Hai peeps, As not hard to see I'm an game moderator at TruckersMP and today I'd like to talk about the most common mistakes while obviously driving or just in generally playing on our servers. Lately while doing my duties as game moderator while observing traffic in crowded cities and roads it came to my attention that lately so many simple mistakes are made that even can lead to further accidents or worse. Most of these mistakes are really just to easy to avoid but either it happens because the player may didn't know about or did it under negligence, which is indeed another story, however I want to talk about them so may some players can atleast take advantage of it and improve in such. To how this topic will be build up, well very easily for everyone's understanding I hope. I will most likely give some examples of simple mistakes by showing an screenshot or video, for example, of them how it'd be wrong and how it'd right so it's better displayed and also may explain general stuff about this deticated maneuver/mistake/however you want to call it. Well that's simply explained what this topic is about, so let's get started. Mistakes at companies, service shops and similar #1 Leaving a company, service shop and similar The most common mistake that happens at companies, service shops and similar is simply leaving them without taking a look, inside other players, without paying attention and/or even without having the right to leave in first. When leaving a company you will almost always have an yield (give way) or stop sign, only in really rare cases it's not like this. Obviously both signs tell you to stop in first and to have a look if the road you want to enter on is clear for such in first. Ignoring those signs and just entering the road can lead to accidents pretty easily and you're at fault for such then, you can also be punished for such when taking our truckersmp rules into consideration. Even when those signs are not there, you still have to yield to crossing players and have to make sure that the road is clear in first. The easiest way to improve in such is to simply respect these signs and take a look before you're leaving an company, service shop or similar. Every type of ignoring these and you crash into a player or a player does crash into you while you're pulling out of such, is considered your fault in any way. #1.1 Leaving companies, service shops and similar INSIDE of other players Another pretty common but as well unfortunate mistake is to leave companies, service shops and similar (every place which does include a no collision area in general) inside of other players. Some may not even notice, but it happens a lot and you should be aware of the fact that you can cause major damage to others when leaving the no collision area at the same time they do and keep on driving inside of them. Both of the players automatically receive their collision back when exitting those areas, mostly it's just a matter of time until one player pushes another since for the one the collision is back but for the other one it's still not back, basically, this is most likely a bug but you're enforcing such with your own failure to adhere that it's clear to leave the place so it's also taken as your fault if that situation occurs and another player (or even more) receive major damage out of that. The most common place that happens is the service shop in duisburg. When you're standing at the exit of the shop then you should always, firstly make clear again that the road is clear for leaving, but also adhere yourself that no one is example standing infront of the exit already where you potentially go trough since you still don't have collision enabled again. We mostly also remind players to leave the service shop there ONE by ONE and it does help from time to time, but it should be in the knowledge of everyone for such. #2 Leaving and entering gas/fuel stations Another pretty common place for accidents are gas stations. The may different thing about gas stations is the point that those have various ways to enter and leave them. However you're legally not allowed to enter them on the exits and viceversa, sounds like common road sense but it can get a bit tricky for unexperienced players. The smallest type of gas stations you can find at most countryside roads in almost every country in-game, however those are the most tricky ones for unexperienced players. In most countries in ets2 you'll have to drive on the right side of the road, except the uk (and other countries on promods). As shown in an example pinned down below you can see that you enter those always on the first possibility when fuel stations are on the right side. If those are on the left, then you always have to take the second opportunity to enter it since the first one would be the exit in that case. Also the exit and entrance is most likely shown with placed signs, however as it even happened to me once lately again I can tell that it is quite easy to oversee them when you're not paying full attention. Mistakes at intersections and junctions #1 Taking the correct lane for a turn Well coming to intersections let's start with the most common mistake that I encountered in a minute wise while observing high populated areas. Many many players don't really use the appropriate lanes for turning or even just going straight. To take the most common place as an example, which will be displayed down below also, is the main intersection inside of duisburg. When coming from düsseldorf trough the tunnel to enter duisburg or from the opposite the service shop you will be on a road with a right and left lane. The most common mistake made here is that players use right lanes to turn left, left lanes to turn right and, which isn't a point at this intersection, but lanes that are only for "turning left" are being used to keep on straight. As simple as it is, but you're not allowed to use right lanes to turn left or viceversa by road laws and regulations in most countries. Which is also a little side note, as truckersmp rules apply on our server so do normal road regulations. When turning left from a right lane and an accident occurs with a player that was turning left from the left lane then you're obviously at fault and you also can be punished for such. You always should chose wisely in which lane you're driving in when you're approaching an intersection. Last second changes of lanes are not really appropriate