I do like Omsi Bus Simulator but unfortunatley don't have it. I watched one video on youtube and it was a birmingham mod with mainly NX livered E500's
I have a game called Midtown Madness 2 on my computer which I have modded with loads of buses including a TWM Metrobus, other Metrobuses, B7TL President, Open-Top Gemini, Dart and loads of other buses. Was driving a Metrobus around London a couple of hours ago along my imaginary bus route which I always drive ;D

With the omsi simulator im guessing the merc 0405n doesn't come as standard and has to be downloaded or brought separately online?

You can easily get more vehicles/tracks/mods from fan sites for all these games online for free.
Does anyone else apart from me and Nath have/had Midtown Madness 2?
Yeah can download the merc easily and its not too bad in fairness although compared to real life it does seem extremely underpowered, the voith version is faster than the zf...

mod for that
I use OMSI - mercedes 0405n is the standard I believe
but otherwise there are hundreds of mods for it - such as a twm branding or scania omnilink etc etc. or mods to make buses go pass their speed limit
i had omsi from the day it came out its great.
If anyone has or is thinking of getting it
Use this site: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/forum/118-world-of-omsi/
This is the only full english forum.
Game comes with the berlin map and the man buses, other maps and buses including the 0405n can be downloaded for free.

As strange as it sounds I usually use Grand Theft Auto 4, I've got a network of about 25 routes on there I think. I'm no good with computers, so I'd have no chance modding simulators and all this business :P

That's what I said then I thought bugger it and just played trial and error with omsi... now I can repaint buses, refurbish buses program destinations, program AI traffic :P not bad considering I don't speak a word of German!

Just to show off :P
Reminds me of a picture I saw of a Volvo B7tl Gemini in (I think) Midtown Madness 2?.
More than likely was, tbh I've never played mm2, seems a bit of an old game to start now! I'm hoping some of the upcoming british buses for omsi actually end up being finished, would be nice to refurb a Trident TWM style :P

There's about 3 supposed "work in progress" but most of them don't materialize! I know the Enviro 400 looks like it is actually starting to resemble an omsi bus so fingers crossed!

Don't suppose you have a link to, I guess, the forum topic? Aussiex I guess? My nephew is obsessed with buses (he has a mind complaint) and I think it'll make his day if there is pictures of Birmingham buses in his favourite game.
tbh I read most of them a while back but I have been keeping my eyes on this http://simulatorgames.webs.com/apps/forums/topics/show/8480352-adl-enviro-400-09-01-13?page=3 It's not the best but baring in mind its WIP I'm sure the final textures will improve a bit!

Looking very nice also, about time these "normal" buses are put into a game the kiddies can enjoy. :)
Time for one happy Harry! (That's his name) :)
Awww glad to oblige ;) Fingers crossed once the ADL's are completed we see a Plaxton President :P
That D92 seat cover looks amazing, have played OMSI for years its fantastic! Would love to see some of your other work Trident, which forums do you use?
Wow thanks! I used to used playglobe but the owner was a prick to me so I withdraw all my mods from there and left the site, tbh I haven't bothered using any forums since as it's just a hassle, and as my mates send me new buses and things I might like I don't need to bother!
I'm currently working on a nice little stopping light mod but it's quite a hassle to mod this particular light -_-

Still looks very good from where I'm sitting :)
Haha Thank you but I'm a perfectionist and it won't do like that! xD
One more you might like for Harry is the B9TL Eclipse, it looks a bit like a square tank at this stage but there are some aspects that look very realistic like the back window etc. and once again this is WIP so will probably be much more realistic at release.
The website itself you have to register for so to save you the bother, here's the pics:

