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

I think there's a few things that people could do with taking on board now that we're so close to the release...
  • Steam will cope. It seems to be dealing fine with Cyberpunk 2077, and my guess is that its slightly more popular than a DLC for a bus sim.
  • Several hundred OMSI players are going to buy the DLC within the first few hours of release, and my bets are that the Discord and Forum pages will be filled with random posts and pictures. Spice things up, take an interesting and unusual picture (150 photos of an NRM on the 3 isn't that exciting).
  • Install the 4GB patch. Its going to be needed.
  • RTFM (Read the flipping manual).
  • Be aware that every download uploaded here has to be checked by a Downloads Moderator. Don't try and flood the download center with random, poorly made, rushed downloads, as not only will no-one download them, but its a massive time sink for the guys and girls behind the scenes. Just be patient too if you're uploading something, it could take longer than usual for it to be approved.
I really hope everyone enjoys the add-on, and that it relieves the weeks worth of hype.
(And a big thank-you to the people running the forums and discord servers, for the endless amount of admin they'll inevitably deal with over the next few weeks :D)
Where can you install the 4GB Patch?
