Despite the game's infinite amount of flaws (horrible optimization, frequent texture issues etc...), it's still the most realistic and, in my opinion, the best bus simulator available (a huge improvement from OMSI 1 if I may add). It provides decently large modding capabilities with a huge modding community that make the game a lot better.

Even though this is the most realistic bus simulator available, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone who is just looking for a relaxing simulator game. This game is more made for hobbyists and bus driving enthusiasts who really want to experience realistic bus driving and are willing to sit through countless hours mastering it, even if the game runs barely above 40fps on the newest PC builds and the AI cars being broken to the point where they're considered barely worth something. Definitely consider buying this game (preferably during a sale) if you're one of these people.

what map were you playing
i have an i5 7400 3ghz quad core + amd radeon rx 460 2gb ddr5 and it ran fine (well, if you think 40fps is fine) even on the more demanding maps, though i did use one of the pre-made configs the game was packaged with because of the stock settings being absolute garbage

also you're kinda right about the potato performance, like i said even with a NASA computer your game will barely run on some maps if demanding enough, this is due to OMSI 2's prehistoric unoptimized 32bit engine, this game is for the people that really really really want to drive buses as accurate to real life as possible

well i got omsi 2 and i ran it at the standard settings and i got 20fps on a 6700k 4.6ghz and gtx 1080 ti FE..................

SO i refunded until it's playable on cutting edge hardware lol

from the laggy 2-3 minutes i played it felt pretty good

sure!

if you're not entirely sure whether to get omsi 2 or not, there are a ton of gameplay videos and reviews on youtube that might change your mind

you can also try the game and later refund it if it turns out it's not quite what you're into (provided that you spend less than 2 hours on it and 14 days don't pass after the purchase, but you can still submit a request even if you missed the requirements)

so wait wait wait

CAN I, like in real life, inertia drift a bendy bus down a steep series of corners? :D

i love proper simulators like beamNG drive

it's on sale right now and i have a bus fetish that can't be itched by what i've played so far
