We know you've been waiting so long for this release. Now, before the New Year and Christmas, you can rate the scale of this add-on!

Actually, Murom Suburbs is a big set of updates and improvements, which can only be seen in this DLC, but first things first.

[h2]A large beautiful map[/h2]
We recreated the huge area consisting of more than ten villages, urban part, interchanges, fields and forests, picturesque places. The size of the map impresses as it's bigger than Serpukhov and Cologne put together! In so doing, we managed to maintain better level of graphics than before by using modern tools and technologies. The graphics is an important part of any project as it helps us to get immersed into the game atmosphere.



[h2]Routes and garages[/h2]
On this map, you can already try 23 different routes and get to 5 garages located in different places. If we put number of routes in Serpukhov and Cologne, we'll get exactly 23, meaning that number of routes in the game is now doubled! Of course, there are very long routes, which are popular among local people. There are more than 50 bus stops on the map.



[h2]Traffic[/h2]
We implemented a whole new system of headlamps and turn signals for traffic, and position lights are now functioning. This system will only work in Murom, so you can keep both systems in one game.
What's also important is that in Russian outback you'll get to see new transport, which is exclusive for this map.



[h2]Optimization[/h2]
We spent a lot of time on optimizing the map, so we managed to get high FPS and decent RAM consumption on this map despite high detail level and size of the map.



Murom Suburbs is a full-size add-on, which changes the feeling of the game by transferring the emphasis from urban routes to long drives in the countryside.

Finally, one more thing: several updates for this DLC are coming soon! Murom Suburbs will get more scenarios. For example, in one of them your mission will be to deliver bags full of potatoes to a facility. You've never seen such things in a bus simulator!

Size of Murom Suburbs

We're presenting you the size of Murom Suburbs map. It will be released very soon, so it's the best time to take a look at the place where you're going to drive around.
The map is large, with more than 50 stops and about 10 villages. There are also some gravel roads (we advice to wait for Bus World's release for more gravel roads - there will be plenty of them!)
The urban part is very small, and countryside views are a major part of the map.

About other improvements in Murom Suburbs DLC

Murom Suburbs will be more than just a DLC adding a new map.
We decided to bring some features from Bus World there. The most noticeable one is new traffic system. It works a lot better, and wheels of traffic cars turn in corresponding direction (even this was simplified below), the speed is now higher (do you remember how slow the cars were in the city?), they have their position lamps on, and lights and turn signals look better.



Also, we added several cars, which you can see on these screenshots (soviet numbers are to be replaced soon).
Because of technical difficulties, these changes will only affect this map; Serpukhov and Cologne will remain unchanged.



We're almost referring to Murom Suburbs as a separate game, because it feels different, and so far this is the biggest update Bus Driver Simulator has ever seen.
