: For beginners, the Grundorf tutorial map is recommended to learn basic physics.
: Accelerate with 8 (Num Pad) and brake with 2 (Num Pad). Steering is handled via 4 and 6 (Num Pad) or mouse-steering mode.
: Doors are often operated by / and * on the Num Pad. Note that some buses require the Station Brake ( - on Num Pad) to be active before doors will open. OMSI The Bus Simulator
Most buses require a manual startup sequence before they can move:
: Many maps are "period-correct." For example, on the Berlin Spandau map , setting the date between 1991–1994 is necessary to access specific lines like the 137. : For beginners, the Grundorf tutorial map is
: Wait 1–2 minutes for the air pressure gauges to reach at least 6-7 bar . The brakes and doors will not function until the warning lights go out.
: Usually 01 or 02 depending on the direction. This updates the external destination displays. : Doors are often operated by / and * on the Num Pad
: Ensure the transmission is in Neutral ( N ) ; the engine will not start in gear. Engine Start : Hold M until the engine catches.
