Suggestion Name: More admins
Suggestion Description: Hiring more admins but from countries from different times zones who are obviously good at English
Any example images: Not applicable
Why should it be added?: I was in europort before and it was really bad but apparently all the admins were asleep so i thought that if we had admins from multiple time zones, you'll reduce any problems. -
Have you tried lowering your graphics to the minimum? Might prevent that. Only a strong cpu/combo will be able to go head on with Rotterdam without crashing at full graphics. Also try not to have anything else open, like 50 tabs in your browser (guilty).
Especially Google Chrome, that takes up most of your RAM
I have 10 tabs currently open on Chrome and this is how much RAM it's using, (My dad use to have problems with Chrome taking up most of his computer memory)

Great guide, however 2 little things...
First part about damage. I noticed one thing driving with 30%+ damaged tires... once the tires get to a point in % the damage bar only shows the tires damage so you dont know the actual damage with out going to the Diagnosis part of the game (stop in a safe spot hit esc its on the right under my truck). Why drive with damaged tires? Well for one thing if you know what your doing even at 50% the truck is controllable. Second anything beyond 40% simulates a snowy/icy road.
Second you forgot Possible in ASAP
Same with mine, and next thing i knew it got pinned I actually thought it would of been added to the Report topic...
More tips:
If you got a longer load, aka not special containers, and unsure if you can make the turn without going in the other lane at the first curve in, enter the opposing lane before turning.
The GPS route is the one you want when heading out, as you still need to make a right anyways
Loading into ETS2MP around Rotterdam should be done within no collide areas otherwise you highly risk loading into someone else and giving someone a bad day
Avoiding Europort is a better idea overall, especially when the 2.5k player cap is gone.
Added both of your information and quoted it ) and edited it some more

Now we have all heard of the infamous Europoort where it can cause many bans/kicks and also many trips to the repair station. With the help of some fellow truckers (mentioned in the text somewhere) and what I've seen from driving, I have come up with a survival guide on europort.
Most important tip - Treat people how you
want to be treated and don't do stuff you wouldn't do in real life
There is also an ETS2MP based Highway code you can read (W.I.P)
- CCTV
If you know your journey goes through Europoort, you can check the CCTV to see how busy it is
- Reporting
The following links will help you report someone in game.
- You're banned, what do i do?
You can make an appeal here
- Journey to Rotterdam/Europoort
Make sure you have plenty of fuel, Make sure your truck is 0 or a relativity low damage point, If it above 10%, i would recommend having a repair because engine problems can be a pain and may annoy other truckers.
- Journey towards Europoort
I recommend staying in the left lane as this means you won't need to change lane and at the merge lane section, this will cause less problems and possibly less queues
From the merge lane to the europoort, make sure you don't go on the wrong side of the road as this will cause you more problems, possibly delay your delivery even more as you will have to battle two sides of road at the same time and it will mainly lead you into a ban.
As well as this when you are doing jobs, Your GPS will tell you to follow the blue line, But if it busy on that area, Use the red line, I have found this to be faster and less congested then the blue line
Europoort non-collison zones
The lines in Orange is where the Non-collision start (Going towards the port) and close (Going away from the port), If you have a trailer truck when going out, please bare this in mind and if you are going out without a trailer, please slow down and leave enough room so you don't go inside of the truck and cause problems.Aurora has created a useful video on how to survive in Europoort which is better than mine
Dashcam
For recording Rammers etc, i recommended a service called Plays.tv or shadowplay (Nvidia only)
Plays.tv or shadowplay will allow you to record a crash that just happened, you press two keys on your keyboard and then it'll record a previous 2 mins or how ever long you have set it for and then you upload it online and then fill out a report.
Plays.tv is like YouTube where you can upload videos but in game you press the key bind to record like the last 2 mins or more then you close the game and open up the plays.tv editor which allows you to crop the video down and then you upload it to plays.tv
General Tips- Turn of beacons whilst in the area if it is laggy as this will reduce lag.
- If you know your truck is truly stuck or broken down press F7 and enter as soon as possible, This will make everyone's lives easier. "I noticed one thing driving with 30%+ damaged tires... once the tires get to a point in % the damage bar only shows the tires damage so you dont know the actual damage with out going to the Diagnosis part of the game (stop in a safe spot hit esc its on the right under my truck). Why drive with damaged tires? Well for one thing if you know what your doing even at 50% the truck is controllable. Second anything beyond 40% simulates a snowy/icy road." - Egg-Roll
- If you accidentally hit someone just say sorry an that you didn't mean it, so it doesn't escalate further down the road or in chat.
- If you want to leave the game, park up somewhere safe so you don't spawn in the middle of the road.
- Don't spam the horn, 1 or 2 times may be long enough but not 10 times in a short time as this is annoying (If they didn't hear you the first time, they probably didn't hear you the 100th time.You could also use your light horn in your truck (Basically turns your lights on for a short time)
- Make sure you leave plenty of room between you and the truck infront
- Just have patience seen as the admins are doing everything
- Also please don't push in, This will generally happen when there is a long queue but people drive past on the wrong side to get further into the queue. Please don't do this and this may hold you even longer and if people are like me ( ), were they hate people who jump in, They will make sure you don't push infront of them.
- If you require the need to chat, it may be better to stop the truck as I've found from personal experiences is that driving at 55mph in a built up area then you use chat, your truck then has no control so you crash and possibly annoy someone.
- Sometimes use an external view instead of a internal view as this may save abit of your framerate, you can also press F11 which will turn off player tags (Saves around 3 - 7 FPS, as tesco says, every little helps)
- Try and remember the correct side of the road you're driving on when going to Ferries - Uk (Left side) Outside of UK (Right side)
Also don't park in the tunnel before europoort (Like i did in the pic) as this can be highly annoying at times
More tips - thecharrr- If you got a longer load, aka not special containers, and unsure if you can make the turn without going in the other lane at the first curve in, enter the opposing lane before turning.
- The GPS route is the one you want when heading out, as you still need to make a right anyways
- Loading into ETS2MP around Rotterdam should be done within no collide areas otherwise you highly risk loading into someone else and giving someone a bad day
- Avoiding Europort is a better idea overall, especially when the 2.5k player cap is gone.
Anyway good luck truckers:)
P.S. if you don't feel like going into Rotterdam, travel to Amsterdam, It is only a couple of mins longer added onto your journey but it can be generally safer.WARNING - New rule has been implemented
Useless traffic in excessively high population areas - Kick / Ban
Useless traffic in excessively high population areas such as Europoort, Rotterdam or the roads surrounding Oxnard. Driving without reason to and from or anything similar.

