OMSI 2 is a bus simulation game developed by M-R Software GbR and published by Aerosoft. It has only been available on Microsoft Windows through Steam, since the game's release, December 11, 2013.[1]
It is the sucessor to OMSI (trading as OMSI: The Bus Simulator) released in 2011, first published by Aerosoft on DVD. M-R Software has since dissolved but DLC continues to be produced.[2]
Gameplay
The base game offers two maps based in Germany, and one bus manufacturer, MAN, with buses such as the NL202, or the SD200 or SD202. The two maps are based in the late 1980s (1989), to the early 1990s. The Berlin-Spandau map is one of them, recreated on a 1:1 scale. OMSI also offers Grundorf, a small, fictional town with one short bus route.
Users are able to enter the OMSI: Editor and create or edit maps, they can change ticket prices, the currency or scenery used.
Criticism
OMSI is known for constant glitching and freezing, as the game only requires 2GB RAM. Some DLC (downloadable content) is criticized for being poorly made or being overpriced.
Modding
Users can install mods to their OMSI simulation, either freeware or payware, so they can access more maps, buses, or even objects and roads for the editor.
Popular places to install said mods include the OMSI Web Disk, or UK-based Fellowsfilm.
DLC (downloadable content)
As the two owners, Marcel Kuhnt and Rüdiger Hülsmann, no longer work on OMSI, developers publish buses and maps through Aerosoft which then becomes DLC on Steam. DLC can vary from buses, to maps, or even utility and tools.
