2: Interior light: Level 1: Half light / Level 2: Full light
3: Driver's seat light: unlike most buses, in the Iveco the lamp above the driver's area does not turn on when the parking light is active. For manually activating the driver's workplace lighting, the symbol with the steering wheel is clicked, for illuminating the area when the door is opened, the switch must be at the door position.
4: hazard warning lights
5: ASR
6: Retarder
7: Engine start / stop: With the Iveco it is regulated so that the starting process can be completed either completely exclusively by means of the ignition lock, alternatively also as soon as the ignition was activated over the lock the engine can be turned on or off even with this key.
8: Rotary light switch
9: stop brake
10: Kneeling: Bus descends to the door side as soon as the button is pressed and one of the doors is opened. As soon as the door is closed, the vehicle will return to normal.
11: Lifting the Carriage: Raise the car body by a few inches.
13: School driving switch: If this is activated, the hazard warning lights will light up. These are switched off by pressing the button again, or alternatively the indicator is set to the left.
14: Gear selection button. Sets the gear. To change gear, the service brake must be completely passed through.
15: Door switch. Opens according to the inscription corresponding door.
16: Combination lever: Sets indicator, windscreen wiper, horn or similar.
1: Electric front blind. Depending on the tilting direction of the button, the electric front blind is raised or lowered.
2: fans
3: roof hatch front
4: roof hatch rear
5: Spring brake valve: releases the parking brake
Heating panel
The heating control takes place here as follows.
The heating control unit is switched on with the button (1).
With (2) the auxiliary heating could be activated.
(3) activates the circulating air.
With (4) and (5) the blower level is set. The fan cools the bus down a bit. (Does not have the effect of air conditioning!)
Use (6) and (7) to set a temperature between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius, to which the bus heats up if the temperature is below the set number of degrees.
In the fast bus variant, the bus is cooled down to the temperature, in the normal lack of air conditioning not.
Attention: Blower and heater can not run at the same time!
Ticket printer / IBIS
As a ticket printer, as mentioned, the Almex Optima CL is installed.
Most features of the printer are self-explanatory, so here's just the essentials.
The registration takes place with the following data:
Fahrernummer: 6924
Pin: 5173
The line input is in the following format:
Line number: 07600
Journey number (= route): 01/02
etc.
(Example here is the line 76 from Grundorf, but I think it's self-explanatory.)
Points of interest can be selected by clicking in the various menus.
A destination input (ziel) is not possible, you need to use the OMSI Alt destination tool.
MAN Lion's City A20 (V3D)
Getting started
To start the bus press E to enable the electrics and then hold M to start the engine. It won’t
start if the gearbox is in any other gear apart from neutral (The display will notify you). Either
press D or rotate the gear selector to ‘drive’ (With brake pedal pressed) and release the
handbrake on your left hand side (Or with . ) To open and close the doors press - for the front
and = for the rear. The stop-brake is not required in this add-on for the doors to operate.
NB. Take a look at the dashboard guide (Below) to help you navigate the various buttons.
Using the ticket machine
It’s very easy use without programming any timetabled journeys. If you are at a stop and
front door is open you will be shown the ticket menu by default. Choose an appropriate ticket
and print!
If you wish to see the next stops on your journey then simply program in your route and
journey information from the main menu using the LINE/COURSE (eg. 07600) and ROUTE
(eg. 1) options. Automatic announcements will only play if you are running to timetable.
A LAWO information display is installed in the saloon and will echo the next stops on your
timetabled journey.
Dashboard Guide
Known problems
There are some issues you may experience during the course of play that are expected due
to the nature of the game or the limitations of my expertise in scripting. Some of those are
listed below:
- Gear display freezes or disappears when prompted with an error, such as F uel Low.
A work around is to press the Cycle Error Messages button until it clears, fill tank with
fuel or use the game menu to repair the bus. - Snow flake icon doesn’t go when electrics are turned off.
- The outside body textures appear white or black. It seems you may have low
graphics memory. Re-start the game and/or install the 4Gb patch to increase
available memory to OMSI2 - Low FPS once the bus is loaded. I have played many hours in OMSI2 and rarely get
below 30fps. If I do it’s usually the fault of the game and a full game re-install usually
fixes the issue. Having said that I do have a mid-range gaming setup but it may
perform poorly on low-end systems, such as laptops with integrated graphics cards.
MAN Lion's City A21/A37 (V3D)
General operation
Once your bus has loaded you can go ahead and press 'E' to turn on the
electrics and then 'M' to start the engine. Engage first gear by pressing 'D',
remember to press down on the foot-brake first or it won't engage. Most other
controls are standard or as mapped on your particular installation but further
information can be found by referring to your OMSI2 manual.
Once you're moving I'm sure you'd like to pick up some passengers but for
realism there a few things you might like to check out first.
Depending on the time of day and year you should set the air conditioning to
either auto for cooling or fan for gentle heating. The Spheros controller is
located above your head and provides you with cabin temperature display. Be
sure to keep an eye on it so your customers don't complain.
You'll need to light the passenger saloon, keys 8 and 9 should work by
default, but you can also use the buttons on the dashboard.
Doors can be operated by pressing minus for the front and F12 for the rear if
required (These doors operate automatically when passengers want to
leave). Remember to turn on the bus-stop brake first or the doors won't work.
Use the Backspace key or the button on the dashboard with H in a circle.
Please note that certain buttons are obscured by the steering wheel, click the
steering column with the mouse and the wheel will vanish. Click once again to
bring it back.
To start your first route you'll need to set the display on the iBIS controller,
also located above your head. First click Line and enter 07600 (Using
Grundorf route 76 as the journey) and click Enter. Next you need the journey
number. Click Route and enter either 1 or 2 depending on your direction and
once again click enter. You should see the information on your matrix display
now and passengers will want to hopefully board your bus.

How to start the bus?
1. Turn on the electrics (default: “E” or use your mouse on the key)
2. Insert the card in the tachometer. It is located under the door switches. A simple click will do.
3. Wait for the glow plugs to heat up (heating up is indicated by a symbol lighting up on the main panel, between the gauges)
4. Start the engine (Default: “M” or use the switch)
5. If the air pressure is too low, wait for a bit, you might as well rev the engine for a while.
6. Deactivate the parking brake.
7. Fasten your seatbelt by clicking on the buckle on the upper left side of the driver’s seat! You can unbuckle it by pressing the button on the lower right side of the driver.
8. Put on the 1st gear and you’re ready to go!
Known issues
1. The mirrors may lag a bit, because the rearview camera requires a huge radius to render correctly. If you want them to work smoothly, you can delete the last [add_camera_reflexion_2] entry in the *.bus file, but you won’t be able to use the rearview camera.
2. In MAN Lion’s Coach L, the camera sometimes doesn’t render the body of the bus. This is a limitation of the game, and unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do about it
3. If you’re experiencing lagging, try to decrease the size of some of the textures, especially interior.tga. Remember though to maintain dimensions ratio and use size that is a square of two (2048, 1024, 512, etc.)
4. On steep inclines you might experience some lagging of the engine. I recommend turning off ASR and changing gears at higher RPM, and you should be fine.
5. If you’re having trouble with putting the bus in gear, meaning that when you engage the 1st gear and the symbol on the main display flashes for a brief moment and then immediately turns to neutral again you need to go to “Inputs/gamectrler.cfg” and check if any other steering wheel aside from yours is activated. Just look for a "1" under the name and change it to “0”.
Solaris Electric Family
Sometimes the game bugs out and you can't get the bus to move. In that case you need to de-spawn the bus and spawn in again through the OMSI ingame menu (you won't get any penalty in BCS for this)
