Thessaloniki, Greece 🇬🇷 (Beta)

Description
!! WARNING: The map is currently available only on the public beta !!

This map is set in Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city (population ~1 million in the urban area).

LINES:
• 14: ANO TOUMPA >> NEW RAILWAY STATION
• X44: HISTORIC CENTER (temporary, fictional)

BETA Release means some bugs still appear and some side street scenery is incomplete. Feel free to report any bugs on Discord: https://discord.gg/WEfS67aMKN

All areas are accessible.

ROADMAP (subject to changes): https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1cRQvYA8sFuV9EPuSai10rvup_G-YTXkG?usp=sharing

The map is currently incompatible with "RealAI" mod, so please deactivate it before playing.

You may want to have a look into this info booklet before playing. It is about the map and the city in more detail (English): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Betf2aCEymPTYfxQgVxjwsxeABcZCUz7/view?usp=sharing

The booklet will be updated to reflect important changes in the map (currently outdated)

--------------------SPECIAL THANKS---------------------

~ To ΟΑΣΘ, Thessaloniki's Public Transport Organization, for providing the real bus stop announcements that are heard in the buses.
~ To TML Studios, for providing the resources for modding and for their helpful support while building this map.
~ To @ggb_st, for his valuable help during this first phase.

Speaking of @ggb_st, I highly recommend that you subscribe to his bus repaints of Thessaloniki's rolling stock, his depictions are very accurate, plus you will get a bit more realism driving around the city!

------------------------NOTES--------------------------

- Updates and map expansions take time. I make this map on my own with a not-so-powerful system. Your patience will (hopefully) be rewarded.

- The map is not meant to be played with Double Decker buses (you can try ofc), you will run into height related issues (at some points).

- As of now, the greek language is not fully supported by the game, so you will find that some text appears only in English.


HAVE FUN!

@pint engineer Thanks, some buildings that look alien for the style of the city will be replaced. Also by the next update the map will have more greek elements ;)

It's a very nice effort and well done. Therefore, with these kind of buildings it looks extremely weird. It's like Thessaloniki from.. another planet.

Καλησπέρα φίλε! Συγχαρητήρια για το map σου, είναι εκπληκτικό και ρεαλιστικό. Μόνο η στάση Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας έχει χαμηλό ήχο. Ανυπομονώ να δω το 3Κ & 1Χ!

Now everything works fine.
stavrostrakas1  [author] Nov 4, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
@Maximus does it work now?
Maximus Nov 3, 2024 @ 12:20am 
The map in the game has appeared now, but now I have another problem, there is no route (line).

@Maximus I have no idea why this could happen in The Bus, but have you tried this?

I subscribed to the map, but it is not in the game, is there a solution?
