My suggestions

- Expand more on the graphics options, give the user the ability to change the screen resolution and the color depth of on the montier. This will give more FPS to those with lower speced PCs.

- The ability to cross-route a scheduled run. For example, the driver has a run to have him do 2-3 trips on the 92 from 9pm to 12:30, then the runs has him doing the remaining of the runs on the 13N. This will equate to an 8-hour day. Currently the runs on the 92 are some 15-16 hours long, why not divide those runs into two? just an idea, I know around here in the United States, drivers are permitted to work over 12 hours a day.

-When the bus is done deadheading back to Yard, have some type of notice coming up showing that the run has been completed.



just some ideas for the time being

I came up with an idea of creating rotas for cross-shifts, although it be done manually in terms of bus swaps but it will fit in with EU 9 hours driving legislation rules.

However it didnt pick up much popularity, so I didnt pursue it. If however people want it done like as you say, I will create such a feature using the timetables provided, and creating a form of shift with transfer points etc! Drivers shift duty and the running card belongs to the bus!

Exactly, relief points and whatnot.. It is a very minor thing, but I can not see bus drivers operating a bus for over 15 hours though.

Absolutely! I'll get creating some straight away now Ive someone interested. Anyone else who's interested, just mention it here, and I'll create more rotas!

The card you receive is Bus Card...it just sits in the same bus all day but there might be up to 6 different drivers of that bus per days. Bus drivers receive a Driver Card which tells which bus and where to get it from, and where and when to drop it off...and they pick up the rest of the timetable inside the bus on the Bus Card!" for those who didnt understand how most driver company systems worked and thought that drivers actually did 16 hour shifts lol!

i think it's a great idea. Doing real shifts. Would it be an add-on or a printable list/chart etc?

It will be printable to begin with. If i get one other person interested (and a lot more) I will start building some to the EU drive regulations!

Hi Flippy,

I know you done some similar good work for CBS2010 (on the Romford Map), so yes please, I would love a drivers rota card, stating which routes to take and when.

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour!

Dave.

I'm interested!

Finally someone has come up with something relly useful and intresting to OMSI...

Good job.. Keep up the good work

I am interested as well.
Keep up the nice work.

Hi folks,

I will be setting up the drivers rotas database tommorow, to upload rotas and edit them more easily.

Due to the update of Tuesday, I am holding back making major forwardings on the rota front in case the timetables change slightly with the update. However, when the update has arrived it will be full steam ahead (I already have notes in case the timetables dont change)

Tonight however I give you your driver number---which will make more sense tommorow!

Hi,

I have stated that tommorow a database website will be created with rotas. Here all your driver numbers will be displayed, and again it will made clearer on the website.

Am I getting the sense you are interested in rotas?

I hope so

Part 1

The website

Part 2

Rotas are being uploaded tonight, tommorow and so on. Any issues with rotas let me know. I have put everyone on at least one rota!

flippy can I be a driver please too?

You certainly can. I will place you on Rota B at the moment my friend.

Ok thanks flippy I dont get how the rota system will work exactly though? Is it to coincide with multiplayer features?

Flippy may i be a driver also? I love the idea! i dont have plitzdorf

I have now installed the update but where is the rota (driving card) ?

Hi guys,

a) Reinforcing an earlier post, it is a printable rota card (ie download a pdf file and print) and is currently NOT in the game.

b) I have got a new idea which mixes the Demo-Map, Berlin-Spandau and Pilzdorf together, so if you could PM, or post here (either new post or edit your previous application post), to mention if you do or do not have Pilzdorf, then I can come up with some more substantial rotas. Pilzdorf is available herehttp://download.omsi.cz/Pilzdorf%20map.rar

Flippy may i be a driver also? I love the idea! i dont have plitzdorf

I think its a good idea to support the Pilzdorf map and it has (for now) 6 routes so you shuld support it

Flippy may i be a driver also? I love the idea! i do have plizdorf map

But where can you fint the .pdf file?
