    I downloaded an addon-bus but I only got a white *.7z-file. How can I open it?


    A 7z-file is a socalled "packed archive" which you can open and unpack with a archive manager like WinZIP (Payware), WinRAR (Shareware) or 7zip (Open Source). When you install one of theese programms the *7z-file will be associated with the archive manager. You will get every further steps from the readme out of the unpackt folder.

    I downloaded the Setra S 215 UL addon-bus but the rollsigns don't work!


    In order to use the rollsigns of the Setra just copy the "Rollband_S215" folder into "...\OMSI\Vehicles\Anzeigen\".
    P.S.: That's how to proceed with every bus that has a rollsign!

    Many users are argueing about the SD200-sound in the Setra S215 UL but the right sound is already part of the download. I show how to use it:


    Open the folder ...\OMSI\Vehicles\Setra_UL\ and make a copy of the file called "Setra_S215UL_2566MUH.bus". Then rename the new file into "Setra_S215UL_2566UH.bus". Now open the renamed file with windows editor and scroll down to the paragraph called "[sound]". Instead of:


    [sound]
    sound\sound_S215UL_D2566MUH.cfg
    [sound_ai]
    sound\sound_S215UL_D2566MUH.cfg


    Put the following code into that file:


    [sound]
    sound\sound_S215UL_D2566UH.cfg
    [sound_ai]
    sound\sound_S215UL_D2566UH.cfg


    At paragraph "[friendlyname]" (at the top of the file) paste the following code:


    [friendlyname]
    Setra
    S215UL(Original Sound)
    White


    Now save the file and you can drive this bus also with an authentic sound if you choose "S215UL(Original Sound)" in OMSI.

    If you have chosen the alternative download (*.zip-file) just copy the "fonts"-folder from your download archive into your "OMSI" folder. If you have downloaded the installer you won't have that problem.

    I pasted my announcements into "\OMSI\Vehicles\TD_Mercedes-Benz_O405N2\Sound\Ansagen" but I cannot hear any!


    The O405N² addon gets its announcements out of the following folder: "\OMSI\Vehicles\MAN_SD202\Sound\Ansagen" If you paste your announcements into this folder they will be useable in the addon bus.

    To solve this problem simply download and install the HSTB-Fix from NL202-downloadthread.


    Another solution is downloading the Kamaz-Rework-Version of the NL202. The HSTB-Fix is
    already included in this version.

    The Setra S215 UL addon doesn't show any destinations but only the linenumbers!


    That's because the Setra S215 UL addon uses a seperate folder for rollsigntextures, but there are files from addon maps missing. The solution is easy:


    Copy all files from ...\OMSI\Vehicles\Anzeigen\Rollband_SD79\ Switch into the folder ...\OMSI\Vehicles\Anzeigen\Rollband_S215UL\.


    Delete all files in there.
    Paste the files you copied in step one.
