My question is: How do you make the bus go in reverse? I tried pressing the brake when shifting into reverse. I've tried setting the parking brake as well. But when I shift into reverse, release the brakes, and apply throttle, the bus just sits there revving the engine. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
As I was getting the bus into Kedzie Depot, another weird thing happened. I inched the bus closer toward the fence at the entrance, but it wouldn't slide open. The bus had to pass through the fence to get it to open!
Yes, I think this is point to be revised. The fogged windscreen is one of the weak points of this buses, also with 27 C inside of the bus and at the exterior 8 C.I had made several turns connected with ICAO KMDW(Chicago Midway), and the alternative is not a easy one: passengers complained about the high temperature at the bus (27 C) or fogged windscreen. Enough to shut off the heat, the temperature went down only one degree to 26 and in a couple of minutes the windscreen became foggy. Strange this bus not come equipped with so a elementary device as a defog for the windscreen.
I try to keep the bus temperature at a decent level (between 19 and 23 C, 66 to 75 F). Driving with real weather (based at KMDW) at this point would have the outside air rather cold, (about 1C at the moment) would make it tricky.
I purchased the Chicago Downtown addon today. I ran it the first time, all was fine. Everything worked perfectly. I closed omsi, re-opened it and now when I launch omsi the buses either spaz out, or i can only see the dials and the driver. This is only a problem with the buses that needs solving.
Did you buy it from Steam or elsewhere? There shouldn't be any activation issues with add-ons bought from Steam. Copy the log file (located at OMSI 2\logfile.txt) to your desktop, start OMSI, then check the Addons tab in Options If OMSI 2 - Chicago Downtown says Activated, post the contents of that log file in a Spoiler here.
Given that the MLB postseason underway, and there's a possibility of something from Back to the Future: Part 2 actually happening (even if it's a few days late or against another team), I felt this was appropriate.
Probably because it doesn't get that hot in the Midwest, or any Norther US state. I think the highest I've seen in NYC is 98 or 99. It could feel hotter, but I rarely see the actual temperature be 100+.
I'm also working on a font modification for the Chicago buses. One part of the mod can be seen on the signs of the two buses in the first picture, another part of that mod is shown on this screenshot of an interior sign.
Routes 7 and 126 (PDF) would be good candidates, as both routes serve areas already covered in this map. However, as for night routes, only Line 20 goes anywhere nearby (on Madison, a few blocks north of Jackson).
Then again, anything beyond the existing routes would be a tremendous undertaking, as there's nothing modeled between Kedzie Garage and Downtown, except for the neighborhood immediately surrounding the garage and what's visible from the Congress Expressway, though Blue Line stations at Kedzie-Homan, California (abandoned/disused), Western, Damen-Paulina (Illinois Medical District), Racine, and UIC-Halsted seem to have been omitted, including a highly visible ramp connecting the Blue and Pink "L" lines just east of Illinois Medical District station (the ramp starts at Loomis (1400W), rises and passes over Ashland (1600W), then curves to meet the Pink line west of Paulina (1700W).
I drove one of these buses on the wonderful Projekt Szczecin map*, and in particular, an incline on the 63 route at Artyleryjska. I drove to the bus stop there, then attempted to drive onward, toward Skolwin. The only way I could do this though was to set the parking brake, rev up the engine, then while doing so, release the brake. Inspecting the incline in the editor revealed that the incline at the Skolwin-bound bus stop at Artyleryjska is 8% (1 in 12.5). I wasn't able to go faste
