New bus: MAN Lion's City A25

OMSI 2

We have another bus from Lion's City family, but this time it's a 15m version intercity/urban beast. The bus is still in Beta but fairly okay.

You will also notice that this time around the repaint is different compared to other urban buses. That's because Adalbero, our original urban design author, has been missing in action for a very long time and none of us really can properly replicate that paint, thus I made a new one.

The bus is parked in depot 6 and is designated number 1600. It doesn't have K++ destination display sadly.

Some neat extra info: The steering wheel is adjustable with...

Updated Solaris buses

OMSI 2

There has been a massive switcharound with our Solaris buses. All of them changed due to SU PL Megapack and Electri Family pack updates.

Changes
  • U10 has been replaced with the updated Euro 5 version
  • U15 and U18 have been replaced with their respective Euro 6 Ecolife versions.
  • U12 Hybrid was replaced with U12 Euro 6 Ecolife (we decided to not use the Hybrid because the model doesn't look like the Hybrid and we have Electric versions also)

  • U18 Electric has been added
  • Additionally all of the buses received a repaint update. Th...

    Insurance contract terminated

    OMSI 2

    We have decided to terminate our insurance contract in Bus Company Simulator due to it being extremely costly (I remember wrongly how much it costs for the company) and damages on the buses have been mostly on the cheaper side and there are a lot less of them so it doesn't justify keeping especially on current times when our balance is decreasing.

    It will terminate on 05.09.2019 15:18 company time

    How much did it actually cost for us?

    As you can see from the image in thumbnail it costed us 43€ per day per bus. So we have 78 buses and on avarage there are 30 days in a month. So it costed us: ...

    MAN Lion's City Pack update

    OMSI 2

    I'm glad to announce that our Lion's City Pack has been updated. It is now merged with Sobol's update 1.21. Due to this, there have been some changes with the buses in our depot:

  • No 1237 MAN Lion's City A21 Euro 6 has been updated. Old permissions stayed.
  • No 1238 MAN Lion's City A21 Euro 6 CNG has been replaced with MAN Lion's City A37 Hybrid, thus new permissions will need to be aquired.
  • No 1822 MAN Lion's City A23 Euro 6 articulated bus has been replaced with MAN Lion's City A23 EEV, because the new update broke the version we used before. New permissions will need to be aquired.
  • A new smal...

    Several buses removed and crisis is upon us

    OMSI 2

    As I posted in May's Monthly report I planned to remove several of the company buses depeding on how the company does for the next month.

    The month has now ended and the news aren't good. As you can see from the image below...

    ...things aren't looking good. Our company's balance is rapidly falling (fast) and this has resulted in me removing in total of 18 buses. List of all removed buses can be found on our fleet page, if you click on the Graveyard tab.

    Should our company balance drop even more, we will need to remove even more (and this time we problably need to attack the maps also or insur...

    Minimum rank to join dropped significantly

    OMSI 2

    At the time of writing this post, minimum rank to join the company is now as low as 4 (compared to usual 8-10) as we did our half-yearly cleanup.

    For future references, while our company does not have a required minium rank to join, we do clean up members who haven't driven more than half of last year twice a year (usually once at the end of it and once in summer) to lower the employee count, thus lowering minimum required rank to join (exceptions are members who have notified us of their absence).

    All members who have been kicked, if you are back once again, feel free to return.

    BCS Poll: Do you want a feature that penalties players who don't report damages?

    OMSI 2

    Pedepe team has started a poll on PeDePe forums, should they add a feature that:

    If a bus has been damaged by a user and has not reported the defect, a higher assumption of the repair costs (in%) would be due than if the user reported the defect. (eg 20 when reporting the repair value and 80% when not reporting the repair value). Thus, other users would be spared potential annoyance when they want to start their tour with a half-broken bus.

    You're welcome if you like the feature.

    It is all about the message on the premises. Not while driving in the info bar.
