Each bus type has between 1 and 18 different liveries to choose from. The registration/fleet numbers can be set according to the original numbers, so there is a total of 838 "real" buses.

I think OMSI just "won"!

Oh my God thats just amazing

I would never have thought anything like that !!!

Absolutely amazing indeed.

Yeah, everybody is "Oh wow, how superb"... And I'll go to the worse bit. How big is the download going to be with 838 (at least that's what Ruediger said) buses, pointing out there are 13 different versions and thus 13 different 3D files? All my vBus buses weigh 625MB already (that's 11 DIFFERENT buses, 7 of them with 1 livery, the rest with 2 liveries)...

Waitwaitwait...;-) I never said there would be 838 individual bus textures (one for each unique vehicle): The number/license plates are rendered in a seperate text-texture, so everything that counts are the different liveries per bus model. In fact you're able to choose between 838 induvidual buses, but that doesn't mean there have to be 838 different textures just for the different numbers. So the download will be approx. 700 MB.

Ruediger!!
Wait - if I create a bus model, can I specify the location of the bus' number and regs and then tell the program to use whatever font I want it to use and I only have to make 1 texture?

Exactly! So the bus bumbers are not part of the actual bus texture.

Finally, that's sorted out... I don't feel like carrying (on my laptop) 10's of bus textures that only differ by the fleet number and the reg (like vZTM, a real-life-like simulation of ZTM Warszawa - Warsaw's idea of current VBB)... Thanks!

O, by the way - I assume that I can't adjust ads for such a case? Ads must be part of the model, thus there must be a different skin? And if I want a bus number for a, let's say D89 that's used by a, say, SD83, will there be an error or will it go on?

Concerning the ads/liveries: Yes, these must be individual textures for each livery. So the number of different texture sets for one bus is the number of its liveries. And of course you can only select matching vehicle numbers. So all bus models from SD77 to D92 each have a list of "allowed" numbers.
