Omsi 2 Volvo 8700 Work [exclusive]
In the world of OMSI 2: The Bus Simulator, the Volvo 8700 project represents a significant effort to bring high-quality Nordic bus engineering to the simulation community. Often associated with "Nano's Projects," this Work In Progress (WIP) aims to fill a notable gap in the game's roster, which has historically been dominated by MAN and Solaris models. Overview of the Volvo 8700 Project
Cockpit & Dashboard (common elements)
- Ignition: key or button in dash (turn on before starting engine).
- Brake: service brake (foot), handbrake (hand lever or key).
- Gearbox: Automatic — D/R/N/P; Manual — H-shifter or sequential. Use clutch if present.
- Retarder/engine brake: lever or button reduces wear on service brakes.
- Doors: Left-side passenger doors (F or button panel). Door interlock prevents driving if open.
- Indicators: B to cycle left/right/hazard.
- Lights: L cycles through parking/headlights; high beam via separate control.
- Select "D" using the gear selector stalk.
- Release the parking brake (often a push/pull valve labeled with a "P").
- You must press the accelerator. Unlike a city bus, the I-Shift will not creep forward when you release the brake. You have to add throttle to engage the clutch.
- Pro tip: Let the RPMs settle around 500-600 before flooring it to avoid jerky starts.
Common Workarounds for Bugs
Because the Volvo 8700 is a complex mod, it is not without issues. Experienced players know the "work" of fixing common problems: omsi 2 volvo 8700 work
Add .hof Files: Ensure the .hof file for the map you intend to drive is in the bus's main folder (e.g., OMSI 2/Vehicles/Volvo_8700/) so the destination displays work correctly. 2. Starting and Operating the Bus In the world of OMSI 2: The Bus
