Back in the mid-80s! With this add-on, the player can take control of a completely new Hungarian bus, adapted to work in Germany, allowing him to take a ride through the streets of Berlin and other cities and towns of Eastern Germany. The bus has a length of 16.5 metres, with its engine located under the floor. A thruster rear axle makes it comfortable to move around the narrow streets of the big cities. During the 90s many buses were re-exported into many ex-Soviet countries. The add-on includes versions made for many cities of some CIS countries (Russia, Belarus). The Ikarus 280.02 is presented in versions from 1984 to 1987. They all differ in both appearance and interior. The bus has a 6-speed manual gearbox and a six-cylinder diesel engine D2156HM6U, which allows it to reach a top speed of 60 km/h. It is adapted to work in Germany, so the road train signs and head parking lights are missing. Also, it differs in the almost complete absence of window leafs in the passenger cabin (2 per section). Version 280.02 1984-1: One of the earlier versions. The bus has old seats and Trilex system diskless wheels . Version 280.02 1984-2: The introduction of mechanical ventilation over the driver's head. Version 280.02 1985 established a new type of Euro disc wheels and new seats in the passenger cabin. Version 280.02 1986: No decorative moulding on the bonnet. Version 280.02 1987 established a new broad rubber moldings.