either. #2 Traffic Lights As simple this system is and works, still a lot of mistakes and even misunderstandings happening with regular traffic lights. That red means stop and green means go isn't really the big deal, unless you ingore such on purpose. The most discussed point of traffic lights are the yellow/orange light phases. When a yellow light occures after an red phase, it doesn't directly mean you can go immediately. Technically there is nothing speaking against such, but normally it means that you should get ready to go when the light turns green. However the most misunderstood point is when a light turns yellow after a green phase. This light doesn't mean that you can still go. You're only allowed to run the yellow light if you're not able to brake before it in any matter. If you obviously still have the opportunity to brake, then you have to and stop. Stepping on the gas to get over it while it is still yellow is definetly the wrong decision and you can be punished for it as well. #3 Players that are still on a intersection This is a very roughly discussed topic as well were arguments are meeting each other. What happens or better said what exactly are you supposed to do when you are still on a intersection when the crossing traffic get's a green light or you're in this crossing traffic while another player is still on the intersection? It's simple, if you're still on the intersection then you should try to get off it as soon it's possible for you. However if another player is still on the intersection then you simply give him the time to leave it when it's possible. Trying to cut infront them or even ram them away is unnecessary and not smart in any matter, also such can be punished. #4 Traffic jams at and on intersections With such is simply meant classis city jams. You want to take a left turn but you can see that there is no space for you anymore to properly fit into it without ending up in the middle of the intersection. However still a lot of players manage to do so, which is a clear mistake. If the traffic isn't moving then you shouldn't go either. It's simple as that. The Kirkenes Quarry Road - Special Addition Just regarding something to it in first, I've decided to take a special part for this road since there are a lot of things that need to be respected on this road. #1 Overtaking Just to start of with the most impactful manner on this road, overtaking itself. I would never ever recommend anyone if not absolutely needed to overtake someone else on the kirkenes quarry road, unless those people pull over and want you to overtake (Note: while that you have to make sure that you don't affect upcoming traffic for example). The kirkenes road has maybe 2 spots in total that are just about a little of hundreds meters where it is kind of save to overtake, but the whole rest of it is a uneven, bumpy, tight and just tricky road. If you trailer or yourself bumps off while overtaking for example and hits the player you're overtaking, then you're responsible for it. Also, since the road is very popular traffic jams are still a very common thing there. However it doesn't matter if there is no upcoming traffic or not, overtaking is strictly forbidden when the amount of players near you exceed the number of 25. That is also officially stated in our rules, any ignorance of this will definetly lead to an punishment. #2 Corners Blocked Corners - the most annoying thing that occurs to a lot of players there. You're trying to get up an hill, you approach a corner and apparently it's blocked by players being parked inside of it. Obviously the kirkenes quarry road is way to tight, especially in corners that trucks with trailers can properly maneuver there beside each other. The kirkenes road, and I mean that for real, does require a good communication between players. Even if that is just honking or flashing the lights to signal you can go up or down. Before entering a corner, make sure down or up of it is enough space that you fit in there so you don't block the corner. Just following the player infront by not even looking for such things can get you in a bad situation pretty fast and you're at fault for that. If there is no space at all or you can see that you won't fit, then park infront of the corner so opposite traffic can go down or up, so traffic can keep rolling instead of being blocked by someone in the corner. Hence why communication is an requirement on this road. #3 Priority While really set priority isn't a thing in general on the kirkenes road, there is one place where one side has the priority for going over an bridge managed by road signs so by road regulations. That is the red-wooden bridge before or after, depending on where you coming from, the hairpin bends. If you're coming from the quarry, then you have priority to go over this bridge signaled by road signs while the side coming from kirkenes city direction has to give this priority and wait. While that is the only really set priority place, there is another priority which doesn't has to be hold, but could be kind of useful for everyone sometimes. If players are coming up an hill, give them priority to move in a corner for example. This isn't required to do, however would be a nice meant act besides and maybe could even save yourself some minutes. #4 Out of Map As written in rule §2.5 - Reckless Driving it is allowed to exit the base map of promods over roads to explore it further. However that doesn't include rivers, lakes or the sea in general. The Kirkenes road is quite known for the fact that you can exit the base road and even skip some of it by going over the water, however such is not allowed to do and will be punished. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Well and that's basically it of the basic minor faults that are taking place daily on every server while it's just to easy to improve on them. I don't know if I most likely bored you with this or may even helped you, but I still would like to thank everyone who reads this and may improves out of such. If you have suggestions or stuff to add on this "list", then just let me know. I can tell that those are not all common mistakes, but those are definetly the ones that happen the most at the current time given. Within that, take care everyone! Last Note: I'm aware that my english isn't the best, but aslong you can understand it then it should be fine TruckersMP's Neko and Official Weeb Koneko

