OMSI: The Bus Simulator - Post 6 - Hints & Tips: How to Use The Radio & Some New Repaints For The Solaris 10m & 15m

Today Rhys & I have decided to compile a post about OMSI, I will be showing you how to use the radio & Rhys will be displaying his latest OMSI repaints.

George's Guide to the Bus Radio

There are many little hidden gems inside OMSI, one of which is the cassette player found in MAN SD200 buses, many know of it but there are also a broad audience who do not.Today we will be showing you how to use this feature, using a step by step guide. 

So without further ado, here is the guide!

Step 1: Use your browser to locate the "Listen Live" function for the radio station you want to listen to in OMSI whilst driving your bus.

A list of some stations for possible use:

Load your game and choose a bus from the MAN SD200 range, preferably the SD85.

Step 5:

Turn the ignition on in your bus and locate the cassette player.

Our MAN SD85 today is 3408 and it is sitting in Spandau depot 

Turning on the ignition

The cassette player is located, right of the dashboard and left of the ticket machine

Step 6:

Press the play button and wait for it to buffer, then it should be able to play throughout your journey.
