Fernbus Coach Simulator RELOADED - The biggest update yet for Fernbus Coach Simulator is now available!
Update 1.15 updates Fernbus Simulator to Unreal Engine Version 4.16.3. This should especially bring optimized loading times. We have intensively worked on the performance of the game and improved it in many situations. Starting with loading times, over lighting and shadow rendering, to overall improvements in frame rates. The SkyDome and lighting systems have been improved with the help of your feedback. Thanks to all for the amazing help! Adding to that, many cities have been updated and partially expanded. The update also includes the brand new city of Stralsund. We've put a lot of effort in proving the AI traffic and adding new features to it. The physics and sound systems of all coaches have been improved as well for a more authentic and realistic experience.
There have been a lot of minor and major additional improvements and fixes, which you can read through in detail in the patch notes.
We hope you will enjoy this update and an overall improved Fernbus Coach Simulator Reloaded!
