Dear community,

today is my last day here at TML. After almost two years, I want to say goodbye.

It was a good and sometimes surprisingly turbulent time with you guys, thank you very much for that!

In case we don't read each other anymore: All the best for you, stay as you are and don't lose the fun with the simulators

Goodbye and stay healthy!

We just released a new BETA for The Bus. We have made some fixes, including the multi-display function. You can find the full changelog in the main article.

Hi bartekzak02,

thanks for informing us, we are already aware of this and are trying to get to the bottom of it.

Regards

Well, we'll see. We really can't give a definitive date or even a time span right now

Here is the teased bus from yesterday again in a larger format

It is of course the MAN Lion's City double-decker, which will be added to The Bus in phase two. You can also see part of the new Line 200, which is also being built.

Can you spot what our 3D artists are working on right now for The Bus? Soon we‘ll be able to show you more

Hi MarcFRA, thanks for the kind words.

We can't calculate right now how many updates will come until Phase 2, but it could be very well go over 1.9, meaning 1.10 is absolutely a possibility.

The answers are of course: Sony Center, Humboldt University, "The old Fritz" Unter den Linden and the Philharmonie

It is actually quite nice, there are always a lot of things happening under this dome, like outdoor cinema in the summer months (in real life, not in the game)

The players will also be able to walk around there and see the building for themselves.

*Edited for clarification*

The Hotfix for Update 28 has finally been officially released. Amongst other things, various crashes have been fixed, the wobbling buses no longer wobble and the performance has been optimized.

You can see the full changelog in the main article.

Where is that?

Those familiar with The Bus will of course recognize two of the pictures without any problems. But where are the other two? We are currently working at full speed on new routes and decorating the terrain so that you can soon explore new areas of The Bus.

We're starting a new BETA for The Bus! Update 1.3. BETA has just been activated. Various problems have been fixed, the passenger behavior has been revised, pedestrians can finally cross the street and further corrections have been made to the minimap, bug reporter and others.

You can find the full changelog here:

Hi besenyei.pisti,

we will offer full controller support indeed from phase 2 on. Right now, some controllers work already but we can't guarantee it. If you wanna be safe, wait for it a little, but sooner or later, you will be able to use your future controller in-game.

A new version of the hotfix for FBS has just been released! We have corrected a few things, the full changelog can be found in the main article, as always.

We are pleased that Cuzzy [TML Studios] has found his way into our TML Online team and we look forward to work with you!

Welcome!

Thanks, it will be forwarded (the suggestion with the sales person as well)

Today the Open World Sale starts on Steam!

From May 27th - 31st, 2021 you can get Fernbus Simulator, Tourist Bus Simulator and a lot of DLCs for a reduced price!

It is indeed a performance issue so, while still on our list, it will take a while to find it's way into the game

A new BETA version has just been released, which among other things fixes the wobbling of the buses. The full changelog can be seen in the main article.
