OMSI2 - First Look - Part 1 of 2 (Bus Simulator)

[@jayzhead]

I was waiting to see if you'd give OMSI a shot... definitely my favorite sim. A few points: 1. The temperature in the bus starting out low is because the temperature "outside" was low. OMSI sets the temperature approximately to the date; as is indicated by the map builder in the map global configuration file. When you changed the weather to "summerlike" the temperature outside jumped up. 2. The switch above the station brake that you kept flicking for the back door is actually the switch to lock the back door open - otherwise known as the "baby stroller switch". You don't need it during regular operation. In the BVG buses the back door is automatic, it is unlocked when you activate the station brake and is operated by the passengers. 3. The tours are actually quite important. Instead of jumping an hour+ every time on the same tour, you could have selected another one, the departure times for route 109 in hamburg are just a few minutes apart. 4. You actually started the ride by blowing a red light - the green showing was not for you but for the connecting street from the left. There was a special bus/tram traffic light on the right, which was showing a horizontal line. That means stop. A vertical or diagonal line means go - if it's diagonal, the go in the direction of the line. Also, you should have gotten into the bus lane in the center after the turn. Cheers :)

[@miggis]

which button is to come in contact with the signal so it shows A? (i found out that you just approach it, ignore this)

[@Armandosparadais69]

It is automatic you dont have to press nothing. You just have to get closer to the light​@@miggis

[@spidy2806]

Hey Squirrel, i think the passengers complained at the end of the video, because you actually did run over the red light and you weren't using the bus lane :) Public transportation has its own traffic lights, they have the same order so reading them is easy, but use "-" for red, "." for yellow and "|" for green. The green one may also be "/" or "\" to indicate a green light for a right or left turn, same as the green arrows for normal cars. Greetings from Germany!

[@SiringGD]

I love that the street you spawned on is the street I have been at in Hamburg, and that big building that was behind the bus is Saturn, a big electronics store. And infront of the bus is the museum of art history, along with a mcDonalds. To the left, there is the main train station, along with a KFC and a lot of burger kings XD

[@cibie01]

You have surprised me with this one Paul i never thought this sim was so detailed and good as this. so looking forward to watching part 2.

[@adamrules01]

at one point it was 150 degrees in your bus, thats enough to melt a human being ;D

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

Can't forget your hilarious stream with OMSI, absolutely epic!

[@ptsdpamphletcompany5890]

Imagine you are getting on this bus, you approach from the drivers side, and you see this full grown Englishman playing with his squeaky window with the face of a three year old. Love the video Squirrel you should try Resistance and Liberation if you like realistic FPSs.

[@egoleech]

this isn't actually detailed....it's god damn SPOT ON. I am from Hamburg and I instantly recognized it. you started on the bridge crossing over the central station platforms. pretty cool !

[@musicalaviator]

Melbourne Australia MyKi mode. Passengers swipe on and off. No tickets or payment available on the bus at all. Need a top up? Do it at the big stops or select service stations. Sometimes the swipe things don't work and you get a pile up of passengers trying to swipe off before getting off.

[@matthiask1637]

Hi, I'm from Germany and for your information squirrel Hauptbahnhof is the central trainstation .

[@Onliner94]

I don't know if you noticed/know... you have a seperate light system (instead of green orange and red) for busses and in general public transport... you might look into it!

[@desbarts]

What you forgot to mention is the huge community behind omsi with great free maps and busses. There are only a few addons compared to the amount oof good quality maps and busses out there :D

[@Jammerx65]

nice vid squirrel. When you set off too early, the woman complaind -"wie fahren sie denn, haben sie überhaupt einen Führerschein" - "what's up with your driving, have you even got a driving license?"

[@TVThord]

Great fun to watch. Went looking for other videos of this while waiting on part two but in general noone talks, just vids of different bus routes. My first thought upon seeing a passenger was hey it's "Mary, Mungo and Midge" all over again, old kids TV, Google it.

[@alexs1243]

For general knowledge, Hauptbahnhof is central bus/train station, not a city. Haupt being main, Bahn- train rail/road and hof being station/port. Love your videos Squirrel!!!

[@taeseemakenzy5459]

The best thing about your videos that you talk in good way that keep me enjoy the game and forget the time when i see your videos,,,,really nice.....keep going man

[@SuperAless112]

U just ran oveer the red bus light squirrel, if they are set as in the video you have to wait until they get green. Those are special bus and tram lights in germany...:D hehe its great fun to watch your vid man! :D Greetings from Germany dude ^^

[@DannyBrooks14]

Great video I can't remember off the top of my head but if u push one of the buttons on the I bus system it will do the bus stop announcements automatically

[@PTDriver-rv2so]

That red button which is supposedly the secondary heater is actually the hazard lights!!! Yes I have this game

[@GustavLjungberg]

If you want to play around, after you turned the engine on, turn off the electronics. The engine fans will stop and if you drive long enough your engine will get really hot and catch on fire! Upvote so he can see this please :-).

[@jakebahulse894]

The roller destination didn't set because when you went into the set destination menu you need to highlight the destination before you click ok or it will not set the destination and only set the line number :)

[@NielsKersic]

This video might not be as interesting to watch as some other videos, but I really like that you took your time to research this stuff

[@matthewmaynard5979]

So glad you finally did a video on this! It's a great game.

