    just a slight suggestion and idk how much it'd cut down on flex body count but the middle axle could only support single tyres, because if you ask me, it doesn't make sense for the one powered axle to have singles on a 4 axle 23,738kg articulated vehicle

    (got the weight statistic from the scales with the electric version, idk how accurate since it had to be on 2 scales

    Did you include the dummies in that weight? When full, it should weigh about forty tons, which indeed warrants either double tires or super singles.

    For maneuvrability's sake, the front part of the articulated variants should be about one window pane shorter than it currently is. And that should be added to the rear part of the bus.

    Also a huge thanks for including Cummins X10 as the default engine.

    I respawned the longest version of the giga bus. I loaded it with the maximum number of mannequins. I added rockets and launched them. The bus accelerated faster and faster. At 300 kilometers per hour, I felt like I was flying into the sky. At 400 kilometers per hour, I began to have difficulty keeping a straight track. I felt like "fuck, I'm about to fall over." Trying to correct the bus made things worse. He was rocking more and more. The tires began to blow up. I panicked. After a few seconds, what you see in the picture below happened.
    Is it normal? Should this happen?

    Articulation joints are too stiff even in the low stiffness setting and do not bend quickly enough for proper steering or limit at the correct points to prevent bellows from breaking.

    Driveshaft of the articluated variant has been misplaced. This affects handling.

    There are different driveshafts for each type of frames. If you have changed the frame type through the parts selector, you have to also choose the correct type of driveshaft.

    Search "dummies" (or just "dum") in parts selector.

    The closest is New Routemaster, but the design is a bit different.

    Yeah, this is normal. RL articulated buses do not go faster than 100km/h in operation, and 160-ish km/h during testing.

    The front part ought to be one window shorter and aft one window longer.

    When using the EV capsule bus, the message that this phenomenon is caused by core file damage appears, so the capsule bus EV version cannot be used (translation)

    Do you mean the hybrid one?


    Diesel should work.

    EV should work.
