    Hello everyone,

    I’m Shiko from Hong Kong, previously the author of Hong Kong Project Tsing Yi for OMSI 2.

    Now I’m working on something new: bringing Numazu City (Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan) into OMSI 2 as a full add-on with Japanese buses and right-hand traffic.

    About the Project

    • Location: Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture (coastal city, famous for its port and seaside views)

    • Driving Style: Right-hand traffic, Japanese road signs and traffic rules

    • Routes:

    Bus RouteDestinationRoute features
    N13Numazu Station ↺ Numazu PortShort urban line, downtown streets, tight intersections, heavy traffic
    N45Numazu Station ↺ Numazu PortScenic coastal route, seaside drive, landmarks, longer relaxed shifts
    • Vehicles: Japanese-style midibus and full-size bus (own custom models, dashboard, sounds, liveries)
    • Scenery: Combination of realistic Japanese urban districts, coastal roadways, and small anime-inspired details as Easter eggs
    • Professional Japanese Audio: Ambient sounds and announcements were created in collaboration with a Japanese sound team, ensuring every street and bus stop feels alive with the real spirit of Numazu.

    Current Progress

    • Numazu Station area – detailed and lively, with realistic road layouts, traffic and buildings

    • Honmachi → Station section – looks good and nearly complete

    • Numazu Port area – under active development. Scenery build‑out and texture polish are ongoing, with regular updates planned!

    • AI traffic: includes Japanese private cars, taxis, trucks, emergency vehicles, Tour buses and Rail Trains from neighboring cities (Mishima, Atami, Fuji)

    Screenshots

    Development Notes

    This is still work in progress (WIP). Some things are missing or buggy (AI behavior at intersections, scenery gaps, texture polish), but the map is already playable.

    I plan to keep updating this thread with new screenshots, improvements, and bugfixes.

    Feedback

    Feedback is very welcome – especially from those who know Numazu or have experience with Japanese traffic!

    If you spot issues or have suggestions, feel free to reply here. Community input will help polish the final version.

    Good evening


    Really cool map & I'm looking forward to it. Finally, a map with a different feel and all.


    Nice pictures, and the bus looks cool too.


    Can we expect it this year, 2025, or not until 2026??


    Or will the map be available in the next few days? :) :)


    I'm really excited.


    And that Aerosoft is releasing it with you, really cool.


    I also hope it will be playable and drivable in BBS & LSS and that there won't be any problems. :) :)

    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    René

    Thanks a lot for your kind words and excitement!

    The team is still polishing the map and buses so that the DLC reaches the quality we’re aiming for. While we can’t give a fixed release date yet, let’s just say we want it to feel like a special gift for the community when it’s ready. 🎁✨


    Everything will be prepared to run smoothly in OMSI 2, and we’re doing our best to make sure there won’t be any issues.

    Your support really motivates us, and we’re thrilled to see how much players are looking forward to Numazu!
