OMSI 2 Add-On München City is a simulation add-on for the PC bus simulator OMSI 2. It places players behind the wheel of modern city buses on authentic routes through central Munich and its surrounding boroughs.
Gameplay
Players operate MAN Lion's City buses in both solo and articulated versions along 30 kilometers of road with 45 stops. The routes pass through Schwabing, Maxvorstadt, Lehel, Haidhausen, and Bogenhausen. Detailed modeling covers the vehicles based on real Munich fleet examples, complete with contemporary liveries, advertisements, and functional passenger information displays that show route details and announcements.
Driving follows realistic schedules on the original bus network. AI traffic includes modern vehicles along with trams and city trains that add to the urban environment. The Hess bus trailer appears for the first time in the OMSI series, attached behind certain buses on appropriate routes. Scenery recreates well-known sights such as the Friedensengel, Haus der Kunst, the Chinese Tower, Feldherrnhalle, Siegestor, Königsplatz, the Bavarian royal residence, the Pinakotheken, and the Leopoldstrasse boulevard.
Game Modes
The add-on provides scheduled bus operations on three main lines with distinct characteristics. Museum line 100 focuses on cultural sites. University line 153 serves academic districts. Line 150 runs through Schwabing and crosses the English Garden park. Each line requires adherence to timetables while managing passenger stops and traffic conditions.
Integration with the base game allows free exploration of the map outside scheduled services. The emphasis remains on following real network plans and handling the specific demands of each route segment.
Routes and Landmarks
Thirty kilometers of inner-city roads recreate Munich's layout with attention to borough transitions and traffic flow. The English Garden appears as a major green space crossed by one of the lines. Landmarks sit along the paths in accurate positions, giving visual reference points during journeys. Stops are placed at real locations, and the overall network plan matches the city's public transport structure.
Vehicles and Features
The MAN Lion's City models include both rigid and articulated versions with accurate interiors and exteriors drawn from Munich's fleet. Repaints reflect current MVG styles, and advertisements use the operator's fonts. The Hess trailer adds a new trailer option for longer combinations. Announcements play in German with matching text on displays. AI trams and trains operate on their own tracks to maintain the city's transport mix.