Hey Truckers, As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, it can only mean one thing. We are in Summer! After the great success of both the Winter mod and the Spring mod on TruckersMP, we have teamed up with Grimes once again to support the Summer mod on both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. In order to use this modification on our network, there are a few steps you need to follow. As we have done previously in addition to the mod creators request, you will have to download the mod from a third-party website. You can find all the information on how to install this modification on our knowledge base article: How to install the summer mod As with the previous editions of the Grimes environmental mods, this modification is optional and not required to play on our network. On top of the Summer environmental mod, we will also support the two optional addons for the mod: Darker Night Skies and Default HDR Bloom. We are happy to announce that this modification is also compatible with ProMods, so it is accessible all over the network! As we do move into Summer and supporting this mod, this does mean that we have disabled support for the Spring environmental mod. Make sure to share your screenshots using the Summer mod with us on social media at @TruckersMP on Twitter and @truckersmp.official on Instagram. Have a great summer from all of us here at the TruckersMP Team. --> View post on homepage

Had a fun little challenge driving up to Aberdeen without a GPS. Was pretty easy, so Friday I'm taking it further and will be doing it on ProMods.

[SENIOR SUPPORT MANAGER] @GGF MD left the team due to lack of time. [HUMAN RESOURCES] @Armonk left the team due to personal reasons. We want to thank you both of you for your countless amount of hours you have put in making TruckersMP push forward to a good direction. We wish you both the best of luck in your future endeavours.

[SUPPORT MANAGER] @Ali. transferred to Human Resources.

When opening the window for the car on TruckersMP and it's raining, the rain is still appearing as if you haven't opened the window.

thanks for the nice convoy @Suleyman53 @Next7 @HOSCHGELDIN

Name: /fix fixes owned trailers. Description: The /fix command fixes the trailer you are hauling if it belongs to you. (Not necessarily the cargo inside) Example Images: Nope Why should it be added: I feel if the /fix command fixes your truck then it should fix your owned trailers too, as they belong to you as well. Also it would save money in repairs. Thanks for reading, any comment is appreciated.

