Here’s a ready-to-use post for a forum, social media, or blog, tailored to fans of OMSI 2 and the Volvo 8700 bus mod.

Volvo 8700 is a prominent "Work in Progress" (W.I.P.) mod project, primarily led by the developer as part of the Volvo 8000-series

Swedish-Language Dashboard: The dashboard includes specific alerts and readouts in Swedish, such as "Low air pressure" (Lågt lufttryck) and detailed gear retarder icons.

1. Open OMSI 2/Vehicles/Volvo_8700/Volvo_8700.bus with a text editor.
2. Find or add the [aigroup] section.
3. Add lines for each variant you want as AI. Example:

   [aigroup]
   Normal
   Vehicles\Volvo_8700\Volvo_8700_AI.bus
   

4. Create a simplified .bus file named Volvo_8700_AI.bus that removes passenger collision interiors to save CPU.
5. Edit your map's ailists.cfg and add the entry under the appropriate bus group.

Setup & Installation

1. Place the Volvo 8700 mod folder into: Documents/OMSI 2/vehicles/.
2. If it includes a .bus file, ensure textures in the Textures folder and sounds in Sounds.
3. Start OMSI 2, load a map and select the Volvo 8700 from vehicle list.

Download the right version – Look for the Volvo 8700LE (low entry) or 8700 Coach variants on popular OMSI forums (like OMSI-Web.de or Marcels OMSI-Forum). Make sure you have all required dependencies (often listed in the readme).

If you are looking for a similar bus that is already released, I can help you find high-quality Volvo B7RLE or 8900 alternatives that are currently playable. Would you like a list of those?

Customization

• Livery: replace files in Textures folder; keep filename structure.
• Sound packs: drop into vehicle Sounds folder and edit .bus references if needed.
• AI variants: some mods include AI-config; copy AI files into routes/vehicles as instructed by mod author.
