OMSI - Bad Kinzau - Ikarus 260 - Manual Transmission

This is a quick video showcasing my most recent acquisition for OMSI, the Hungarian Ikarus 260.
Of interest is that the Ikarus 260 is one of the few buses in OMSI that has a manual transmission option; this is certainly more challenging when carrying out passenger runs in OMSI. In this video, I run through a basic startup and quick drive around the block; nothing too special (for now).
Note that at the start of the video, I had low air brake pressure meaning that the brakes had not released as quickly as hoped, and this also caused one or two stalled starts as I tried to takeoff against the applied brake - admittedly I was being a bit careless and partly wanted to show off the drivetrain physics that OMSI has...I'm not really that terrible at driving manual. ;)
Most starts on level ground (and especially with an empty bus) can be performed in 2nd gear; 1st is much too low and can be considered a 'granny gear'. Also coming along for the ride is TrackIR 5 and a Logitech G27 combo (which includes a clutch pedal), all of which makes driving a manual bus so much more realistic.
Also note I have made a custom repaint for the 260 as shown in this video (including repainting some of the interior parts, "Safety First", etc); the repaint is not currently available for download in case you're wondering...it's just for a bit of fun. :)
P.S. The obligatory: "This is not my bus!" (i.e. I did not create it)...and that big scratch down the left hand side of the bus...that was one of 'other' learners...I swear...

Check out the Ikarus 250.93 with the YaMZ diesel engine on my channel; the video is called 'OMSI - Bad Kinzau - Ikarus 250.93 Familiarisation [HD 1080]'. I think you'll like the engine sound from that a little better ;). Thanks for watching!

Wow.. Good to know such things exist. Thanks :)

[@HarmanMotorWorks]

Thanks for the comment. That cabin camera movement is courtesy of TrackIR head-tracking hardware by NaturalPoint Inc. Just do a Google search for it. :) Cheers.

Yes it's a bit quiet, but I still think that the sound is rather close to the original. The exhaust though should have been at the back and not at the side. But no big deal. Very good video. I really liked it.

Thanks for watching! I do not believe that there is an automatic version of this bus unfortunately. My PC has an i7 2700k Sandy Bridge, GTX 570 and 16GB RAM.

And what's with the cool cockpit camera movement?

[@qinsyte]
