Lastly, I see that the driving physics are sub-par? Wow...That just killed any spark of interest I had in this game...  |
Not wanting to distract from the threads original title, just briefly:
Try OMSI. One of the best simulations of a "moving platform" (air-land-sea) that I know. Feels incredibly real, the sounds I cannot differ form reality (I know those busses, I lived in Berlin when those things rolled there), the feeling to actually drive something that big is very convincing. Braking, accelerating, gear changes - all like I experienced it in reality 25 years ago. Interface a bitr rough around the edges, but one gets used to it. Many modded maps available also. New version with flex busses coming this year. Many videos on youtube, quality of maps shown there varies.
I also tried, longer time ago, Bus and Cable Car Simulator San Francisco.

Big shame. All that nice modelling of a very big city, and then ruining it with that crappy gameplay and bad driving model. Some developers, so I sometimes think, do their design work while being on drugs.
