OMSI 2 Spotlight: Mastering the Volvo 8700 LE (Link Bus)
If you are a fan of realistic intercity or regional driving in OMSI 2, you have likely heard the buzz about the Volvo 8700. Specifically, the articulated "Link" version has become a quiet favorite among simmers who want something between a standard city bus and a full coach.
- Ruhrau (V3): Features long arterial roads perfect for the high-speed Volvo engine.
- Gotthard (Switzerland): Mountain passes with heavy articulation stress.
- Berlin X10: A direct express line that fits the "Link" (connection) nature of the bus.
- Volvo 8700 LE (Low Entry): 3 doors, ideal for RPN (Regionalbus) routes.
- Volvo 8700 (High Floor): 2 doors, more luggage space, closer to a touring coach.
- Length options: Typically 12m or 13.7m, affecting turn radius and passenger capacity.
In OMSI 2, high-quality renditions of this bus (such as those by V3D Studios or specialized Scandinavian modders) capture the essence of the "Nordic Standard." omsi 2 volvo 8700 link
2. Suspension and Handling: Unlike city buses designed strictly for flat asphalt, the 8700 is often coded with suspension travel suitable for varying road qualities. On "Link" routes, which often traverse country roads with bumps and dips, the bus feels heavy and grounded. It doesn't twitch like a solo city bus; it carries momentum, requiring the driver to brake earlier and plan corners more carefully. OMSI 2 Spotlight: Mastering the Volvo 8700 LE
