Omsi 2 Volvo 8700

Title: The Nordic Workhorse: An Analysis of the Volvo 8700 in OMSI 2

Pairing the Volvo 8700 with a large, rural or intercity map transforms OMSI 2 from a bus simulator into a coach driving experience.

Why Choose the Volvo 8700 Over Other OMSI 2 Buses?

• Better than MAN Lion’s Coach: More mechanical feel, less "digital" steering.
• Better than Setra S 215 UL: Modern features (cruise control, retarder) with comparable engine sound quality.
• Better than default DLC buses: The Volvo 8700 mods often have more detailed wear-and-tear simulation (brake fade, tire wear) than Aerosoft’s official releases.

Volvo D7 (290 bhp) and Volvo DH12 (340 or 380 bhp) options provide a wide range of power for city or highway routes. Drivetrain:
