Awesome - these are the same people who did the excellent Berlin Subway add-on for MSTS and the recent PATH simulator. Looks like we finally have a worthy bus sim!

Seriously though, I hope it's not a cruddy mess like the PATH simulator.

I would foam to death if it had actual Series 50 motor sounds, and also if you could make the bus lean, if it can do that, I will purchase this simulator.

Lol, I'm hoping the same thing. I just wish they could squeeze in an Orion into the sim

Awsome!! I hope they make the RTS sound like the real one. It would pwn if the RTS has an 6V92!!

Also nice to hear I will able to drive another bus other than the TC NYC Orion V and the LTA Orion V CNG. It would be funny if this game has an NG in it and somebody rings the bell and that annoying "please exit though the rear door" anncement plays lol.

Well, their other series "World of Subways" was not entirely bad. However. In fact, it pretty much simulates how an actual subway works. The only issue which I've had with it were the low FPS.

Well a PC bus simulator is a new thing. I hope this one is better then the other ones. However, the issue in World of Subways was the physics. For example, the Acceleration of the Path car is at least 6-8 mph/s with a top speed of 67 MPH. So hopefully they will be more mindful about the physics in this version. Also, I've recall one time I was about 1000 feet in the sky because I've "flip" a switch!!

BTW, where did you guys obtain the information on this sim?

Uhh, yeah...I'm sure if you press CTRL+L the bus will lean.

Yes. Once you take into account the accuracy of what's between the stations (track layout and speeds), the physics (Try operating at 50 MPH without having your camera sliding into and out of the car like it's on some kind of huge motorized pendulum), and the graphic performance (even on the "low" version, frame rates are barely tolerable at best), the PATH simulator sucks. You can't even set up a round-robin tour of the system (i.e. round trip from Newark via all three terminals), and the free roam is only limited to walking around outside the cab. The in-game announcements are all done by someone with a heavy German accent, as if the victory of World War II went to Nazi Germany, and yes, even though it doesn't need to be said, there is no reference whatsoever to the PA-5 cars.

It does look nice in the pictures, but beyond that, it's a disappointment.

I hope that, unlike Bus Driver, this game will actually be playable. Bus Driver is horrible.

Apparently they're finally set their main website up. Also, they setup a bunch of videos on their main page as well.

I watched some of the vids.. simply amazing! My favorite one was the wheelchair lift video, so realstic how the bus gets put into idle it sounds diffent not to mention the keeling. This game looks like it has free roam, you can get off the bus walk around 42nd street.
