The Bus DLC Hamburg City - AI Bus news!

[p]We are continuously working on our popular Hamburg City DLC for The Bus.[/p][p][/p][p]Since it’s an add-on, some features depend on expansions to the main game – and one particularly exciting topic is the AI buses you will encounter along your routes.[/p][p]In the current beta version of The Bus, AI buses are now available for all Public Beta players in Berlin to test.
At the moment, however, this only applies to the main game with the Berlin bus lines – the Hamburg area has not yet been integrated.[/p][p][/p][p]Why AI buses in Hamburg still need to wait[/p][p]Currently, using AI buses on Hamburg lines leads to numerous issues:[/p]

• [p]AI bus drivers get stuck at objects they could otherwise avoid[/p]
• [p]Some turn incorrectly or take curves unnaturally[/p]
• [p]Certain paths are not used as expected[/p]

[p]Behind the scenes, adapting the AI buses requires extensive work: roadside objects, other AI vehicles, and special driving paths all need to be checked, changed, and optimised – and this for each bus individually.[/p][p]We are also currently working with a different editor version than in Berlin, which requires additional adjustments and unfortunately takes time.[/p][p][/p][p]Important note for the Public Beta[/p][p]In the current beta version of the main game, there are some route errors on the Hamburg map, such as missing road sections, absent curbs, and gaps or incorrect areas on pavements.
These problems are caused by the different versions of the main game and the add-on.[/p][p]Our recommendation: Do not play Hamburg City in the Public Beta at the moment to avoid these issues.[/p][p]Looking ahead[/p][p]Once the adjustments are complete, your virtual colleagues will automatically be running on Hamburg’s lines 6 and 17.
Intersecting lines will not be possible at first, but they are planned for a later main game update – and will then also be implemented in Hamburg.[/p][p][/p][p]Further information on the work on the virtual Hamburg map will follow soon.
Stay tuned – and until then, we hope you continue to enjoy your time in the northern German metropolis with The Bus![/p]
