Fernbus Coach Simulator: Your wishes and ideas

Zitat von Yannick [FR]

After playing now a long time with Fernbus, I'm allways loving it.
I've great hope that the sim will be enhanced further.

Now some ideas wich would help me often :
GPS (3D view) : fonts are very small, even when using zoom ; that would be helpful when not using the 2D GPS
TAB : after choosing the 2d panels, it would be better to hit only TAB taste again ( we have to click the screen first). Alternatively, it would be useful to have a taste wich hide/unhide all sellected 2panels/mirors.
IDEA in 3 D view : ability to click left MB, then select swith on dashboard ; using LMB again will again change the point of view (perhaps no easy to implement). I had this idea because after viewing the little Dashboard views, we are allways have to click in 3D view to have the ability to rotate the 3D POV again.
XP Ranking : could you do something to invalid the score of cheaters ? The best driver is ALAN SHERWOOD and he's not the first because of cheaters wich have only played a couple of hours.

At last I would hope that the Skyliner will have a lot success on Steam, so that we'll have others coaches in future.

Thanks a lot !

1. Pro
2. No, tab is more secure. It s fine how is now.
3. It s more complicate, we have now a lot more update to be done. It s not necceseary your ideea for now.
4. Yea, this is a fucking problem. Sry for my language.

• improved optimisation/performance in terms of FPS.
• Passengers walking inside/outside the coach when boarding, departing and AT BREAKS.
• AI improvements (which I can see you are working on very hard from the improvements done already)
• more passengers at the bus stops as having the bus full looks a lot better in the MAN Lions Coach Class C
  and probably the Double Decker which you are planning on releasing.
• other busses on the roads, and at bus stops with different repaints we put into the Repaints folder.
• new countries like Poland as FlixBus actually has routes going abroad.
• radio streams - which you're probably working on anyways.
• new busses! (especially the Setra)

Great ideas I support colleague @Dynek

As above

Hopefully the developers are still checking out this post

I agree, except #2 : for me it's annoying to have to click in the middle of screen after selection. TAB taste should be the only to do after selecting the 2D panels.
I should have to activate the selection screen through with the TAB taste, then select what I want to display, and finally press TAB. I don't understand the reason to click on an additionnal empty place before using the TAB taste.

After many movies and reviews have looked and read I bought fernbus simulator on 29 October. but after downloading the game I am, however, disappointed by the graphics, controls, and a few things. pity there is no demo is released. Now I've paid 30 euros for nothing.

I hope tml studios can come up with a solution.

chris, pls make a demo, people can buy on retail and regret about it too

Creating a Demo would take a long time and the developers want to focus on updating the game.
Before buying the game, I would suggest watching Let's Plays of the game, on YouTube, and seeing whether you like it or not.

Hello my name is Jonathan I'm from Guatemala (sorry for my english), I just buy the game 2 days ago and I played around 6 hrs. I read a lot of bad comments about the game in steam, but I decided to give it a chance, My computer is not powerful but the game plays OK the frame rate is between 14-20 FPS but drops in very specific moments but this forum is for wishes and suggestions so here are my :

* Show the time left for a closed road (This is for take action maybe is better wait the reopen).
* Optional Carry the costumer luggage and placed into the bus.
* Optional Bus mechanic failures, like over heating motor and flat tires.
* Manual Add delay time to phone app.
* Add emergency vehicles to road crashes maybe an helicopter landing and taking off. (adds more things to see)

Well I hope some of this suggestions maybe consider.

And Thank you TML Studios for your hard work.

Dynek has a good suggestion on future expansion outside of Germany and perhaps in the future this game can become to coach driving what Euro truck sim 2 has become for hauling frieght? I mean you can only drive around the same map but so many times before the novelty wears off. I believe I remember Sim UK mentioning this in one of his videos recently.

hi, i really hope that there is a setting that will allow players to increase their fps

Please improve the force feedback because it basically doesn't work , add LEDs to the steering wheel Logitech G29 when you drive so that they'll light up . Improve the optimisation in the next update , add driving busses in AI and add them to every bus stop. Also make the passengers enter and leave the bus with fluent animations . Thank you

The game is making better and better. The optimization is better, even on my weak graphic card now it is going smooth. What is missing for me at this moment it is a radio. Could you add it soon to the game please?

1) More passenger interaction/conversations.

2) Map DLC add ons (even longer routes and more choice/variety). I would definitely buy more maps to make the current one larger.

3) New random events
(Rare: Engine malfunctions, flat tires and ill passengers.
Uncommon: Traffic jams (could include sliders for this so people can pick how long in real minutes they want these to last), troublesome, travel sick or drunk passengers and having to pull over to the side to let emergency services get by you. Fallen trees after storms.)

4) AI has different types (Those who drive slow and carefully, those who are your regular good drivers and those who make mistakes and break small rules) so basically more realistic and unpredictable but not to the point where you can't get a drive done on time at all. Perhaps include a few sliders on what kind of AI people want in the game so you can get a mix of them or choose only two or one over others.

5) Ability to work for a bus company (drive routes made by other players). Perhaps in a contract type of feature. If this is not possible then drive routes that are randomly made by an AI company so that it doesn't get boring. Could even be a DLC if it had enough content to improve gameplay.

6) Ability for buses to become damaged (not visually) or dirty (visually). If damaged too badly it won't drive, if it's too dirty passengers complain and you should head to a bus wash at a bus depo whenever you can.

7) In the future perhaps you could have short routes and introduce your normal buses. Then for the longer routes you have your good old coaches. That way if someone does not have lots of time they can have a short drive, picking up passengers more frequently but if they fancy being a coach driver that is there too. It just adds more replay-ability to the game and stops it from getting boring as you can pick different roles.

Physics for coaches/buses so it doesn't feel the same driving on different types of roads.

Thank you for allowing us to have our say and hopefully we'll see some of our suggestions in the game

ETA versus Schedule Arrival

Would be nice to have on the navigation screen the Estimate Time of arrival at current speed so to understand if we're arriving too early (so to slow down a bit) or too late (and hammer down on gas).

Of course this will add some "risk" as if speed will be adjusted too close to the Schedule Arrival and something happens, then even at best speed would not be possible to arrive on time anymore!

and I think t would be intersting to add the distance left in the "general information" panel. (as in the GPs). I use the GPS panel only for that and would rather use the real GPS integrated in the dashboard. (But the caraters are to little in the real GPS).
