To play stop announcements with non-GX7767-made vehicles, please use the following codes to load the stop announcements.

    Route 2, Star Ferry >> So Uk
    IBIS: 2001 | Route: 01
    Route 2, So Uk >> Star Ferry

    IBIS: 81601 | Route: 01
Step 7: Change/Updates and Known Problems
Changes/Updates
  1. Added FreeTex bus stops and bus huts under Sceneryobjects\taxidriverhk_busstops. So the bus stops under maps\HK West Kowloon\Bus Stops are replaced with those FreeTex bus stops.
  2. KMB routes 6X and 212 are removed from the map because they have been cancelled in real life.
  3. Reconstructed few of the buildings on Nathan Road (including Grand Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui station, etc.), and replaced the construction sites on Castle Peak Road with the newly established residential complexes (including Heya).
  4. Some of the roads including Chatham Road North and Hing Wah Street are reconstructed to match the latest layout in real life.
Known Problems
  1. If Load whole map at start is not enabled from the options, then when players drive a long route like 6C, some of the tiles could not be loaded at some point, making the players unable to continue the trip.
  2. Although the vehicles stop because of pedestrian waiting on curbside is fixed for most of the intersections, there are still some intersections having this issue. One workaround is to move the camera (using right mouse button) to somewhere far from the intersection, then move back to the bus to reset the state of vehicles and pedestrians.
  3. Sometimes, on some of the roads (especially Hung Hom Bypass and Mongkok Road intersection), the vehicles may cut into the lane and break into stop suddenly. So drive more carefully in those sections and keep your distance.
  4. For other issues that are already reported, please refer to here for the list.
Step 8: Frequently Asked Questions

If you are facing issues when playing the map, please read the following FAQs first. They have solved most of the common issues players encounter.

  1. Question 1: After the map is loaded, nothing shows is on the map, only the sky can be seen.
    Possible Solution 1: In OMSI2, even missing one object, spline or vehicle will make the entire map not able to load, so make sure you have downloaded everything required as stated in the previous steps. If you could not figure out what objects/splines are missing, you can use OMSI Map Tools to find out.
  2. Question 2: Error occurs during Loading Environmental Vehicles stage.
    Possible Solution 2: Try to reduce the number of AI vehicles and buses by at least 50%.
  3. Question 3: Datei nicht gefunden or Ungultiger dateiname error message appears.
    Possible Solution 3: Make sure you have the final version of Volvo Olympian B10T and V1.1 of E500 (with 1.01 addon). Also download HKSouth map (can be Googled easily).
  4. Question 4: There is at least one invalid track entry: *_*, Nr. *!.
    Possible Solution 4: Use Load map without buses when loading the map at start screen. Also make sure that you have removed the previous install of this map before going to extract a new one.

If you still cannot solve the problem(s) after using the above solution(s), then please reproduce the issue first and then email me at [this website's domain name]at[gmail]dot[com] with the details about the issue and have logfile.txt (in OMSI main directory) attached, so I can try to help figure out what happened.

It was a typical Monday morning for Alex, a graphic design enthusiast, as he sat in front of his computer, sipping his coffee. He had just downloaded the latest version of Eye Candy 7, a plugin he used to create stunning visual effects for his designs. However, as he tried to open the software, he was greeted with an activation code prompt.

Alex had misplaced the email containing the activation code, and he couldn't find it anywhere. He tried searching his inbox, spam folder, and even his trash bin, but it was nowhere to be found. He began to feel frustrated, as he had a deadline to meet and couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Just as he was about to give up, Alex remembered a conversation he had with a friend, who had also used Eye Candy 7. His friend had mentioned that the software company, Alien Skin, offered a backup activation code system. Alex quickly navigated to the Alien Skin website and found the link to request a backup activation code.

After filling out the form and submitting his request, Alex received an email with a new activation code within minutes. He quickly entered the code into the software, and Eye Candy 7 sprang to life. The plugin's array of filters and effects became available, and Alex was able to dive back into his design work.

With his creative juices flowing again, Alex spent the next few hours experimenting with Eye Candy 7's tools, creating breathtaking effects that would surely wow his clients. He was grateful for the backup activation code system, which had saved him from a potentially disastrous day.

From then on, Alex made sure to save his activation codes in multiple places, but he was also aware that Alien Skin had his back in case he ever needed to retrieve a lost code. With Eye Candy 7 fully activated, Alex was ready to produce some stunning visual masterpieces.
