Welcome to Manly ACT Four – The Forest.

Over the last 13 years I have been crafting the
larger part of northern Sydney for OMSI.
I’ve created a massive map and that in itself
has been challenging. Manly ACT Four – The
Forest, is a continuation of these aims.

What’s New?

So what’s new? Good question. Well, I have included a bunch of new routes from The
Forest, a now largely suburban area with a thin bushland veneer.
Previously the Forest routes were a bit of a minor part of the map full of incomplete
routes. Now we see that all but one of the 12 Forest routes included are included in
full. The only one which is curtailed is the 284 which doesn’t yet head out into the
horse paddocks of Duffy’s Forest.
Extensive areas of Frenchs Forest have been remodelled including the Northern
Beaches Hospital and associated Warringah Road Underpass. It also seemed time to
about time to add some new stuff to Warringah Mall too. Whilst there are some areas
of the Forestosphere that haven’t made it to fruition, we’ve got pretty close… What
was already there?

You’ll also be able to continue to drive 11 routes that operate out of the Willoughby
Depot located in the northern suburbs and servicing the area between Chatswood and
the City of Sydney. Services operate either via North Sydney or the Freeway. Some
services run every day and some are specifically Peak Hour Monday to Friday services.

This has been a labour of love which has aimed at turning a German bus simulator into
something more styled to Australian conditions. To aid in this process I have created
over 8000 custom objects and 1038 splines across 1500 tiles. Making these custom
objects has taken me a long time as I have tried to replicate the reality of the
environment around me. This has necessitated the taking of a whole heap of photos
which I’ve stitched together to make the object textures. This has also lead to the map
being styled as “heavy”. I make no apology for this. The aim of this project has been
the faithfully reproduce local conditions, not make generic objects for use by others or
create a German version of Australia.

A NOTE ON COPYRIGHT & PRESERVATION ------------------------------------------------------------ We get it, and to a point, we respect your copyright. We never claim these mods as our own; we share them because we love them. History has shown that when major hosting sites go down, hundreds of mods are lost forever. We aim to stop that from happening again. We don't believe mods should be locked behind ID-based login systems or specific sites that may not exist tomorrow.

We also feel that the installation process for these mods is overly time consuming and unnecessary in the current age.
