HK_West_Kowloon_2.00_MAN_F90_Static_Vehicle.zip) by JG249: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.
If you have a HKBF membership, then please download all of the following vehicles:
Please follow the instructions specified on each of their pages to install the vehicles.
If you have any of the following vehicles, then please download the corresponding HOF file packs and route display files.
Please note that the route display and stop announcement for some of them may not be complete.

some of the tiles could not be loaded at some point, making the players unable to continue the trip.
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.
