And this is why TMP is on the decline.

I know what the topic is. I only answer your question. Blocking can be prevented IF the player is unable to Alt+TAB while on a road and Alt+TAB only in safe areas on the maps. This means that the player is forced to pay attention. You enter to play, then do so. Otherwise, go play something else. To prevent blockage on roads like C-D and the Quarry road, the voluntary moderators need to be more active, both in the game and in the game chat, instead of doing something else that involves gaming. They have these roles for a good reason. If the moderators don't want to do their assigned responsibilities, then find players who are able, knowledgeable and willing to sacrifice some 2~4 hours a day to this activity. Another way of prevention would be a controlled access to C-D and the Quarry road by allowing traffic/gameplay in specific time intervals, when TMP moderators are available to attend in numbers of 5 to 10 per server [Sim 1 and PM Sim; Sim 2 is mostly empty]) on rotation basis.

Really?! Why is that?

Let's say you are on C-D. Do you know what the upper speed limits for trucks are there? I will tell anyway: - 50 km/h at gas stations, except the new one for some odd reason; - 60 km/h - 80 km/h - 90 km/h on the French highway. So, by hard limiting I meant that you won't be able to drive faster than the limit for trucks by signage.

Why does it have to be a race?! About the suggestion -> what type of mod would that be, as most people including me will never use local mods and save edits?

It sounds somewhat ok. I agree, but to a simple point - the rules, especially section 2, need to be re-written in a more simple language, so that normal people not versed in the antics of British English could understand what is going on there.

Nah, he is pissed of because he is a keyboard user with an empty trailer and has no concept of how driving feels on a good FFB steering wheel.

He is giving an example. TMP is in Spring weather right now. So... No, there will be that for about a week. When people get used to things, all will be back to normal. This will create the chaos Kael_ speaks of. Yea... better wait for after 1.51, if the players are still on TMP.

I don't think this is the issue by far. The main reasons/culprits are the excessive amounts of local mods and save edits in one zone (not by just one user). These need to be heavily limited to only GOLD Patron users. This will ease the servers lag by a lot.

Nice idea, but You should better ask for more actual events over the span of each year. This is a good example of a possible event (that would require most of the TMP staff to take part), but it should be possible to create. Let's say the story goes like this: Once upon an ending winter the fabled road between Calais and Duisburg got filled with pot holes and other bizarre creations from the melting snow. Thus the road got closed and the following inspection lead to urgent need for administering massive road infrastructure repairs. The C-D community was able and ready to help in the efforts to restore her favorite pass time spot and thus the work began. There were many machinery and goods to be delivered. The time passing waited for no one. The road maintenance staff of "TruckersMP" began to nurture a devious plan in three phases, each with its own challenges and requirements. I. Phase one - weeks 1 and 2 IRL 1. From Klagenfurt Tradeaux to Duisburg city at BCP via the panoramic Austrian Alps -> dozers; articulated haulers; excavators; compactors and rollers; wheel loaders and loaders [Volvo pack included] (the 1st week) had began their long journey toward the ruined road. From Hanover Stein Bruch via Kassel to Duisburg (the beginning of the old roads construction site) stones, sand and gravel are been delivered steadily (lasts both weeks). 2. In the second week some mobile cranes and asphalt millers were needed and thus it was required from all to deliver them from Lublin, Poland LKW to Duisburg construction site*. This lasted for 2 to 4 days. II. Phase 2 - weeks 3 and 4 IRL 1. From Hanover and Stuttgart Stein Bruch via the national road to Cologne a new shipment of stones, sand and gravel are delivered to the new site at the A73 and the overpass bridge (lasts both weeks). From Riga NCH some Guard rails and Concrete centering will be delivered to Site №1 by Duisburg and at the end of week 4 the road texture between Site 1 and 2 will have adopted a darker shade. 2. Sadly the the overpass bridge had received some minor damage from the melting snow and some concrete beams and cement are now required. The player can get both from Nice, France at Lisette Logistics (available for a short window on the 3rd week as a special delivery quest; could bring an achievement or be 1/2 of one); 3. Week 4 brings a new set of challenges as the bridge over the river collapsed while a dozer was crossing => one Dozer was lost to nature, but its operator survived the ordeal. Work shall resume shortly as there are some resources in need to be delivered anew. From Nice, France at Lisette Logistics the second batch of Concrete Beams and Cement can be taken (thus the second 1/2 of the achievement is obtained; delivery lasts in a short window no less than 24 hours). 3.1. Some new locals for shipments of Guard rails and Concrete Centering are reviled for Site at A73 (week 4 only). The extra locations are: - Guard rails from Kalmar, Sweden at GNT; - Concrete Centering from Genoa Transporti Mediteraneo; - Soil and Sand are needed this time and can be delivered from Nuremberg RTLog. 4. At the end of week 4 the road texture is changed to a darker tone and the stretch from Duisburg is opened up to A1. III. Last phase - weeks 5 and 6 IRL. A change is needed and Site 3 is relocated in Calais. So every machinery and piece of equipment delivered to Duisburg, in the first 3 weeks, needs to be moved in Calais. The players will have to drive only by land. This means that the new old road is usable again up to A1 and then players will be re-routed via Brussels and Lille. Gravel and stones are continuously been delivered to Calais's largest depos from France, Spain, Italy and Germany. The new local for France is in Limoges and for Spain in O Barco (the mines). 1. From Bastia GNT via Calvi some Guard rails and Concrete centering will be delivered to the site in Calais for the finishing touches. 2. In week 5 the equipment delivered needs to be moved to new locations : - for machinery in Bacau, Romania at Brawen Transport; - the extras in green text are for Bijelo Pole, Montenegro at Euro Goodies. 3. The last section gets the darker texture and the road is opened. This concludes the event and players could receive a reward of some sort like a paintjob. construction site* - a place to deliver goods that is close to the road works or depos within one of the two cities Some extra supplies like work cloths, Packaged food and Beverages for the workers needed to be delivered as well. Food and drinks are required each week and are delivered only for 2 days each week. They can be taken from any location that is at least 500 to 750km away from the weekly work site.

There is a huge difference between "sitting in traffic" and using all available road surfaces to overtake traffic from the inside at high speeds.

This is a reasonable feature for Patron members. Do not make it accessible to free accounts.

This will force people, in time, to stop the practice with overtaking traffic via the gas stations. Simple. One only need to think a bit and have a living imagination.

Yes. Add it and this one - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=713338424 .

Better yet - a 3 months ban from TMP. Please try next time if you are in a VTC.
