  1. TeamDeer's post in [ANSWERED] [Add-On Managment] A few questions was marked as the answer   
    Hello,
     
    Thank you for asking us some questions! Let's get right to it:
     
    1. Like a lot of projects that we work on, alternating vehicles (AV) requires a team effort to complete each time. About a year ago, I converted every AI vehicle in ETS2 to be drivable either by players or staff. It took about 50-60 hours to convert each vehicle using Blender, write the necessary DEF files, and to test each vehicle making changes as necessary. Since all of the work was done up front, it now takes us about 10 minuets to prepare the new vehicles. Obviously, additional time is taken to prepare the community vote, analyze the date, pick the new cars to be voted, and utilize the testing team to test the new vehicles before they go onto the live servers. 
     
    2. During the year of 2021, we had many things on going and planned out. Most of these projects were in the early stages of development. Some of them have indeed been canceled due to their implication being either too complex or too simple to be standalone items. Some items are complete; however, they are waiting for the Developers to finish certain backend systems for the website and game servers. Additionally, the Add On Team didn't have very many members meaning that work too a long time as most people either work full time, have a family full time, or go to school full time. We'd prefer to release items that are perfect and bug free instead of things that are half baked and riddled with easily fixable issues. That being said, probably one of the biggest projects to date will be coming out in February 2022 with more things following in March. 2022 will be a good year for TruckersMP and we can't wait to see how the community will enjoy these new upcoming items. 
     
    3. The issues with the mirrors in the scout have been a long running issue that we revisit from time to time. Essentially the issue is that ETS2 and ATS use different textures and reflective properties for the mirrors which cause the effect. We have a plan to completely revamp the interior of the scout car to be more modern. We will look into fixing the mirror again at this time, but currently we do not have high hopes for a fix. Previous attempts caused issues with the mirrors in either game not loading or just showing a black texture. The current state was the best possible setting given the situation. 
  2. TeamDeer's post in [ANSWERED] [AOM] Update on the reconfiguration of certain areas in ETS2 was marked as the answer   
    Hello, and thank you for your question @Positivetrucking168,
     
    I'm glad that you are enjoying the small rework for Duisburg city. Many hours went into designing and testing this area before its release to the public. Making good quality map edits can take time. However, we do have plans to start upgrading parts of the vanilla map to either improve the driving experience or give players a reason to visit a different area of the original map. At this time, there isn't much that can be said as far as a possible release, but just know that we are always working very hard to bring players new content.
