Cool, I didn't noted that there was this options in the mod. =)

I just checked, the bus has endyear = 2050 in the mdl.
But you can switch off the end year in the loading menu in the options for this bus instead of for all mods with the other mod.

@Blackdragonbird There is no end date because Xscelsior buses are still produced as the modern standard buses in the US. It may be 2 decades old, but this is probably going to be the standard production line of New Flyer buses for the next few decades with newer buses just having up-to-date software upgrades over time, including automation upgrades. New Flyer designed this brand in a way that basically makes any new conceptional buses obsolete... That is if US regulations don't change of course.

It is crazy to think that this brand has been produced since 2008, but that's the reality of it.

Is this one supposed to vanish after some years? The mod description says that it is available from 2008, but don't say that it has an end year. In my game, year 2350, it only appear if I use the vehicle no end year mod.

Gillig makes buses too. They are used here heavy in the Southeast, and haven driven one I would like to see Gillig in the game as well.

If you have some blueprints / detailled pictures you can contact me in the forum ;-)

Hello Maik, just finished the E700 trolleybus from North America and before that the 101.
I was wondering if you almost completed the trolleybus New Flyer 40T and 60T?
Than we have some old and modern trolleybuses from North America.
berkhofsolaris 25 Mar, 2021 @ 3:09am 
Hello Maik, I wouldn't dare to call your models bad.
But I'm very happy to hear that the trolleybuses are finished soon!
Looking forward to create cities like Vancouver, Seatlle and San Francisco.

Than I will focus on an old trolleybus from The Netherlands called the 101.
Maybe after that gonna make an old American trolleybus like:

MaikC  [author] 25 Mar, 2021 @ 2:00am 
The Trolleybuss should be finished soon. There are also some other buses that no one has modeled yet, which might make more sense if someone builds them.

But if you mean mine looks so bad, I can't stop you ;-)
berkhofsolaris 21 Mar, 2021 @ 7:05am 
Hello Maik, any progress on the trolleybuses?
Was thinking of making some trolleybuses from North America, and when you are busy with making this model, than I will pick an older one.

Otherwise I prefer to create the XT40 and XT60.

First i would like to say thank you for the work you do and helping to provide content for this amazing game.If you have the time or when you get a chance could you do a repaint of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in Orange County California here is a link and images https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_County_Transportation_Authority#/media/File:OCTA_Unit_7627.jpg thank and keep up the good work. :)
ethan2226 18 Jan, 2021 @ 8:56am 
Can we get a generic recolorable version of this bus?
GoddessGaming1520 17 Dec, 2020 @ 10:46pm 
great mod
cion761 30 Nov, 2020 @ 11:42pm 
Can you make these like the stretch version?
DeBones 30 Nov, 2020 @ 5:13pm 
14? For me, it's 18.

I am probably going to be a nuisance but we're still waiting for the XDE60. Bonus; the XDE35 as well
Alexgerman123 30 Nov, 2020 @ 9:00am 
why does the game limit the passanger capacity to 14?
Iamlspdfr 30 Oct, 2020 @ 7:55pm 
Awesome mod, ever thought of doing a Mci D4500 or D4500CT?
DeBones 12 Sep, 2020 @ 12:58am 
I humbly request the making of well know mass transit liveries in NA and the 60ft articulated version pls.
习近平 2 Sep, 2020 @ 4:39am 
Can you make modules for the 2007-2011 Orion VII buses?
berkhofsolaris 27 Aug, 2020 @ 3:34am 
Oké, good to hear:-)
Hope you find the mood to finish both trolleybuses (no presure).

If you need some insparation for the texture you could google for:
Trolleybus XT40 Seattle
and for the articulated:
Trolleybus XT60 San Francisco

