True but OMSI 2 has simulation of time periods as a big feature of the game. So it's possible to see some maps that feature GMC Fishbowls of the CTA #301 body type and some Nova Classics among the bus line ups. It's especially true of maps created by those who are fans of the North American bus types.

The issue I was raising was forward rather than backwards. For instance if they have Pace 15500 in the system, one could repaint it poppy and silver* and go with Marty McFly back to the future on a Los Angeles map; same if they have an XN40. I bet though, they have neither.

*As here on a "Hambuig" bus or @YoungBusLover suggested with a NJT NABI.

If it s a green dot sign, it should be split between the big number  box and the less tall 15 character destination sign. If  you are portraying 6000s after the rehab, it would be the full  height and width orange one. I think you have it backwards.

Yeah the developer is basing the model of off NJT which is why the destination signs look the way they do. However the destination signs you were alluding to are on the Metro B's.

Got to keep in mind though that OMSI is a German based simulator and that an actual 100% addition that wasn't player made didn't get introduced until the Chicago addon. North American bus models didn't really start gaining as much popularity on the simulator until then, so they're still outnumbered by European buses for the time being. But they're starting to catch up to the European buses as more participants create more simulations based on a US or Canadian transit atmosphere.:) In fact one guy who's developed some player made stuff going by the profile name MTA3306 has been working on Xcelsior buses. He started of on an a 40 foot standard, and from what I see of his YouTube videos he's now been working on an Xcelsior artic.

Out of boredom one day, I was troubleshooting OMSI 2 because of issues I was having where objects and textures didn’t load at all. The confusing part was that OMSI 2 was listing the add on as not activated, while the actual issue was not having the proper DLLs in the program folder. Copied them from the main Windows folder into the OMSI 2 folder and it’s fixed. :)

A big thank you to @jajuan for having the patience to steer me in the right direction when I announced the problem initially.

It was my pleasure. I recognized the symptoms from a similar problem I had after going through a free upgrade to Windows 10.

A few pics of my more recent forays with OMSI 2. The first five I'm in a DE40LF mod done on the 40 NF included in the Chicago addon. The rest I'm in a modded D40LF under different repaints.

These three are on the 102 express route in the Cayuga County map.

These two are as you can see on the 130 Museum Campus in the Chicago added on. (Imagine if the 7900s were DE40LFs instead of new gen Novas lol)

This one on the 126 express service in the Grundelphia map.

These two on the N1 night route in Winsenburg 2015. The livery is SF Muni's current silver livery. Muni never had New Flyers of the LF style. Their New Flyers are Xcelsiors.

This last one I just did tonight (Tuesday) on the 319 BRT service in the Cayuga map.

I'm glad to see you're enjoying the map and others as well.

Well the new map is basically a revamped version of the original developers first map Cayuga 0.5. He's since stepped away and handed the torch to me to release this map when completed. A majority of the map has several routes similar to CTA such as Rt.9,X9,12,49,54,54B,70,77,78,81W,91 and soon to be J14. Most of the scenery is similar to that of the Midwest and Chicago. Pictures speak louder than words so i'll leave a link to kind of give you a general idea of what the map looks like as a whole.

This is nice work. As you can see from my game screenshots, I have Cayuga 0.5. So I would love to see what your finished result turns out to be when you've completed it.

I'll definitely be looking out for the finished product. Do keep us posted. 

Well as a treat for Memorial Day I released the Beta yesterday for everyone to test out and give feedback so far there has been a few setbacks for new users but the veterans seem to like the map so far although I'm still working out the bugs as time goes along. Also here's a link to get the beta.

I downloaded the beta version that's currently available and have been testing things out the last couple days. I must say so far I've been finding it quite a nice expansion upon the original Cayuga. You've really made this your own with what you've done with it so far. I also noticed the original developer did his own upgrade and update the original. Anyway here is a pic of my test drive on the X35 in your work.
