OMSI 2 | Westcountry 3 | Wilts & Dorset On The Park & Ride | Digibus Phantom

Hello and welcome to another OMSI 2 video!
Today we're going for a drive in the DAF DB250 Optare Spectra, also known as the "FAF Digibus Phantom". This bus is a payware addon by V3D which brings this fantastic bus to our OMSI world.
I've driven this before, and to be honest with you i'd kinda forgotten how good it is! I really enjoyed the sounds of this bus, and how it is to drive, and I think maybe it's been neglected on this channel.
Anyway today we're on the Park and Ride Route 100 on Westcountry 3, where we'll be taking this bus for a spin into town and back!

Always liked the old Slavecoach moquette. Probably the only thing I did like about them when I worked there 😃 Only one of the original step entry London Spectras was dual door, all the rest were single.

[@Deepleswanseavalleybusspotter]

Its stagecoach

[@Welshy98]

Major throwback to my childhood. Arriva Merseyside on the 86!

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Shame that Fellowsfilm was down otherwise i'd have used an Arriva repaint haha

[@busman-gd5ek]

It's old wilts & Dorset livery know know as Salisbury reds and owned by go ahead south coast most of these were sold to Abus bristol until last year when abus ceased trading

[@kanebrewer1966]

Not just Salisbury reds, also damory

[@willhouse2321]

Used to travel on these home from school before they were replaced with Saab/Scania busses. The carpet on the ceiling was typical wilts and Dorset I will not hear a bad word said about it 😂😂 wish there was the little optare single deck busses too they used to make the best sound x

[@randomtrainfan6501]

I love your OMSI 2 videos. Keep up the amazing work!! 😃

[@NFFC-su8he]

Great Video Joe! DOnt see much people drive the digibus in omsi but glad to see you drive it.

[@jet-inairwaysvirtual.4290]

Allways fun to watch. thank you joe have a great day.

[@purbeckbusandrailspotter707]

I remember this livery very well The spectra was my childhood bus. Wish it had a ZF mod. Brilliant video. Wilts and Dorset was my local now it more bus and Salisbury reds.

[@32446]

Nice bus and video Joe! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend Joe!

[@kanebrewer1966]

I used to drive for damory and a lot of the paint jobs were still wilts and Dorset, definitely my favourite one to drive

[@DakotaBusCaptures]

Optare Spectra's are my favourite looking double-decker buses. Less is more with design to me. Always.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Agreed! They're a really smart looking bus :D

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

Oooh yes yes yes, I love the spectra, Looking forward to this video It is a shame that they've all gone, I don't think even squarepeg has the 02 or 52 plate ex-arriva Yorkshire ones anymore, I used to ride on them twice a day every day a couple of years ago, but sadly this was before I could appreciate them as I wasn't a bus nut at that point

[@SamsulekG]

Hopefully we can get an ALX300 soon

[@janejolly-by8xr]

thank you joe

[@sweatybandit0]

Love these sort of buses. I'm sure some of the other buses around this generation would've had a mirror in the cabin to view the upstairs. I always got told off as a kid by my mum for looking down it from the top deck😂

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Yep! I did too haha :D

[@colinn_1984]

I am sure the carpet on the roof is a reference point for turning lol

[@jonny-simulation-gamer]

can not wait for the solo from 3vd

[@ZacharyUKTransport]

12:37 IRL there was Spectra's with dual doors but in OMSI there isn't any dual door of the Spectra. and nice video.

[@stuearith9895]

Great idea with this and the Joe ahead company maybe do one in the temporary old livery and one in the Joe ahead orange and black would look great.

[@KamsterMcFaffson]

Nice I have been thinking of buying omsi 2 for a while now, wanted to ask, does this have steering wheel/pedal support?

[@chrismorris9571]

You're right, R291CVM and R292CVM were the first low floor deckers to enter service in the UK, with Bullocks of Cheadle in Manchester. They just beat Travel West Midlands' R1NEG into service, which was also a Spectra. And there were dual door step entrance Spectras, mostly for Turkey - only 1 entered service in the UK, K302FYG with Metroline.

[@MrMikeJkay]

R1 NEG is preserved here in the West Midlands, and redone into its original Travel West Midlands paint scheme.

[@reecedunn2113]

Another great video Joe 😁 when you spawn the bus can you use it for yorkshire 3.0 if so can you do route 8 on yorkshire 3.0. Keep up the fantastic work 😁 I would love to win the giveaway but... I don't have discord

[@thecivilisedway9510]

I work for Salisbury Reds/Wilts and Dorset, let me know if you have any questions!

[@mrquickogaming]

What do you use to drive on omsi 2?

[@LordMoss_Gaming]

how often do people release new buses for OMSI?

[@daverave40]

How do you know the switch way to go ??

[@andrewstransportvideos]

Joe you should try some go north east liverys

[@EmisTransportVideos]

10:42 😳

[@marcelgreco8357]

would be amazziiinnnngggg if someone made a high quality Dennis dart. I love seeing them all the time in Swindon

[@tarantino9746]

Us in Swindon are very lucky to have Darts everywhere and not solos! i would really love a high quality dart, one wit5h a voith ( like the old thamesdown ones) and a allison would be amazing! maybe one day

[@marcelgreco8357]

@@tarantino9746 yh same would love that massive shame thamesdown got rid of theirs but at least Stagecoach still have them

[@tarantino9746]

@@marcelgreco8357 if Thamesdown didnt scrap theirs, theyd get quite a bit as its very rare to find a VOITH Dart. im glad Stagecoach have darts instead of solos!

[@louisadlam3077]

We have digibus still for a school bus

[@mufc10529]

when ya said tyres do ya mean the coach and bus company

[@Deepleswanseavalleybusspotter]

FAF 💀💀💀

[@Enzurple6]

Hey Joe! Recently got the MS gen3 pack and luckily it works unlike other paid DLCS I've had before, but in the main Paignton area I get a severe frame drop to 20, I have a very very very high end PC it my graphics will suffice for the performance. Can you please share some ways to fix this?

[@bus3s]

this happens for me aswell

[@MKT-Ginger-Fox]

Do the York park and ride

[@adamroberts2517]

Do a vid on a e400 on route 35

[@JNTransport]

I’m new to OMSI 2 and I am wondering how I get the red text up in the top corner

[@ZacharyUKTransport]

Shift and Y

[@finleyplympton]

please can we have W&D Spectra in London ?

[@maxforbes4582]

how to get the bus skin

[@FirstSmit]

Abus had a 53 plate

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Turns out they were produced until 2006 haha, every day is a school day!

[@FirstSmit]

@@JoeDobsongaming I didn't know that either, You really do learn something new every day

[@scorpionwolf9729]

I got all available Optares, Scanias, Plaxtons & Wrightbus Geminis

[@littlestation7796]

Can you do a vid how to install omsi2 maps

[@JoeDobsongaming]

It'd be a short video Little Station :D It's just drag and drop into the OMSI install folder :D

[@BobbySingh-qm4js]

ajay

[@jonny-simulation-gamer]

[@GBRf66715_]

He didn’t ask that though

[@simoncornwall5169]
