Manual - OMSI - Omnibus simulator

Naturally, it’s also important to know how to steer. [Num 4] and [Num
6] will turn the steering wheel. As long as you press and hold one of
the keys, the steering wheel will continue to turn to the left or the
right. When you release the key, the steering wheel will remain where
it was (so if you were turning to the left, and you release [Num 4], the
bus will continue to turn to the left. If you want to drive precisely
straight ahead, press [Num 5].
4.1.2. Mouse Control
You can activate mouse control by clicking on the symbol or
pressing [O]. Mouse control will be activated immediately and you can
steer the bus using the mouse (moving the mouse up = accelerate, to
the left or right = steering, down = brake). The faster you drive, the
more precise the steering will be, so that you don’t turn too abruptly
at high speed.
If you’d like to turn off mouse control, just click the right mouse
button once – but watch out, the bus will continue to drive forward.
You can immediately take control again with the keyboard controls.
The disadvantage of mouse control is, of course, that you can’t
operate any of the switches in the bus with the mouse while it’s active.
4.1.3. Steering Wheel and Joystick Control
The most realistic control setup is naturally a steering wheel with accelerator
and brake pedals.
If you’ve correctly configured the steering wheel (see the chapter “First
Steps” and “Menus and Dialogues”), you can activate it with [K] or by
clicking on . If the steering wheel is still connected the next time
that you start OMSI, it will be activated automatically.
