Update 5: Serviceupdate BETA for Tourist Bus Simulator

    DLC MAN Lion's Intercity
    • The flickering of the window glass has been fixed


    DLC BB40
    • The flickering of the window glass has been fixed



    I checked minibu BB 40 and MAN LION INTERCITY have a correct image without flashing light in the glass. - I confirm TML STUDIOS great work also gravity seems correct :):thumbup:

    good menu, controller detection, BB 40 the door opens and closes properly :thumbup:

    the king contrast option has been added is correct :)

    one may have a small note that the game performance is not perfect but it is updated with every update so good update and thank you TML STUDIOS. :):thumbup:

    I was very frustrated when I turned on the MAN Intercity headlights. I switched buses at the game because I like to drive at night and it was impossible. I hope my can play again with him now. :)


    The menu arrangement was something I was thinking about in the last few days when I was setting up the keyboard. I thought it could improve the organization, I need to see how it looked in this beta.


    Optimization is always welcome, especially on my PC where I feel the impact of performace. Any improvement is welcome. ;)


    I was forgetting the current version 5 (public) I noticed a considerable performance loss compared to the previous version 4.

    In several moments I have sudden drops of pictures and I have small crashes, this greatly hinders the game. ;(?(

    Hi! We did a little hotfix for those crashes during the game, they should be fixed now.

    Please note: we are still working on the crashes at the beginning of the game. Two different things!

    The vibrations on the ground in the vehicle painting shop occur.


    20191216204731_1.jpg

    The visual error on the wheels occurs in this area.


    20191216223631_1.jpg


    The car is not sliding downhill. Engine running, defying gravity. ^^

    The interior of this garage should be redesigned and an office should be built next to it. That way we can run the company here. Options should also be provided to enlarge the existing parent company building and garage.



    1) I always have to travel fast on my chosen route. It would be better to start directly at the starting point of the route. As in FBS.:saint:


    2) I can't assign drivers directly to the routes I choose. This is a very annoying problem. I should be able to assign the drivers to the route I chose directly. When I want, I'm already driving the route myself. Also, when I buy two buses, I can't see the buses side by side in the main center. The bus used by the driver disappears. It would be nice to see the buses I own and even all my employees physically. It would be a nice option to see my employees in my office. :saint:

    3) FPS is lower than FBS, especially in city centers. I have to save the game all the time because it crashes.

    4) The bends are very nice and overall the game is more fun than FBS but needs to be constantly improved. It is a game that is really open to development.

    5) The GPS screen should be more detailed as in FBS. Different colors can be used as differences.

    6) In particular, we have to see all the buses we buy physically next to each other when they are not working. We should also be able to see all our employees in areas such as offices and garages. Landing and boarding of passengers can be a bit faster. Sometimes passengers interfere with each other. It is very nice to see pedestrians walking on the road. I know it's a lot of work, but it would be nice to see shops with really interior design. Maybe we can have a physical store where we can have coffee in the future.



    I congratulate you. really nice game. After the crash and FPS problem is solved, you should work completely innovation-oriented. I've given you a few suggestions and in time it will continue. :saint:<3

    it's raining under the bridge

    Passenger monitors do not work

    The sea may seem more realistic. It has a simple view.


    It would be nice to see other buses in traffic.


    it would be more realistic if the dirty surface of the bus turned into a clean surface when it rained. Then the wheel and bus body may become dirty on muddy roads. After the rain the muddy roads become a nice detail.


    At the beginning of the game we are given 2 cars. It would be nice to personalize these tools with in-game money. In addition, it would be enjoyable for us to buy different vehicles from a car dealer. In this way you can find sponsors to the game. Sure, if you want.


    No radio in the car. Can be added as innovation.

    At night advertising signs are very dark, lighting can be added. Why don't you get real company ads for the advertising signs ? For example, you can advertise Flixbus. :/

    It would be nice to see real workers working in the garage. Also, when the vehicle breaks down, I'm going to repair it with the service vehicle, but only the Man Lions bus appears. I can't see the buses I own. All buses must be added to the crash site.

    sometimes a darkening of the game in the night view is experienced. Also the weather doesn't darken in time. At 20.00, the night view is still not activated and the sun does not disappear completely.


    20191219174456_1.jpg


    Passengers are experiencing problems in the landing and boarding.


    20191219171354_1.jpg


    I can only pick one bus. I want to see all the buses physically side by side.:(


    20191219170336_1.jpg


    Wheels do not come into full contact with the ground. And there's no dust cloud on dirt roads.

    He disappears when we get close to the mirror.

    strange object in the air.

    It would be nice to win XP on the drivers' trips. We earn a fee from our driver's sightseeing tours, but we can not earn XP. Level is a nice feature to jump. This is the case in many games.



    In order to use skill points, more features must be added to the game. When we use our skill points for fast travel, a fast selection point is allowed outside the bus stops, but we can only select the bus stops when selecting a fast travel point. That's why our talent points can be wasted. This should be solved.


    The FPS is quite low, especially in the city. The sea should look more detailed and with accurate color tones. It would be nice to see the moonlight over the sea. Physically, I want to see my employees and all my buses side by side.

    The beach parking glitch still occurs, I started a shuttle trip to Acques Verde and when I stop at the bus stop, my passengers won't get off the bus, I don't know what to do.

    I can confirm that: I cannot do any trip to Aguas Verdes because there is no bus stop where the passengers can get off.
