OMSI 2: The Omnibus Simulator

Experience a new omnibus simulator with OMSI 2 and start discovering Spandau . OMSI 2 is the successor of the well-known and awarded omnibus simulator OMSI - The Bus Simulator. OMSI 2 not only offers the routes and buses available in the original OMSI, but adds lots of exciting new features. In OMSI 2 you can drive the first ever articulated bus in the OMSI history, the MAN NG272. Explore the new omnibus line 5 covering a total distance of 12 km from the subway station Ruhleben to the psychiatric clinic Spandau. Thanks to the newly added chronology function you are not only able to drive through Spandau in 1986, but also to relive the changes taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994.

Enjoy the charm of the 80s and 90s and experience the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall - all at the wheel of a double-decker or articulated bus.

New features in OMSI 2:

• The articulated bus MAN NG272 with the exact physical and visual recreation of the joint kinematics as well as corresponding sounds and systems (bending protection).
• The MAN NL202,in addition models of the known types SD200 and SD202 (more years of production, emergency door openers, destination boards, sound variations depending on vehicle number).
• The Spandau omnibus line 5 from the subway station Ruhleben to the psychiatric clinic Spandau covering a total distance of 12 km, several new buildings, a squeezed timetable and a tight 5 minute rhythm with various bus termini and assignments for diverse and long lasting driving pleasure.
• Replication of original timetables and tour plans for omnibus lines 5 and 92.
• Chronology function: Relive the change taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994! OMSI 2 now replicates the exciting years following the German reunification and all the innovations and route expansions (line 137 to Falkensee) that came along with it. This function also allows temporary changes to maps or routes caused by construction sites or special buses.
• Advanced and improved AI traffic (better road- and steering behaviour, railway- and subway traffic).
• System damage model including different malfunctions which take time to fix.
