Preview of Update 4: New Driving Physics for Neoplan Skyliner
The main focus of the upcoming update will be the optimization of performance. However, we're also updating the driving physics of all busses in the games, both Fernbus Simulator, and Tourist Bus Simulator.



We've already updated the MAN Lion's Coaches driving physics and now we've completed the update of the Neoplan Skyliner too.

Preview of Update 4: New audio options
For the next update of Tourist Bus Sim, there will also be new audio options. So, you can adjust the sound volume of the engine, the indicators and much more.



Anything missing in the new audio options? You can tell us in the comments below.

Preview of Update 4: New Driving Physics for MAN Lion's Coach
We thought we share some news bits with you guys as the next updates for Fernbus Sim and Tourist Bus Sim are taking a bit longer than expected - but hey, that's, unfortunately, the usual case if your digging for performance improvements, they're like rare nuggets of gold. So far we've been able to stabilize the overall performance and improve it slightly. We'll keep on digging until we find the motherload.



Anyway, we read the forums here on Steam and Facebook and know that some of you still aren't completely satisfied with the driving physics. That's why we're beginning to overhaul our driving physics vehicle by vehicle for the next update. Of course, we've started with the MAN Lion's Coach.

Stay tuned for more Infos.