Thanks again and please let me know if I can help!
MaikC  [author] 27 Aug, 2020 @ 2:11am 
Yes i have and no thx i finish it myself
berkhofsolaris 26 Aug, 2020 @ 11:06pm 
Hello Maik, do you already have the mesh of the trolleybus? Because I was talking about that.
Could I than try to finish it? I would really love some American trolleybuses.
MaikC  [author] 26 Aug, 2020 @ 2:39pm 
There is no need to make a own version, as i said i have the mesh done. Just missing some lights.
berkhofsolaris 26 Aug, 2020 @ 7:33am 
I understand, playing the game is more fun than modding:-)
Than I will try to make a trolleybus version on my own, If i succeed than I will aks for your permission to put it on steam.
MaikC  [author] 25 Aug, 2020 @ 11:03am 
@berkhofsolaris I've built the articulated for a long time, but the lights for TPF2 are missing, but at the moment I'm not in the mood for modding.
@letters that depends on how the respective modder implemented it in his mod. But if the line is the same as on my mod then it works.
老爸 25 Aug, 2020 @ 7:06am 
Hi OP, I read your reply half year ago regarding letters available on destination display. ("If you want more open: nwexde40_labels.lua Search for the line, add more letters"). Does it also work for other vehicles according to your modding experience?
berkhofsolaris 24 Jul, 2020 @ 10:30pm 
Hello Maik, are you planning to make the articulated 60?
I was also wondering if you could make trolleybuses for this one and the XT60 (If you have planned that one). I would love to make repaint of those for Seatlle, Vancouver, San Francisco, Dayton and Philadelphia (maybe Boston, but in they have another trolleybus).

Thanks for your help:-)



Accursed 3 May, 2020 @ 6:01pm 
Is there anyway to get the 60 variant working? Also it seats 18, not 65.
MaikC  [author] 25 Apr, 2020 @ 1:03am 
Whoops. These are very little horses ;-) Have to check this, thx.
caddywonkus 24 Apr, 2020 @ 5:19pm 
Love it! But a question: how do you cram the horses into the fuel tank? (the Engine Type shows "Horse" ;) )
gavt1976 4 Apr, 2020 @ 1:57pm 
Are we going to see more of these, like we did in TpF1, because i do use them all the time. :)
Falconpilot99 18 Mar, 2020 @ 4:27pm 
you should make the subway cars!!!!!
Six 29 Feb, 2020 @ 7:29pm 
Great job, and chance you can make the bendy or articulated version?
MaikC  [author] 7 Feb, 2020 @ 9:10am 
There is a Night shader mod somethere in the workshop.
Purisima Concepcion 6 Feb, 2020 @ 9:49pm 
How did you get the night pictures?
Asidecay 2 Feb, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
Seats 18, not 65 as advertised.
Ceez2772 18 Jan, 2020 @ 10:19am 
Any Chance of you making a Gillig Low Floor, Nova LFS or any other American Buses??
MaikC  [author] 13 Jan, 2020 @ 12:21pm 
If you want more open: nwexde40_labels.lua Search for the line, add more letters
MaikC  [author] 13 Jan, 2020 @ 12:19pm 
Not all letters work, but Q should work. Must not have a space in it.
They work: [A | E | L | M | N | S | Q | U | X]
villavine10 13 Jan, 2020 @ 9:33am 
How did you get the “Q” in the Q56, because whenever i type a letter in the bus line name it doesn't show on the bus.
GoddessGaming1520 10 Jan, 2020 @ 7:43am 
can we get a bendy version?
MaikC  [author] 9 Jan, 2020 @ 7:50am 
Pure coincidence, the picture here was just the template for the destination display

DECK NEEP 8 Jan, 2020 @ 3:42pm 
Dude are you from queens? the Q56 is the most unreliable bus!
Yogi the Kodiak Bear 8 Jan, 2020 @ 2:48pm 
Just looked at my Comment from below. I am not asking for much, am I? Ignore about 90% of what I typed.... Thank you adding the XDE40 to TPF2.
user 7 Jan, 2020 @ 1:51pm 
Auch ab 2008 ist der Bus nicht zu finden, woran liegt es?
Aktiviert ist er auch.
MadMat43 7 Jan, 2020 @ 9:22am 
wow, it only 18 capacity 😅😅
MaikC  [author] 7 Jan, 2020 @ 2:53am 
Steht in der Beschreibung
- Verfügbarkeit: ab 2008
user 6 Jan, 2020 @ 5:47pm 
Ab wann ist der Bus Ingame? Ich sehe und finde ihn nicht...
Yogi the Kodiak Bear 4 Jan, 2020 @ 9:14pm 
@Maik: Could this model be repainted with CMBC (Vancouver, BC) colours, as was done in TPF1; also, it would also be great if "Fishbowls" (GM), D40 and D60 high floor and also low floor (New Flyer) could also be repainted in the older BC Transit livery, and then NovaBus (40 footers), and XN40 and XN60 models,.... just a request from someone who knows absolutely nothing about modding and repainting, but who truly enjoys TDF......