Thanks so much for these pics mate, I'm sure Harry will go hyperactive after seeing these haha. I'm liking the Dash and wheel pics the most! Nice stuff ;D
No worries!
You can actually drive the full 904 route on here (30 minute trip lol) :D
It seems a bit off to me though, something about the expressway isn't quite right, Not to mention it has the old city centre layout where buses terminated on upper bull st :P Still it is extremely good having a local route! I'm hoping when Omsi 2 is out (supposed to have an upgraded editor including google maps) that I might be able to rustle up a map, Would love to drive the 50!
I'm still pondering about whether to get OMSI or not.
My laptop is a Samsung, 3GB ram and dual core 2.53GHZ processors.
Any idea about how well it'd work, I'm windows 7 btw
Reading amazon, it seems to be temperamental and helpful info would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks.
Temperamental is the understatement of the century! It is a nightmare especially if like me you edit the maps and the AI traffic, it also has an annoying habit of resetting the terrain from time to time. If you're just purely playing then it isn't THAT Bad but again you have to have a really decent system for a good framerate and if you have a rubbish framerate/performance the buses have a habit of jumping about on their own and becoming difficult to control, not to mention if you have a collision it for some reason affects the performance until you're clear of the crash! Having said that is is the most realistic bus simulator about without question and when Omsi 2 is released later this it promises to improve reliability, however if the updates released for omsi so far are anything to go by I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd also say if you want it to work well you need to have a decent graphics card aswell as memory. To sum up, if you have a half decent computer that manages other games ok then yes go for it, if it's not that good you might get away with the smaller maps if you have a play with the settings but I wouldn't expect the bigger maps to work well at all.
I have OMSI, and I also have MM2, but I think OMSI clearly trumphs MM2 by far, and details. But having been out a year(?) it IS lacking quite a lot of mods, or either the mods do not work, like Birmingham mod, or some strange glithces, other than that OMSI wins... (P.S. I still enjoy MM2) ;D ;D ;D
I bought OMSI, and I must say I was relieved it worked, despite the glitches.
So far I've added a Mercedes Citaro!
I'm Glad it works! If you need any of the NX liveries let me know :P
Something about mine though doesn't seem right. After installation, and the Birmingham Mod added, it comes up with a Warning, saying 'o3d. file not found'
I've checked on the Aussiex.org site, and i couldn't find anything! Does anyone know anything about this?
It usually means you're missing files (not stating the obvious, sometimes it can come up for no reason), .o3d is the file format for objects including buses. Does it give you the option to continue or does it just stop loading?

It usually stops loading, then after i cancel it, it keeps on reoccuring with the same background...
Need to write down the missing filename and check to see if the maps installed properly, sounds like a file has gone awol.
Anyway this post is a follow up on the B9TL Gemini previously reported, the guy building it has posted some more photos.

Afraid so, this guy seems to love Hong Kong stuff so all his work is dedicated around their buses and their specifications (he is probably from there but I don't know him so couldn't say) :( It does go rather nicely with the 904 map though :P

Not 100% sure but I think it is just a standard Trident/integral chassis, it is voith though so sounds nothing like ours.
*Yes I've just checked it is ADL chassis with Cummins engine.*

I've got it! I've also downloaded these:
- NXWM (another one, before this repaint)
- Stagecoach London
- Stagecoach Gold
- Arriva Variant 1
- Arriva Variant 2
- Arriva Sapphire
- Demonstrator One (Blank Grey with Bus info)
- Demonstrator Two (UK Livery Version)
and i'm trying to find many more for this magnificent beauty!
The NXWM one is gorgeous enough for me :P quite ironic driving a new enviro 400 on the 904 (yes I know not a proper UK version), in the current orangey red livery knowing that in a few weeks time that will probably be the reality!

Oh yes, only since wednesday night though. It's been updated quite a bit too, AI is much improved.
I got omsi 2 today it is f**king amazing the bendibus is sooooo hard to control
I ain't going to lie, I have found the bendibus easy to control, infact I'm even getting the knack of reversing the bloody thing now although time spent on ETS2 probably helps there! Could be a knack I guess but just keep persevering with it I'm sure you'll pick it up :P The voith on that beast is fantastic, its almost like a metrobus/spectra/b10l with some of the typical MAN bass thrown in for good measure!

29 euros on Aerosoft site or I dont encourage it but it is available on Torrent
£26.99 on Steam
If you have Omsi 1 you can upgrade for a discounted 19.99 Euros, which is roughly £16

Nah A lot of people have said that, especially the older mercs. Personally I think the Ultras were underrated when they were around, 1511 especially sounded very lynx like and to a degree the Ultras had more similarities looks wise too.
Sorry for the delay in uploading this one, it is the same bus and soundpack but different sounds (you get 2 in the same pack) To me it sounds like a cross between a Walsall B7RLE, a Lance and a Citaro but that's just my ears :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=988y-5oTqDM

Great Grundorf 2 is finally out! O.o http://omsi2.com/downloads/great-grundorf-2.html LS There aren't really any new decent buses out yet, but there is a new pack coming soon that will contain not only an articulated Euro 6 citaro but also a Euro 2 0405GN :P It'll be a payware though.
Are you doing omisi on YouTube If so they're great
I do have a couple of amateur videos on my channel but probably won't be putting anymore up now.
I think that OMSI 2 is great -- though the only main improvement as far as I am concerned is the addition of the bendy bus!
Just looking through AussieX.org Forum, and someone's decided to build an E200! HK Version, obviously, slightly inaccurate, but it looks stunning...

