Bus Company Simulator

With this update, we have fixed several issues that prevented OMSI from launching properly from BCS (either OMSI simply did not open and had to be launched manually, or a Windows error message appeared stating "The specified device, path, or file cannot be accessed. You may not have sufficient permissions to access the element."

We are pleased to announce the release of the next content update today! The most popular community suggestion was to add additional wear options (brake pads, wiper blades, fuel filters). These have now been implemented and added to the Bus Company Simulator!

- Brake pads, wiper blades, and fuel filters must be replaced at regular intervals
- As usual, replacements can either be ordered via the in-game computer or carried out manually (cheaper)
- To carry out replacements yourself, you will need…

We are pleased to finally present our newly developed design with today's update! We are aware that the previous design was outdated, but we want the Bus Company Simulator to remain available for a long time to come, which is why we decided to refresh it. Following various server upgrades in recent months (most recently with another hardware upgrade), we are now modernizing the user interface. As always, the update also includes a few bug fixes. In addition, the next bonus mission starts today…

The Whitsun event takes place today from 3 pm until June 9, 2025 🌞 Collect event points and earn special additional rewards and an exclusive badge for you personally and your company!

In order to ensure the long-term stability and reliable operation of the company premises in the Bus Company Simulator / Control Center Simulator, the underlying server infrastructure has been upgraded to a modern and more powerful system. This should minimise potential disruptions in the future.

With this update, the next feature requested by BCS Premium players has been implemented: optional driving tests for public companies!

Public companies can now decide whether new applicants must first take a driving test and, if so, what percentage they must pass it with. Applicants then first drive a tour of their choice on a map of the company (however, particularly short and long tours are not offered for driving tests). In order for the company to keep track of how many applicants pass /…

- In the EP and VP rankings in multiplayer, the player's level is now also displayed for each placement

- Fixed a bug that could cause players in the first 50 ranks to have too few permits after conversion

In order to improve the game experience and make leveling up later in the game less time-consuming and tedious, we are introducing many new levels!

The old level 30 corresponds to the new level 100. The old level 50 corresponds to the new level 200.

Your levels will be automatically converted to the new system!

The level requirements for applying to companies and completing training courses have also been automatically converted.

Premium players now have the opportunity to upgrade up to level 500.

This update fixes various errors in both the Bus Company Simulator and the Control Center Simulator that occurred during the change of day when accepting and dispatching tours.