Перевод и мои дополнения к оригинальной статье: How to install the Summer Mod? Внимание! Версии на скриншотах могут отличаться! Эта статья поможет вам выполнить процесс установки летнего мода для 2021 года. Во-первых, вам нужно скачать мод (ы) Важное примечание: модификация может быть установлена двумя способами как для ATS, так и для ETS2. Вы можете скачать базовый мод с рекламой бесплатно или скачать мод со всеми аддонами и без рекламы за 1 доллар. Вы можете найти обе ссылки ниже. При загрузке бесплатной версии, имейте в виду, что присутствует много рекламы. Не поддавайтесь ложным инструкциям по загрузке. TruckersMP не являются создателями или распространителями указанных ниже модификаций. TruckersMP не несут ответственности за файл и ресурс принадлежит создателю мода. Вы можете найти русурс модов здесь: ETS2 версия мода и ATS версия мода. ETS2 Базовый мод - https://sharemods.com/2nn6xnk05sai/new_summer_v4.scs.html Все файлы в одном архиве (при оплате $1) - https://www.fatfreecartpro.com/i/10jzy?card Если вы хотите убедиться, что ваши файлы не повреждены, вы можете сравнить контрольные суммы исходных и ваших файлов. new_summer_v4.scs MD5: B460D78930AA724F4C1A973F37D42BC9 SHA1: 2288353345CDCABE09BCB776B79B58093FF28185 Примечание: чтобы получить контрольные суммы файлов в Windows, вы можете использовать HashTab. ATS Базовый мод - https://sharemods.com/owh9wkz0pgle/new_summer_ats_v2.scs.html Все файлы в одном архиве (при оплате $1) - https://www.fatfreecartpro.com/i/10jzy?card Если вы хотите убедиться, что ваши файлы не повреждены, вы можете сравнить контрольные суммы исходных и ваших файлов. new_summer_ats_v4.scs MD5: B460D78930AA724F4C1A973F37D42BC9 SHA1: 2288353345CDCABE09BCB776B79B58093FF28185 Примечание: чтобы получить контрольные суммы файлов в Windows, вы можете использовать HashTab. Во-вторых, вам нужно создать папку в каталоге ETS2MP (обычно она находится в ваших документах) и создать папку «mod». Ваш каталог ETS2MP должен выглядеть следующим образом: Тот же процесс необходимо выполнить для вашего каталога ATSMP. Ваш каталог ATSMP должен выглядеть следующим образом: После этого перейдите к перемещению загруженных файлов модификаций во вновь созданную папку, убедившись, что вы не переименовываете их. В противном случае вам будет просто запрещено присоединяться к серверу. Ваша папка мод ETS2MP должна выглядеть следующим образом, в зависимости от того, какие моды установлены. И ваша папка модов ATSMP должна выглядеть так, в зависимости от того, какие моды установлены: Оттуда Вы сможете войти и подключиться к игре с включенной летней модификацией. Примечание: Не изменяйте имена файлов и их содержимое. Только использование неизменённых файлов позволяет вам присоединиться к серверам. Также используйте только официальные ссылки для скачивания, предоставленные автором мода, и никогда не используйте ссылки для скачивания, предоставленные другими пользователями. Возможные проблемы: «Ошибка при подключении к серверу» Возможно, файлы повреждены и, следовательно, требуют повторной загрузки. Убедитесь, что файлы полностью загружены, прежде чем переносить их в папку вашего мода. Убедитесь, что вы не переименовали ни один из модов. «Летние эффекты не появляются в игре» «Не отображаются в списке модов» Убедитесь, что вы устанавливаете его в правильном каталоге, а не в стандартной папке Euro Truck Simulator 2, он должен находиться в папке ETS2MP. Как и в ProMods, файлы летних модов не появятся в вашем менеджере модов при запуске мультиплеера, это нормально. Если файлы летнего мода находятся в правильной папке ETS2MP, тогда они будут правильно подобраны лаунчером.

