Welcome back to Bowdenham V2!

Bowdenham V2 is a fictional map set in the UK and provides 6 new routes along with the previous 22 routes.
This map should not affect your OMSI installation, but it is always best to backup your OMSI installation before installing Bowdenham V2.
Unzip the file to your desktop, copy the OMSI file into your m-r-software file.

Please fully read all the documents provided with the download.

Again, you are recommended to make a back up of your OMSI installation and any built in content that is affected by mods.
A number of add-ons have been used within this map and have been included in the download.
Included in this pack is my own reskin of Marcel and Rudgers bus stops into a UK Intalink livery.

OMG !!! THANK YOU !!!

[Freeman1001]

Im Excited, Im going to be playing all night long!!!! - Thank you.

[londonmale2011]

downloading now but be playing tomorrow as need sleep lol

[adrian]

Thanks very much Dazza! Downloading now and will have a play in the morning!

[dazza1980]

I here that!

Ill be around for another half hour or so, but I will be around all day tomorrow to support the map.

[Leemers]

Do you need all the repaints to be able to run the map or are they optional?

[dazza1980]

If you dont download or have the repaints, OMSI should just replace them with any of the default or any reskins you already have installed.

So they are not essential and the map should still run without any issues.

[Leemers]

Ok thanks mate, looking forward to testing this map in the morning.

[gneb]

Just driven the X52 and 523 and FANTASTIC ! One of the best maps I have ever diven on ! Love it !

Keep up the "can`t find words" work !

[Freeman1001]

I drove the 520 - yes this is probably the best map Ive ever played and so much more to see. No problems to report - fps is reasonable gets a bit low in places but it is playable.

time to take the 521 back towards Apsely station.

[David R]

downloading now but be playing tomorrow as need sleep lol

+1

But downloading and very much look forward to trying the map

[David R]

...couldn't resist a quick drive, so took the N52.....

...... what an exceptional map!!!! ......absolutely brilliant, and clearly a labour of love for you Dazza. Absolutely pushes the bar.... stunning!

[adrian]

Looks awesome, but having some errors and weird issues at the moment...

Missing scenery objects on load:
...\mauer\mauer.sco
...\Kreuz_MC\haltebucht.sco

Both those folders are present in my Sceneryobjects folder, but the actual .sco files are missing.

Missing spline on load:
...\Dortmund\invis_sidewalk.sli

Again, the appropriate folder seems to be present, but the actual .sli file is missing.

Error message on load:
There is at least one invalid track entry: 460 to AYBS, Nr4!

General problems:
I tried doing the 520 and the 521, but can't select a timetable - there seem to be no entries, other than the words Stagecoach and SYT. Tried going to different times and days etc, but still get no timetable data.

And lastly, when I enter line number 52000 or 52100 respectively, 520/521 come up on the destination display ok, but as soon as I select the route (01), it changes to M20/M21... Not sure if it should be doing that?

The .hof file is present and correct and I'm making sure I select it when loading a bus, so not sure what's happening here or why.

Any help with the above would be much appreciated... Sorry in advance if any of the above is just me being a bit dim!

[GeordieBloke]

Similar to Adrian, I get missing objects: Jan Kiesewaller\crash_barrier.sco
Mauer\Mauer.sco

and the invis_sidewalk.sli spline apparently also missing.

Still runs ok though and first impressions are very good indeed! Never actually drove yet, just been driven around by the AI!

Edit:
I also seem to have trouble selecting a route! Couldn't get the nightbus to load, no matter where I loaded it from or what time of the night it was. Will try a daytime route tomorrow to see if it works!

Wow, this map is really wonderful! I just drove lines 520, 524 (i like that spot where you must turn your bus in the parking lot) and X52. Now i must go to sleep (time is here 05:37 ) and when i wake up i gonna start computer and test some 9x* - lines.


* in this case x mean some number example 9x = 94.

[JayKae]

I will be playing this on my laptop on the plane tonight

[dazza1980]

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the kind words!!

Those that are having problems, I shall be having a look now and hopefully will post a solution for you.

[smiler52]

hi there i have something odd going on here and not to sure if its normal so here goes when im doing route 520 i put the ibis code in 52000 and on the outside of the bus it shows up as 520 as it should do but as soon as i put route 01 in the ibis code keeps changing to 52028 and on the out side it shows up as M20 but apart from that its all good thanks

[dazza1980]

I have uploaded a small hotfix that includes a couple of missing sceneryobjects and splines.

http://www.mediafire...qhzgbewh8rr5bfg

This should also solve the invalid track error that occurs.

Im not sure but I d0 remember reading somewhere that OMSI has poblems when entering a 3 three digit number such as 520 or 521. As such, when you have entered the route number the line number changes to M20 or M21 and so on. To combat this, simply re enter the line number after the route number.

So

enter line number (52000, etc)
enter route number (01,02 etc)
then re enter line number (52000, etc)

If anyone is aware of a fix for this, please let me know!!

Im not sure why people cant select a timetable, all I ask is, please try installing the hotfix and see if this makes any difference.
Also, try loading the map without busses selected on the start menu.
