CONTENTSEPILEPSY WARNING
When playing over a long period, you should take a 15-minute break after every
hour of gameplay. Please do not play when tired. Play in a well-lit room, and sit as
far away from the screen as possible.
A very small portion of the population have a condition which may cause them to
experience epileptic seizures or momentarily lose consciousness when they are
exposed to certain kinds of flashing lights or light patterns that are commonly
present in our daily environment. Such people may experience seizures while
watching television images or playing certain video games. Players who have
not had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic
condition.
If you suffer from epilepsy, please consult your doctor prior to playing computer
games. Please speak to your doctor immediately if you encounter any of the
following symptoms while playing: vertigo, impaired vision, twitches or any kind of
uncontrolled motion, loss of consciousness, disorientation and/or cramps.

3. TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
TIPS TO MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE
During the development of this addon, special attention was paid to making the
best possible use of the computer‘s resources through optimised 3D models.
The aim was to achieve the highest possible gameplay quality, both in the
technical and visual sense. Nevertheless it can happen that the performance is
not always satisfactory, so here are some tips to improve it.
The stencil buffer effects, especially the display of shadows, consume the most
resources. Therefore it is recommended to deactivate them completely.
Furthermore, it has advantages to set the neighbouring tiles to a maximum of
2. Besides the graphical settings mentioned above, the surrounding traffic can
also be set lower. 200 to 300 cars, 50% of them parking, are good values here.
The same for pedestrians, here too the value can be reduced to achieve a better
speed. These settings can of course be set higher individually, depending on
available resources. Just try a little bit with the values to get an optimal setting
for your computer.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Unfortunately, due to the large number of different hardware and software
combinations, technical problems can sometimes occur when using our
software.
Please make sure that you use the latest drivers for your graphics and sound
card. In case of technical problems, please check the OMSI data via the Steam
software. This is the only way to ensure that no files are faulty or missing.
Updates are also transferred in this way so that the latest program versions of
the extensions are available. For more information, refer to the FAQs section of
this manual. Check the FAQs section of the www.halycon.de website to see if the
problem is already known. Most difficulties have already been reported and then
listed there or there is an explanation / help for the problem. If you cannot find
what you are looking for here, you can easily contact us using the contact form
on the website: www.halycon.de/kontakt.html .
We cannot offer telephone support or support via Facebook. In case of OMSI
startup problems we need the log file generated by OMSI at startup. This has the
name logfile.txt and is located in the OMSI main directory.
A very good way to get support is the OMSI Webdisk online page. This is an OMSI
forum by users for users. There you help each other and very competently:
https://reboot.omsi-webdisk.de .
TIP: If you are having difficulties, check the Halycon Media website
www.halycon.de under FAQs to see if this problem is known there.
The FAQs are constantly being expanded and frequently reported
problems are added to them.
4. FAQS – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Updates via Steam
If a steam update is
available, the transfer does
not necessarily take place
immediately, but the data transfer can also be scheduled for a later date. To get
an update immediately, which is available from Steam, please select the entry
„Downloads“ at the end of the list in the Steam menu „Library“. If you select
this entry, all upcoming downloads (including updates) will be displayed. On the
right side of the listed downloads you can see the scheduled time and a button.
If this icon is clicked, the immediate download will be performed.
Check Steam data
In exceptional cases, Steam products may have errors, the cause of which is
that not all data is correctly available on the computer. This can be caused,
for example, by an interrupted WLAN connection or a faulty data memory. In
this case Steam offers the possibility to check the data. To do this, select the
appropriate Steam program in the Steam library, in this case OMSI 2, display the
properties and select the entry „Check files for errors“. This process may take
some time, depending on how many OMSI Steam titles are installed and which
Internet line is available. If faulty or missing data is found, the Steam software
will initiate a data transfer of these files.
Which OMSI-AddOn version do I currently have on my computer?
The current version of the Halycon OMSI AddOns can be found in the respective
OMSI AddOn folder under ..\OMSI 2\AddOn\[product name]\ There you will find
a version file with the name of the current version, for example OMSI2-Irisbus-
Low-Entry_v1-02 for version 1.02 of the AddOn.

5. OMSI 2-ADDON IRISBUS FAMILY LOW
ENTRY BUSES
In the past, IVECO, the world‘s largest bus manufacturer, had various brands in
the bus sector. Until 2013, this included the Irisbus brand under which IVECO
marketed its buses. In 2006, IRISBUS launched its brand new Low Entry coach
series. It is based on the CROSSWAY chassis and has a low floor between the
doors and a high floor at the rear.
Intended for mixed and versatile use, these new coaches will now find many
opportunities for suburban and intercity operations in OMSI, the Omnibus-
Simulator.
Discover the low-floor buses from Irisbus now!
The OMSI2 add-on Irisbus Family Low Entry Buses introduces you to this
product line in its entirety, including 20 models, with countless customisation
options to get as close to reality as possible.
These coaches are offered in two versions, developed according to the missions
to be carried out:
CROSSWAY LE Urban
Available in three lengths: 10.6 m, 12 m and 12.8 m.
Equipped with special bus seats, these versions offer maximum freedom of
movement to ensure accessibility for all.
As these buses are available with different floors, number of seats and door
types, they can adapt to any urban or suburban use. The 3-door version will
optimise passenger flow on busy routes.
CROSSWAY LE SubUrban
Available in three lengths: 10.6 m, 12 m and 12.8 m.
Equipped with a floor that maximises seating capacity with Lineo seats and seat
belts, as well as luggage racks, they carry your passengers comfortably, safely
and easily.
We wish you a lot of fun with the Irisbus Family Pack - Low Entry

Using the 4GB-Patch for OMSI 2
If white areas appear in the OMSI 2 simulator on the buses, AI vehicles and
other 3D objects, the computer‘s memory is heavily used. OMSI 2 is a 32bit
application and accesses by default a maximum of 2 GB of the working memory,
regardless of how much working memory the computer actually contains. To
provide OMSI with more working memory (RAM), the so-called 4GB patch can be
used. You can obtain this patch, for example,
at www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
Please note that this patch must be reloaded when updating OMSI 2.
IMPORTANT: Please note that after each update or data check it may be
necessary to reactivate the 4GB patch.

7. QUICK START
When selecting the vehicle, choose one of the following manufacturers:
- „IRISBUS LOW ENTRY FAMILY (Urban)“, intended for urban lines.
- „IRISBUS LOW ENTRY FAMILY (SubUrban)“ for lines in suburbs.
You can now select the vehicle (type). There are different lengths, door
arrangements and production years (called „phase“).
Each model is described with the following syntax:
Name (Urban / SubUrban) - Length (10/12/13) - Door arrangement
(1-2-0, 2-2-0...) - type.
After you have selected the type, the appearance (Repaint) can be selected.
Make sure that the .hof file „{MapName.hof}“ matches the selected map. You
must then select a location for the placement.
Switch to the driver view with [F1]. Start the electrical system [E] and the engine
[,]. Engage gear [D] (automatic transmission), shift into first gear and release
the clutch (manual transmission) and release the parking brake [/]. Depending
on the air pressure in the system, the bus will now start to roll and you can
accelerate and steer.
At night, you should switch on
the headlights [L/F] and light
up the interior [8] [9].
When the passengers are
to board the bus, you must
programme display matrix
that shows the final stop of the
service you have chosen.
This is done via the IBIS
matrix controller or via the
menu „92E“.
Important for creators, in the folder \ OMSI 2 \ Addons \
Irisbus-Low-Entry \ you will find a repaint guide as well as a
SETVAR list to configure the individual equipment.