Title Multifunctional Events System Description Events play a big role in the TruckersMP community, but to date we are dependent on third parties such as ets2c, trucky, and the forum for the provision of information. As this is not an optimal way for working because the information is scattered over different locations, I thought it may be beneficial to create an Events system on the website. To my surprise, I could not find a single suggestion that mentions the desire for such a system, so I will do it today. This will be a separate page on the website and will host various features for VTCs, event organizers, and the community. By using the Events System, players will be able to create, manage, and host their events and all upcoming events will be shown in a list. By browsing through the list, people can find information about the event that they want to attend without having to go to a third party website or a Discord server. For an in-depth overview of all the features that I had in mind when writing up this idea, please check the spoiler below. These features would be nice to have in my opinion, but are not all necessary to have a functioning Events System. Example images Not everything that I have mentioned above is shown in the example images below (see spoilers) because I either couldn't manufacture it or because I don't know how to properly design it, but the general idea should be visible. Link to the Events page on the homepage The Events page will be accessible through the “Events” button in the menu on the website: Design of the Events page The Events page, based on the proposal above, would look something like this (see spoiler). The information for the featured events will become visible when hovering your cursor over the banner. Currently, the names of the VTCs are shown below because I used the VTC page to edit the page, but this could be changed to the title of the event. The example of the upcoming events list consists only 5 events on the image, but could favorably be extended to a higher number. There will also need to be a page counter below that list to scroll through all upcoming events that have been created in the system. Logically, the events on top of the list are either currently active or will start soon, or in other words, in a chronological order of time. How does an event page look like? Every event has its own page where it posts all the information attendees may need. When the event organizer has also requested an event server and it has been granted, then the server settings become visible in the top right. If the event is not on an event server, then the server settings section should not be visible. Under Attendance people will be able to let the organizers know that they are planning to come to the event. A number will show how many people will attend. Maybe a list of all attendees can also be implemented (similar to a VTC members list, but then without ranks such as driver. It would only show the names of people who signed up). Under Event information the organizer should describe what the event is about and provide general information and links (e.g. to a Discord server or to a fundraiser). Under Route they will be able to include a link to a picture, that then will automatically be converted as in the example. Under Temporary rules Game Management will post the rules that have been approved. If there are no temporary rules, there should be a default text such as “N/A” or “There are no temporary rules for this event. The official TruckersMP rules are applicable.” In order to make sure the correct temporary rules are posted on the page, event organizers will not be able to edit the temporary rules, only Game Management can. Why should it be added? Increase community engagement; Integration of features and more importantly, centralization of event information in one system; Improve recognition for (both VTC and non-VTC) event organizers that stand out and provide qualitative events on a frequent basis, but also improve recognition for events that have no access to dedicated event servers; Ability for VTCs and event organizers to keep track of their events and manage them collectively. They also no longer will need to post various chunks of information on different locations, but instead gather and manage it all on one page; Slightly improve workflow for Event Management regarding event server requests as they don’t have to check third party content anymore; Improve workflow for Game Management regarding publication of temporary rules (will also improve clarity on which temporary rules are effective on an event server for attendees and game moderators); Potentially favorable for Community Management as they will be able to easily confirm whether a VTC or event organizer has met the requirements regarding the organization of events to become verified by reviewing their event history; A private Events system will improve user-friendliness and accessibility to activities within our community as not all users may be able or be willing to use third party services. They will also no longer need to search the forum for event information, but can access it all by viewing the event page instead. I'm not a developer, but I don't believe this idea would be technically problematic. It is basically a reworked version of the VTC system that already exists, apart from a few changes. I'd also like to thank the management from Harmony Convoys for allowing me to use their name and logo as an example.

I'm no longer a Sunday Driver... but a "Trainee". xDD P.s: Thank you all((again)) -! ??

R TIME!!!

