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

They won’t do that because i think it is based in 2015 so they would only have announcements from that year. It would be nice if they were updated frequently though!
This is based on (the covered part of) London in 2018 as mentioned by Rhys and in 2015 certain routes would of still not have been operated by (the new) Routemasters (i.e. Route 3) and routes such as the 45 also use to run to Kings Cross prior to another (stupid) curtailment by TFL to Elephant and Castle. Furthermore, there were no EvoSeti buses running in London prior to 2016

For anyone that's interested. Looks like the description for add-on London on the Aerosoft store has been updated if you wanted to see a more in-depth description of the upcoming add-on.

Yes, I've noticed that too. The reason is because the old description was inaccurate judging by the trailer, so I submitted a ticket to Aerosoft customer support or whatever it was saying that it may need updating. I got a short reply yesterday saying that the project manager would be informed. I hope what I did has helped everyone. :)

PS: This was the reply. Obviously I haven't included the support guy's name:

Thank you for that information, I will ask the project manager to look at that.



With friendly greetings,

Where are the sound files. I'm actually so sorry that i ask alot. I'm just terrible at installing mods lmao Also how do i like actually change the sound files?
go to the bus file and youll see a model texture script and SOUND folders open the sound folder and youll find them there
and to change the sounds go to the CFG files and edit whatever you want but make sure you state where the sound file is correctly or else you wont hear them as the game wont know what sounds to play

London as a piece of DLC is gonna be a massive hit for the OMSI community and a feature on magazine is only the start of it being a hit.

Well done to @Rhys for achieving what people thought wouldn't be possible whilst going private for a year which has clearly helped in the development of London.

Also, a massive shoutout to @Road-hog123 @whistlehead and the other contributors to the London add-on for putting in their part into this great piece of DLC content.
