A new BETA-version for Fernbus Simulator is available! As you surely noticed, we released our new DLC France a little bit prematurely. Therefore, we built a BETA-update, to fix some issues with the game (it was originally planned to do it the other way around). Please download this BETA-Verison to enjoy the new DLC the way we intended. +++The DLC is still an early access until the full update is released.+++
