The following vehicles require a HKBF membership to access. If you don't have a HKBF membership, then please follow the steps below.

The AI buses are required for spawning computer-controlled buses on the map, they are used because their details are low enough that will not have much impact on the overall frame rate. But if you are unable to download the AI buses due to lack of HKBF membership, then please modify the file maps\HK West Kowloon\ailists.cfg to replace the buses with any of the buses you have (for example, winsome's Dennis Enviro500, where everyone should be able to download).

One example is to replace all lines that are in format AI.bus with vehicles\Dennis_Eniro500\ATE_MKI_AI.bus under [ailists] section of the ailists.cfg file.

Or you can download this file if you still don't follow the instructions above, extract the file to maps\HK West Kowloon.
Or this file if you have the lite version of the map, extract to maps\HK West Kowloon - Lite.

(Note: for GX7767's buses, some of them have two depots. While HK West Kowloon - Star Ferry is for KMB routes 2, 6, 8 and 8P, the other one HK West Kowloon - Kowloon City is for KMB routes 5A, 6C and 6F).

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.
