How do you play this game?

Tutorial sucks; no tool tips. How do I start this?

[david.artrex]

Read the manual.
And its not a game. Its a simulator.

There are YouTube videos just need to search, squirrel had some, sims & stuff as well

It's not easy but is worth persevering with, how far have you got so far?

[bolero3232]

Manual? Nobody reads the manual. (j/k, I will.) And I call it a game.

[bolero3232]

And yes, I've seen squirrel's video, but a while ago.

What's your problem? Driving the bus or getting passengers on board?

If you go to youtube and search the following videos - "OMSI 2 - Omsi 2 For Dummies - Episode 1 ( Introduction )" this is a good video for understanding the opening OMSI screen. then "OMSI2 - First Look - Part 1 of 2 (Bus Simulator)" was another video that helped me get started. There also video on the ibis that will help. Once you watch those you should find the process a lot easier. If you get the "Bus Company Simulator" DLC, which adds a career mode to the game that gives you the codes etc for the ibis and makes it easier to get going.

The most helpful thing would be tool tips. I know I'll remember all the buttons and switches eventually, but it's a problem as a new player. I'm not a programer or a dev, but I can't imagine this would be huge problem to incorporate.

If you have specific questions, just ask.

[bolero3232]

OK, I have a 'specific question'.... why can't the devs introduce tool tips? Is that better?

[david.artrex]

Cause Buses in real life also dont have popping up tool tips.
In general they have symbols on the switches, which are mostly self-explanatory. And you dont have to study semiology to understand them.

[bolero3232]

Yes, but as you've said, this is a simulator.... NOT real life. Also, I don't see 'self explanatory symbols' on the switches. If that were the case, I would not be asking for tool tips.

You've had nothing helpful to say, so I won't bother responding to your posts again.

[david.artrex]

So kind of you.

Ibis that is my down fall. I do love the game, I wish they could make the setup of the ibis for beginers easier. I don't play allot because I really want to just drive. I am just lazy, I know.
