OMSI 2: Valiant Citybus Family Facelift

The Valiant Citybus Family Facelift DLC for OMSI 2 is an expansion pack developed by ADIC Group and published by Aerosoft GmbH, released on 15 December 2025. It requires the base game OMSI 2: Steam Edition to operate and builds on the long‑running bus simulation series by adding a refreshed set of Volvo city buses. Specifically, this add‑on represents the facelifted Volvo 7700 series on B9L and B9LA chassis produced between 2006 and 2013, reflecting their presence in European cities such as Hamburg, Frankfurt, Bern, Malmö, and Luxembourg. The DLC includes multiple bus configurations, engines, transmissions, and customisation options for a detailed driving and management experience.

OMSI 2 itself is a vehicle simulation game focused on bus operation in detailed urban environments, originally released as a Steam Edition of the classic OMSI 2 simulation. The core game was developed by MR‑Software and published by Aerosoft, and it has spawned numerous expansion packs over the years, adding buses, routes, and systems to the original framework. While OMSI 2 remains a Windows‑centric experience with no mainstream console or alternate platform ports, the community and third‑party developers have continued to expand its catalog of content through paid and free DLC. This includes other bus packs like the original Valiant Citybus Family, Citybus O530 Facelift, and many more vehicles and maps.

The Valiant Citybus Family Facelift DLC was promoted on the Steam store page, across social media channels, and within OMSI community hubs as a focused expansion bringing yet more real‑world bus detail into the simulation. Promotion highlighted the inclusion of all main body styles, engine and gearbox options, detailed models, high quality sound design, and extensive SETVAR‑based customisation to reflect the various factory configurations available. It formed part of Aerosoft’s ongoing strategy of releasing specialised vehicle packs to keep the OMSI 2 experience evolving for long‑time players and enthusiasts of realistic bus simulation.

Reception for the Facelift DLC, based on early feedback and the small number of Steam community reviews, leans positive overall, with users appreciating the level of detail and the variety of options added by the pack. Some players in OMSI forums have reported both smooth operation on various maps and occasional issues with specific configurations or feature implementations, indicating a mix of satisfaction and minor technical feedback typical of niche simulation add‑ons. Community thread discussions reflect this blend of praise for the bus models themselves and requests for fixes or enhancements, suggesting that while it is well‑received among dedicated players, there are still areas where the experience can be refined.
