One bug: If you use special characters (ü, ß, é) in stop names without saving as UTF-8, OMSI may show gibberish. Workaround: use Arial Unicode MS or stick to Latin-1. In testing across 5 custom maps and 10 bus mods :
No conflicts with add-ons like Luzern, Gladbeck, or Chicago.

The OMSI 2 Hof Creator (often called HOF Suite or HOF Editor) is a third-party tool that allows you to edit, create, and manage these crucial files without manually decoding the cryptic text inside a .hof file.