[@knorke3642]

As OMSI has quite a history, I think you should know, that its not so much about the graphics and more about the "simulating experience" and the depth of it. The longer you play the game, the better you might become as a bus driver. The physics aare very good indeed and also you need to aquire some skill as a driver. In that regard OMSI is not as badly programmed as EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR. OMSI feels a lot more real. I know of a driving school instructor who uses OMSI to get his students learning some of the important routines needed for driving large vehicles such as buses. Everything is programmed to scale which means the roads aren`t as wide as in other "simulators".

[@GenosGlory]

That bus is an open space lol. In London the driver would be dragged outside the bus every night lol.

[@AdamHoas]

I find this video very good as its like an tutorial when its also a first look

[@daviduttermark7027]

It's the very beginning. Like the first screen when you launch from Steam.

[@mindkiller76]

This turned out pretty entertaining to watch. I wish SCS would do similar game (with all realism wih buttons and trip computer) on their engine with their skill. Somehing I would like to keep to myself, but can't. There's way to many black people in Berlin as for 1990-s.

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

Imagine both OMSI and ETS2 kinda merging and each game taking over the good things of the other game...we would have 2 epic simulators.

[@dangerlifetime2]

Jay K Imagine there was a world simulator, Where all the good sims would merge in one gigantic, massive world. OMSI, Train sim's, Flight sims, farming sim and many many other sims.. I would call it...Life Simulator. (Copyright. k thx. bye.) However, that would be a huge sized file...But the possibilities!

[@mindkiller76]

dangerlifetime2 You overdid it.

[@dangerlifetime2]

Alexander Shepard I had a dream! :'(

[@mindkiller76]

[@MrCaptainjack1988]

Brilliant video Paul you really explained it all perfectly I was worried about getting this because I wouldn't be able to understand it but now I have to do is keep this video open and it's a perfect play by play for bussing thank you and it was so funny when you streamed this lol

[@RIATfan0100]

Don't really like buses but like this game...anyway, can't wait for part 2 :)

[@MatthewMJB]

Hauptbahnhof isn't a city, it means Central Train Station xD

Sweet video squirrel my school bus suspention shattered today haha

[@Junapelaaja]

In my opinion -15 °C isn't so cold, I live in Finland and temperature in the outside is about -15 °C right now.

at 7:02 when the engine starts, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner

[@unkn0wnurbex311]

The driver model is extremely realistic haha.

[@oClucker]

25 mins in and you are now just driving lol. Im glad u went through all the steps though. I have been interested in this game for some time but its alittle pricey and looks a tad intimidating.

[@bear2779]

I like all your videos because of the truck simulation

[@hen.brings]

In germany we actually have EURO.. :) Thats what the cash dispenser dispenses by the way :D 😜

[@andrewsebastianrothgarnant350]

Omsi 2 is based on the time from 1989 to 1994 in Berlin and at that time Euros didn´t exist. Hamburg Day & Night, the add-on he uses here, comes with a Euro currentcy add-on. If you just buy Omsi 2 and drives the original map (Berlin Spandau routes 5/92/5N/13N/E522 or 130/137/30N/33N depending on time time) and they uses D-mark. So originally in Omsi they use D-mark so you are both right

[@fredrikmelin1490]

Andrew Nielsen the cars in the game are very modern though..

[@fredrikmelin1490]

***** a smart 42 at the 29:00 mark as well

[@andrewsebastianrothgarnant350]

Fredrik Melin ***** Those are also a part of the Hamburg add-on. They are not a part of the original game

[@fredrikmelin1490]

Andrew Nielsen oh i see, thanks!

[@BrotherEG]

This video really helped me understand the game! Thanks Mr. Squirrel :)

[@2008tourer]

Hauptbahnhof means "main train station". ;)

[@jensL.]

They sad "how are you driving?" and i think it was said because you went through the red bus light. The traffic lights showed green, but the lights on the right side with the diagonal lines may have told you to stop but i am not sure with that

[@jensL.]

I have to correct my self, the diagonals said free to make left turn

[@jensL.]

Oh i miss Seen those lights, they are horizontal not diagonal, so they mean stop

[@lukecarter7244]

Hey paul love the vids! Just to say that Hauptbahnhof means 'central bus station', it isn't a place name

[@LowBudgetKiwi]

Squirrel dude, when was the last time you actually caught a bus? You don't need to set the sign on the front because no one ever reads the bloody thing anymore, they just get on any old bus and hold up the run they don't want asking where the bus is going hehe

[@grandpa1955]

Once again a great video. Nice job, but that is what we've come to expect, right? Were you aware you can get real time weather? On the weather page if you put the identifier of any airport, it will automatically update the sim weather to the weather at that airport. I use KGRR which is Grand Rapids MI and it works great!

[@TheRammMan]

Great tutorial! Couldn't really care less if the steering wheel was there or not. Only problem with the bus I was trying for the first time is the ticket machine wasn't there so where the hell is the time other than bringing it up in the menu which is a pain in the arse?

Nice vid and hope that comes more from OMSI2 a little tip remember to run right up to the stop spot and when there is not so many people you dont need to open both dors but only one door and if no passenger getter on or off at the stop drive past it the you dont need to stop at it and on store 31,99 and on steam 31,99 where can i save 40 %

[@squirrel]

benjamin amonsen That's pretty weird because when I view the item via my link it's £15.20 (about 19.43EUR) where as on Steam it's £26.99 (about 34.50 EUR). Sounds like they are selling into your country for more money. Try a VPN :)

[@benner42]

Squirrel it allright now thanks agian for the vid

[@jonathanharregaard5809]

I'm sorry Paul, but "Hauptbahnhof" is not the name of the city. It means Central Station.

if only the spawning algorithm was the same in train sim, would save a lot of time
