​

Note

• To use the hybrid variant, please make sure you have the Arcanox Core installed.
• Before reporting any issue, please clear the cache as well as disable other mods (except for the required mod) and see if the issue persists.

Known issues (as of version 3.1)

• Since the 0.28 game update, the hybrid version may not work after spawning even with Arcanox Core installed. Reloading the bus (ctrl+R) should make it working again. (Should be fixed in version 3.1)
• If the engine of the hybrid version is turned on using the V key, the engine will turn off again after releasing the key. Please use the engine start button on the control panel instead.

Wentward or Doyler Capsule?

 

Awesome mod, finally something different than American Busses especially since you can use this as a coach, driving it thru Italy is a lot of fun, it just drives very nicely and likes sharp turns, it's insane how well it manouvers in very narrow streets like the Tokyo map. I like the modern design as well, looks like the Hong Kong busses.
It's also nice to see powerglow getting some love, something the devs don't seem to do anymore.

• the Jatos have no textures as well for me
• removing the last axle and driving leads to massive artefacts and spikes
• a lot of the glass especially in the upper level seems to be wobbely and likes to flex like thin metal sheets instead of being stable and then breaking
  
• the roof seems to be very soft and getting stuck one side window deforms basically the whole bus, don't know exactly what's going on with it, but eg. hitting the rear of the high roof very hard will deform the front end as well, maybe that's caused by the weird glass behaviour
  
• you don't look out of the driver window when turning around in the drivers cam, looking into the passenger area works, but that's only a minor inconvinience
• it likes to spawn into walls when pressing insert, but I think that is a game issue

Keep up the good work!

 

Maybe too big for the game to handle

 

As I understand it, Capsule is a model, but I have a question, does this bus have a brand?

 

Suggestion - add a hybrid version

 

This bus is the best thing i've ever driven, 15min around the nurburgring!

 

I would love to see skins this is one of if not the best mod ever all the details are incredible!

 

this thing is massive, and fun!

 

It is hybrid I think

 

I do have ONE suggestion though, A single-decker version

 

Suggestion - make a non double decker version of it called the "pill"

 

Now it sounds like some medication but pretty cool idea lol

 

this mod is awesome , the ride quality is perfect even in offroad and it made me wonder if you could make an amphibious variant like this one [ ].

 

I don't believe a double decker would be very stable in water, probably constantly tipping over, but why not

 

Man, an insane config like that would be cool. But probably means reworking the entire thing. Lol

 

As I said in the review, huge congrats on the mod! Dropping a masterpiece like this outta nowhere is what I'd love to see more of around here. As far as suggestions go, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but the driveshaft seems to clip the floor at the very back of the cabin, right by the 4th door. I've also noticed the rear stairs are a bit too wobbly during regular driving.

I also really feel the need to thank you for all the small details you implemented throughout the bus - stuff like the instrument cluster shutting off along with the engine (and temp gauge turning from blue to purple at the right temp), the door sounds, the excellent (though lag-inducing) interior lighting and honestly the overall thought that went into the design of this thing. I've done quite a bit of bus driving on another sim and I'm therefore quite picky, but this really tingles my bus driving gland - heck, I'd even say it's better than the vanilla Wentward right now.

 

Just a suggestion, what about a single deck variant of the bus?

 

that would look very cool
