Great map. I hope the person under me knows those problems are due to Omsi not the map.

Now, to be fair, I am german therefore I'm not very familiar with left-hand driving which doesn't help me with the Lane width at all, but the thing that broke the straw for me is the following: 1. the "Invisible" obstacles that are Littered all over the map or so it seems, I found out that those are Apparently Cars because I disabled the Collisions for those in the settings and then it was smooth sailing. 2. the Menu popup loading screens, feels like a 2018 throwback which is not positive at all. 3. The leftover particles that hover over the leftmost lane on Pacific highway. 4. the Coding of the stops. it was VERY confusing why there were FOUR 1440 target codes in the selection. 5. The lanes are just WAY too small for efficient driving, at least for me, it can't be that the lane is just Barely as wide as the bus, simulation or not, that is not very fun at all (and I own London, so tight roads are a lefthand drive thing in OMSI or so it seams which it shouldn't be IMO). 6. This might be personal, BUT I play with 3 monitors in NVIDIA Surround mode, and the Lefthand Mirror isn't always active which as a guy who is only Righthand driving most of the time is very difficult and does pair with the thing before. And the most annoying thing, 3 out of 4 busses are Poorly made, 2 even have only Chinese characters for the on-bus monitors (Ibis) which I had to use Google Translator to even remotely understand what they wanted from me, Then there is the interior, which is on those 3 busses not even existing, only some buttons with Green, Red or Yellow patches. overall, the Scenery, what I saw over the 2hrs I drove on the map, is pretty cool, but I had so many problems that I couldn't enjoy it once. Sad that it had so many problems, but great potential.

Thanks for reading,

Excellent Map! I live in Australia, I've been to the places in the game and it's really accurate. Best map in omsi 2! For those wondering how to get the Brookvale and forest depot. Go to their face book page and scroll down a little and you should see the update and a link to the update.

All I can say is wow about this map. I can't believe it's taken me so long to come across it but I'm sure glad I did. I guess my reluctance to stray from UK maps was a factor also.

Simply put this map is phenomenal. It is by far and away the best map in Omsi 2 and that includes payware too. As soon as I started driving it was a pure delight. The variety is amazing, you want city centre driving, you got it, residential, you got it, rural, coastal, in fact it's the most diverse map I've driven.

It was so good that I had to check Google Maps to see how accurate it was and was amazed at how well it simulates the area. The attention to detail is amazing, the street signs, shops, roadsigns, buildings are more or less spot on

With over 50 routes to drive there is so much to do and the guy or guys who made this deserve m massive amount of credit as I for one really appreciate their efforts.

Sure it's not perfect, I get a few pauses whilst it loads tiles which is annoying but I guess that is to be expected for such a massive map and it took me a while to fathom out how to install and work out how to set up a route but it's not really that difficult.

I understand that phase 4 is in development and I cannot wait to try that out too.

In summary....AMAZING.

This is a pretty good map, however:
The road texture quality is a bit too low for the more modern PCs out there like my new Medion/Lenovo PC which cost me £400 from ALDI
More of a critique of Sydney BUT: the roads are TOO Wide, almost no traffic calming which is no fun, traffic lights stay red for far too long, too many routes overlap each other, the road signs look like they took the wost parts of the American MUTCD designs and the UK TSRGD which basically means THEY'RE UGLY
Some of the route helpers need improvement as it's too easy to get lost or miss a turn
There aren't many pedestrians or parked cars some of which don't have the height adjusted properly in the map editor so they clip through the road surface
some of the bounding boxes don't seem right or I'm driving too close to the road signs and frequently hit them so I just leave collisions off
The road textures clearly have cracks BUT this is not simulated with a .bmp.surf file
There is a bug with the modified Wright Gemni 1 Eclipse whereby passengers will only exit the bus when the door is closed but in the original model it is when the door is OPEN as it should be and the special ticket that sits in cab door doesn't move when the door is opened like what the $5, $2, $1, 50¢, 20¢ note/coin dispenser does
The card reader texture of the Octopus card reader in GX7767 Studios' ADL Enviro200 still shows the "Octopus" card by default instead of the Opal card which is a shame since the other textures are modified...

Good map, but why can't i drive routes like the 145 and 136 etc? They don't appear in any of the timetables when you go to select one, but I have seen others on youtube drive these routes.

