Company report - September 2021

American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2

First month of September and on BCS side news aren't good. We have gone under out critical line (balance under 1million, which we considered always as a reserve). We also have hit multiple all time low records. like:

  • Total completed trips: 87 (so far this number has been between 150 - 400)
  • Revenue of the month: 101k (so far lowest has been a bit over 200k)
  • All time low company rating: 66%
  • Our company rating is also very low, only 66%, which limits us adding any new maps.

    All of this means our BCS company is now at red mode, we are starting to make survival steps:

    Company report - August 2021

    American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2

    Summer has ended and here's the last report for the summer. BCS side, we stayed in profit but that is because we did remove the maps that didn't bring us any money. Our rating dropped under 70% month but by the end of the month thankly it had risen back over 70%. Sadly it's still quite low and we are limited - for example we can't add new nor update existing maps.

    As you can see our biggest it is from activity (that is also the most counting part of the rating) - that also explains low funds. Financially we have a small profit.

    American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2

    New month, new company report. Activity was low (or even nonexistent in case of ATS) on all fronts.

    OMSI 2 / Bus Company Simulator

    This month was quite catastrophic. This has resulted on some cuts regarding the maps. We lost over 200k. Our rating has also dropped quite significantly.

    OMSI - Direct X to Vulkan translator - potential performance improvement

    OMSI 2

    Just recently an addon for OMSI was released that may run OMSI better and more stable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2461019058 (there's also a version on webdisk but it's less detailed, missing config and instructions)

    Originally we looked at it skeptically but now multiple members have tested it and for most it seems to improve OMSI FPS significantly as strange as it is. It is extremely easy to test it out.

    As the author also noted on the download page: On the start of OMSI may have micro sttutering (with similar performance or even worse than without this), due to ...

    Company report - May 2021

    American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2

    New month, new company report. Nothing unusual, except that Gameburrow forgot to extend the maps on correct time so we had about 12 hours without any maps. Thanks to that our finances are also a bit off.

    Since the maps got extended the month after, the expenses are lower than usual. But looking overally we lost money this month.

    New map: Ahlheim 4

    OMSI 2

    The update to the original Ahlheim (not Ahlheim & Laurenzbach) has been released and we added it into the company to see how people will accept it.

    Like always, download link is on our maps page: https://gogroupvirtual.eu/omsi/maps#ahlheim, it has multiple required addons, make sure to read the readme.

    Our OMSI tool now has support for the map also so you can skip the required buses part if you plan to use our tool to replace the buses with our company ones.

    Map description:

    Ahlheim is a fictional city in western North Rhine-Westfalia. The local bus company AVG (Ahlheimer Verkehrsgesellschaft...

    New buses: New Lion's City 12C, 18C and 19C

    OMSI 2

    We have added 3 new buses into the company:

  • 12C 3-door (#1254)
  • 18C 3-door (#1833)
  • 19C 4-door (#1835)
  • All of the buses are from the New Lion's City DLC. All of them are voith versions as ZF versions have issues. The DLC has some issues but mostly you can get them sorted with our mods.

    One of the mods I highly reccomend to install is passenger capacity fix! You can find that and many other neat fixes from our wiki: https://wiki.gogroupvirtual.eu/books/list-of-useful-mods-for-buses/page/man#bkmrk-test

    Company report - March 2021

    American Truck Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 General OMSI 2

    It's time for yet another company report. Sorry it took a while, I redid our spreadsheets format so that I can almost directly copy BCS API data into it and it does it's magic, until I get our new management website done.

    OMSI 2 / Bus Company Simulator

    We had 163k of pure profit this month, which is suprising considering we wasted a bit more money on maps and buses. Company rating is almost 92% this month also - great job everybody!.
