So, after we've launched Tourist Bus Sim a while ago we can finally release the latest update as a beta version to Fernbus Sim.
Most notably in this update will be the optimized loading times and the new weather effects. And as requested, we've added a new mode to the mouse control. But we have been fixing a lot of bugs too which were bothering the community and us as developers a lot.
Detailed information can be found in the Changelog below.
By testing this update and sending us your feedback you can make sure this update will be released smoothly and eventually with additional fixes too.
For feedback please use our forums at https://www.tml-studios.de/forum/index.php?thread/1951-update-1-20-beta/
ATTENTION: This is a BETA Update. Please note that this version can cause technical problems and/or may cause instability of your computer system.
