Replacement of SU III buses planned
OMSI 2
Last month I posted a poll on our Discord if we should replace the current Solaris Urbino III buses with Sobol's version.
I'd say the results are now in and they look like this:
This means I'll start working on replacing the buses as soon as possible.
Moving back to TrucksBook
American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2
After trialing TruckersHub for our company for a month, I've made a decision to move back to Trucksbook for our company: https://trucksbook.eu/company/57084
Some of the reasons being, more things than I like are paywalled in Truckershub, the website is quite slow and I've found somne issues with how the truckershub runs (and possible it won't work with Linux also, Trucksbooks you can get working with linux with some effort, I've managed to do it).
Thankly only me and Thunderburrow have used TruckersHub so it won't affect anybody else.
Monthly report - October 2024
American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2
It's been a long time since our monthly reports stopped - I think it's time to restart them. We had some dark times in the company, At september BCS company was actually in negative balance but thanks to multiple people, the company got a huge revival
I'd like to say welcome also to Thunderburrow, who became the manager exclusively for our trucking side.
Bus Company SimulatorAs mentioned in the opening, our company balance actually reached negative balance in September but thanks to multiple players, who stepped up and saved the company.
Favourite busses
Between September 2023 and October 2...
Buses moved from garage 3 to garage 2
OMSI 2
Due to garage 2 becoming quite empty over time, I've moved over the last buses from garage 3 to garage 2 as it's closer. Only Adalbero's private bus was left there.
Another question is, should I move Irisbus buses from Garage 9 over to Garage 3? Personally I find Garage 9 quite annoying to access. I've added a poll regarding this on our Discord: https://discord.com/channels/203131126657581058/1057067161878810675/1300828131745206325

New map: Ingolstadt
OMSI 2
Welcome to Ingolstadt in the heart of Bavaria.
Get behind the bus wheel and explore the Ingolstadt region with a regional transport company (including Stadtbus Ingolstadt, Spangler, RBA) on 11 day and 7 night routes with travel times between 5 and 75 minutes.
Show off your skills in the dense city traffic around the ZOB, watch out for the many shopping enthusiasts in the pedestrian zone and in front of the town hall, navigate your way through the narrow village streets around Irgertsheim, Lenting or Manching and defy the various daytime and weather conditions!
The structural condition is based...
Liestal map will be removed after October
OMSI 2
Due to the fact that I found that Liestal map install process messes with other maps (like ALU), I've decide not to extend the map for the next month. It also hasn't been used very much so it was on the borderline of being removed anyway.
New trucking paintjobs to more match our buses
American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2
We have made adjustments to the ETS 2 and ATS paintjobs to more match how our buses look like in OMSI.

New trucking tracker: Truckershub
American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2
We have moved GO Group turcking company over to Truckershub over trucksbook! It was reccomended to me and seems interesting.
Link: https://truckershub.in/vtc/930
The reason is that Truckershub has more features and multiple things that are under paid version of Trucksbook - are free in Truckershub.
It also has something called simulation mode, which seems interesting: https://forum.truckershub.in/index.php?/topic/17-how-to-use-truckershub-simulation-system/
New buses: Solaris Urbino IV CNGs & Facelift Electrics (by Iwo)
OMSI 2
It's been a while since our last news post. After finding out about Iwo's version of the Solaris Urbino IV buses, I fell in love with them and so have multiple people. They are a bit more polished than Sobol versions (for example working rain texturers) and there are more variations Thus we have added multiple verions of the buses to our company:
