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.

Delphi 7 Indy 9 Could: Not Load Ssl Library

The error "Could Not Load SSL Library" in Delphi 7 using Indy 9 occurs because Indy cannot locate or successfully initialize the external OpenSSL dynamic link libraries (DLLs) required for encrypted communication.

The underlying problem stems from the fact that Delphi 7 and Indy 9 are legacy software stacks that cannot communicate natively with modern secure web servers without very specific, dated configurations. 🔍 The Root Causes

Missing DLL Files: The application is unable to find ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll in the executable folder or the system path.

Incompatible DLL Versions: Indy 9 does not support standard, official OpenSSL DLLs. It relies on a heavily customized OpenSSL 0.9.6 build containing distinct exports specifically tailored for Indy 9.

Architecture Mismatch: Attempting to use 64-bit DLLs on a 32-bit compiled Delphi 7 application. 🛠️ How to Fix the Error 1. Download the Correct Indy 9 Custom DLLs

Do not download standard OpenSSL files from modern distributions. You need the archived, customized files specifically compiled for Indy 9. Delphi 7 Indy 9 Could Not Load Ssl Library - Google Groups

Getting the "Could Not Load SSL Library" error in Delphi 7 with Indy 9 usually means the application can’t find the specific OpenSSL DLLs it needs to handle encryption [1, 2]. Why it happens Delphi 7 Indy 9 Could Not Load Ssl Library

Indy 9 doesn't include SSL support "out of the box"—it acts as a wrapper that calls external OpenSSL files [4, 5]. If those files are missing, the wrong version, or in the wrong folder, the handshake fails immediately [2, 5]. How to fix it

Get the right DLLs: You specifically need ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll [1, 3].

Match the version: Indy 9 is quite old and generally requires OpenSSL version 0.9.6 or 0.9.7 [2, 5]. Using newer versions (like 1.0.x or 3.x) will typically fail because the function exports changed [4].

Place them correctly: Put these two DLLs in the same folder as your compiled .exe or in C:\Windows\System32 (or SysWOW64 on 64-bit Windows) [1, 2].

Add the Handler: Ensure you have a TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket component on your form and that your TIdHTTP (or other Indy component) has its IOHandler property linked to it [4, 5].

Pro-Tip: If you are building for the modern web (like connecting to HTTPS sites using TLS 1.2 or 1.3), Indy 9 is often too outdated to handle the latest security protocols. In that case, you may need to upgrade to Indy 10 or use a third-party library like SecureBlackbox or ICS. The error "Could Not Load SSL Library" in

Resolving the "Could Not Load SSL Library" Error in Delphi 7 with Indy 9

If you're developing a Delphi 7 application that utilizes the Indy 9 library for networking, you might encounter the frustrating "Could Not Load SSL Library" error. This issue typically arises when your application attempts to establish an SSL/TLS connection. In this article, we'll guide you through understanding and resolving this common problem.

Step 3 – Configure the Indy component correctly

In your Delphi form or data module:

// Assume you have a TIdSMTP (or TIdHTTP) named IdSMTP1
var
  IOHandler: TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL;
begin
  IOHandler := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create(nil);
  IdSMTP1.IOHandler := IOHandler;

// Critical for modern servers: IOHandler.SSLOptions.Method := sslvTLSv1; // Or try sslvTLSv1_1, sslvTLSv1_2 – but Indy 9 may not have these constants. // If not, use: IOHandler.SSLOptions.Method := sslvSSLv23; // Auto-negotiate

// Disable outdated SSLv2/v3 IOHandler.SSLOptions.Mode := sslmUnassigned; end;

Use Dependency Walker (or Dependencies)

Download Dependencies.exe (a modern open-source tool) or the old depends.exe. Drag your ssleay32.dll into it. Look for missing dependencies:

Step 1 – Obtain Compatible DLLs

Do not download random DLLs from DLL download sites. Use known, verified builds:

After installation, locate:

libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll

Copy these two DLLs to your Delphi 7 project’s output folder (where your .exe is built).

Step 3: Load OpenSSL Library in Delphi 7 Code

You need to load the OpenSSL library in your Delphi 7 code before using SSL/TLS functionality.

uses
  IdOpenSSL,
  // ... other units ...
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // Load OpenSSL library
  IdOpenSSL.LoadOpenSSL;
// Your code here...
end;

Step 4: Handling "Not a Valid Win32 Application"

If you receive a different error immediately after fixing the "Could Not Load" error, such as "Not a valid Win32 application," it means you have a bitness mismatch. MSVCR90


Causes of the Error

The "Could Not Load SSL Library" error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:

  1. Missing or incorrect OpenSSL library: Indy 9 relies on the OpenSSL library for SSL/TLS functionality. If the library is missing, corrupted, or not properly configured, this error may occur.
  2. Incompatible OpenSSL library version: Indy 9 is compatible with specific versions of the OpenSSL library. If an incompatible version is used, the error may occur.
  3. Incorrect library path: The application may not be able to find the OpenSSL library due to an incorrect library path.
Step 10: Enjoy!

You are all set! Hope you enjoy the map!
