City introduction
Great Grundorf 2
Great Grundorf is a fictional city based on the original map of the game The Omnibus Simulator (OMSI). At the initial
stage, the city was not considered to be a big project while this was only made for train up our skills. We decided to
extend it widely afterwards because we discovered its potential of playability during the process from 76-77 City to Great
Grundorf 1. After 3 years of production, Great Grundorf 2, a very large map contains mixed up style of Germany, Hong
Kong and Britain with our creativity, is finally released.
In this version, large amounts of inclines and narrow roads are still maintained as its main feature of terrain. At the same
time, some improvements for increasing driving experience have also been made including new road signs and
instructions, retaining walls, beam barriers as well as the new full set of bus service scenery objects like bus stops and
related facilities. Moreover, in order to make the scene rich and modern, we added some new places like an International
Airport, Container Terminals, Border Crossing Point and other large buildings. Although the map size is about 20 times
greater than the old one, all districts can be easily accessed using the regional highway network.
We brought a lot of new ideas to Great Grundorf 2, but making a map with 34 bus routes is not an easy task. During the
thousands of hours we spent, lots of technical problems and unknown errors came out, no matter in the process of
planning, testing, optimizing or releasing. Meanwhile, because of the large scale, some developments were compelled to
cancel as it seemed that the maximum limitation of the game was nearly being reached. We understood that some
computers may not be able to play the map and there are still some inadequacies and failure in the city, but if you feel
great after trying our work, please don't hesitate to support us by pressing here for donation.
Finally, we would like to apologize for the repeatedly postponed release date and say thank to everyone who gave us
advices. Hope everyone can play the map smoothly and have a pleasant journey.

AI
Problem: AI Vehicle disappeared near intersections or roundabouts
Reason: This bug might appear on some computers, but there are no solutions as we can not find the reason led to this
situation after checking the connections between splines and objects.
Solution: N/A
Problem: AI Vehicle near intersection or roundabout do not give way
Path
Reason: Traffic priorities in intersection or roundabout had been set, but such situation may still exist because of different
distance or imperfect path setting.
Solution: Drive carefully; Give way to other vehicles anytime to prevent traffic accident.
AI
Problem: Some scheduled AI buses do not exist
Reason: We had checked the timetable of all bus routes and find no problems.
AI
Problem: Circular AI Buses depart earlier than the schedule, and passengers immediately alight after boarding in terminus.
Reason: The game is not designed for circular service.
Solution: N/A.
Problem: Taxies always change lane suddenly together on the highway.
Reason:
All vehicles including taxis will change lanes very often because "overtaking prohibition" feature of the game is not
functional. To minimize this problem, we had set only taxis can use the middle lane of highway, so that other traffic
groups can stay in lane 1 or 3. However, since taxis at the same time also belong to normal vehicle traffic group, we
can not prevent taxies changing between lane 1 and middle lane.
Solution: Use lane 3 and keep certain distance.
Problem: Speed of vehicle in highway is slow, and they always decelerate.
100km/h
tile ai
Solution: Increase "visibility distance" and "number of tile loaded", so that new AI vehicles can be loaded and started from a
longer distance.
Problem: Passengers from bus stops at the other side come for boarding.
Reason:
It's a defect of the game design. If the distance between two bus stops is too short, passengers may wait for bus in
wrong location. We found that this situation is being more serious in Wah Fu Estate, South Valley Railway Station and
River Side.
Solution: N/A.
Problem: Surface of hills are being lit by tunnel lights.
Reason: The hills on the top of tunnel were built by spline, as for the 2D limitation of light map, objects on top of tunnels would
also be lighted.
Solution: N/A.
Problem: Error caused after re-set the time in game.
Reason: N/A.
Solution: Pause the game before editing time can help to prevent this error.
texture
Problem: Texture can not be showed when driving in Eastern and Western District.
objects
Reason: The game exceeded memory limit, or caused by other hardware problems. It is more likely to happen in the areas
with lots of object.
texture AI
Solution:
Wait for a while. If the problem continues, close all unnecessary programs in the computer, and then reload the city
after setting the game with a lower graphic configuration such as decrease the graphic quality or switch off the AI
sound effects.
Problem: All sound (including bus stop announcements) break off when driving near Airport.
objects AI
Reason:
The game exceeded memory limit, or caused by other hardware problems. It is more likely to happen in the areas
with lots of object. In addition, it may also cause by the problem of disappearing AI vehicles.
AI
Solution: AI
Wait for a while. If the problem continues, close all unnecessary programs in the computer, and then reload the city
after setting the game with a lower graphic configuration such as decrease the graphic quality or switch off the AI
sound effects. If you find that it is related to the problem of disappearing AI vehicles, please refer to the answer
above.
?
Problem: Why the speed of scheduled air traffic so slow?
Path Path
Reason:
We use normal vehicle path instead of flight path for air traffic because the later one can not let planes take off or
land.
However, it seems that there are limitations for normal vehicle in the game, we have no ideas for speeding up the
scheduled air traffic..
Solution: N/A.

suggested to close all unnecessary applications, decrease the graphic setting and switch off the AI sound effects in
order to lower the usage of computer memory. If the problem continues, you are strongly recommended to improve
the hardware configuration.
