EPILEPSY WARNING

When playing over a long period, you should take a 15-minute break after every hour of gameplay. Please do not play when tired. Play in a well-lit room, and sit as far away from the screen as possible.

A very small portion of the population has a condition that may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or momentarily lose consciousness when they are exposed to certain kinds of flashing lights or light patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. Such people may experience seizures while watching television images or playing certain video games. Players who have not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

If you suffer from epilepsy, please consult your doctor prior to playing computer games. Please speak to your doctor immediately if you encounter any of the following symptoms while playing: vertigo, impaired vision, twitches or any kind of uncontrolled motion, loss of consciousness, disorientation, and/or cramps.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TIPS TO MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE
During the development of this addon, special attention was paid to making the best possible use of the computer‘s resources through optimized 3D models. The aim was to achieve the highest possible gameplay quality, both in the technical and visual sense. Nevertheless, it can happen that the performance is not always satisfactory, so here are some tips to improve it.

The stencil buffer effects, especially the display of shadows, consume the most resources. Therefore it is recommended to deactivate them completely. Furthermore, it has the advantage to set the neighboring tiles to a maximum of 2. Besides the graphical settings mentioned above, the surrounding traffic can also be set lower. 200 to 300 cars, 50% of the parking, are good values here. The same for pedestrians, here too the value can be reduced to achieve a better speed.

These settings can of course be set higher individually, depending on available resources. Just try a little bit with the values to get an optimal setting for your computer.

USING THE 4GB-PATCH FOR OMSI 2
If white areas appear in the OMSI 2 simulator on the buses, AI vehicles and other 3D objects, the computer‘s memory are heavily used. OMSI 2 is a 32bit application and accesses by default a maximum of 2 GB of the working memory, regardless of how much working memory the computer actually contains. To provide OMSI with more working memory (RAM), the so-called 4GB patch can be used. You can obtain this patch, for example, at www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php Please note that this patch must be reloaded when updating OMSI 2.

IMPORTANT: Please note that after each update or data check it may be necessary to reactivate the 4Gb patch.

THE OMSI2-ADDON IRISBUS INTERCITY PACK

Since the arrival of the new Irisbus range in 2006, these coaches have been on the road in France non-stop. From school buses to regional coaches, Irisbus has been able to export on an international scale, in particular thanks to its quality ratio, price, its ability to adapt to carrier requirements, and its longevity.

How would it be to drive these buses in their various versions now in OMSI 2? Discover the exciting collection of Irisbus coaches in OMSI 2.

This collection includes seven coaches in the range, ranging in length from 10.6 meters to 12.8 meters, with rich customization, ideal for your school or periurban trips.

Crossway, available in three lengths: 10.6 meters, 12 meters, and 12.8 meters.  Intended for the peri-urban line, they combine comfort and practicality.
Its luggage racks, seats with armrests, and reduced seating arrangement provide a comfortable and personal space for each passenger. Recreo, available in two lengths: 12 meters and 12.8 meters. Designed for school lines, they are optimized for maximum passenger capacity. With its light interior design and school-type seats, they will be perfectly capable of transporting schoolchildren in complete safety.

These coaches will be able to adapt to any type of mission, even in its 10.6 meters length: although it gains in mobility, the comfort dedicated to passengers remains the same.

Its High-Value version offers air conditioning and automatic transmission as standard.

Arway, available in one length: 12 meters.
Intended to make the regional line, it is optimized for passenger comfort. Ultra-comfortable reclining seats, passenger lights and individual air intake, double glazing, and air
