    Hello! First time I've been on here in quite some time but I've learned the skill of modding, well sort of but I decided, why not make my favorite bus and add it to the game.

    This is my first big project, I have high hopes for it. But I want to keep the scale fairly simple for release. As I'm making everything from scratch to get the full experience, even the suspension system. Sure, I'll look at what the wentward does for some stuff but I'll still try and keep it original. Not that there's anything wrong with using the games assets. But the wentwards suspension and handling are nothing like the Citaro.

    Release will include:

    - Citaro 1st gen facelift.
    - Citaro M
    - Citaro K
    - Citaro L
    - Citaro LE

    The second generation (C2) will probably be added in another update. Same with the first non facelift variant.

    Now keep in mind that I'm very new to modding, but I understand most concepts of it. I'm also very familiar with making games and software so it's not like it's very hard or anything. I also don't want to rush things at all, I want to go at my own pace.

    At the time of writing, I have the frame basically complete, just need to fix some collisions. Then I'll build its front suspension

    It sounds great! But before someone screams at you for not having images, it's best that you add some ; )

    I have added images as requested, I know it isn't much but hey its a start!
    --- Post updated ---
    Honestly I'm not sure yet. It would take me alot of work to flip the whole jbeam around and stuff. And because its my first project i want to keep it fairly simple for now.

    But who knows, might add it in a future update! But don't get your hopes up.

    Will you add the 1997 to 2004 Citaro Generation?

    But w
    Very likely as afaik both the 1997 - 2004 version and the facelift (2006-2011) are very similar in terms of frame. The only real changes are the fascia and the rear. And probably some internal changes.

    Just a silly question, have you thought about making the LE Ü too? I feel like that would be a cool thing to have:3

    U variants are an afterthought, as they don't differ much from the normal variants. But it would be cool and easy to add in the future for sure!
