Our DLC W906 is now available for purchase for Fernbus Simulator!
The W906 is a top-class minibus that reliably and comfortably brings your passengers to their destination. It is not only an economical entry-level vehicle for your fleet but also a leap in travel quality for your passengers too. This bus is perfect for the brand new in-game shuttle mode. The price for this stunner is € 7.95 or your regional equivalent.
In this update, we have primarily dealt with technical innovations. Thanks to the support of Tobii Gaming, we were able to implement the Eye Tracker with which our players, if they have the hardware, can experience the unique Tobii Eye Tracking.
Furthermore, it was possible for us, in cooperation with Fanatec, to optimize our Fernbus Simulator with the appropriate hardware, the input of the devices now works correctly.
We would like to thank both companies for the uncomplicated and great cooperation!
With this update, we also turned to telemetry and added a first BETA output and input, which we will continue to deal with in the coming updates. A completely new feature in our game is the shuttle mode, in which you can drive our mini and midibuses. Last but not least, we have of course corrected a lot of bugs in the map and the buses. You can read all about it in our full changelog:
