Fernbus Belgium - Ghent to Antwerp - VDL Furtura FDD2 131

[@bartwaterschoot6672]

The building you start from is Gent Sint Pieters. The main rail station for Ghent. And the surrounding area is pretty spot on.

[@darklord1481]

Antwerpen station area is also good

[@jasonclaes787]

In English the name of the station is ghent saint pierre

[@WardStruyf]

I live in Antwerp myself and I can tell you it's a much more beautiful city than represented in the game. The 'mayor's palace' is actually the Central Station and it's absolutely stunning. You also didn't drive through the the old town as you wouldn't in real life

The building that says Chocolate, houses "Chocolate Nation". Kinda like a museum (but not as boring) about chocolate. ;) It's very well done and if you go to Antwerp, it's definately worth a visit.

[@interestedErvini]

I'm loving the regular uploads once again. Keep er going.

[@lgsimulation434]

Damn, been watching since 2013, and look how far simulators have come, amazing graphics, and a amazing youtuber making the experience amazing for us!

[@JessedeGrootTV]

In Ghent they had trolleybuses for a few years, but they stopped with trolleybuses a few years ago, deleted the overhead line and the most buses are exported to Bulgaria for 2nd live. One trolleybus is exported to the city of Arnhem, The Netherlands and it’s in service as a museum bus.

Soon to have my category D drivers licens it is fun to see the bus simulator. As of now i am learning in a Volvo 8700 and an Iveco

[@Historiskarkiv]

Same with me. We're driving an Volvo 8700 too and an Mercedes-Benz Travego. I'm taking the additional DE license too.

So I guess those Static Cows in the fields may be related to those in Milton Keynes. I loved you interacting with the passengers as well. ✅👏

[@MrCanis4]

Most of our motorways in Flanders have three lanes. Especially this one from Ghent to Antwerp.

[@NavidIsANoob]

I live in Antwerp, couple of things: 1) It mostly looks nothing like the real city. I didn't recognize it at all until you arrived on Astridplein (your arrival). It's a very picturesque city, I promise you! 2) Those lion statues you saw are actually the entrance the city's Chinatown district. (Which is more like a single street) 3) That big building you saw at your arrival is the Antwerp Central Station, regarded as one of the, if not the most beautiful railway station in the world. It looks absolutely disgusting the game though, lmao.

Nice! I love these simulator games because I'm 15 and even though I can't work, I can simulate myself working these jobs. (Even though I don't want to be a trucker because it's a stressful and dangerous job with virtually no money) Its kind of fun to see how it looks for truckers since my dad is a trucker.

Beer in cologne is called Kölsch, and it's supposed to be small. Most German would say it's not beer 😂

Hi Squirrel! Fun fact for you. I live in California, and I've seen some Flixbuses here.

[@farmboyfanGaming]

Been playing this for quite some time and I think on average 22C for the aircon is the sweet spot for passengers

[@woutervn]

The Lion statues are at the entrance of China town in real life. They somewhat tried to make it represent a small piece of Antwerp. It's a much nicer city in reality though :)

[@geryvantroyen2614]

Holy Smoke, this is Gent in Belgium. We speak Dutch here (actualy Flemmish). I can not hear a single word in Dutch, also the names are not Flemmish. Have the developpers ever been to Flanders in Belgium? Very strange.

[@UsoundsGermany]

It is a German game guess they did not have a translator for Dutch, only English perhaps? Or passengers are all tourists :)

[@zachs.6714]

Maybe it's just an American thing, but people where I live don't move over when you signal to get onto the freeway. People are also extremely aggressive drivers. That AI doesn't seem all unrealistic in some aspects.

[@geryvantroyen2614]

In Belgium we all move over if possible.

[@EyeMWing]

Re: AI Traffic. Yeah. It's an incredibly difficult problem to solve. In order for you to do it well, you'd have to spend MUCH larger amounts of processing on each individual AI vehicle than, frankly, you spend on the rest of these simulator games.

[@GeckonCZ]

Seriously wth is wrong with the LOD transitions in this game? The buildings and other objects completely disappear as it switches to the hi-poly version. Quite distracting...

[@seppeweets8729]

as a person living in Ghent, gotta say i am very impressed, kinda wondering if my street would be in it too

[@groningenparanormaal3642]

Bio Winkel, Winkel is just a Dutch word for shop haha :)

[@UsoundsGermany]

One of the passengers had a ticket for Magdeburg Busbahnhof lol I was in Brussels once and did not like it much, I liked eg. Brugge much more. "Winkel" means "shop" in Nederlands / flemish I believe

[@birreboi]

I just purchased Bus Sim 18 (was on special) 2 days ago. The AI traffic in that game is actually very good. I would say 99% of AI traffic gives way to your bus when pulling out from a bus stop, when turning and etc. There is just that 1% or so of cars that you learn won't give way to you. Yeah, gotta agree about that brightness in this sim, way too bright overall and certainly in some areas more than others.

[@TheStealthBoarder]

You only really get the 1 litre beers in Bavaria in the south of Germany, and that’s mainly for the tourists. Most other places a “large” beer would be 500ml. Germans generally favour quality over quantity when it comes to their beer

[@mohammedrayyansiddiqui4318]

[@defosh369]

Is it me or the scale of things in this game is way off? The camera from a first person perspective seems unrealistically tall and large, while buses seem smaller then they should be?

[@trainspotterXL]

Wauw it really looks alike 😃

[@Slitheringmike]

So happy the uploads are back again :)

[@daanachten5442]

The big building at the end is the main train station of Antwerp and its right next to the zoo

[@angeloplus4]

ive been to antwerp a few years ago, and i remember that it totally doesnt look like this. in real life its way prettier, bigger, i mean BIGGER. its literally huge. TML really sucks at recreating trainstations. amsterdam centraal and rotterdam centraal doesnt look like the real deal at all. i cant wait to go to antwerp next year :D

[@dimitri_43]

I live in Antwerp its so nice in game .. the lions thing is the Chinese Street in Antwerp en die big building in front of the last bus stop is the general station .and the chocolate building was a popup chocolate factory :)

Beautiful city of Antwerp. You should visit in real life

[@gewoontimm]

lol.. BIO winkel = BIO store.. nothing to fancy there.. just a veggy place and about the 70 km/h speed limit to antwerpen... dispite the satnav telling you you can go 100 km/h.. if the roadsigns say its 70.. stick to 70.. thats how it works IRL.. as i drive there daily with a truck... 70 and 50 km/h is usually during rush hours or when there is a collision.. witch happens a lot there around antwerpen...

Not sure i ever tried the pineapple on pizza thing but i like Kebab pizza very yummy :) The sim looks quite nice as well, think i got some of the bus sims but not played it as of yet. See issues with ETS2 and promods to when it comes to speed, going up the east coast of Sweden the speed changes randomly to 70 when there has been no signs lowering it from 80.

[@unanimous4215]

Why are the static buses still stationary ?? They should be moving around the town picking up passengers at the bus stop and terminals to give the game a more realistic look and feel... While your pulling into bus stops, there should static buses pulling into bus stops as well accommodating passengers to their destinations. Come on Fernbus

[@TheFilwud]

I really wish someone could come up with a bus/coach sim that had sounds that sounded realistic, as well as having physics that made the vehicle feel like it was actually on the ground and not floating above it. Like OMSI2 but up to date, this might look fairly pretty but looks very poor as a simulator. Not for me. Nice relaxing video though, thanks Squiggle, sorry, Squirrel!

[@telquad1953]

If you took pineapple pizza away from us Canadians, there would be ... substantial loss of politeness.
