Scunthorpe V3, recreates the Town bus network in Scunthorpe, UK. Bus routes 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 22, 31, 31A, 32, 32A, 33, 34, 37 & 38 are included, with routes varying in length from 8 minutes , to 55 minutes. The map is a challenge to drive. Bus routes in Scunthorpe run mostly around the estates, rather than the main roads, which means lots of tight turns, narrow side streets, around various housing estates. The routes are:

@kopmania - It has purposely been built for a lack of passengers to reflect real life- I believe Notice that lots of people also get off at Ashby Broadway - Scunthorpe and Ashby are key areas in this map.

I like this map, its nice but only i dont like is that there is not so much ppls at stations
Flippy is correct, The passengers numbers I have tried to set, so that they are as close to real life as possible. Unlike some of the city maps that have been made for OMSI, Scunthorpe is a town where the private car is king. Buses are used mainly by those who cant drive, OAPs, or Students

Great map i like it a lot. But we need at least one night route, i like driving at night, so maybe you can make at least one night line? Would be really great!

Why? Map will be real as it is, we can only imagine that bus service company add one night route for passenger needs

Night buses dont exist in Scunthorpe, simply because there isnt the demand for them, although your are welcome to add one for yourself.
The real evening buses cannot yet be created because they cover areas of the map that havent been built yet (31A/32A), so the 33/34 have been added instead, as they cover most of the same areas. The last bus on route 6, in real life leaves at 6pm, with the last bus to anywhere leaving the bus station at 22:30 weekdays, 23:30 Friday & Saturday nights.

Thanks for sharing your work with us and your effort. I've already driven the v1 and the v2 looks quite great - I've done the 9 and part of the 33 so far.
It would be even better if you've made some own-made, typical from the area objects. One of the first thing would be to do at least a reskin of the bus stop signs.
I see the problem with the AI traffic is quite usual with round-abouts, but it seems to appear way too much in your map. My unschuled traffic is set to 218 and I got plenty of traffic jam. Would it be possible to lower the traffic density in the round-about areas for the next version ?

Thanks for your comment,
I am investigating a solution to the problem with AI traffic jams. The problem seems to be caused by 3 things:
1. Traffic entering the roundabout has right of way, so the roundabout is full of traffic waiting to turn off. If the right of way was for traffic on the roundabouts, there wouldnt be as much of a problem - The queue would be on the approach, but least would still keep moving!
2. I built the map with my AI traffic set to 50! It is only with you mentioning yours was set to 218 that I checked mine, as I hadnt altered since I set OMSI up for my PC back in March. I have now turned it up to 1000 - and watched the madness unfold before my eyes!
3. I have set all the roads (Except a couple where I found problems already) to the standard traffic density. I will look into keeping the main roads at the current level, but reducing some of the side streets, which should help things (and make it abit more realistic at the same time)
Would love a 'British' bus stop sign, but have been unable to find one, and dont have the skills to make one myself.

I know someone who has a English bus sign - on the other one
In mid-day the traffic is very little so the roundabouts are less clogged - ironically its the roundabouts on the 'dead' routes which are the worst for traffic. But if you hit F4, zoom out and pan far away from the location and then hit F1, the traffic will be cleared so ou can pursue ahead!

I have been working on the AI traffic, and made several improvements, mainly that, even with traffic set at 1000, no more jams on roundabouts! Several other improvements are also being implemented, before an update version being released within a week. To reduce problems with AI traffic in the mean time, I suggest turning your AI traffic down to 50 whilst running the map.
@ Flippy - I would be interested to know who has the british bus stop flag. I found an old post from 6 months ago where somebody was producing one, but it didnt seem to come to anything. I have sent them a message but so far havent had anything back.
Thanks

Nun ja... Manche Ecken sind nicht so gelungen. Zumal man doch sehr viel über leere Strecken fährt udn plötzlich in der nächsten Ortschaft landet.
Auch ist die KI ein wenig überfordert wie man an manchen Kreisverkehr sieht da sich die KI dort gegenseitig in die Quere kommt

First off Please write in English if you do not know English use a translator (Translate.Google.com) and you are not alone with these issues, i have experienced these issues myself, and with the AI there is no current work-a-round other than reducing your traffic settings.

Ah o.k. I´ll try to translate i in English.
Some places at the Map aren´t so good for the Bus. Its very hard to drive at some Villages cause the corners are very sharp and the Bus has to drive over the sidwalk to get around the corner or I must drive into the oncoming traffic to get the corner where the AI crashes into the Bus.
The next are the tracks between the villages. Some tracks are empty of trees or Houses or else.
And the Ai had much problems with the roundabout cause the cars are stand in their own way so they can´t drive and so on i can´t drive.
At Sundy I´ll take some Pictures and send them to you in an Private Message so you can see which problems I mean.
By the way. For me you mustn´t use the Google translator. I can read and understand English better than write in English.
