This is brilliant. I picked this up some time ago and tried to teach myself, to moderate success but you covered so many elements that remained unclear to me, until watching this. Thanks Stringbean! More videos of this helpful nature would be welcomed
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad it helped and hopefully others who might be new to OMSI. There aren't many English speaking OMSI players on TH-cam that go into much detail about setting up which I know I could of done with when I first started.
Hey Stringbean, Good video. Not many English speaking OMSI players out there making tutorials for beginners. This would have helped me a lot when I first started out playing the game. 😎
Great tutorial video, this will help a lot of people when they first get the game, they will miss the navigation if the get the base game lol, I would hate to go back to the arrows, I got lost so much
haha,..Same here, there's no way I'd like to go back to the arrows for directions which can even be confusing themselves sometimes if there are many routes crossing various junctions. Default Spandau is still actually a favourite map of mine and I think I could do it without the GPS or arrows now that I've done it that many times since owning OMSI.😄
Hi, Great video for beginners, its good you went into such detail, key pushes etc and details about selecting the route, love to see more beginner tutorials like this one, please, thanks.
Best video I’ve seen on this. The game is complicated. I struggled to get the bus to move for ages. Turned out I hadn’t inverted the brake axis on the pedals so the brake was set to 100% Interested to know how you managed to get the game running so smoothly and looking pretty tidy.
Thanks very much for the comment and support. Yes, OMSI is complicated and does have a learning curve. Even now I sometimes have to keep referring to my various text notes I make with all my DLC addons because I just forget how to drive the buses and set up the IBSI machines. I do suffer from the usual stutters that OMSI throws at us but the default Spandau usually plays quite nice for me. As for the graphics, I may do a quick video when I get time showing my graphic settings in the nVidia control panel.
@@Stringbean421 a graphics video would be ace. My machine is a potato but runs ETS2 very nicely. I have the wheel, pedals, farm panel and a Tobii 5 all working with omsi and Ets2. The hard bit for me is getting the route right so people get on the bus. And selling tickets in German!
Hi , thanks for the video .. was trying to set up the game last night on my gaming laptop.. for some reason it won't allow me to look around in the driver cabin for example .. I was wondering do I need a mouse? I've plugged in my xbox controller and it's just not working
if I remember correctly, you can use the left/right arrow keys on a keyboard to look left and right. Using a mouse to pan around would be better. I have no idea about xbox controller as this is geared towards a PC set up.
@@abecent-h8t yes i just discovered that too and was just about to post that myself although reading a review about what you need to do put me off buying it. thanks for replying
Sorry I missed your comments guys, you know what YT is like, I don't always get notifications. But yes, you already figured out that it's OMNI Navigation. For those that don't know, the OMSI Addon, Bus Company Simulator (BCS), also comes with OMNI Navigation built into the program, often referred to as the mini-map.
You should find the manual and all other documents in the Steam Apps folder. Default path would be C/Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/OMSI-2/docs. Assuming you installed Steam on your 'C' Drive.
When in game, bring up the small box menu that appears in the bottom right-hand of the screen. You do this by clicking the ALT key on your keyboard. You see the option for steering wheel or mouse and keyboard. Hope this helps.
Hi,..I use a steering wheel and pedals but you can use the mouse for acceleration when moving forward and turning left and right, and even for reversing. You move the mouse on your desk forward or back. Hope that helps.
You need to select the correct year for the route you wish to drive. You will see how I did this at the beginning of the video. Also, if you go into the games main folder, on your hard drive, you will see a folder called, 'docs'. Here you will find a PDF map, which I also show in the video, which shows the years that the route numbers are available on. There are some other PDF documents along with a manual. Hope that helps.
@@Stringbean421 I mean the other route number that selects the destination. Aftee you type in the route 137 in the machine you type another number which is 02. But I just want to know how you did that.
@@sensor3dd If you look in the PDF manual, and jump to page 72, there is a list of all the destination route codes along with the Line numbers. It's all shown in my video too how to enter them.
Hi, the GPS Minimap is an addon DLC for OMSI available on Steam. It's called, OMNI Navigation.

Sorry, I don't know why you are getting an error. If you have follwed the tutorial correctly then you should have no error. You can also go to the OMSI discussion forums on Steam and get some help from there if you need it. Thanks.

That's correct, this is the map OMSI comes with and is around 1990.
Briliant vid
Thank you.
Great video. Please can we have some more beginner's guides!
Thanks for your comment. I can't promise anything just now but I'll certainly bare it in mind.

i'd like to know that too
@@HalStargazer i just found out its called omni navigation. you can buy it of steam for i think 6 or 7 pounds (i said pounds bc im british)
@@abecent-h8t yes i just discovered that too and was just about to post that myself although reading a review about what you need to do put me off buying it. thanks for replying
@@HalStargazer Hey! I just found out on steam it costs £ 8.99 but on CD keys its £6.39.

Hi , is there any chance you can attach links for the pdf manuals and map posters you used ?
You should find the manual and all other documents in the Steam Apps folder. Default path would be
C/Program Files(x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/OMSI-2/docs. Assuming you installed Steam on your 'C' Drive.
Hi, great video! Can you please share PDFs you got, thanks.
Hi,..you can find the PDFs inside a folder called, docs, which can be found inside the main OMSI folder in your Steam games Directory.
how do I steer the bus I tried with my mouse and keyboard and nothing works ;(
When in game, bring up the small box menu that appears in the bottom right-hand of the screen. You do this by clicking the ALT key on your keyboard. You see the option for steering wheel or mouse and keyboard. Hope this helps.
Hi, just a quick question. What are the controls for the bus to go forward (acceleration), left, right etc?
Hi,..I use a steering wheel and pedals but you can use the mouse for acceleration when moving forward and turning left and right, and even for reversing. You move the mouse on your desk forward or back. Hope that helps.
Thank you, that’s just helped me out a lot.
do u buy it from steam edition
i can't find route 137

Hi idk how to like move my bus bc if i click on w i can't drive help me pls thx
You have to use the mouse to drive the bus. Push the mouse forward and your bus will move. Make sure to press 'D' for drive.
Or drive by num 8.
hello can u pls tell me how do u get the minimap opened on the left????

11:00 where did you get the pdf map
Hi, the maps come with the game.
Help, the start, tutorials, options, and close omsi buttons aren't there
Not sure why that is happening to you as I've never come across that issue. Maybe check with someone over on the OMSI support forums on Steam.
@@Stringbean421 Alright, I will try to contact omsi and see what the problem is
Also, i don't need help anymore, i've fixed it
You have to change your resolusion it happend to me
10:40 yea i click 02 and sent me error i try 01 and again error pls help
Sorry, I don't know why you are getting an error. If you have follwed the tutorial correctly then you should have no error. You can also go to the OMSI discussion forums on Steam and get some help from there if you need it. Thanks.
how you do remove the steeringwheel and get it back?
Click the steering column below the wheel removes it (with mouse) and clicking it puts it back
Hello, i have a issue. I cant play the game because the buttons like play and others are not displaying and can't exit fullscreen.
Same if you find out please let me know.
same
I found out
You need to change the resolution or size to smaller
ok thanks, it works now
How do u get in the bus
I think it's F1 if I remember correctly. The other F keys, like F2 and F3 are other camera views.