I should be absolutely clear that this has not been a comfortable topic for me to tackle publicly for a number of reasons, including my hesitancy when flagging a company as avoid at all cost, and certainly not least of all because there is a degree of embarrassment that comes from the simple fact that I should have known better and I should have looked into it more. While that may be true, and while it may well be the case that I am preaching to the converted in many cases, I feel obliged to make this status highlighting the importance of checking and double checking what you're getting yourself into when looking to invest in products — especially products which are niche in nature, such as SKRS Shifters. Preamble In order to understand what happened, it's important to first understand what I was looking for in the first place. Simply put, I wanted a shifter knob that was similar to the styling of an Eaton Fuller 18 Speed shifter (much like the one you can see in the banner above). I had seen the same kind of setup from Squirrel in this video and got myself very much set on that kind of product. Of course, that product was no longer available as CSIO was already well documented as unreliable or unresponsive, I instead followed the link within the youtube video. I placed an order, then found myself being a little confused by the lack of payment options, but rather the "promise to pay" situation. It didn't feel right, so I asked ALMAR about it on facebook, who promptly cancelled my order and asked me not to try to purchase from them again. If you are ALMAR, I didn't mean any offence. So! Frustrated and somewhat flustered and red-faced, I stumbled across Tech Affliction, which seemed to be legitimate enough, with a formal payment method, a facebook with videos, and a number of other platforms that it had posted on. It's maybe because of this trustworthy aesthetic, coupled with my previous disappointment that made me simply order a Mega Shifter (complete with the 18-speed medallion) and give them my money. At the same time, I bought my Logitech G920 and Shifter and sat like an excited little child waiting for a new toy. The steering wheel and shifter arrived, and I enjoyed it a lot at first. First couple of days just getting used to playing ATS/ETS2 without an Xbox Controller was surreal. Horray! Something different. Everything was great. Turning Point I think it was more through looking forward to the product arriving that got me digging a little further than genuine concern about the product arriving, but it was this excited curiosity that led me to realize that something was significantly wrong. From the simple act of clicking the Community tab on the Tech Affliction facebook page, I found some scathing reviews, from people asking where their products were, to people outright telling the company that they were escalating their claim to paypal, as it had been 4 months with no level of correspondence. Further searches led me to finding similar negative reviews on Steam and various other things. Suffice to say, I was no longer excited. I was a rather suffocating combination of worried and furious. The Remedy Process It became apparent that I should take action at this point, and so I did. I sent Tech Affliction an email, alerting them to my concerns. I also made a point of offering them a working week in which to respond to my email. As an extended courtesy, I also sent this message to their facebook, their reddit and their discord. I even tried to add them on steam so I could send the message there. My friend request was never accepted, nor was my messages acknowledged (nor read, where platforms allow me to be privy to that information). The order still remains "In a Build Queue" to this day, with no ETA being available whatsoever. And so, the issue has been escalated to paypal, with a number of screenshots outlining the issues. Now it's a waiting game to see what the outcome is, though from some research, I've found that a number of other victims have been successful in disputing their purchase against the company. Here are some key pictures from the ongoing paypal dispute. Note that ones with personal details (such as when I sent facebook messages, or ones that have my full address on them (take me to diner first )) have been removed: Conclusion I don't make posts like this lightly, as it's not what I would consider to be a particularly comfortable topic, nor is it entertaining in any way. Furthermore, I consider it to be an egregious and rank discourtesy to "out" a company as being unreliable without it being absolutely necessary. I do not like getting into defamation of anyone or anything, I don't like having heated political debates, I don't like being in controversial scenarios. It just isn't how I get my kicks. However, it would be a moral offence not to alert other like-minded people of a potential consumer trap that they may stumble into, especially when a fair amount of the TMP community consists of young players, some of which will be using their parent or guardians credit card or paypal to make what is a hefty investment. To that end, I have to be absolutely clear: Do not make any purchase from Tech Affliction, as the purchase will not be processed and you will have to fight tooth and nail to get your money back. More broadly speaking, research what you're buying when it's a niche product. Look at the overall reputation of the company and look at recent reviews. You will be much more likely to get what you're paying for. I now have a Scania 12+2 shifter that I bought from DrivGear via Ebay. It functions exactly the same as the one advertised by Tech Affliction, and I couldn't be happier with it. Even then, if you're reading this weeks, months, or years after the post date, check how they are doing now. Things can change. As a consumer, you should take nothing for granted. Stay safe, and keep on trucking. - Paddy.

Good evening! @Soul Knight

Good Evening, TruckersMP! ?

------- 联机插件小工具 ------- 继上次发布欧卡小程序（Trucky Overlay）的安装指南后，国内不少玩家已经开始使用Trucky，同时也收到了一些玩家反馈的BUG。 关于游戏内的Trucky地图BUG，目前仍在想办法修复中，还请耐心等待~ 本期指南给大家带来一个非常好用的联机插件小工具 FAQ:这个小工具有啥用？ 不需要开任何加速器，也不需要开启任何程序，即可显著提升联机插件的下载和更新速度 适用于Win7/8/10 32/64bit系统 哇，这么好的工具哪来的？ Roboter：咱自己编写的程序 ?下载地址? >>>https://Roboter.lanzous.com/ighMddxqxqb<<< ??使用方法?? 根据您的需求，选择相应模式进行加速 本工具仅加速联机插件的更新和下载，不提供游戏加速服务！ 若选择使用此工具加速下载或更新联机插件，请勿开启任何加速器或代理软件！ 模式区别: 模式一：此模式使用Cloudflare 优选CDN节点（联机插件所使用的CDN提供商） 由于联机插件使用的CDN为Cloudflare国际版，所以部分地区由于运营商限制，可能会出现下载慢、更新出错等情况，但此模式也是最长久稳定的模式 模式二：此模式使用社长君(@Roboter)的镜像服务器，国内大部分地区都可稳定高速下载 由于联机插件的更新时间存在不确定性，且联机插件刚刚更新后，CDN资源暂未刷新，所以在联机插件刚出更新的2分钟内，可能会出现下载比平常慢的情况，请耐心等待一段时间，再重试更新。若出现长时间更新不动的情况，请重新启动联机插件，并且在联机插件界面按F1，然后重新下载联机插件。 还原模式：关闭本工具提供的所有加速方式，选用联机插件默认节点更新或下载联机插件。 下期预告：[非官方小工具]本体&全套存档一键替换和一键打开飞行模式
