Duxford, UK, October, 2012 - Operators Only are proud to announce the upcoming release of DCS: Bus - the next advanced driving simulator in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) series of PC combat simulations. The bus is one of the most iconic and well-known modes of transportation in the world. From the mid 1850's stagecoachs to the double decker monsters of London, the bus has seen quite a bit change in it's time.

DCS: Bus will feature the same exacting level of modelling detail as the existing Ka-50 Black Shark, A-10C Warthog and P-51D Mustang aircraft and it will be online compatible with them. Working in close partnership with Russian based Ikarus 260 drivers, Operators only have leveraged their unique skills and experience to provide the most dynamic and true to life bus driving experience available on the PC.

The Ikarus 260 will be the first bus of conventional design featured in the DCS series and further demonstrates the broad scope of the DCS Simulation environment and its ability to introduce a wide variety of vehicles from all eras into a common simulation platform. The Ikarus 260 will also be the first DCS simulator to offer multiple player positions, including driver and passenger. Like previous DCS products, the Ikarus 260 will include a variety of difficulty options to cater to users with different levels of driving simulation experience, including "Simulation" and "Game" playing modes.

LOL. I love this.

someone is a lil sore about DCS's new direction.

Nice anti aliasing.

shoulda called it "DCS: Jaggies"

Brilliant.

I hope you do realise that there actually are bus simulators?
For instance,

I doubt they are up to DCS level, though ;-)
And I'm not quite sure where the "combat" comes in with DCS: Bus?

i think it was joke, because ED/TFC said they are planning a Train Module for DCSW at one point.

Lol, pack it full of snowbirds and enjoy a nice long trip............. over a flamming cliff!

It is obviously a joke, why else would there be screenshots from ArmA2?

Still, I would not mind more civilian airliners (an airBus ;-) in DCS, I really would like to have some air police missions -- of course, we first need a proper fighter jet for that.

I can assure you this is 100% real.

I'd suggest a few commandos with M249s and FGM-148's could be quite a threat to ground units.

hahaha 1.2.0 w/ the fast mover mod.... and he photoshopped BUS over the F-18C or Combined Arms Module.

You might want to check the date of when that was posted.

which is why I said at One point.

Awesome! Gongratulations!

6DOF support ?

Waitin' for bus #99
Goin' to the store for hot dogs and wine!
When all of a sudden, I felt real cold
And wound up in the belly of a big ol' UFO
On the bus, to the A-10C
To the UFO and to outer space baby
On the bus, to the A-10C, baby yeah
Take me away!!!






Next: DCS UFO

Funniest sh1t I ever read, thanks a lot for that post.
