Add a response to this if ya ride the bus!

I can't really see what that site has to do with school busses ???
I go to school with public transport and don't really care on wich bus I am. As long if I get there well and on time.

>:(Why i9s this message on here this is a shipsim forum not a bus forum also the website has nothing to do with buses!
-
P.S. I dont ride the bus you not very smart person!

I was dreading this day... The day when I find myself agreeing with sf55.
It IS small talk and you can talk about pretty much whatever you want to.

But it's called Small Talk. You can post offtopic things here.

I mean topics, that have a proper title, and some sort of point.
-
Yes, as weird as a topic about School Bus types is :D, Shipfan has every right to start one, without having to put up with people shouting and making angry responses.
-
This is a Ship Simulator forum, and unless you can explain what school busses have to do with Marmite, they have no place here.
-
But this place is Small Talk! :D You don't have to talk about ShipSim here! ;D
-
I've seen weirder topics.., though I, of course, would never start one.. ;)

apart from 53 sets of Marmite sandwiches being transported to school every morning...

holy cow man, calm down, so people don't like this topic, big deal, doesn't mean you have to leave the forum, all though you may get banned for cursing :-\

Banning may be the least of his worries if his blaspheming drives someone into a psychotic rage. :)
As for consigning someone to Hell, that is far above his pay grade.

PS. Shipfan55 has been banned (not permenant) for gross misuse of the forum.

I agree on the profanity part, but come on, his profile says he's 10 years old, you adults could have posted less sarcastic or negatively to his off topic threads. (this is small talk after all). So he likes busses, so what? You don't have to knock that.
10 year olds might not understand sarcasm sometimes, and if marmite is discussed in lenghts then why can't he have his non-SS threads without silly or sarcastic remarks. If you have no opinion about a thread topic, then why post negatively and make a young forum member feel bad? What if I would say I hate marmite, in every topic it comes up in.
Oh and btw... I hate marmite, it is made from the devil's dingleberries and it stinks... there!

Relax, I'm sure the kid will be back.
Here's something to cheer you up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhbxN4NO38k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhbxN4NO38k)
Edit: guess I better include a bus... I like this one:

Roebot 65 - There is no need to get angry a topic about buses in a SMALL TALK forum. That is what the small talk forum was setup for. If you haven't got anything nice to say in a forum, don't say it at all. There are nicer ways to get your point across and that was not one of them :-\
mvsmith - I think the marmite joke has gone far enough :( It was funny, but I think ShipFan55 is fed up with you and Stuart of highjacking threads with marmite all the time :-\
ShipFan55 - You should of not said those things, they cost you a ban but I do agree with you. However there was no need to get quite so angry because look what's happened? :-\ :(
I just hope we can get this topic back on track again ;)

We have certain rules on this forum, one of them is the following:
Off-Topic Posts
Okay, so you probably won't get banned for an off-topic post, but c'mon, try to post suitable subjects on each of the appropriate boards. Off-topic posts will most likely be deleted, and further action may be taken against repeat offenders.
From now on we will act if members decide to ignore this rule, even in the 'small talk' section. When someone opens a new topic he does that for a reason, and it can be very annoying if other users just ignore that reason and evade the subject. No matter what the subject, please respect the topic starter. If you can't do that for any reason, don't reply.
Good luck and have a great time on the forum despite the forum rules!

I was pointing out—perhaps too subtly for some—that school busses were not the only subject that was not related to ships.

I have nothing against buses at all. It may surprise you to know that I own a bus and coach company and am in the process of selling it as I am going to travel the world. I have nothing against bus enthusiasts either.
I do apologies, however, if some people have been offended by Marmite comments.

