  The quality just isn't there with this map. Unexceptional and dull; from the textures to the modelling, to the single available line. There are so many free maps for OMSI that exceed the quality of this. It's not desperately terrible but there's just no passion evident in it's construction. There isn't even an included Ticket Pack, nor any included custom Money pack; unacceptable for a payware map. Neither traffic nor passenger density has been configured - again, poor form for a payware map. Traffic and passenger densities are the same whether it's rush hour or 3am in the morning! The included bus is the usual bundled version, originating from about 2014. Like the map, there are better freeware buses. Definitely not worth the asking price and I'd go as far as to say it's not worth it on sale either. The only way I'd perhaps recommend trying this map would be if it were freeware. Even then I could list 10-15 freeware German maps that exceed the quality of this, in every area.

  Okay, I probably have higher expectation than I should have. PAD-Labs creating beautiful and very detailed addons for other games like Train Simulator. Their routes and locomotives are created with enough love and quality textures or details. Unfortunately, I had same expectations for their very first new OMSI 2 Addon. Let's say that I'm little bit dissapointed of their new content. As I see, creators doesn't have enough OMSI 2 experience for creating new maps. They are handle basic OMSI 2 system of creating maps, but settings other harder options aren't realised. I think, that 30€ price is VERY overpriced over other addons. When I compare it to other payware addons, price will literally offer lower fun than other cheaper addons with more content. Exactly, for 30€ you will get 1 line with 13 kilometres (duration about 45 minutes) which isn't very stunning for new buyes. I think that they wrong applied monetisation system from Train SImulator addons to OMSI 2 addons. Train Simulator addon's have higher price, than OMSI 2 addons, but addons on OMSI have lower prices with more content. Train SImulator is the opposite. So let's go for final overview. [h1]MAP[/h1] [b]Positive:[/b] [i]+ A lot of new objects + Good looking city [b]+ Probably the best detailed and high quality textures for OMSI[/b] + New vegetation + Nice narrow streets + Ppl using crossings + Very good detailed city and villages + Mostly every detail from irl is recreated in-game[/i] [b]Negative:[/b] [i]- Missing files for traffic density on various days (weekend - lower traffic X week - higher traffic) - Traffic density is simply same for the whole day and it isn't matter if is night or day - Passenger density is missing, so it doesn't matter if you drive in night or day, you can have full bus every time - Missing ticketpack (Public traffic isn't for free in Köln, so ...) - Missing money - Missing in-game navigation on some places [u]- High price for 1 line with duration about 30-45 minutes[/u] - No AI lines expect line 132. It's ghostly city, when there aren't any other AI lines :c[/i] - Some places are without any objects, like [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088771362/7B4AB47950B515B3DFBAE0384A62F3D729C2501E/]this[/url] or [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088771806/F6AED3BFABB5385B51B60A5698432D4F781EE821/]this[/url] or [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088771577/FD9E35F7F4AB289EC614FF2BA918D834338242A5/]this[/url] [h1]BUS[/h1] [b]Positive:[/b] [i]+ 12 and 18 metres version + Improved sounds (but personally I don't like motor-sounds) + Better high quality textures + Good physics[/i] [b]Negative:[/b] [i]- Some textures are low quality, so it's a little bit unbalanced - Recycled Palma bus... This is even 1000th MB Citaro in OMSI, right? We would rather to see another busses from Cologne, like MAN or new VDL e-bus, than again again again again again CItaro :([/i] Also, there are some places where you cannot drive without hitting curbs. Like [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088771070/0D4635D2D7C9B0D1A6ECBD45272C4ECF6A69D68A/]this[/url] or [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088770507/A56FB715BB88E3082A3997B32E44E18FA4255789/]this[/url] Other bugs: [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/751466427088772010/92AB5D969DC62041BFF03270D7BE7609E101C362/]Screen 1[/url] At overall, in this moment I [u]can't recommend[/u] to buy Köln. As I said, price is higher than normal, there are lot of bugs and problems which need to be fixed. It will take some time until this addon will be perfect.

  Another map that’s price does not reflect the content. The Map is nice, but only has one line, it’s a long line and has nice variety. Bus is ok, I like the ibis but no ticket selling. There are cheaper maps with more lines so this should be way down the wishlist but if you have everything else and need a new challenge this is an option. 5/10

  I got this addon when it was sale and i gotta say it was worth it The bus is a Citaro wich theres way to many of i hate them but this one was the best one ive driven the only good mercedes bus in omsi. The map is very detailed and the performance is on of the best yet in omsi everything is also detailed keep on the good work but remember release more dlcs with swedish buses like volvo and scania not mercedes or Man with vdv if your releasing a man use the baseline dash not the vdv please comeon im tired of this german ugly dashboard
