  Amazing Addon all-round, a great addition to OMSI. The map is very detailed and of high quality, complimented by new AI cars and even AI cyclists which is a first for OMSI! Another first for OMSI is also the parallel hybrid engine of the incredibly detailed, high quality buses. I have no hesitation in recommending you purchase this new Addon.

  [h1]Classic D. Bode no more, at least not that much[/h1] Being a foreign fan of HVV and Hamburg in general, I really warmly welcome this new addon; the accuracy of the map is remarkable and the ability of having the old HH T&N routes (109 and 688) makes it even better. "Classic D. Bode no more, at least not that much" - I've always had something to say about the build quality of Bode's busses but I finally see a real step forward in quality, texture and model-wise. Sadly there's still some sounds that can clearly be heared looping and the LED display is, again, the same old OMSI 1 version which was built due to the simulator's limitations. The I-Shift gearbox is a bit harsh and not so smooth while shifting, but these are side notes (I guess) as you will be driving watching the road, and not the rev meter which is the only way to notice that. Overall the experience isn't affected by these "tell precisely-guy-annoyances". Do I suggest you to buy this addon? Sure do!

  OMSI 2 Add-on Hafencity is one of the only addons for OMSI 2 that I've been looking forward to since it was publicised. As expected, I was overall impressed with the quality and quantity of the addon. Overall PROS: - A very well made map, high quality, as expected of Darius. - A comprehensive new pack of AI cars and other vehicles. - Bicycles- something OMSI has never seen before, and very well implemented. How the biker puts their foot down when stationery is a very nice touch. - A detailed set of two buses, however, see below. Overall CONS: - The map has a poor performance rate around the Hauptbahnhof which is something that I've never experienced before. - The bicycles when crashed into think that they are rockets and launch hundreds of feet into the air. As you can see, the PROS outstand the CONS. The buses: The stop-start feature has been scripted nicely, however, there seems to be a lack of torque up until a certain kmh whilst riding in electric mode. The gearbox script is rather awful; it should be an I-Shift 12 speed gearbox, however from what I can see it is a very "bodged" voith. When the bus slows down, it downshifts, where it shouldn't, as due to the amount of torque, the bus jumps forward. The reverse gear is also very tempremental. The textures and model are very nice however could be improved, like modelling the panel gaps instead of putting them on the repaint texture. The sounds could also be improved, they sound nothing like a 7900H in real life. It sounds as if you've recorded the sounds whilst the bus is in motion, which is not advisable. Overall I'm impressed with the addon. With a few patches to solve the bus issues, this would be one of the best addons out there for OMSI 2. There are a number of new features, good and bad, which make this addon stand out to the user.

  One of the best Add-Ons for Omsi 2, if not the best. The map looks fantastic, you now have cyclists & the Hybrid Bus is awesome! Recommended 10/10

  Buses are great but the map is definetley a nono. Firstly the map has faults where bits of it don't load despite me re-installing omsi countless numbers of times. I don't think everybody has this issue but it seems a few do and I think the map is not that good. Detail on route 109 has been missed out on. The map bugs alot off the time and I end up teleporting to another place on the map!! Detail and everything is definetley recomended if the map was not buggy for me. Line 109 has adverts saying buy Hamburg which I think it shouldn't say. Line 109 has not been copied properly so I definetley recomend using the Hybrid bus on the old map if the new one is buggy.

  Having read through the reviews of this, it looks like almost all of the negative ones need the same answer: Install the 4GB Patch! It ain't exactly rocket science. Please folks, before moaning about crashes and white scenery, ensure you've patched OMSI2. Unfortunately, every time it updates, you'll need to do this again, which I suspect is what a lot of people aren't aware of. With that out of the way, I would very much recommend this route, especially when running it alongside Hamburg Day & Night/Tag und Nacht. Both sets of routes are really good to drive, with good scenery and interesting journeys, plus if you have both Hamburg routes, they and their buses are completely interchangeable. You can drive the modern hybrid buses on the older routes and older buses on the new routes. The bus models are also well done, although you might need to glance in the manuals a few times, because they're quite different to most other OMSI2 vehicles available.

  The map is very good. Strong detail and an interesting drive on all routes. But I'm really let down by the maps stability. The textures keep going white and the map disappears despite having a PC with good specifications. It's a shame.

  I bought this to use the E bus and half the roads and bridges don't load in at all. Worst purchase I've ever made.

  I have an Acer Aspire C22 which runs omsi really well. It has 8gb of ram and the recommended for omsi is 4gb. I do run this mod alongside two other Hamburg mods but i don't know enough abut computers to know if the amount of RAM needed adds up. However, whenever I try and play, after 10 and 30 minutes it always seems to crash and I don't know why.
