To be perfectly honest, the amount of time I’ve spent with BS16 has dwindled to absolutely nothing.
FARMING SIMULATOR 16 UPDATE
I noticed earlier in the week that my Steam client downloaded a fairly large update to Bus Simulator 16.

But I will (now that the GPS is fixed) spend a little more time with BS16. Right now I’m really spending most of my gaming time playing American Truck Simulator ( I’ve opened a virtual trucking company) and Farming Simulator 15. I’ve disabled the cashier option and my bus company now requires either exact change, pre-paid bus passes or you can stand on the sidewalk. But the other item I’m almost equally excited about is the option to disable the cashier. This being either broken or poorly designed really had a significant impact on my realism through simulation. Of course, I’m truly most happy about the GPS fix. Sensitivity adjustments for keyboard steeringĬhanges for Nvidia graphic cards in laptopsĪbility to rename bus routes (name and number)Ĭurve Look (camera moves and follows as you turn into a curve) Increase angle limits of in-cockpit camera New Content: 5 brand new missions and decals This new update includes the following changes: This update (again released on 26 April) is the 3rd update made available to Bus Simulator 16 since it was released on March 2nd.
FARMING SIMULATOR 16 SOFTWARE
But after two months, on what I believe is the third software update made available to BS16, this issue has been resolved. So therefore, Bus Simulator 16 should have never been released. While SCS Software (the folks behind ATS and ETS2) certainly have some small bugs and quirks with their software…both ATS and ETS2 feature rotating maps. My Garmin, my Magellan and even my smartphone all feature an auto-rotating map so the arrow points up. There is no GPS on the face of the planet (that I’m aware of) that doesn’t auto-rotate the map and show the arrow always pointing up.

The issue with the GPS should have never made it to production. I’ve said this before, and I’ll go ahead and repeat myself now. Of course, I’m talking about the broken GPS functionality that StillAlive Studios FINALLY fixed with this update. However, the main reason why I only have 20 hours of time invested in this game is because of one issue which I viewed as a complete showstopper in my ability to balance realism through simulation. I understand some of the challenges development and support teams face in keeping customers happy and providing some balance between what can and can’t be done technically through software. As I’ve stated before, I actually work for a large software company. You know….I can (and often) overlook little bugs and quirks in a piece of software. Today, I’m actually very pleased to say that StillAlive Studios finally….fixed an issue which should have never been an issue at all in an update which they released on 26 April. However, I would like to direct your attention to the last entry from 7 April which discussed a previous update. If you so desire, you can read the content I’ve written about BS16. Since that time (2nd March), I’ve only accumulated 20 hours in the game.

The game features massive tractors and other machines from over 20 brands of agricultural manufacturers, including New Holland, Case IH, Ponsse, Lamborghini, Horsch, Krone, Amazone, MAN and more.I know I’ve been extremely critical of Bus Simulator 16 since it was released over two months ago.
