Bus Driver Simulator 2019 has just been released!
Bus Driver Simulator 2019 has just been released from Early Access!
This update features a lot of changes, big and little.
Cologne has been expanded and is almost two times bigger than before! You can see both wide streets with tram ways and silent neighborhoods there.
Since Cologne map is now bigger, we added a possibility to drive on it in Career Mode. Your progress is common for Serpukhov and Cologne, so you won't have to start it over. Also, new routes are here. Check them out on any available bus!
So we reworked passenger system once more (not for the last time actually). Now passengers are better in finding their way to the bus. Also,
- They no longer go through bug while walking in;
- Updated algorithm of selection of free place to sit.
- Now passengers choose the place to sit more randomly.
- Fixed a bug that caused passengers not to wait other passengers to exit the bus.
- Tried to fix problem which caused passengers' models to go through the bus.
Of course, pedestrians and traffic also got some updates. Another list of fixes and enhanced algorithms of their behavior made the game even more realistic:
- Pedestrians now can go around the corners of buildings much better.
- Fixed a Legendary bug which caused one car to ride on top of another one.
- Improved European Minibus Model (traffic version), so it's now more detailed.
- Tried to fix pedestrians pushing player's bus.
- Now traffic is also present near Bus Station in Serpukhov.
- Improved cornering for traffic on some crossroads.
- Improved circular movement on Lenin Square in Serpukhov.
- Now pedestrians cross the streets of Cologne faster.
- Tried to fix fines for driving on yellow light.
- Fixed problem with mechanical gearbox on steering wheels.
- Now buses have different amount of gears. It corresponds to the one in real life.
- Fixed bug when free camera placed behind the bus could lift itself up.
- Added Preview SimTools support. A detailed post will be released when full support will be implemented.
- Added Logitech G25 Preset.
- Lowered ride height for European Bus.
- Fixed bug with "Open" (and other) texts when hovering mouse over buttons, doors etc.
- Added missing translations for French.
- Added missing translations for Chinese.
- Added missing translations for Korean.
- Added missing translations for Italian.
- Added missing translations for German.
- Added missing translations for Czech.
- Improved some phrases in Russian and English.
- Fixed long loading of Scenarios selection UI.
- Widened some panels in order to use more screen space.
- Fixed schedule showing "24" instead of "0".
- Fixed loading of some buildings.
- Optimized some more textures.
- Added new loading screens.
- Other minor fixes.
