We hope you'll already enjoy the beta version of this upcoming update and we're looking forward to your feedback.

We've finally added a guide about how to create custom repaint mods for Tourist Bus Simulator:
Modding Guide: How to create custom repaints for vehicles

This guide works just as well for Fernbus Simulator. So, you can easily convert your new and old repaint mods for either game.

We hope, you have lots of fun creating new repaints for your favourite vehicle.

Today we've released two vehicle DLC for Tourist Bus Simulator.

DLC Neoplan Skyliner and DLC ComfortClass HD are ready for purchase on Fuerteventura to add more variety to your vehicle fleet.

Sounds familiar? Well, for those of you that own Fernbus Simulator may know these vehicles already because we've ported these vehicles from Fernbus Sim to Tourist Bus Sim.

These DLC's are compatible with both games! No need two pay more than once.

So, if you have already purchased these DLC's for Fernbus Sim, you'll find them available in Tourist Bus Sim right away. And vice versa: should you buy one of these DLC's for Tourist Bus they'll be waiting for you in Fernbus too.

This is from us, TML Studios, for you as a thank you!

Right after the winter break, the second Update for Tourist Bus Simulator has been released. Thanks to your help we've developed a smooth update with a long list of changes.

Not only have many bugs been fixed, but also a lot of features have been revised or improved. Just to pick out a few: The driver's camera can now also be adjusted in the SUV, service car and buggy as well, the additional garage halls are now accesible with the vehicles and there are finally audio dialogues for your passengers in 4 languages: English, German, Spanish and French !

Detailed information can be found in the Changelog.

Hi there everybody,

unfortunately, there will be limited support during the period of 22nd December 2018 until 6th January 2019.

Most of the team will be on holidays with their friends and families and thus we'll be unable to offer full support for our games during this time.

We hope you'll understand that we will return in January and continue our work on Tourist Bus Sim as well as our upcoming and previous titles.

At the 7th of January 2019, you will be able to contact us as usual.

Kind regards and best wishes for the coming holidays!
TML-Studios

Among other things, thanks to your help, we noticed that certain crashes and game blockades in Tourist Bus Simulator v1.0 are unfortunately due to some AMD graphics card types.

We have contacted Epic Games to find out why these graphics cards cause these issues exactly.

Right now we're working on finding and fixing the issues that cause these problems, so even owners of these special AMD graphics card types can experience and enjoy Tourist Bus Sim trouble-free in the future.

We hope you will understand and be patient until we have corrected these issues properly.

---

UPDATE: This issue has been solved and owners of these AMD graphics cards can now enjoy Tourist Bus Simulator.
