Tips for driving in busy events By ash.exe With the recent introduction of the "Destination Hannover" event, Hannover city became more busier than usual to drive in. This guide will go over some tips for driving in busier events such as World of Trucks events (i.e. Genoa Bridge, Destination Hannover) or TruckersMP events (i.e. Operation HQ). Please note this guide doesn't just apply to the current event but will also apply to future events hosted by WoT and TMP. 1. Always adhere to the Game Moderator's request - Game Moderators in TruckersMP aren't just here to ban reckless drivers. They also help out in situations like traffic. If a Moderator asks you to do something or not to do something, please adhere to their request to avoid creating further problems. 2. Make sure your PC can handle traffic - If your PC can handle the traffic on the C-D road or Calais city, then it may most likely do well in busier events too. If your PC cannot handle traffic well, reduce your settings or drive in single player. 3. Only Merge In Turn when conditions allow for it - Merge In Turn reduces congestion behind you by allowing drivers to use the full length of the lane and merging at the lane closing point. This should be conducted in slower speeds and on entry slip roads only. I've seen many drivers make the mistake of Merge In Turning at the exit slip road which will block drivers continuing straight ahead from the highway. The first image shows a bad "Merge In Turn" and the second image shows a good "Merge In Turn". RED: Do not attempt to merge in turn and continue straight ahead to prevent blocking traffic missing this exit. GREEN: Enter this lane as soon as possible if you are exiting this highway. RED: Do not attempt to Merge In Turn too early as you are likely to cause a congestion behind you. GREEN: Use the full length of the lane and merge into the next lane when you find a gap. BLUE: Leave some space for people in the green lane to merge into as you reduce congestion on that lane! Do NOT block or prevent people in that lane from entering the lane. 4. Don't spam the horn! - It's incredibly annoying for other drivers around you to have to deal with you spamming the horn, especially when it doesn't really do anything. Only use the horn if another vehicle is about to crash into you. Also some people want to listen to music and not listen to horns. 5. Always plan out a route that doesn't take you into too much traffic - It is usually a good idea to decide how you'll get to your destination logistic company in the smallest amount of time possible. That's where the TMP map would be useful: https://map.truckersmp.com/. Of course traffic is going to be inevitable but it does save you some time. I encourage you to avoid using the route preplotted by the game as everyone will be using that. 6. If you cannot wait any longer in the traffic, run /disconnect - Typing /disconnect in the chat box will disconnect you from the server and will cause all drivers to disappear. This is extremely useful if you need to leave the game but still in traffic. This will also NOT delete your job and will log the job normally on WoT and any VTC logging system you might be using. 7. Drive in single player mode - Of course you also have the alternative of driving in single player if it is too busy. Again this will not delete your job. 8. Do not overtake traffic if you are going to the same destination as them - This isn't usually a good idea because if traffic is gridlocked, then merging back into the traffic will be difficult and may block off any drivers trying to get to another destination. 9. If you are driving with friends, please be considerate of other drivers on the road - Everyone is trying to get to the same destination so expect the convoy to split up. If the convoy splits up, do not try to remerge the convoy as it creates more problems for others around. I hope this guide is helpful and hope you all have a safe drive. Any questions??? Drop them below.

Suggestion Name: Option to hide players inside the non-collision zone. Suggestion Description: If this option is enabled, players inside the NCZ will not be visible to other drivers inside and outside NCZ. Players inside the NCZ with this option enabled will only be able to see drivers outside the NCZ to allow them to observe traffic around them. If a game moderator is moderating a session, they will only be able to see the suspect inside the NCZ and no other drivers around in the area. This option can of course be disabled. If the player leaves the NCZ, they will be put into a 5 second ghost mode after leaving to prevent collisions with other individuals leaving at the same time, regardless if this option is enabled. Any example images: Not an example but this sums up this in a flowchart. Why should it be added?: This option should be made available for all players as driving around busier areas and in convoys is usually difficult for low end PC users. When this option is enabled, this might boost frames for low end users. In addition to this, this would be useful for convoys or collecting cargo as it is difficult to reverse into a bay while other drivers are around. This option may also be useful for game moderators as this improves their visibility on their suspect.

Congratsss!! @Cats , @McNico and @Shadel ? ?? <33

Suggestion Name: More options for the Caravan. Suggestion Description: As Caravans are popular for holidays in the UK and Europe and for bank holidays, I thought maybe have more options for the current Caravan. For example, double axle like real life you see cars towing a Caravan and it has ether one axle or 2. perhaps even add a bike rack for a feature on the back. Plus a little longer variant to like cars sometimes have a small one or a long one. Any example images: Yes In this link. https://elddis.co.uk/brands/buccaneer Why should it be added?: This should be added to as it would make the Caravan more realistic in game rather than having no choices and other players might start using it again since the Caravan is now back in game again.
