BCS - May 2020 report

OMSI 2

It's report time!

Overall statistics

Our company rating has been jumping around 90 - 91% this month.

Finances

Our balance this month dropped under 1 million, but that is due to the fact that we got 4 new maps this month and because they increased the maintenance costs of the buses and activity was a lot less (revenue is over 100k less than previous months).

Employees

Top drivers of the month are:

  • bradm56 (income 43 758€)

    New map: Manly ACT Three

    OMSI 2

    Even though I'm hearing very mixed reviews about this map, I've decided to give it a shot and add it. We'll see how things go.

    DO NOT ENABLE COLLISIONS FOR THIS MAP!!!

    Like always, you can find the link for this map on our maps page.

    New map: Strathshire

    OMSI 2

    And yet another new map, this time for UK community. Strathshire has made it to the company.

    Strathshire is the first mainland Scottish map for OMSI 2. Strathdon, the main city of region, rose to prominence in the 1860s with a tourism boom driven by the industrial revolution and railway. Strathshire’s population is approximately 120,000 residents but the region attracts many visitors every year, the majority of whom flock to Strathdon for the bustling markets and its renowned nightlife.

    OMSI 2

    Let's check out what fuss is. Our company is hosting a Control Center event tomorrow.

    Sadly the event is earlier than I was hoping for, instead of using the company time, it used my local timezone. But thankly I set the event as 4 hours long so you can join later also I think, see your timezone below:

    New map: Bad Hügelsdorf 2020

    OMSI 2

    We have added the newly released Bad Hügelsdorf to the company. We won't be adding the MAN LC A20 as we have perfectly working more modern version and freeware already in the company.

    MAN LC A25 I need to try before deciding. We already have the freeware A25 EEV Beta and as far as I remember it is working nicely (only bug I remember was that the kneeling can get stuck), I will check it also again and then decide. If possible I don't want to add the one from DLC to not duplicate the buses in the depot and thus I'd prefer to keep the free versions.

    Forum - user cleanup and some changes

    General

    Due to the fact that there we a lot of spam user accounts on our forum, I've cleaned up and deleted a lot of accounts that had 0 posts on the forums. If your account was one of them, do not worry, feel free to make a new one.

    Thanks to that I've added several security extensions and renabled some of the old ones that where broken at some time.

    Discord login is also now enabled. (If there already exists and account that uses your Discord e-mail, it will be automatically linked).

    Additionally, I've updated the categories/tags a bit, having a new result looking like this:

    New bus: MAN Lion's City A21 Bus Train

    OMSI 2

    For the first time in our company, a mighty bus-train is making an appearance. Front side is MAN Lion's City A21 3-door Euro 6. Attached to it is the a short trailer, making the total lenght of the bus 23m. Capacity of this monster is 157 passengers.

    Even though the bus is long, due to the fact that both trailer axles steer, it can do quite tight turns (I'd say even better than some articulated buses).

    Bus is parked in Depot 4, position 4 and carries fleet number #2206. Bus comes with Münich DLC. In future, we plan to replace it...

    New map: München

    OMSI 2

    I've added München DLC map for the company. If the map is used enough for the next 3 months, we will keep it (don't need much honestly, it's quite cheap considering it's quality).

    The map has 3 driveable lines at the time of writing.

    Small homepage updates

    General

    In the last week I have been improving some known bugs on our homepage, for example:

  • News posts lists were broken on first page load (they overlapped each other)
  • A bug that forced me to disable post content summaries on post lists, now fixed and summaries enabled again
  • and added some new features:

  • It is now possible to link directly to our bus in fleet page using the fleet number, for example: https://gogroupvirtual.eu/omsi/buses#1824 will directly scroll your page to to Volvo 7700A Facelift
  • Added gallery for news posts and pages that open image using shadowbox
  • Post thumbnail image is also ...
