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

Plans change. Just look back to the planned post-release updates of the beta/demo which were stated by Rhys but later cancelled. The fact is licensing hasn't yet been obtained and thus no agreement has yet been made with Heatherwick Studios, who may have an influence on the plans for release. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the NRM/SRM released as a standalone Addon in order to simplify the licensing process.

My point? Just wait and see how things pan out.
My point...listen to Rhys. Saying that even though Rhys has said it, may not come true is just adding to the confusion. Simple thing, if Rhys says it, take it to be true. If he then later changes this, it is for him to explain to people. This whole situation with different information sources is confusing enough as it is, if you want to believe that than fine, but don't start making things more confusing for other people :)

The NRM people are hurting for, it will surface as a payware, but if anyone is up for helping me model wise (without any put me down criticism lol) I'll gladly do a freeware one, we have umpteen Citaros, MAN and Ikarus' why not umpteen NRMs / SRMs

Scripting functions like Blinds, Hanover etc, will have to be agreed before use etc but I have a base model already which needs a shape up - If not, then i'll leave it up to the LDN Team.

When you say it will surface as payware Ryhs has already siad it will be added in at no extra cost for an update.

Sorry for asking such a simple question to you guys, but what does SRM stand for? I know that NRM is New Routemaster but what is SRM?
Son-of-Routemaster. It's a two doored version of the NRM on a B5LH chassis. It shares many body parts from the NRM and Gemini 3 respectively, with only 24 unique components. Only 6 examples have been made and can be found on London Sovereign Routes 13 and 183

The 183 goes right pass my house

I believe this is the video @Tyrique Fearon I also believe he answers your other question at 1:29:


Many thanks for that ;)

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is there going to be a free NRM/SRM for people that can't buy the London addon? I really want to get the London addon when it comes out, but I don't have any money :(
