B allows you to leave the vehicle when you are at a complete stop, which is mostly used for checking in or out passengers in career mode. You can click in the right stick to go to a loose-feeling third-person view or switch back to 1 st. You have gas, turn signals, and brake/reverse. Controls didn’t change much, and you’re not in control of the major functions of the vehicle. The only differences I noticed between the two were the penalties for driving errors. You have arcade and simulation modes available. It rarely hits it at a consistent pace in any larger city, but it holds it well in the countryside or on major highways. Fernbus Simulator aims for 60 frames per second. You get a jaunty, annoying tune at the main menu and that is it. The best simulator titles at least try to have a soundtrack of some sort available. You get ambient city/country noise and the sounds of vehicles and that is it. This is all made worse by the complete lack of any soundtrack while playing the game. There is no other content besides the aimless, pointless free play or the zero progression outside of unlocking starting points, and career mode. This, somehow, is an incredibly light-on-content game despite all of that. During my time with the game, I visited Paris, Prague, Munich, and other decently rendered versions of Europe. It is a truly daunting task to try and see it all. This game’s map is truly massive, with over 50,000 kilometers of European countryside and cityscapes available. Career mode has you set your own routes in a much smaller area based around your home city.

First up is free play, where you choose a starting point and aimlessly drive a bus around Europe.

You are a bus driver, and you will choose from two modes. The latest Aerosoft GmbH joint, this game allows you to travel from France to German, Prague, and more! Featuring truly terrible physics, occasionally decent graphics, and little to no music is it worth checking out? 100 Cities and 50,000 km of Boring Routesįernbus Simulator, which has three different names in its listing, is a bad game in most ways. Hit Xbox back in February, seven years after its initial release on PC. Fernbus Simulator, shown as Fernbus Coach Simulator in the box art and referenced as Flixbus in the description.