Not sure if he's on here himself, but there's a guy on AussieX named 'twmmcw' who does all sorts of mods and repaints for the OMSI buses. Although, I do think they're quite rough. I can't complain, I don't know how tot do any of it myself... :P
He has been making mods for a while now, hes even used some of my videos and ive provided him with interior photos to make seat patterns with. Hopefully once someone has got to the bottom of Sutton Coldfield not working on Omsi 2, Ill become a bit more active in the omsi world again! (Im itching to add 934/5/6 and X51 onto that map!)
@trident4370, Yes. I have seen your named being credited in most of his works, well done! Imagine if there was a mod, where you ARE a driver with real life scenarios... Examples:
- Leaving your home to your depot
- Finding your bus (selected at start of game)
- Vehicle Check, etc, etc...
Wouldn't that be great? There's something to make our driving experience more lfelike... On Playglobe, there's a program (downloadable app) called 'OMSILive' - It's still currently being updated constantly, but it's meant to be like your own operator, with a budget, rotas, etc... Quite fascinating really.
There is an option to make "Situations" for Omsi, when loading some maps give you the option of choosing a Situation. The trouble is I believe the actual capabilities Omsi has is very limited so you could in theory have a scenario where you take over a bus at a certain point late or whatever but if you wanted to have a diversion or a day of private hires, I don't think it is possible although tbh I haven't properly examined situations since Omsi 2 so it may have been improved in the upgrade. As for playglobe I don't get involved with them anymore, let's just say the management are a bunch of prats and leave it at that!
I think it's fair to say AussieX trumps Playglobe. But there's still some interesting things on there, however if it's not a BETA file, then it's probably broken! ;D

Also, i'm guess i'm right in saying that their discussion board has NOTHING compared to AussieX. They have NO NAVIGATION WHATSOEVER. AussieX is not too great, but more laid out...
Yeah the original Playglobe.org was the site I used to use, wasn't half as complicated as the current one! AussieX for me from now on at least it is safe and reliable if nothing else.

It seems a great bus to drive indeed. The map looks like it's the Great Grundorf 2. I drove the P1 route, it was a nice but long ride. Went on the motorway and didn't get off the motorway after 9 minutes. I drove the Citaro O530N bendi-bus.

haha a pro is a bit much, keyboard driving is always a bit jolty as the steering is tricky to control, you tap the key and it turns far too much... It is indeed GG2 haha you should try going through the 2.5km tunnel on one of the motorways, that is an interesting drive!

Yes! I agree. It is tricky. You just have to know how to control the keypad, but sometimes no matter how perfectly you tap the button, it manages to steer further than expected. Oh, yes, how could I forget the 2.5km tunnel?! P1 went through the tunnel, I was like "Ooooh!" I very much enjoyed the ride through the tunnel. I got a bit naughty and drove faster, it was an awesome fast driving.

Those who care, the Omsi Alternating displays are a success; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7FfOkcMIfk Next I'm looking at the possibility of adding an extension onto the map to Falcon Lodge, or even potentially Tamworth. The main problem is going to be a lack of realistic scenery :(

Lovely. I particularly like the 110 displays, mainly due to the fact you can see the alternation better. :) Good Job!

Nor do I but that livery is totally off. I don't know what it is with these repaints but accuracy is far from the most difficult thing to abide by. For instance, the green starts at the top right hand corner of the front wheel arch, not at the lower skirt. Next is the absence of correct fleetname on the front, and the obvious lack of detail on the sides. It surely isn't that hard to look at a picture and copy from it? It seems to me this was made "just off the top of his head" - sort of thing~

Omsi 1 I think is better than 2 although have both with the wheel and pedals its a decent game

From what I heard, the Logitec G27 is the best for OMSI - I mean, from what I see on eBay, it's quite pricey. But have you seen this custom dashboard? Made to look like the MAN D92 Cab: (*excuse the magpie*) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkfxh9y9rqE

Yeah, the G27 looks like starting from £150. That MAN D92 dashboard and steering wheel is very difficult to find and is involved a lot of wiring. If you have a lot of money (or rich by family) then good luck. When I first saw the video couple of months ago, I was fascinated about how that guy managed to fix everything and made it work. I went to research how to get it and I thought to myself "It won't happen." Because I don't have the expertise in wiring, which LED light bulbs to get, specific wires, etc.
I just use the Numpad on the keyboard, it's free. ;)

If its from MM2 surely the TWM livery should be on there? AD156 uglybob~ AVW1 would probably want credit, though.

