Maps Greater Manchester (5 Viewers)

{Update this post was updated with upto date images & Info 13/3/2020}

Hello, Fellow Bus Drivers/Omsi Veg

Myself and Josh and other developers are working on Greater Manchester the Main routes I will be trying to recreate into OMSI 2 is 571/572 which is a Great lever circular from Bolton interchange, I also will be working on the 500 bus route which is operated by vision bus I then intend to make the 575 diamond to Horwich which will bring in the 576 Arriva to Horwich, after this a big decision will be made if I make the 582 or the old 22 bus route from Bolton Bus Station - Stockport Bus Station ( it's 26 miles long and 2 hour route)

The map started off at Bolton Interchange including 125 to Chorley only, 500, 571/572, 575/(576).

Will this include different bus companies? Yes it will that can range from Diamond North West, Arriva, Vision Bus.

What year is the map set in? Well for those who like the older bus station I will include a modification to use that station or the new one. This allows people to do what they're happy with.

I aim to make this map quite a big map so over years it will become larger.
I may be looking for some help if you Inbox me I mainly am Looking for Realistic Buildings that could improve detail of the map and realism. Some buildings will be fictional placed due to time it takes to build them it is much quicker and this is mainly a personal project I'm willing to release when I'm done with it.

Release of this map is still yet Unknown but I will be keeping updates coming of the map this map may take a while to make as I do not get alot of freetime.
more information will be released soon

the 125 will be in the game at some point but will not continue to Preston only to Chorley due to limitations in the game

The map will be the whole of Greater Manchester once completed, but will be released in phases
greater manchester is massive, that sounds like a arm and a leg, wouldnt it be easier to tackle towns and maybe merge them one day?

Whilst I admire your map and it looks great, I do feel it is rather ambitious, as others have mentioned, try focusing on a few small routes first around Bolton, then expand from there, similar to what Mr Moose has done with Lincolnshire would be a good framework.

we are going to look at continuing what josh did by completing 575 then expanding the 362 so we can add 125, leigh is already in the game as well as other routes (will be said on release) so we might was well link everything that's in the game

Good to hear, less is more. And it keeps it interesting if you build upon what you have, but bare in mind OMSI’s limitations

Hello,

this is an update to what's going on with the map.

So we have linked Bolton to wigan Via the 575 we are planning to link leigh to wigan, Old Lords and Bolton, we are in the process of connecting Chorley to Bolton and wigan as well.

but progress will be a lot slower now as its just myself "atm", we do wish to get more help if anyone is happy to join us but we would like developers not Repainters to join us

i think that's it for now but i will try to keep you all informed

thank you

The progress is sounding amazing! and those screenshots look fab too 😁 coming from Leigh myself and traveling on buses all the time (I could probably drive most of the Leigh local routes with my eyes closed 🤣) I am absolutely thrilled that this is being worked on!! I only wish I could get the hang of the OMSI editor to help out 😅
