🚌 The Bus DLC – Hamburg City – News from the North
Things are moving forward at full speed!
Work on the new Line 7 for The Bus DLC – Hamburg City is in full swing.
This line will later be released as a free update, expanding the existing network with another exciting route section in the northern part of Hamburg.
🚧 Progress on All Fronts
Development is currently happening in multiple areas at once:
Roads are being newly laid, terrain carefully adjusted, and previously missing sections are being modeled.
The foundation for this work is the Geoportal of the City of Hamburg, which provides precise data on street dimensions, routes, elevations, and building positions.
This ensures the new route is created accurate down to the centimeter for the most realistic result possible.
Line 7 is divided into several segments being developed in parallel.
Step by step, these sections are now coming together – soon the entire route will be fully drivable!
🛠️ The Finishing Touches Begin
Alongside the main road construction, preparations for detailed polish are already underway:
Traffic Lights While simple intersections can be implemented quickly, complex junctions – which appear several times along Line 7 – require a lot of fine-tuning and attention to detail.
Lighting Numerous custom Hamburg street lamp variants are currently being integrated to authentically recreate the city’s distinctive atmosphere.
Traffic, Street, and Information Signs These are being created in many different versions and placed at their real-world locations.
AI Paths Precision is key here: the paths are continuously fine-tuned during testing to ensure smooth and realistic traffic flow.