If I remember correctly, there was three different TWM Geminis. Two were variations of the 33 Branding, but neither had the demonstrator livery - which, in MM2, ironically displayed the 16, to Hamstead. I think the demonstrator bus was a different bus for MM2... Hopefully, when the bus is actually released we can hope to see interior lighting, dashboard lights, changing displays, etc... And more importantly, a TWM/NXWM livery.
Original omsi : Man d92,d89-86, sd77-85

Indeed, iirc SD77 - 80 have the Roller blinds and the rest have the flip-dot matrix (I hope I am correct with the words I use regarding the digital blind).
I have the Mercedes Benz O405N2 in both OMSI 1 and 2. I think you can download the Citaro O530 (single decker) and O530G (bendi-bus).
I bought OMSI 1 first and a couple of months later I bought OMSI 2. Tbh, I play OMSI 1 more than OMSI 2.

Not forgetting in OMSI2 you have the MAN NL202. Single decker. The shorter bendybus, if you will.

Apparently OMSI 2 can be very slow/laggy and crashes a lot, and there are a lot of bugs such as AI vehicles crashing into your bus when you park
That's why I think I'm going to buy the original OMSI
Good decision,
@Matt. Hope you enjoy the game. :)
@Trident 4194, these maps (Sutton Coldfield, etc) are only for OMSI 1. It can be converted to OMSI 2 but I have no idea how.

Thanks! Had just found it.
I've just ordered OMSI. When it arrives, how do I install mods like this?
Once downloaded the required files, you need to have a program to unzip the downloaded files - use WinRAR. Then you need to copy and paste the folders in the OMSI directory where appropriate. Pretty much straightforward.

Looking at videos, is midtown madness really bad, as it looks terribly unrealistic, in comparison with omsi
Omsi does have its bugs, like cars going through you, and getting stuck in traffic for like 10 minutes

Midtown Madness 2 was released on September 22nd 2000. In its heyday it was the leader in racing games, with its easy modification abilities for after market addons and its 'cruise' mode. MM2 was never designed for people to drive according to the rules of the road. It was literally rough and ready racing game.
However.. With aftermarket addons and buses (such as the AD156 uglybob~ B7TL Gemini, TWM of course) and some graphic patches (such as the MM Classic mod) you could get some impressive renders even by today's standards. What let MM2 down was its core files inability to handle an immense number of polygons. Which is understandable as even the best graphic cards in 2000 are worse then the integrated crap you get in netbooks today. (In reason)
Omsi isn't comparable to MM2. Omsi is a dedicated PCV simulator. MM2 used vehicles with, like, 60 total polygons. Go figure.

OMSI 2
(Probably compatible with OMSI 1) NEW RELEASE: From AD156 himself, he's brought back the Volvo B10BLE
http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/5067-volvo-b10ble-wright-renown/

Finally! There be a day for a Wright B10 bus being released! I was considering to create a B10L myself but sadly I haven't got a clue what to do with the program Blender... I'll have to have a look on the weekend after the exams are over this week.
I gave up waiting and downloaded and installed the B10BLE bus yesterday. I must say I'm disappointed that the bus is a final version because there are few things that are not finished and needs adjusting/improving. The buttons (apart from start/stop and lights) on the dashboard are non-interactive. The lights inside are too bright and is lit in the driver's cab even if the doors are closed. In the driver's view, I can't see the indicator and wiper sticks, and the indicator light on the dashboard, but if I change to the passenger view and both are visible. Surprised to find out there is no indicator sound. The headlights and indicators needs improving, when either are switched on you can see white/orange circles rather than a full light. I can't change the settings on the heating, I don't know how to switch it on/off.
The creator did an alright job creating a B10BLE but I can't believe he released the incomplete bus.
Looks like I'm sticking with the Mercedes Benz O405N2.

