About LOTUS-Simulator
With LOTUS, dreams and ideas come true – and the best of it: every good realization will find followers and supporters that are hoping for extensions or are looking for exhausting the adventure of simulation driving. They are waiting for you!
LOTUS, that means: L like Leitstelle, (German, control centre), O like omnibus, T like tram, U like underground, S like suburban train.
Features
- Modular structure: Buy and play only what you are interested in – vehicles of the railway, like trams or trains, or vehicles of the road, like buses and trolleybuses, or even other modules that will be released later.
- Realism: Driving physics, environmental physics, graphical effects, sounds, weather, seasons and the world coordinate system are uncompromisingly realistic – that is our first priority.
- Multiplayer: Driving different tours with friends, greeting each other at the meeting point, ensure the connection by radio, coordinate everything in the control centre on your own or follow the instructions of your colleague – this and much more is provided by the multiplayer of LOTUS.
- Map editor: With many tools, aids and quite a few ingenious gimmicks mountains are moved, embankments planned, tracks laid and streets tarmacked. Afterwards the landscape is shaped and decorated with buildings, trees, lights, stops, benches, fences and much more.
- Content tool: Whether a single scenery object or a whole vehicle – with the content tool the objects are configured. From material settings to complex animation, from the design of the physics, the sound settings and the import and debugging of scripts, the content tool accompanies and supports the developer.
- Plugin interface: A discarded crank, the board information system with display, a driver’s desk or a whole cockpit can be operated with the simulator and get information back from it by the use of the plugin interface.

It seems like abandonware, but the devs are working on a new engine? No Bugfixes or patches since 2022 though, it's definitely not worth the money!22 found this helpful
It's a total scam. DO NOT BUY.19 found this helpful
This game is nothing more but a horrendous cash grab exploiting the gap in the market. If you want to drive trams, OMSI 2 has some great mods that are FREE of charge. (Not to mention Train Simulator Classic) If you want to drive busses, OMSI 2 has several out of the box as well as a lot of quality reasonably priced DLCs. It's so unfortunate this game turned out this way as upon release it seemed promising. Now instead of having an alternative to OMSI 2, I'm left with a void in my bank account. P.S. If you're still considering to purchase due to it's VR support, know it too is absolute garbage due to it being so dated.12 found this helpful
I really wanted to like LOTUS but in its current state I simply cannot recommend it. The idea behind it is fantastic and attention to detail in some areas is impressive, but the actual experience feels unfinished. Performance is poor even on decent hardware, optimisation is questionable and development progress is obviously very slow... For a simulator that has been in development for years there is still a lack of content and polish. Many systems feel incomplete, the UI is clunky and the game feels more like a tech demo. It has potential but potential alone is not enough. It feels like players are paying full price to test an unfinished project with no clear direcction (and more because you HAVE TO BUY "Modules" to unlock driving). Maybe this will become a great simulator one day, but today is not that day.5 found this helpful
