What is a BUS file

BUS files mostly belong to OMSI 2. Purpose and Functionality: BUS files serve as resource data for simulation and game environments. They store bus models, configuration details, and game asset data.
How They Work: These files may contain 3D model data and settings that dictate how a bus appears and behaves in a simulation. Some BUS files use UTF-8 encoding, allowing the file to be human‐readable and editable with a simple text editor.
Key Uses:
  • XmanDB game asset files used with plugins in certain simulation setups.
  • X-Man game data files developed for use with the X-Ray Engine in titles like X-Man Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse.
  • OMSI 2 bus model and configuration files that handle the 3D views and operational settings in bus simulation software.
  • FilExt.com tip: Additional details can be found at OMSI simulation details and X-Man Legends resources.

    How to open BUS files

    You need a suitable software like OMSI 2 to open a BUS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your BUS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a BUS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
