I spent a bit more for dinner today.

Congratulations to the winner, Slavik_32RUS, of RACING CHAMPIONSHIP - SPRING 2019 and also the first person who has got an award on their profile.

Do you remember konfig0 with his car and the caravan? As you may remember his driving skills were very bad. Well, let's check if he got better.

Probably not ...

Video is by @Moh_, big thanks to him for letting me sharing this!

1 year at TruckersMP! It is so incredible how the time quickly passed! And I am really happy that @Smoky_TMP was the one who gave me the chance to join the team.

But now it is a time to celebrate it with some coding.

Sometimes it is nice to go with newbies and teach them stuff from MP.

It has never been about numbers. On the other hand, it is nice to see such a huge progress in terms of the official Discord guild!

Today we are celebrating the milestone of 20,000 members! How further can this go? 

Really nice day with @Anriandor

Feels great to fix my own bug report. It was made before I even joined the team.

Working on the event "Start Your Engines" with @Anriandor.

My first delivery. I look forward to a next one, this is seriously a beautiful game!

Big thanks to @GGF MD. I really enjoyed driving with him.

Great demonstration of our latest update from @Toast. Good job!

Patreon has proven once again how our community is amazing! All these things we have achieved in last hours are incredible and none of us has expected it! And those numbers are crazy!

• Our expectation was that there will be much more $1 tier supporters than $5 supporters. But well, the opposite is correct. There are many times more Master Truckers than Truckers!
• Goal of 100 Patrons was met in under 6 hours, the second goal of the money per month was achieved in under 8 hours!
• There have been a lot of people who decided to pledge more than only $5. As I said, I personally did not even expect to have more than a few $5 tier supporters!

Thanks to everybody who has supported us in any way. Because you have made it easier for us to mantain and expand this hobby project.

This is the actual situation, just 33 hours after its release:

A brief summary of 2021:

Just a little throwback. https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/profile/2089-vivλ-hh-kяλvλtiξ/&status=98284&type=status @[VIVΛ HH] KЯΛVΛTIΞ

So awesome TruckFest! Big thanks to @Rev. for making this huge event and @derpatrick9 for leading us. I really enjoyed it.

And @MrCipr was staying next to me.

A brief summary of 2022:

If you are interested in our development and you missed our news about our open source project, do not forget to check the latest development announcement. We have created a reaction role bot for Discord which can be used by anybody (if you follow the license)!

The year 2020 has been a roller coaster for all of us due to the world situation. Although, that has not stopped us from continuous work.

In our client, we have supported 9 different game versions for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and 10 for American Truck Simulator. Both games have received support for three major versions. Additionally, one major external engine started powering TruckersMP as well; FMOD. The support is still not perfect, nevertheless, it does not cause any game crashes. And of course, no new additional content for the games has been forgotten.
However, making support for new content or game versions are not the only things we are doing. In the past year, we have released tons of features such as the dynamic speed limit, support for ProMods Canada, a new system of permissions for staff members, or hiding the oversize cargo offers from the job market. We have also brought back spectating other players (only for staff members), featured a system of maximum amount of accessories and hookups, created an automatic system for synchronizing all possible accessories in-game, boosted our partnership with TruckersFM through new chat commands and a new UI radio box with real-time information, and improved the experience for players with a Razer Chroma keyboard. And that is just a shortlist of all of that!
As we are creating a modification for existing games, we must make sure that every change to the game core is working and does not cause any crashes. Although, sometimes new bugs are introduced in our client by an accident as well. We have not been ignoring this and thus, the list of all fixes in this year is enormous. As an example, take a look at the 0.2.2.6.7 version! Either way, honorable mentions might be fixing the generation of the rain probability, using AltGr in combination with other keys, or the crash caused by using the hq_screenshot command.

Discord has not been left out either. Both Discord bots (Botdottir and Botranktir) have received an overhaul thanks to which we could make them accessible for anybody! A few weeks later, Botdottir became verified by Discord. This verified bot is now proudly overseeing our official Discord guild with over 140,000 members. That is twice more than a year ago!

But not only our Discord guild has reached such amazing numbers. This year we have broken the record of concurrent players. Because on 4th April, 17,524 truckers were exploring the map at the same time. That is just incredible...

Either way, we are expecting the year 2021 to be better than this one. Some of exciting features are already on their way!

Just a few hours ago we released the new system for virtual trucking companies. Something that has been a wish from the community for years. And today we made it real. Months of developing and weeks of testing have ended with today.

Even when we all planned and tested, it did not go as intended. On the other hand, I believe it was a success and we have always tried to fix all issues within minutes. There are always things to improve and we will learn again from this. For example that we should not trust the built maintenance mode...

A huge dream of the TruckersMP community and also us, developers, has come true. And I believe this is only the start of companies in TruckersMP. When we talk about companies - at the moment of writing this post, 226 companies have already registered on the site. That is crazy.

Enjoy these beautiful roads with the sunset.

Congratulations, brother! I believe you will keep the same great work as you have done so far! 

Thank you all for today's birthday wishes, I really appreciate them. It is nice to see so many people have noticed that today is a special day for me.

Was soll ich sagen? Nur 2 Freunde.

Thank you for very nice journey, @Anriandor!