Anyway, recently, we've been seeing more MM2 conversions from AD156 himself. The latest edition, being his Volvo B7 Wright Eclipse, now with ALL original liveries... (including a Travel West Midlands livery) - Hopefully in the future, we could see a final 'Volvo B7TL' in a TWM or 33 branded livery...
Speaking of which, I'd also love to see a Borismaster on the game. Even if it's in Beta. Just a thought. (1st door controlled by keys; 2nd door for exiting vehicle; 3rd door controlled by mouse (pulling door to open/close)) - there was plans to make it, but I don't think the project went very far, seeing as they only used a Blender (or maybe SketchUp) template.
Here's the B7: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/5080-volvo-b7l-wright-eclipse/
(Discontinued?) Borismaster project: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/19425-would-omsi-2-make-a-london-routemaster/
The B7L seems worse than the renown! The mirrors are completely useless, I appreciate perfection takes time but the point is he clearly isn't taking the time and is just rushing through the conversions, we have had what 3 new buses within 2 months? Just slow down a bit and tidy up some of the bugs, I'd rather wait longer for a better result.

Perhaps. Well, it's just a map to me. The only parts of the map I like are driving on the Expressway and in Birmingham city centre. Don't like driving E400, was dreaming me driving a B10L in game. Maybe that would be possible in the future. ;)

Interesting driving there,
@Matt. ;)
I'd like to share two of my videos:
In this map (904), around 25:00 when the cars want to turn right to the street, I tend to let them go because if I drive past them and they will crash me so whilst recording, I have to let them go pass = no crashing. :) Braking is a bit sharp or too soft stopping a bit further from the bus stop. Don't like E400s.

That's my normal style driving on omsi, also like to open the doors before I've reached the stop. Also when I'm at a bus stop I like revving the d77 because it sounds like an alx400 b7tl, I prefer the d92 overall, but can prove to be quite slow

Hahaha! Excellent! Reminds me of the times of running late on the Pershore Road with Metrobuses... fantastic nostalgia!
I have finished the external part of my Diamond Citaro livery for Omsi. http://oi61.tinypic.com/o6iid1.jpg If anyone spots a mistake or sees something I've missed, feel free to post so I can correct it :)
Looks great! Only complaint is that it may need dents putting in along parts of the body to be true Diamond. ;)

I prefer the 12. Scenic, and quite time-consuming. Just over an hour (I think), to the ASDA and back.
In the Scunthrope map, the route 16 is there but no timetable. I've been looking on the thread and a few people mentioned about this. Haven't seen the response how to get the timetable for the 16.
I like 10/10A circulars, 32/32A circulars, 33, 34, 35/35C, 37.

Just watched a guy doing the 35 on Scunthorpe map looks really nice route
Just out of interest, has anyone tried a 2 hours and 20 minutes mammoth route 777 in Bowdenham map? :)
It's a really nice route, very long and lots of turnings to remember because the arrows do not show 777. Only took me 3 tries to remember the route 777. First try took me 3 hours and 40 minutes, 2nd try took me 3 hours, 3rd try took me 2 hours and 35 minutes. Getting better. :P

Oh, dear. :( It's easier if you know every road names. Follow the red writing for road names on the top left, that's what I did at first (that's why it took one hour and 20 minutes extra than scheduled on the first try). :)
There is a person on YouTube whom recorded the whole route of the 777 in 10 parts - 8-14 minutes, 15 minutes maximum. It's that long. :P

If anyone has any ideas for NXWM/TWM related stuff for OMSI, just ask. I am 'twmmcw' at Aussiex.
I've started making a bus for OMSI, tried making an account on aussiex but it's been awaiting approval for about a month ::)

Thinking of making a whole West Midlands skin pack, i.e NXWM, Diamond, Hansons, and any other operators that run them, can't think of any others off the top of my head. Hopefully I'll have something worth putting out in the next week or so.
I've made some progress on the skins, so far I've got NXWM Red and White, Crimson and Platinum for an Enviro 400, NXWM and Hansons for an Enviro 200, NXWM on a B10BLE Wright Renown and an old TWM liveried Mercedes-Benz 709D. Still got a long way to go before I'm happy with these, but they're not bad for a couple of hours of work, if I do say so myself. I'll happily release them on here if anyone wants them, and I'm open to any requests for any liveries.

I haven't done much work on repaints lately, blame college for that one! I did whip up a quick Black Diamond repaint earlier though.

There is the unofficial Sutton Coldfield route which is pictured above. If you need help getting it working for OMSI 2, let me know through PM.
I've also released my first public reskin, a Hansons Enviro 200, available over on FellowsFilm (https://fellowsfilm.co.uk/files/hansons-local-bus-repaint-for-enviro-200.717/). I've got a lot more in the works, including the ones I've shown here, and I quickly made the TWM repaint for the B7TL that I pictured above, which I might release once I've worked on it a little more.
Been back at work doing some reskins, hopefully you all will remember this one!

