This product is now released and can be discussed at Other - [Official DLC] OMSI London

* Updated 9th December 2017.*
In order to ensure the London WIP thread is solely focused on the Work in Progress developments of London. It's been decided that it will be best to create a new thread for any questions that you may have regarding the features to be included in the add-on.

Prior to asking your questions, please ensure that this has not already been showcased in the WIP topic. Please also ensure that you READ this thread before commenting

Please Note: This thread is not the place to ask for the add-on's release date as I will disclose that once it's time to make it publicly known.

FAQ:
What buses are included in the DLC package?
- B5LH/Gemini 3
  • Citybus 200
  • Citybus 400
  • New Routemaster


What routes are included in the DLC package? (updated)


Do the buses come with an onboard iBus system?
Yes, it's currently being re-scripted to allow it to have a few more functions. These functions will be disclosed at a later date as it's not our top priority.

Can I become a beta tester for one of the vehicles/map?
No, we are not looking for any beta testers. We appreciate many of you are excited, but we also do expect many of you to respect our decision. All testers were selected by myself and my development team. This was done on a basis of people who are in the community who we can already trust, and not done on the basis of requests.

How much will add-on London cost?
Add-On London is currently expected to be priced at £24.99/27.95 Euros for the download version dependent on where you live, and £28-£30 for the boxed version depending on which site you purchase the add-on from.

Are there any plans for future vehicles post-London release?
Yes, there are plans for a number of vehicles which will be confirmed once development has started on those. The only confirmed vehicle is the Enviro400City, as discussed above.

Will the buses use the same rollband system as the current freeware London B9TL?
Road-hog123 has spent excessive time working on a brand new rollband script to replicate the Mckenna Brother's Powerblinds unit. All buses included in the add-on will feature its own unique powerblind set and does not replicate the example seen in the Volvo B9TL by AD156

These are the dangers of working on projects of such a large scale like this one (even in a team) and aiming to release them publicly. Especially considering what this project is (I don't think London has been recreated so accurately in a virtual environment since The Getaway series). I've been watching this topic for a while. As a fan of the addon myself, I understand peoples' frustration and have eagerness like the rest of you to actually see the routes featured in this addon in action, but while constant demand for updates from the developers' fan-base suggests enthusiasm, it is also not any aid at all to the developers themselves, as they are under pressure enough having to focus on the addon and get it done without people constantly asking for it.

Well, that's good, but what's the reason why I wonder. They won't refund you without a good valid reason, jus saying that's all.
Extract from email as follows Because of the increased development time of the OMSI 2 Add-On London we are obliged to cancel your order. If you have already paid the order we will of course refund your money as soon as possible.
More information about the release of the add-on will follow soon.
We hope for your understanding.

Ever the optimist.....

After nine years of development for RW/TS20xx, the second phase of Virtual District Line emerged, blinking in the daylight.........

No bells, no whistles, no fanfare - and best of all - no Boris-flippin'-Johnson!

It's brilliant!

Miracles do happen, and I'm sure that OMSI London will be equally splendid.

It all comes to he/she who waits..........................