Really nice map, a variety of routes in one of the most scenic places I've driven in OMSI. 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely phenomenal map, the accuracy of this map is 10/10 I can follow the routes exactly on google street view. It has accurately displayed Manly and the greater Sydney area and its beauty as well as some of its more ugly sides. I enjoy driving it every single time and always find something new I haven't seen before and the pure amount of routes included keeps it fresh. The only complaint I have is that in some areas it does drop frames pretty heavily but only for a short amount of time. 10/10 - Hope to see more.

Fantastic Work! The years of effort put in clearly shows! Great work to everyone involved. I do however, still have an issue with (what I'm assuming are) invisible cars, damn teenagers and their classified military grade invisible paint!

Only just got this and the amount of work gone into it is awesome and I thank you as a fellow aussie the only issue I have which I think is to do with the actual bus is the polygon 400 mmc does not bring up the destination just the route number no matter which hof file I use and in bcs it does not have desto's in the ibis and desto code list if I manually input the desto on the bus it appears briefly then disappears leaving just the route number is there a fix or a problem with bcs and the bus itself?

7 Years of building is more than proven in this. Definitely a must have for OMSI. It's that good I feel as though I'm there!

Only thing letting this down is the fact you can't download the roadmap as the editor runs out of memory. Would it be possible to upload a roadmap for omni navigation?

So nothing is letting the map down now. I have managed to finish all 782 tiles and Manly ACT THREE is now available in its entirety on OmniNavigation. Just reload and it should be there.

Map is great - Missing the Roadmap, so i can't use Omninavigation. Can't create the roadmap myself, as the editor crashes while creating it (out of memory).

So if anyone has a roadmap for omninavigation, i would appreciate it, if that could be shared. - This also would allow the map to be used with the Buscompany Simulator/Dispatching Sim.

Thanks.
After a number of months or working around essential work, I have managed to finish all 782 tiles and Manly ACT THREE is now available in its entirety on OmniNavigation. Just reload and it should be there.

Love the Map but there is one thing i dont like which is when it comes to setting the dest with numbers and not the Place name

Glad to hear you like the map. Bus routes on the Northern Beaches of Sydney are intertwined. In the case of destinations like Manly (131, 132, L32, E35, E36, 140, 141, E41, 142, 143, 144, E50, 151, 155, 156, 159, 169, 170, E70, E71) or Wynyard (many) there are numerous routes that go there from all sorts of places.
This the the reason for the codes. That and the fact that some route numbers may start and finish at various places along a certain route.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for making and sharing this. A massive piece of work that really captures the look and feel of this northern area of Sydney.

Makes it worth playing OMSI again :)

I love this map because I live in the area the map is based in but the only thing to complain about is during the Dee Why part 159 route the scenery is really bad and for all those wanting updates this is their facebook https://www.facebook.com/omsimanly/posts/ and this is the place to download 1.1 https://mega.nz/?fbclid=IwAR0G0AR7GRw2CR0WiLqFo_rSMJL7JNXlS1Rq8ie0EEiECCfTkpTtVgVxulQ#F!QpFF0YoQ!ac1AovBs9u1RdzQwNVUt5Q

Thanks for the review mate. We first made the 159 in ACT ONE so it probably needs a revisit ;)
We all know that it is basically a matter of picking from about 10 different unit block types to get it more authentic.

I really enjoy this map, being that I am an Australian myself, all signs are very accurate. My only issue is, some red lights don't work, especially on Military Road past Spit Road Junction. and AI is not very responsive, they pull out and just go through red lights. (yes collision is turned off) But like as in all maps I try to play to the utmost realism available. I understand of course that this is a gigantic map, almost 924 tiles, and I thought Great Grundorf 2 and X10 Berlin had a lot of tiles. Overall this is a great map, looking forward to receiving journals for Brookvale Depot :)

Glad you are enjoying the map. Traffic lights should be fixed in Version 1.1 which has just been released.

Good map, I created the roadmap for myself for omninavigation and can relax and enjoy driving, learnt the 257 and M30 already, M30 id say is the easiest the Sydney opera house, the bridge into Sydney is great.

Hopefully someone can repaint the Masterdeck buses with the NSW logos. Only thing is entering 571 on the Ziel doesn’t work but using the route / destination box and doing it manually does work.

Hopefully you are getting a better experience now that you have overwirrten your old files.
As for repaints, there is nothing stopping you from making them for yourself and sharing them with us.
