We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Transport simulation fans who want to drive buses, trams or trains
- Players who want multiplayer control-centre coordination and radio communication
- Creators interested in building maps, vehicles and scenery
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a narrowly focused single-vehicle simulator rather than several transport types and creation tools
- Players who prefer short, simple sessions instead of schedules, traffic, duty rosters and long shifts
- Players looking for a conventional action or puzzle game rather than transport simulation
Our take on LOTUS-Simulator
The defining structure is its combination of transport operation and world creation: the same simulator supports driving buses, trams and trains while also providing tools for maps, vehicles and scenery.
What is LOTUS-Simulator?
LOTUS-Simulator combines bus, tram and train operation in one transport simulation.
Players can select a vehicle, drive through towns, follow schedules, carry special passengers and manage difficult traffic. Multiplayer supports coordinated driving, radio communication, control-centre roles, challenges, duty rosters and long shifts. The simulator also includes tools for building maps, including terrain, tracks, roads, buildings, stops and other scenery. A content tool supports configuring scenery objects and vehicles, including materials, animations, physics, sound settings and scripts. Its plugin interface allows external components such as driver controls, information displays and cockpits to interact with the simulator. The modular structure separates road and railway vehicle content.
