OMSI Time Sync Plugin
A simple tool which automatically keeps OMSI 2's in-game time in sync with either the system time or Bus Company Simulator virtual company's time. Optionally you can manually sync the in-game time by pressing the button on the UI.
By using this tool it's no longer necessary to manually adjust the OMSI in-game time, typically after every tour or so, due to the game usually lagging periodically and therefore the in-game time drifts from either the system's actual time or virtual bus company's actual time.

Important: This tool modifies parts of the memory of OMSI.exe. It's strongly recommended that you close any games which have anti-cheat detection prior to running this tool as this activity might be falsely flagged as a cheat/hack by one or more of the various anti-cheat solutions out there.
Prerequisites
- OMSI 2 version 2.2.032 or 2.3.004 - this tool will not work with other versions of OMSI 2
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 Runtime (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net472)
Installation Steps
- Download the latest release from here
- Extract the ZIP file to somewhere convenient
- Copy the OmsiTimeSyncPlugin.dll and OmsiTimeSyncPlugin.opl files to your OMSI2's plugins directory
- Run OMSI2, ideally without Bus Company Simulator initially
- Acknowledge initial notice and configure OMSI Time Sync as appropriate
- Play OMSI or Bus Company Simulator and continue as usual
Features
- The MPH/KMH shown on the title bar can be toggled, double click the text to switch between them
- The UI can be made to be 'always on top' or not by clicking the first button on the UI (disabled is red, enabled is green)
- The UI can be expanded or compacted with the second button on the title bar
- The UI can be minimised by clicking on the third button on the UI
- The UI can be re-positioned by left clicking and then holding on to the title bar and moving the mouse
Note: If you're in a virtual company in Bus Company Simulator then please make sure you set the correct 'OMSI Time Offset' for that virtual company's timezone so that the OMSI in-game time is correct when it's being synced.
Code Signed Digital Certificate
Any compiled DLL file release officially done by Ixel / Paul Lewis, the author of OMSI Time Sync, will have the following serial number:

If this serial number doesn't match or the digital certificate is missing on the DLL file then it has likely not been compiled by the author of OMSI Time Sync.
