Bus driving simulation software ??
-
I'm looking out for any bus/coach driving simulation computer program, may or may not be in the form of a game. Anyone knows of the existence of any & where to buy & price ?
Currently there's many such gaming software on cars mainly, covering rallies, street races etc. A few on trucks too so what about the buses & coaches ?? -
So far, there is no such thing. The most that bus fans around the world (HK/US/UK/SG) depend on is Midtown Madness 2....dat is as close as it gets....the game has only the Routemaster and a Chicago citybus... but one can download other buses made by bus fans using a program called zmodeller...i dont noe how to use it...if i did, i would have designed our local buses....
Local buses available that i saw were the LO2x and the VOLVO B10m bendy both in the SBS livery.
The rest of the buses are the london, eastern europe buses and HK's NWFB, KMB, CMB, KCRC....most using the same model as singapore buses. -

Midtown Madness 2 is the only game I've known to include city buses among the vehicles of choice. Other vehicles can be easily downloaded and stored so that you will eventually have an impressive garage. Unfortunately, this game was released a long time ago and many sites offering free add-on downloads have closed down.
You can really enjoy being a London bus driver but there are 2 things that irritates me the most.
1. The traffic lights turn red very quicky. You will find yourself stopping at every junction (if you're the 'as real as it gets' type). And depending on the traffic intensity you chose, you will have to wait until the second or third round before being able to pass.
2. If you decide to be a 'safety conscious' bus captain, forget about it. No matter how hard you try to prevent your bus from hitting objects, some looney driver will always crash his car into you. To make things worse, it will blare its horn and make some stupid remarks as if you are at fault. Sometimes, I get so fed up I abandoned my 'duty' and ploughed into every car in sight, laughing as the inferior vehicles tumbled and rolled under the runaway B10TL, before finally plunging into the Thames.
This game don't require a CD to run. If you can't find it anywhere to buy it, all you need to do is borrow the CD from someone who has the game and install it. -
unfortunately the game is on PS2... so sad...Originally posted by pie:

It is possible to design and make local buses to play in mm2.....m tryin to design...n a friend of mine is also tryna make one...
-
theres also midtown madness 3..only available on xbox..i have that..but u cant design any new buses or stuff cos its xbox not PC..there are 2 buses available for selection which are the Washington DC and Paris citybus..i duno what models they are though..no description at all..their steering radius is very bad too..if u can send them to singapore..they will be running up the kerbs every now and then..haha..

Try Midtown Madness 3..only avail on xbox....the traffic lights timing seems to be improved...only downside is there is no tacho....and the auto gear is very slow...use manual and its not very hard....the (!) sign will come out when u have to upshift......If you use manual, by the time u upshift to the last gear when the (!) sign come up u can hit up to 140km/h...which is the bus top speed......can also hit 160km/h+ which is the last digit on the speedo if u go down a slope(best one is the one at Paris highway)Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Midtown Madness 2 is the only game I've known to include city buses among the vehicles of choice.

the_bus_guide had it. ask from him. -
any1 can lend mi or sell mi the CD for installation...im tired of the trial version
-
My favourite DD...Scania N113.....designed by a normal bus fan....a brilliant bus....real sounds, tuning, excellent steering control...
will try to put up more pics soon......mods, i'm begging u guys not to close this topic like u did to the previous one.....this time, there is no burning of cd or passing around or trading or anything...thanks....cos some of us myt not get the chance to drive a bus when we get older..... -
The game can be played without cd and i can actually lend it to anyone who is tired of playing the boring trial version...no doubt mm3 is brilliant but it still has no pc version or else, one can design buses...local buses that is....
anyone noes how to design a bus using zmodeller or any 3d modeller?
