Looking forward to trying out the new BETA later. Thank you for the hard work.

Like Chris agreed, it is much easier than having to assign two buttons and press them multiple times.

For me; I found it particularly useful being on trackir to zoom onto the right mirrors which I cannot see so well. Probably due to my screen size.

Track IR issue (fov issue) seems to be sorted from testing so far.

Couple of issues I've found with the BETA (so far):

1) AI Traffic incidents at the following locations:

a. (note my ai setting is 50) - See images fb_ait_a01 through till 03.

b. Second incident - See images fb_ait_a04 through till 06.

2) Front Mirrors (top right mirror) showing side mirror images instead of front of the coaches on MAN's. I've not tested the other vehicles I own yet.

3) I use to be able to press and hold a button on my wheel which zoomed in on where I was looking ... then after releasing, it would go back to my usual FOV.

This doesn't seem to work anymore - I would love to have this back PLEASE!

I looked in the settings and you have to set a zoom out as well as zoom in keys.

I would prefer the old way of having one key which you pressed and held to zoom in; then let go of for the FOV to go back to normal.

EDITED:

Question: The sun rays seem to block vision quite a lot during sunset. Is this intentional? When putting down the sun screen, I found these were not blocked out and therefore vision was not improved.

Sure is. It's a biased opinion though because my favourite colour is blue

No idea why but I much prefer the blue livery for flexbus compared to the green one

Zurich to Genf ...

Some nice shots

Wasn't impressed with the gradient acceleration fix on the steep inclines. Was slowing down when going down on slopes and required no braking either way nice drive with some challenges:

1st Thoughts ...

1) New route - Frankfurt Airport totally broken!

Trying to create a new express route (Essen > Frankfurt > Frankfurt Airport > Stuttgart > Zurich) but the route creation keeps bugging out at me when trying to select Frankfurt Airport. It will only accept Essen > Frankfurt Airport > Stuttgart > Zurich.

See attached screenshot.

Unsure if this was present prior to the update release.

Also, in route creation, why does Frankfurt Airport now show x2 "H". Having the one was simple and worked better. I feel so confused when creating a new route via Frankfurt Airport. i.e. Do I select the departure stop, the arrival stop or BOTH??????? Bad GUI design this. Please change it back.

2) Navigation aid size

From reading comments from others, they are not happy. Personally I agree that the size of this navigational aid (bottom right) should be customisable. I find the current size to be too small but the size in v1.17 was too big. Allow for customisation due to players playing at different resolutions. Not everyone plays at 1080p!

Also, the navigation window resize seems to have the same sized green arrow (signifying your position)?????

3) Ticket Sales - Improved GUI - KEEP THIS!

I love the new font sizes you have implemented when selling tickets on the phone app. Do not change this.

4) Road gradient acceleration - good job on "fixing" but ...

This still needs improvement. I have noticed a difference when going up hills. However when travelling towards Bern down the very steep gradients, I find myself not applying the brake when in reality I would be on it constantly. See screenshots. Note ... I was driving at low speed due to the concentration required when using TrackIIR and watching the mirrors

...

I'll add more feedback once I have played more hours in game.

Have more "rest stops" been added to the map? As per my suggestion in the stable version thread here?

Thank you

Question is in the title of the thread: How do we access the driver seat options menu in game?

As shown in the video here:

Thanks in advance

First time to Switzerland

TUI livery is on the steam library

Hi,

Some more issues to report:

1) Unsure if it is meant to be like this but the MAN Lions Coach C has a luggage door on the right hand side which does not open. Is it meant to be implemented like this? See photo 1 attached. Answered below.

2) Traffic in Essen is way too busy causing traffic jams. Even with a reduced setting of 85. See photo 2a and 2b.

3) The "Fanfare" button which is clickable does not do anything. Is it meant to do something? See photo 3. Did not realise this changes the horn sound. Assumed it was for the end stop as an announcement for the route ending.

4) Get punished for being off road at the bus station in Luzern. See photo 4.

5) Rest Stops - not enough placed around the map - losing a lot of points:
a) Rest stops in ALL cities would be REALLY helpful.
b) When planning routes, being able to know when a rest stop is required would be useful.

EDIT: This is mainly an issue in Germany or with routes that start in Germany and finish in another country.

For example, I had to take a rest stop at Zurich bus station (photo 5) as it wasn't possible on the route I had created to take one after Zurich.

I've had this issue a lot in game and I have been losing a lot of points due to this.

Can something be done to improve this or can new service "rest" areas be added to the map?

EDIT 2:

6) There seems to be no symbol present on the dashboard when using the retarder brakes. In reference to any coach model.

Thank you

Same here but with the ability to change the default first person view also. I use TrackIR and have to reset it looking slightly down so that I can see with a slightly upper look

On the subject of translations; please update the following settings (ENGLISH):

Current Setting name ---> Needs to be

1. Indicator Down = Left Indicator
2. Indicator Up = Right Indicator
3. Fixing Brake = Parking Brake
4. ASR = Traction Control

Also, 2 other bugs I have made as separate posts (was unaware of the procedure for posting bugs):

Loaded Save route. End of journey missed stops?

and ...

Traffic jam on 66 out of Frankfurt toward Erfurt (ai issue)

Thank you. Found it in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Fernbus

Have backed up the entire folder

Question is in the title; how do we backup our settings (including controls) and our profile?

Many thanks

BETA Update 1.18.19235 - Feedback & Bugs
yes, this is a game bug, however, please report beta errors in this section to facilitate the recognition and work of tml studios @pete_agreatguy regards

What did you mean by beta errors in this section? Where else can we report issues? i.e. Which sub-forum?

Also, please don't use the @ command in every reply. I subscribe to threads to get notifications. I keep getting x2 notifications (1 from the @ command and 1 for the thread subscription). I only require one. Wanted to send this privately but could not PM you.

Thank you

Hi all,

There is an issue with AI which cause a traffic jam on highway 66, just out of Frankfurt heading towards Erfurt.

See the screenshots attached

Nope, it's not lift/drop the rear axle.
