Map: • OMSI 2 | NOVI SAD - DO...

Happy New Year, best wishes ! Although I don't have OMSI 2 on my computer, as a bus enthusiast and as a person who lived in Novi Sad for a couple of years (and still goes there from time to time), I will confirm that the map is really great ! The details are done really well, I can recognize parts of the city that I'm familiar with in real life. I'll be honest - I didn't quite use this route often, it served to me more as a helping route when I needed to get around the center of the city, or to the University campsus. So, I don't know Klisa (the part of the city where you ended the ride) as well as other parts of, at least, this route. When it comes to buses used in real life - no, the MAN NL 202 or NG 313 weren't used there. Sadly, many of the models that were actually in service, aren't made for OMSI at all. Probably the most important buses in JGSP Novi Sad's history, Neobus 405G (solo, you can see one of them as a static element, across the street, ond the City Center terminus at 7:28) or 405 GZ (articulated), based on the Volvo B10M / B10MA chassis, don't exist in OMSI at all. And it would be a lot of work to make them all, since JGSP Novi Sad used all 4 generations of the chassis, with different gearboxes, bodyworks etc. So, if you want to make these videos as close to the reality as possible, I would recommend the following buses: 1. BMC Procity 12 CNG or 18 CNG (if it exists in OMSI - these are in service in Novi Sad since 2020); 2. Ikarbus IK 103 2005 (Novi Sad) made by OMSI Ikarbus factory - you can look up the model on KZbin, and it's available. These were in service from 2005 to (I think) 2019 or 2020, I'm not sure; 3. Ikarus Zemun models made by Ralexx. There's even JGSP Novi Sad repaints for these. Ikarus Zemun buses were in serivce in Novi Sad from the 1980's to the late 2000's or early 2010's, I don't know exactly. Of course, it's not an obligation to use any of them, but, since you mentioned that subject, I just gave you some information on it. Looking forward to more uploads like this.

Hi thank you for the information. Will use the Zenum ones as have them, might look for other ones too. Always a shame with omsi 2 that with maps often buses for them that were used in real life are lacking.

@@TransportEnthusiast Of course, it's a pity, and that especially goes for Novi Sad, since those Neobus-Volvo B10M buses are the city's trademark. Some other Serbian cities did have Neobus buses, but the ones with Volvo mechanics were unique to Novi Sad. But, I'm not the right person to complain, since, as I've said, I don't have OMSI on my computer, and also - I don't know how to make models for gaming. However, I do hope someone will be inspired enough to make, at least, the B10M / B10MA MkIV generation, which is still in service today. At least for those, the resources are still available. For the older ones - there are plenty of photos, but, sounds could be a problem.

@ikarbussounds7909 true, yes I know there are some B10Ms for Omsi 2, but not Novi Sad spec. That is indeed the issue as buses get older harder to get access for references.

[@ikarbussounds7909]

​​@@TransportEnthusiast Well, the only hope for the older ones could be eventually finding recordings on KZbin. Still, B10M and B58 buses in Novi Sad came with Allison automatic, Wilson semi-automatic, and (to me) unknown type of a manual gearbox. So, all of that could be hard to find... BTW, here are some more buses that are still in service in Novi Sad, so you can check if they are available in OMSI: 2011/12 Iveco Irisbus Citelis 12 CNG 2011/12 Solaris Urbino 12 CNG 2020 Mercedes-Benz Conecto NGT 201x Iveco Crossway 2015/16 Ikarbus IK 112N / 218N 2023 Solaris Urbino 12 electric Of course, you can drive diesel versions in OMSI, but, at least you know the models.

Just to let you know that some GPUs have issue with loading textures. In optional folder you have white texture fix ;)

Hi thank you, yes will add them, just didn't have time to it for this video with omsi 2 taking ages to load lol.
