    OMSI 2 is a highly detailed bus simulator. It does not use SLI technology and is CPU intensive so needs a high end CPU to run effictively. A lot of the previous bugs have been ironed out and for me it rarely if ever crashes.All the cockpit controls can be utilised, you can even switch on the heating!

It does not use SLI technology and is CPU intensive so needs a high end CPU to run effictively. A lot of the previous bugs have been ironed out and for me it rarely if ever crashes.All the cockpit controls can be utilised, you can even switch on the heating! As for device support, TrackIR and Wheel support is also available which is a massive plus! Tutorials are available in the game and it is recommended to look at these before setting off on your own as there are lots of settings you need to know before you should dive in. The menus can be a bit confusing at first, for example if you have TrackIR and find it doesnt work you need to go to the menu in the bottom left and enable it. One thing that could be better improved is setting up a route or line, there is documentation out ther but this can get confusing so sometimes its easier to just take over an AI bus which is already setup. The camera views are great you got a large selection of views both internal and externally. You drive the first ever articulated bus in the OMSI history, the MAN NG272 and can explore the new omnibus line 5 covering a total distance of 12 km from the subway station Ruhleben to the psychiatric clinic Spandau. Thanks to the newly added chronology function you´ll not only be able to drive through Spandau in 1986, but also to relive the changes taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994.

    OMSI 2 was really the time of release full of bugs. Now, about 2 years later, the game in version 2.1.x. Around 99% the bugs are fixed and for other issues the forum for everyone is open. The game is currently playable in any case.
    The variety of mods to expand the gaming experience allowed.

    PS: It is unfortunate that the previous speakers do not update their review. Pure laziness!

    OMSI 2 is a good game, yet quite slow, probably due to an old game engine and the use of too many different windows on top of each other. It is also quite buggy and glitchy. Note that if it does not responding, just WAIT, because it would be loading. It is highly realistic and open-source meaning that you can get mods for it, most mods are cross compatible, as advertised, but some aren'tOMSI 2 is a good game, yet quite slow, probably due to an old game engine and the use of too many different windows on top of each other. It is also quite buggy and glitchy. Note that if it does not responding, just WAIT, because it would be loading. It is highly realistic and open-source meaning that you can get mods for it, most mods are cross compatible, as advertised, but some aren't due to the change of root of some files in the game. The physics are amazing. Although it is a good game, it doesn't offer a lot of improvements from the old game. There were 3 MAJOR changes: a ui overhaul (no, NOT game engine), an update of Berlin Spandau (the main game map) and articulated physics.
    My marks are split out like this:
    Good game and very realistic: 10
    Buggy, glitchy and old game engine: -2
    Not many changes: -1
    Open-Source: +1
    giving my total a solid 8. I really recommend this game if you have the patience of waiting, love modding and realism!    … Expand

And a lot of them.From Not Responding to jumps of frame rates even if i have a good pc,crazy AI,and sometimes AI people complaining about my bad driving even i haven't drive bad(my turnings are very smooth).There is also other bugs which rarely happened,but i can't remember them. The simulator is itself good,but it would be better if they fixed all of bugs that you can find in game.… Expand

    Omsi 2 is the wonder of simulation and one of the most realistic games of all time. Apart from poor optimization and lack of updates, Omsi manages to do the thing that other bus simulation titles fail to do - this game makes you feel like the real driver, of a real bus, in the real world, that isn't just some glossy RTX graphics.

Apart from poor optimization and lack of updates, Omsi manages to do the thing that other bus simulation titles fail to do - this game makes you feel like the real driver, of a real bus, in the real world, that isn't just some glossy RTX graphics. This game features a dedicated community, the best mouse driving controls of all the world's games and everything works, every button is pressable - just like in real life. Even though the optimization is tragic and the graphics are a bit outdated, the game doesn't stutter, lag and overheat your PC nearly as much the glossy simulation games, like Bus Simulator 18, a game that had great possibility but has been ruined by the fictional unrealism and simplicism that was made to tailor the game to beginners. Omsi features realistic looking roads, road conditions, situations and very high, yet very realistic customisability, such as the weather options. Though the developing is bad, and you must mod or buy DLCs to reach a level anywhere near the game's true possibilities. I'm hoping that, soon, a true successor that deserves to be called THE Omsi 3 is going to be released anytime soon, though I'm sure that Bus Simulator 21 isn't just going to be it. I understand that some people might dislike Omsi 2, but only the REAL bus and simulation enthusiasts are going to appreciate it to its fullest.… Expand

    A bus without the validator. OMSI 2 is full of bugs and glitches. Only patience allows you to enjoy the game.
