The black texture issue was not the fault of the bus developer. Evidently you're using a 4K version of the repaint which depending on some maps OMSI can really shit itself hard.. Especially if AI routes are also using 4K repaints.

[BusTrainsGuy]

Now this is when the famous Sound developer Badger_Bus comes in to the rescue if he sees this, since he’s put amazing work into the MS Veiling, Gen 3 Pack, Lancsbus Omnidecker, and Veiling Classic which I know for a fact will be top quality sounds.

Sounds like a terrible gust of wind blowing around in the sound. Great looking bus but as you say it needs improving. Fantastic drive

[GamesUKYT]

I've got to agree with some of these points on here the sounds do definitely need improving on the B7 as I've been on plenty in my life and they don't even sound like that but for a fact he is improving it in every update so I think we should give him a chance is as he's the only one on his team doing all this now as he's not part of studio polygon but we will eventually get there with a decent B7.
it definitely needs optimizing on performance

[lchampenynrr]

Joe, you have that exactly to the point on how I think.... Hey ho, I gone and bought it still just to drive in. The panic alarm is not the one that matches with bus either. My Gemini has this newer dash which I prefer to the older style, although it's currently off the road due to electrics needing rewiring and welding underneath.

Great video Joe The B7 sounds are Well appalling the gearbox appalling and I think we will leave that there the Hoovering sounds don’t get me started 🤣 But the B9 yeah it’s ok to a extent and why is there so much criticism towards you for saying something that’s true If you Have bought a product then you want it Right don’t you like you said quality control! end of the day there is a Free Sound mod that sounds much better than this!!


And Yes I am going to get criticism for what I said about it being appalling, but when you have spent money on it, you want it right don’t you?


In all honesty, if you are new to Omsi and looking for a new bus to drive. I would spend the extra pound and go grab the Studio Polygon Renown maybe a couple of months down the line the Gemini pack will be absolutely amazing. Let’s just wait and see.!

Love the Bus and the B7TL is getting there! Hope FirstEnvio will listen to you joe! I agree Joe, the old dash is better

[GSCFemboy]

6:22 that sound reminds me of a former arriva medway B7 ALX400. specifically 6440. GN04 UFJ. It was my fave vehicle then it got withdrawn in august last year :( but it sounded similar to that gemini with the hoover that i only seem to have found on B7 ALX400s.. RIP 6440 :(

[goose]

I totally agree with you joe but still a good video!!

[SWTE]

From my experience, the engine sounds are alright, albeit resembling a rather broken example, and the axle sounds are spot on, but the cooling fan just sounds wrong. I think one of the main reasons why it sounds off is because the cooling fan pitch depends on the engine RPM rather than the fan RPM.

[eternitygamer]

Hey Joe, can you make an optimisation setting video where you showcase your good performance combined with graphics as I think it would help many people including me as Omsi2 is very hard to optimise. Good work and keep it up!

[hakeemryner]

Hey Joe,

Love the vid as usual. I 100% agree that the b7 sounds are appalling, performance wise it isn’t great either. However, First Enviro has been working with the boosters releasing patch in his server to get sounds right and they are significantly better - not perfect but a step in the right direction . I know people have said previously that the sounds are better but hold on it’s actually improved. Let’s hope performance wise it’ll match.

[DB_]

I find the 4gb patch causes the black textures often, particularly on the Chloe Trident - without it of course you get the white textures after a while when the memory runs out, but I prefer just having to give it all a quick reboot!

Love the look of the Gemini - I'm really looking forward to the Lothian and London variants! Sounds definitely need some work on the B7TL, but apart from that looks quite nice

Quite a disappointment that we didn't get a BJ03 NXWM spec - imagine if we had a half-decent sounding one of those! 😩👏

[jhtrains]

I agree with you that the sounds on the B7 needs improving to a degree, the B9 I think is better, like you said the B9 should of been first then the B7 which i thought that was what was going to happen, the one problem i have with the B9 is that it kicks out of gear and revs like made and it wont change sometimes.

[pacers]

lets hope the Dennis dart sounds fantastic however the b9 sounds fantastic but the b7 needs work on the sound its a shame when you are spending nearly 20 pound on a bus for it to sound like this to be fair they are updating this bus quite a lot but they need to work on the b7 sounds so yea hopefully this gets better

[FM]

I am just hoping MS are still working on the G2, they would probably include the Voith variant of the B9TL which I desperately want in OMSI. When I asked if this would have Voith prior to being released I ended up with a load of replies stating they don't exist. For the matter I have been on 2451 SN08 BYB with Burnley Bus Co which has Voith.

[vgbeastbomb]

6:22 I will admit this kind of sounds like a B9 Hoover more than a Euro 4 Hoover

[jonny-simulation-gamer]

the gemini pack is so great for performance for me with a unknown graphics card

[mufc]

The bus sounds like and old Leyland atlantean 😮

[safctaylorr]

Hit the nail on the head Joe. Was looking forward to this product for years and the B7TL has let down unfortunately. My local operator is Go North East and they have a very large fleet of B9TL Geminis aswell as a large fleet of B7TLs. When you’re standing near a B7 and it pulls away it is so loud you can’t think. It also sounds totally different in real life. It’s really upsetting because I really wanted to like this product and I do for some parts but the B7 is just a let down.

I know people don’t like the idea of a patch being brought out later but it genuinely doesn’t bother me as the B9TL is a perfectly reasonable bus anyway. Get these ironed out and FirstEnviro will have a beast of a product in his hands. Minor things such as textures on B7 need doing such as doors looking like they’re fresh of the production line and of course bugs i’ve experience when driving this bus myself.

Hope they get sorted Joe as this was a much needed, and wanted bus for OMSI.
