Hello, I assume you will include other operators apart from arriva to make it more varied.Hello all, I'm starting to make a new map based in the Kent and Medway region.
I'm first going to start of with the North West section, where I'll start off with routes like Fastrack A and B. I'll first start off with the Dartford and Gravesend area then move on to the Medway towns.
Any suggestions on what routes I should add in the future or have any other ideas? Thanks.

Ok, thanks ( :Honestly, my advice to you is to settle in to making the routes you've already started. Map making is a long process, and it'll be a while before you'll be looking in to adding extra routes. Good luck
Adding onto what Whistlehead said, especially being the routes you've chosen you've got a lot of landmarks there with the Dartford Crossing and Bluewater alone. With the amount of time they spend on bus dedicated roads with the infrastructure they have there, anything beyond the A & B is looking well into the future. My advice would be aim small, the A is probably a decent sized route to begin with, you can always expand later on. Good luck with itHello all, I'm starting to make a new map based in the Kent and Medway region.

And yes I will consider adding more operatorsHello, I assume you will include other operators apart from arriva to make it more varied.

Red Route Buses - Which I just found out that I think shouldn't be on my Discovey Ticket map
I have handily already made a map of other operators of the area, and much beyond.
Here's a link:
It's probably out of date by now but there you go.Discovery Ticket Map
What I have worked may have taken a while and nobody expecting or wanting a map of this size but...fellowsfilm.com
thinking about spectras
In all seriousness, seriously considering giving this a shot, maybe even a version of this back in its full Belle Vue livery. I understand the... um, swirls (?) are bound to be a bit of a faff, but hey, operator's choice to keep the livery. Though some references of the rear would be nice - once again, nobody seems to be taking photos of the backs of Optare Spectras.
Aye, ta, will be using that in the future. Think I can kind of make out the old Belle Vue decals from the leftover sticker residue, so I'll see what I can do from there.Here's the back of it with Lords 2019/10/04 - Hull Fair - Dearingbuspix
It's perfectly possibly to make 1 hour + long routes in Omsi, however it's more the time it takes to create such routes, which is why we don't see them very often. If you do want to go ahead with the idea, I wish you the best of luck!I'm thinking to start creating a large real-life map on my local operator, Stagecoach Hants & Surrey. I only tend to recreate routes that lie within my area, as some others travel to Guildford, Alton and Woking (which I'm not willing to recreate). I wonder how big can an OMSI 2 route get, as some of the real-life routes may take up to an hour long on a one-way trip.
There is going to be a Routemaster with the Add-On London when that gets released, I'm not sure what an RT is though?i want to build either an rm or an rt but i dont know where to start and if anyone is allready doing these buses
One of these, think this was the RM's predecessorThere is going to be a Routemaster with the Add-On London when that gets released, I'm not sure what an RT is though?
That's going to be quite tricky to model, I think an independent creator made a London Country one a while ago but they are not intending it to become public as the bus has yet to operate with a conductor, something that in OMSI doesn't exist. Good luck trying to perfect it though!i want to build either an rm or an rt but i dont know where to start and if anyone is allready doing these buses
I'm new to the OMSI Map Editor and have started a project based on the town where I live and the surrounding areas as I thought it would be cool to bring it to OMSI but I don't know where to start as I have never made a map before
