Hello @[GER] InfoBlock, We cannot provide an ETA for this currently. The Add-On team is busy with a lot of projects currently.

Hello, We just support the modifications created by our partners. Their licenses cover usage of this in American Truck Simulator and/or Euro Truck Simulator 2, and TruckersMP uses these 2 games as well. So this is something they need to sort. Also, buses created by DBus World will not be included as a benefit for Patrons which means that their buses will be available for everyone.

Hey @Turbo Diesel V8, The caravan is now back on our servers as you can read here:

Hello @MarkON, 1. It is currently not on the to-do list anymore, see the reply from mwl4 related to this subject. 2. This is something we need to look into and we have plans related to this. The plans are not fully the same and we still need to do research to see what is possible. 3. Special Transport will not work without those AI pilots. As long as we do not have AI in TruckersMP, we cannot support Special Transport. When we achieve this, we can start looking into Special Transport, but it will be a hard topic as those AI pilots will probably block roads or do other things which may impact the experience of other users. 4. Sadly, the person who was working on this is not in the TruckersMP team anymore. Due to this, there is no progress anymore related to this. Our Add-On team currently has a lot of projects on the to-do list, so those custom set of trailers will have to wait. 5. We indeed took a hit in terms of decreasing player count. Events will be one of our USP's, so Event Managers have a big responsibility to keep these to a high standard. Game Developers will be responsible to bring new features for the community to enjoy, such as the bus project. 6. There are currently internal projects which have not been shared to the community, it is hard to talk about this now as they need to stay internal for some more time. Just stay tuned and you will find out more information. 7. Yes, but no more information will be disclosed.

Hello @xdHycx, We as TruckersMP will not be adding branded trucks to the game. It is SCS' responsibility to provide more trucks (or variants) to American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. We will support those trucks if they decide to bring them.

Hello @Beanyy1, Yes, it is on our to do list. When our Game Developers were working on the Job Dispatcher, ownable trailers were on the to-do list as well. Currently, the Game Developers are focusing on other nice features such as the bus project. Ownable trailers are high on our planning, so it is likely that we see this become reality in the next month.

Hello @blabberbeak, It is one of our dreams to achieve this, so this subject is definitely on our list of projects we want to bring to TruckersMP. Currently our systems are not ready to achieve such an advanced feature and it will take time from our Game Developers to make our infrastructure and code ready for it.

Hello @WoreX045, Our long-term goals for TruckersMP, is to create a more simulated world which is not purely focused on trucking. For this reason, we have started to work on buses, which is a project that should be completed soon. Stay tuned for more information. Regarding a passenger mode to enjoy a nice journey together with your friend; it is a subject which we will definitely look into. Currently we have no idea how hard it will be to achieve this, as research needs to be done first. It is not part of our short-term planning.

Hello @dragonslayingmaster1000, At this moment, our Game Developers are focusing on the bus project and improving internal systems, to create features more efficiently in the future. In terms of the AI project, there is currently not that much progress. But it is one of our main ambitions for 2022, so we will definitely look into bringing AI to our servers this year, however it is a hard topic as this AI need to be written from scratch to work smoothly in a MMO environment.

Hello @LHU7Y UK, It is a hard topic, for example mods like map mods and vehicle mods are unlikely to be possible in the future. So a convoy type of mod support is highly unlikely to come to TruckersMP. Though there might be other mod support in the future, such as visual mods or sounds mods. At this moment, we do not have mod support planned for the near future, but we will look into the possibility a bit later this year.

Hey @Ash_0104, 1. Existing Simulation and Arcade servers. 2. Yes, there will be more buses later. Bluebus will be the only bus available initially.

Hey @[ConSecGroup] NightRider, We thought it would get boring if we only bring buses without additional features. So stay tuned, buses are around the corner ?
