We've added a new bus to the company from the MAN Lions Intercity LE DLC. The version we've opted is the intercity variation 42C, which is 12m version with 1-2 door configuration. Because our MAN New Lion's City buses are Voith versions, this time we opted for ZF version.

Repaint, like always from our fleet page.

Many of you have noticed that it's been a while since I made a last report about the company. It's not that I've forgotten you - I've just been quite busy and the excel sheet we used as a base for BCS report - hasn't needed updating as we now have most of the info ingame.

However, it's time for the report to come back!

Strangely enough our company rating is doing quite good, but our finances have steadily continued to drop. Sadly this does mean I will need to once again remove non-profitable maps.

Most driven buses since March 2023

On BCS side as you can see, compared to last month - everything is up. We had a very slight increase in profit, Rating is also up to 78%. ETS 2 saw quite low usage this month, ATS none at all.

Updated the repaints to be properly compatible with the latest update and added the secret addition of the fictional 21m bus

It's been a vey long time since our last report. I've been busy with various things and broke our report sheet.

Compared to when I made our last report, our taings have stayed the same mostly. Financially we have lsot money overall and are now under what I consider the red line. I have slowly been removing buses that have not been used for more than half a year when they have reached the maintenance cycle.

Map description translated using DeepL:

Welcome to Villeumol!

Villeumol is a fictitious Belgian map that was created on OMSI 1 in 2012. But restarted from scratch under OMSI 2. On this timeless map of location (and logic) you will certainly find something to entertain you.

It is possible to move from an urban landscape to an airport setting, through the countryside and heavy industrial areas in a single line.

You won't be able to get into trouble down here if you dare to climb Mont Villeumol to the depths of Harvignies. But beware, think of taking a powerful engine.

A family outing is a...

During the webdisk advent calendar, a new freeware Citaro C2 pack was released. As I missed it I didn't have a chance to look into it. But now it has been released publicly and just wow. The pack was well made, has many different variations and is free! Thus we decided to replace all of our Hamburg and Rheinhausen Citaro C2-s, with this free version (eCitaros are untouched).

As requested by one of our drivers I've readded the Julian's MB O405 buses. Both buses are in depot 3, next to the O405 and O405G.

Right now they use our old repaints, if they get enough use, I'll update the repaints.

Delayed, but here is the report fot August and July.

Financially we were losing money again so in Discord we made a team decision to raise the company and driver share to 75 - 25, meaning more money goes to the company and less to driver. This helps us to stay in the green and we don't need to remove maps. September balance seems high, because the map extensions again got pushed into October, that is the balance you need to look at.

Company rating has been on the rise.

It's time for the July 2022 report.

We were late in extending the map licenses this month so you have to look the August balance to see the correct number. We lost both in rating and financially this month. Financially we are very close to our red line, which is company balance under 500 thousand.
