New John City (NJC)

is a popular fictional map for OMSI 2, heavily inspired by the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The "Patched" version typically refers to community or developer updates aimed at improving performance, fixing bugs, and expanding routes. Key Features of New John City

What's fixed (high-level)

1. Complete Spline Overhaul

> New John City is not a map. It is a debug state. You patched yourself into the simulation.

: Ensure you have the required bus mods and common object packs (like the Freeman or Creative Street scenery) often listed in the GitHub documentation Map Selection

  • Performance: reduced stutter in dense areas; lower VRAM/CPU spikes by optimizing textures and LOD.
  • AI & traffic: corrected bus nav nodes so AI buses follow routes reliably and avoid getting stuck.
  • Stops & timetables: fixed misaligned stops and stop-trigger bugs that broke passenger boarding.
  • Collisions & clipping: patched collision meshes causing buses to snag on props.
  • Visuals & props: corrected missing textures, LOD pop-in, and fixed sign placements.
  • Sound & events: restored ambient sounds and fixed triggers that prevented event scripts from firing.

Introduction

In the world of OMSI 2 , few community-created projects capture the essence of North American transit as vividly as the New John City (NJC) map. Inspired by the transit landscape of Ontario, Canada , and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) , NJC has evolved from a fledgling project into a complex urban simulation. The shift towards "patched" and updated iterations, most notably New John City II (NJC-II) , represents a broader movement within the simulation community to bridge the gap between ambitious design and technical stability.

  • Use the mod’s release thread or the OMSI community forums for issue reports and updates.
  • Include game log files and a clear description of the problem when asking for help.
