OMSI 2 Add-on Berlin X10 delivers a detailed bus simulation experience on PC. Players take the role of a bus driver navigating a large section of modern Berlin and its surrounding areas along realistic routes. The add-on focuses on the express service X10 and expands the available network with multiple additional lines through city streets, residential zones, and suburban roads.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on operating buses according to timetables while managing traffic, passenger stops, and route navigation. Drivers start routes in central Berlin near Bahnhof Zoo, proceed along busy shopping streets such as Tauentzienstraße, and continue through residential districts beside the Grunewald forest. The path then passes through Zehlendorf before crossing into the suburb of Teltow. A single run on the main express line covers approximately 60 kilometres and includes more than 120 stations.
Traffic conditions vary with 85 traffic lights and dense urban flow, especially around key hubs. The included MAN double-decker DL05 features authentic interior and exterior sounds along with multiple repaints. Players must maintain schedule adherence without collisions while responding to AI traffic and new AI vehicles on the roads. Station announcements play at each stop using professionally recorded audio.
Over 100 new 3D objects enhance the environment with accurate signage, buildings, and street details that reflect Berlin's layout. The map supports extended driving sessions where route variety comes from different lines and directions rather than repeated identical paths.
Game Modes
The add-on supplies 20 scenarios that function as preconfigured saved sessions for scheduled operations. These allow direct entry into specific route assignments on the X10 line and the additional lines 115, 625, and 626. Full access to the 18 drivable lines remains available within the base simulation framework.
Normal game mode supports free selection of any line or direction across the complete street network. Drivers can practice individual segments or complete full journeys while adjusting for time of day and traffic density. The structure encourages repeated playthroughs to refine timing and handling on the double-decker vehicle.
Map and Vehicle Details
The Berlin X10 network spans city centre express runs and longer suburban services. The X10 itself carries the historical nickname Der Zehlendorfer Großstadt-Express and forms the backbone of the add-on. Additional lines fill out the map with shorter and connecting routes that pass through varied districts.
The MAN double-decker stands out as the featured vehicle, designed to match the appearance of buses commonly seen on Berlin streets. Its handling and audio profile contribute to the sense of operating a full-size public transport vehicle in real conditions.
Is It Worth Playing?
Player feedback rates the add-on as Mostly Positive, with 76 percent of reviews positive across more than 200 submissions. Users highlight the length of the main route, the quality of the included bus, and the overall map density as strengths for those seeking realistic schedule-based driving.
This content suits players who enjoy methodical bus operation, route memorization, and managing a large single map with multiple service options. Those looking for quick arcade-style sessions may find the emphasis on precise timing and traffic awareness less appealing. The add-on remains available as a standalone purchase that integrates directly with an existing OMSI 2 installation.
