Does that also go for the 524's route at Bassett Hall?

No bus company I know would serve an area where the only way out is through a reverse left turn between parked cars, and no insurance company I can think of would cover the damages that might occur.

I fixed the situation by building a road around Bassett Hall and adjusting the route of the 524:

It's very common in the UK to have to reverse at the end or mid-way through the route. We actually have a service that once a day must reverse all the way up a dead-end street with parked cars close on both sides. It's also relatively common in certain areas to have to reverse to get out of "sticky situations".

Excellent bus! Very well made, and a lot of time and effort has been put into the scripting as well which makes a big difference. I particularly love the gear selector, very realistic! The only two things I think could be improved are fixing the indicators which won't switch off by using the button (although this has already been mentioned) and also the transmission slides "too smoothly" into each gear after 2nd. I think this is because the revs drop too slowly and you don't even know that it's changed gear unless you look at the digits on the controller. The revs need to drop more between each gear. The Allison B300R is very similar to the Allison T280R - perhaps it would be a good idea to take the B300R mod and tweak it a bit adapting it, and adding a 6th gear. I think that would behave much more like a T280R.

The only other thing I don't like (but that's nothing wrong with the bus, it's just my personal preference) is the very obtrusive full-width cab dividers these buses have that is common in Russia.

I admire your decision to include multiple versions too - adds a lot of variety!

Great job on this, just a few small things that I've noticed:

1) The bus kneels far too low in my opinion, and when raising again it stops halfway up and takes quite some time to return to the normal position from there
2) The bus slides to the left away from the pavement when you kneel it and slides right again back up to the pavement when raised
3) The front wheels (particularly the front-left wheel) are not in the centre of the wheel arch
4) I find the fans very very loud in comparison to the engine sound volume (I know some buses have loud fans but I think it's too loud in this, especially compared to the default MAN buses).
5) The cockpit (steering wheel, dashboard etc) feel too small and the large gap to the left in the corner is a bit annoying and feels like something should be there
6) The stop brake light is the wrong way around - it is lit up when the stop brake is off when it should be lit up when the stop brake is on instead I think

Other than that, it's great!

better link for bus mate? currently downloading @ 48kb/s

normally download at 6/7mb a second lol

7mb per second? Are you sure?!

Great job, just a few points:

- The 250hp engines seem to stick/accelerate on their own when changing down into 2nd gear (I think it's 2nd)
- The kneeling switch doesn't seem to work (it'll move but the bus doesn't kneel)
- The turbo sound works great now, but the sound is very jittery and not smooth and constant

Great otherwise though