Just saw the new trailer update video (Here it is if you haven't seen it)
Just a thought is how are people going to cope with some of the tighter corners e.g. the one going to the port in rotterdamn?
And are people going to find it more harder to park now seen as there are two points of rotation (Dunno what they're called) Instead of one?
-
personally you'd be better off with the dremel option, its quicker plus by looking at the picture i don't think a rubber band is guna help
I couldn't try the dremel seen as my dad doesn't have one and he also doesn't have a metal drill bit but thanks anyway:) but i had to improvise by wiggling the plastic enough and then i could thread the screw out by hand
-
ok/ i'll try it today or something depending if my dad has one

3: Next you'll be presented with the agreements of the mod. Make sure you read the full thing carefully as your agreeing to anything here. After you've finished reading click agree and then next to proceed.
Does anyone actually ever read the agreements?

This picture will help. (Sorry its blurred)

Suggestion Name: talking in menus etc
Suggestion Description: At the moment you are only able to talk whilst driving or stationary in the game but you should be able to use chat when you are in menus.
Any example images: Nope.
Why should it be added?: It would be easier because currently if you get asked a question in chat and you are in a menu, you then have to get out of the menu and then reply to them in chat, which can be annoying if you are sorting out of company. -
I've re-downloaded so i'll see what happens
-
no im on about like if everyone who played ets2mp in December did a total of a million jobs then it would say on the stats page how many jobs were done by players

Suggestion Name: ETS2 Stats page
Suggestion Description: Where you can view various stats such as how many miles have been driven a month by everyone, or just local, You could view how many trailers have been delivered etc.
Any example images: Nope.
Why should it be added?: It would just be really cool to see how well the trucking community is doing together- 1

Non - Collision zones and kicking
in Rejected
Posted
I put 2 suggestions into one forum just so it looks cleaner and less like spam
Suggestion 1
Suggestion Name: Non-collision zones at petrol stations and hotel thingies (Forgot there real name)
Suggestion Description: At the moment there are collision zones for both of them and i just think it would be more beneficial to make them non collision zones.
Any example images: Nope.
Why should it be added?: A non-collision zone in a petrol station would allow quicker filling up, It stop people from blocking the petrol station (Happened to be before) And for the hotel it will just make it easier as it could get quite busy so collisions could be likely
Suggestion 2
Suggestion Name: Teleporting when getting kicked
Suggestion Description: IF you get kicked, you teleport to the nearest garage to repair them selfs etc
Any example images: Nope.
Why should it be added?: Because i keep on seeing loads of Alf - F7 in chat with people banned and kicked etc. But if they are kicked, they'll spawn back there but if there banned, It is more work for the admin because they have to deal with the requests when simply, they could of just kicked them and then they'll teleport to the garage and repair them selfs. But i think this should be limited as the system could be abused by drivers
