Bus Driver Simulator News

We present you our new game, Fly Corp, for PCs and mobile devices! It is a minimalistic transport strategy about planes.



The game is being actively developed, but you can try the demo version for PCs right now for free!

Despite the quite minimalistic look of the game, we've been doing our best to make the gameplay deep and involving while keeping the controls simple and easy to use.

[h3]So, what this game is?[/h3]
You're about to develop your own airline transport network in various cities and countries by creating routes, buying new planes, upgrading airports and airplanes. The game features an advanced passenger flow system. All cities are real, and their population corresponds with reality. The more the population is, the higher is the number of people who want to fly somewhere. Every passenger has their destination point and, if no direct route is available, he would fly with changes.



There are several game modes now.
Your task in Unlock all Countries mode is to unlock all the countries of the world by buying them for in-game money and to cover the whole planet with your network. You'll have to unlock a new country every 6 minutes in order not to loose. In Challenges mode, different scenarios with pre-set conditions and targets are waiting for you.



Try the demo on Steam for free right now! Also, don't forget to add the game to your Wishlist on Steam and join our social network groups so that you won't miss any news!

The full version is planned to be released in a few months.



P.S. The work on Bus Driver Simulator, Bus World and Metro Simulator has been going as it did before. Fly Corp is worked on by a small separate mini-department, which is not connected to simulation games. It means that you don't need to care about updates of your favorite games - they will release just like usual, and Fly Corp development isn't a problem for that.

[h2]A new patch is here![/h2]
What's changed:
- Added support for pedals that report values from -1 to 1 instead of 0 to 1. This is now controlled by a checkbox in Settings.
- Re-worked the system which controls RPM value. Now sound and rev counter give a better idea of a moment in which you need to shift.
- Fixed a bug sometimes causing bus to move when it shouldn't.
- Fixed a bug causing throttle to lock up.
- Other minor fixes.

[h3]It happened! Disc versions of Bus Driver Simulator are here![/h3]

Recently, Bus Driver Simulator has been released on discs for PS4 and PC for some commercial networks over Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Now our partners from Iridium Media Group are preparing for their launch in Great Britain and USA.



As this is our first game to be released on discs, we're experiencing very good feelings because we managed to reach the required quality level for such a release. Of course, we'd like to say a big thank you to our partners who saw a potential in our project and made Bus Driver Simulator on such a number of platforms possible!

P.S. Right now, these versions are not sold in other countries, including Russia. But, the list of countries may become larger over time.

Version 6.7 is available since March 14!

[h2]All maps:[/h2]
- Worked a lot on optimizing RAM usage regarding bus textures. It means that now the game should consume less RAM due to better texture streaming.
