  • Hi Team,


    Kudos to the team for a wonderful DLC and update.


    Please check the attached screenshot, not sure it was done on purpose or a BUG (or a known issue), Setra coach left side rear fog lamp seems to be more brighter than the right side lamp.


    One suggestion from my end would be on High beam light (light intensity is not a problem), but the light throw is a problem, seems there is a less throughput on road (in terms of distance covering).


    Thanks,
    Ajith

  • I've just purchased both the Netherlands and Belgium for the ultimate Benelux experience but unfortunately I had to cut my journey short because of a steering issue. :(


    I cannot disable the auto center steering wheel option in this latest update. What I mean is that the option is on, regardless whether I turn it off or on in the game settings. It's an essential feature for me because it really makes it easier to drive with a keyboard imo, so I hope it'll be fixed!


    I have also managed to encounter egudek257 's problem of not being able to walk up the stairs onto the MAN Lion's Coach 3rd Gen (C2). I had to jump my way through to the driver's seat which was very interesting. The C3 and the standard variant don't have this issue.


    Nonetheless, it's nice to see a new update for Fernbus, especially the new lighting and physics! :)

  • Hi TM & Team,


    Kindly look into the attached images for the HIGH beam lights of the coach.

    Its very hard to drive at dark nights (or night journey is very difficult). The light intensity is good (its brighter), but the light throw distance is too low and can't predict or see road properly from a distance especially during speeds more than 70 kmph.

    Please have a look onto the images attached probably might feel the distance covered by the high beam is not normal (not practical).

  • Ajith I have already made this suggestion. But it is really impossible to drive at night, because you can see absolutely nothing.

    it should

    1 / on the mirrors a softer color like this, it was daytime.

    2 / instead of darkening the night, you should put a little shine to see a little better on the road.

    3 / dashboard, a little brighter clear clear in order to see the dashboard better.

    this should be done on the next beta of fernbus.

    if it goes perfectly and we can see better at night.

    the same should be done in the tourist bus

    I wanted to repeat his 3 points there, which is very important.

    Thank you

  • Night is night and dark when you are out of the city lights, if there is no full moon shining with open sky, it really makes a dark trip. And plus, dashboard also becomes dark, i know because i did such trip many times with my car either and i was not able to see something so clear except illuminated buttons. I didn't try the new updated light but only problem was about vehicle head light distances at night. Nothing was seen truly and especially there was one road texture, it was almost closed totally.


    And about this update and vehicle physics... I just loved it, it felt so good to drive and i think you got so close to the real coach physics. And optimisation also improved so good. I am also so happy to see raindrops back but i wish rain would be lighter in general :)) Thanks TML, so good and great update.


    From TML Studio talks, i felt that you will not do new maps etc after Denmark, Czechia and Poland (To cover all Germany-neighbours), but i hope that's not true feeling :)

  • From TML Studio talks, i felt that you will not do new maps etc after Denmark, Czechia and Poland (To cover all Germany-neighbours), but i hope that's not true feeling :)


    I doubt that's true. I think that adding all of Germany's neighbouring countries is just a priority before implementing any further countries, which is just a logical order of expansions. For example, you can't really drive to the Baltic states without driving through Poland :) Besides that, new map DLCs are a win-win situation for both the developers and players.

  • Dear TML Team,


    Please take care of the Coach High beam headlight issue please !

    Its a request, please do correct them in the upcoming update.

    Literally its very hard to drive on road during nights.


    Thanks.

  • I finally made a night drive after new update (I never use the Beta tests). These are my observastions about the lighting:


    1. Vehicle (Man Lion's Coach New Version) headlights seemed quite good and fixed even on the road texture i mentioned before.


    2. However, full beam (long distance) lights has a problem this time. It seems that it comes from one source. Second; it illuminates just in front of the bus almost same with head lights, it should illuminate far away, it illuminates a lot instead of spreading the light. (Check the screenshot)


    3. AI Headlights shows up so late, it was fixed before but it seems they returned how they were before. We should see their lights (both in mirror and coming from opposite direction) earlier and longer distance.


    4. There should be reflections of the turning indicator lights and bus' side led lights on ground but we cannot see these.


    These are the my observations from the night driving. Seems so much better than before but still there are things to be fixed. Thanks again for the great update.20210522234745_1.jpg
