OMSI 2 News

[p]OMSI 2 – Berlin Line 186 – WIP Images from Steglitzer Kreisel[/p][p]The work on the assets required for the upcoming OMSI Berlin Line 186 add-on is nearing completion, while the beta testing is already in full swing.[/p][p]A particular highlight of the new Berlin map is the Steglitzer Kreisel, with its unique structural and traffic-related features. Today, we’re sharing the first images from ongoing development, showcasing the exterior of this iconic structure.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The high-rise on Schloßstraße in the Berlin district of Steglitz has shaped the cityscape since the late 1960s. At around 120 meters tall, it is one of the most recognizable buildings in southwestern Berlin and will be an unmistakable feature in the add-on.[/p][p]Recreating it presented the development team with significant challenges.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]In addition to the characteristic high-rise structure with its entrances, podium, and retail spaces, the traffic-specific peculiarity had to be faithfully reproduced: selected bus lines drive directly into the building, loop around in a closed circuit, and start their next route from there.[/p][p]Such a concept is rare worldwide and can only be found in a few major cities, such as Taipei, Toronto, or Cincinnati. This uniqueness makes the Steglitzer Kreisel a special experience for OMSI players.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The real-world condition of the building has also been considered. Since 2015, the tower has been undergoing extensive renovation, with scaffolding and construction tarps shaping its appearance. This authentic detail is deliberately reflected in the add-on, ensuring high recognition for those familiar with the area.[/p][p]The lower building complex houses numerous shops and a hotel, all recreated with attention to detail, adding extra atmosphere to the area.[/p][p]The images shown are from the ongoing development (Work in Progress). Details may still change before release.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]In one of the upcoming news updates, we will also give you a look inside the building, which is currently under intensive development.[/p][p]We are excited to hear your feedback on this unique building of Line 186.[/p][p]It won’t be long until you can drive through the Steglitzer Kreisel yourself, though we cannot announce an exact release date yet.[/p][p]To make sure you don’t miss any news, follow us on Facebook, check our website regularly, or subscribe to our Telegram channel to be notified as soon as a new update is released.[/p]

[h3]Authentic Big City Traffic with New AI Vehicles[/h3][p][/p][p]A realistic metropolis is defined not only by its streets and routes, but by the traffic that shapes it every day. For the upcoming OMSI Berlin Line 186 map, special attention has been given to creating a believable and lively city atmosphere — including specially customized AI vehicles.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Berlin stands for diversity, and this is reflected in its road traffic. In addition to the standard OMSI vehicles, Line 186 features numerous custom-integrated AI vehicles that enhance the authentic Berlin look and feel. While they are not drivable, they create a dense and realistic traffic environment in the background.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]These include vehicles from the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe for operations and security, regional emergency vehicles from fire and police services, as well as various locally themed commercial vehicles. You’ll also encounter trailers with individual advertising and special municipal cleaning vehicles throughout the city. New civilian vehicles further strengthen the characteristic urban atmosphere.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]The result is a vibrant traffic flow that naturally embeds Line 186 into everyday Berlin life, enriching every drive with added immersion.[/p][p]
The map is currently in beta testing, and a specific release date has not yet been announced. More insights into the route itself will follow soon.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]To stay up to date, follow us on Facebook, visit our website regularly, or subscribe to our Telegram channel for direct updates.[/p]