-
Well, I steel think the topic is pretty stupid.
But hey, who cares?
@Shipfan55
Ever heard of the game busdriver?
-
I've got the demo for that. It's good. nice graphics
:)
-
Yeah i've played the Demo of that game. it was pretty enjoyable. However, I held off of buying the full game because the lack of a front view made driving pretty difficult. It also, ideally needs a steering wheel and pedals, which i don't have and don't deem a wise investment for just that game. Plus someone posted in a review on Play.com that it doesn't recognize the same axis of both the accelerator and brake pedals on some wheels set ups.
If a second version is released with these issues addressed i will probably get it.
-
I couldn't get busdriver to run as it had one frame update every 2 seconds... is that just me then? Maybe low memory?

Could either be your graphics card or your memory (RAM). Can you send me your dxdiag please Stu?

:o I'm offended!! :D
Nothing against DJM though ;)
-
After driving the damned things all day- and then pawing over the paperwork for them at night, I don't WANT to play games about them :D
Stu
-
i just recently bought Bus Driver, great game. Call me nuts, but i've been looking for a bus driving game for years. Along with a ship simulator, and my wishing payed off. ;D
-
I played the demo for an hour and it didn't suck as bad as I expected.
Analog controls would definitely help, although the game's limited and simplistic.
I'd like to see a Bus Tycoon where you run the business, purchases buses, brand your own fleet etc. Or a hard-core first-person version which offers the entire dashboard, gear shifting, Track IR ability, etc.
Edit: I've just tried the 18 Wheels of Steel demo. It's actually got a lot of the above features... career mode and business modelling and on the sim side lights, wipers, ignition, gear shifting, detailed cabins and mouse look, which translates into some basic Track IR capacity.
Shipfan55 you should try both demos, they don't take long to download.
-
Have to give that go! More of a shipping fan, but like Stuart as I work in shipping, after spending 10 years driving a ship then a day telling ships where to go and sorting out the paper work..do i want to spend all evening driving the ships again at home...? Dont think the wife will let me ;D
Will have to down load these two when's she not looking! ;)

Ha, You had me ROFL there! :D ;D

I've played it, it's good fun, and with a released patch you get full TIR support. I don't know wether it's for both ( i think there's 2 "18 wheels of steel" titles out there) but the one I have is called "hauling" IIRC.
-
there are many ;)
18 wheels of steel Convoy
18 wheels of steel Across Amerika
18 wheels of steel Pedal To The Metal
18 wheels of steel Haulin
18 wheels of steel American Long Haul
and one new that is under developing
name: Euro truck simulator
link: www.eurotrucksimulator.com
-
Cheers, didnt know there were that many ;D
Euro truck simulator looks real good, that would be one I'll be checking out when it's released, I think

10-1 on the last transmit.

I do that for real (at least until the sale goes through and I'm FREE!!!) and it isn't that much fun, believe me!

Well Stu I guess you won't be playing this one either: http://www.bussimulator.nl (http://www.bussimulator.nl)
(the title's in italics so it has to be awesome)
-
Oh, it's being made by Vstep! ;D

What makes you say that? I didn't see any vstep branding anywhere.

I think he's joking ;D

Ah, right. Sorry. Been up too many hours.
Stu

I know how you feel :)
-
I'm not joking, I saw it on one of the sites (not official) that said it was being made by the same people who made Ship Simulator. The box art even has the same font for the writing, then again, the Ship Sim box writing was a copy of FS. I'll see if i can find the page.

Bus Simulator is developed by Contendo, a firm that produces and localizes games. They are located in Birmingham and Dϋsseldorf. They probably have contracted the game to some other firm.
-
That webpage must be wrong then.
-
Hello,
Of course, 8) you were not joking, but the webpage you gave as a reference was also (I think) not wrong:
In this forum page, I guess not ;) being alone to have read further down the answer of coolbus

UPDATE
Developers:
The developer of Ship simulator "Vstep" will not develop Bus simulator 2008
Astragon has now choosed a new developer "contendo"
And Astragon, as far I am aware of it, is distributor or publisher of Shipsim in Germany? Schiffsim?

If you change your mind, I have a 'few' real buses for sale at the moment.
