Manual - OMSI - Omnibus simulator

usually acceptable up to a certain point. Below 15 FPS, viewing the
simulation is usually uncomfortable. In the 30-50 FPS zone, you’ll
notice that the simulation has reached the limits of perception,
meaning that increasing the FPS further doesn’t lead to a
noticeable improvement. You can view the refresh rate by pressing
the keyboard shortcut [Shift]+[Z] until “FPS: ###” appears.
• Controller: This is usually a joystick or steering wheel, but any
kind of controller can be used, as long as Windows recognizes
it as a Game Controller.
• Status: The status display shows a wealth of useful information
about the current vehicle, the environment, and the simulation. You
can browse through the various status displays by pressing [Shift]+[Z].
• Map:: OMSI is a map-based simulation, meaning that the
environment is contained in several “maps”. They are independent
of one another and aren’t “physically” connected to each other.
If you want to drive in a different city, you’ll need to end the
current simulation and begin a new simulation using the map for
the other city – you cannot just drive from one city to another.
1.6. Keyboard Shortcuts
A note on keyboard shortcuts: The open architecture of OMSI allows you
to create a (new) keyboard shortcut for any event that you can trigger with
a mouse click or existing keyboard shortcut. That means that the shortcuts
explained below are only valid as long as you haven’t changed them.
In the following explanations, keys and shortcuts will be written in square
brackets. [Num …] will indicate one of the keys on the number pad,
[Shift] will indicate the shift key, [Space] will indicate the space bar, and
[Up], [Down], [Left] and [Right] will indicate the arrow keys.
1.7. Graphics Settings
If your graphics card can support it without slowing down the
simulation, we recommend activating Anisotropic Filtering and
Anti-aliasing, which will yield noticeably better graphics.
