More Variety in Street Lamps
[p]One point of criticism concerned the street lighting.[/p][p]For Hamburg, we had already implemented special details, such as the lamps hanging on cables in Steinstraße and at Steintorbrücke, or the spotlights on the warehouse buildings.However, in reality, Hamburg’s street lamp landscape is even more diverse.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s why, since release, we have created over ten additional models and variants, which will gradually replace the previous lamps.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38629408/4cf2c81f580c72965edf5df1dd14e4720f6e1376.jpg"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]For example, at Sandtorkai you will now find the typical whip-shaped double lamps, and at major intersections, new tall lanterns will be used in the future.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38629408/23d6453d1f00690d84bffdcf4b79899b69772b27.jpg"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]All lamps have also been optimized in terms of their light cones to create a coherent night-time appearance.
The wide variety of different heights and light fixtures will also be visible on the upcoming section of Line 7.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/38629408/d6c688bb068fefc8838ed9a6c9d0317c81784abc.jpg"][/img][/p]
Progress on the AI Buses
[p]Progress is also being made with the AI buses.[/p][p]The implementation is technically complex, since the tests cannot be carried out directly in the editor, but instead in a special internal game version that has to be generated anew each time.[/p][p]As the AI buses are still in the beta phase in the main game, patience is required – but we want to make this feature available for Hamburg as soon as possible.[/p][p][/p]Outlook
[p]The next update for The Bus DLC – Hamburg City is scheduled for August 2025.As soon as it becomes available, we will publish a news post with the full changelog.
You can already find the first images at the end of this announcement.[/p][p][/p]
