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

Cheers for the info Rhys! Sorry for the late reply back, been busy looking back at some of my photos from London, as when I used to live there, you wouldn't be able to find a plain red bus in London, they'd either have stripes, waves, or lines on! (I even found a photo of an Arriva London Cowie Group ECW Olympian!)

No worries, and London has become very boring, livery-wise, since TfL introduced the 100% red rule in September 2011. The only exciting things nowadays are the NRM adverts and the older Go-Ahead vehicles that still bare the grey skirt. Apart from that, everything is rather bland, just with different operator logos and interiors.

When this used to be a thing.. | Northern Counties Countybus | Scania N113DRB Olympian | Palatine 1 | Stagecoach East London | S33 (J133 HMT) | Circular service 700 to Trafalgar Square via Westminster and Marble Arch

Another thing, I wonder how many people knew about Scania Palatine 1 Olympians existing?

Were those N113's possibly equipped with Voith transmissions? I know a lot of people would argue against it as there is no such combination in existence today other than ZF and a couple of preserved MCW's with Scania 2 speed transmissions.