Hi all, not sure if anyone here has any interest in OMSI still, but the regional version of the ALX 400 with just a single door was released this week. I'll be sorting myself out a new computer tomorrow as a reward for finishing a year of uni, so I'll try and start work on some NXWM and TWM repaints in the near future.
(https://fellowsfilm.co.uk/attachments/screenshot-529-png.28339/)
In other OMSI news, there has been a static Leyland Lynx MK1 model released, which while not driveable, would work great as a prop in a route set in the past.
(https://fellowsfilm.co.uk/attachments/1524824377483-png.28119/)
Alongside this, there's also been a RHD version of the MAN A21 released.
(https://i.imgur.com/oMiPHBe.png)
Finally, on the topic of new buses, there has also been a RHD conversion of a Mercedes-Benz Citaro released, although sadly there's no option for an articulated one.
(//)
There's also been a few maps released, like Scunthorpe and Yorkshire Counties, along with a paid release called Keedlestone.
I'm excited to get back into the simulator soon and try out all the new content, so hopefully you all won't mind a few screenshots of repaints on here! :)
Well, I've pretty much finished my first repaint for the ALX 400... Here's 4198 on a day out in Somerset.
(https://i.imgur.com/pEJxztZ.png)
Had a go at making 4879 with it's new livery, still a few things I need to adjust, but overall I'm happy with it.

I managed to find a download for this Eclipse 1 bodied B7RLE, since the regular one that most people have for Omsi doesn't allow for repaints easily.

How about another, slightly more recent livery? It also carries a rear ad for Vice City Stories on the PSP, and an offside T advert for Blockbuster, since I'm trying to make it 100% period correct.

It's based on the mid 2000s, at least advert wise. I'm not sure if the old X20 was still ran by TWM at that point though, but that's just for show anyway, as the only West Midlands route is the Sutton map.
The X20 was run by AG Metrobuses, towardsthe end of their operation, if that helps.
This was the first TWM bus to run the X20 Sunday service from Birmingham to Stratford-upon-Avon:

It was still in its "Britain's First" livery at the time. I remember riding on the first service of the day, boarding on Moor Street by the back of the old Pavilions, and having no idea where I was when we got to Stratford. I was still on a child ticket at the time, so this would've been the late 90s.
Been watching some videos on YouTube of the Gainsborough and Yorkshire map for Omsi 2. Seriously impressive dependent of course you can successfully download the files and graphics are good on your PC. The streetlites used in the video are mightily impressive and the e200 MMC sound is so realistic. Also saw a spectra on a video and that sounded amazing
Can you get the citaro on Omsi 1? Everything online now is Omsi 2 it seems

Omsi 1 is a lot older and isn't supported at all. There may be some older LHD ones somewhere online, but RHD content only really took off for Omsi 2.
The E400MMC DLC released yesterday, so naturally, I've been working on some NXWM stuff. This one isn't finished, as it still needs the Evening5 price branding on the sides and front, but it's getting there.

position of the n/s mirror is wrong, nearly the whole fleet of nxwm buses use extended mirrors, good work though
Looks like we'll finally have something realistic to use on the Sutton map. ;)

Here's my take on the Hydrogen livery. Is that fast enough? ;D
Are the Omsi Spectra repaints available for download by any chance?
Here's my go at recreating the new Chaserider livery on a Streetlite, it needs some changes still, and some stuff still needs adding once more photos of them appear online, but I'm happy with it so far.

I've released one of R1 NEG, which you can get here: https://virtualbus.co.uk/resources/ono-twm-r1-neg-repaint-for-digibus-phantom.544/
Do you have to ask permission from the operators that you're gonna use their identities in the game?

If you are using it for personal use, no permission is required. However, if you are selling/distributing to others, then Copyright Law states that you need to ask permission from the owner to use their logo etc.

Yeah, hence why the DLC on Steam is devoid of actual branding, unless it is licensed. They also don't include any repaints from actual companies.

A way to get round this, I believe, is to alter the colours used ever so slightly so that they aren't actually the same shade of colour, but look the same.

You could do that, but the livery itself would still be subject to copyright, as it'd still be the same design, and you couldn't use the logos. I believe the exception to this is TfL operations, as I think the London developers have a license with them, which covers using the operator logos for TfL services.
