A new version of the popular Hamburg City map for The Bus is now available on Steam.
The focus of this update is an important new feature:
AI buses are now operating in Hamburg as well.
Implementing this feature turned out to be significantly more complex than expected. Every single AI bus was tested on all available routes. Whenever issues occurred, a detailed analysis followed, the suspected cause was corrected, and only the next version showed whether the problem was truly resolved.
Section by section, all critical spots were refined until every bus could operate reliably. With the AI buses now available on routes 6 and 17, Hamburg’s city traffic now feels noticeably more lively and even more authentic.
The update also includes the previously announced new repaints of Hamburger Hochbahn.
A special highlight is the repaint of the white E-Citaro, featuring numerous employee signatures. This has been faithfully recreated to deliver a highly authentic impression.
Also included:
Several smaller improvements, including adjustments to the behavior of passengers, pedestrians, and AI traffic.
