Sorry, but the game, or at least TMP, used to be way more popular, and the trolls had always been just as proportionally abundant.

Are you sure about that? Check the history better to see TMP have never recovered from that, despite getting rid of road to simulation and meaningful rules and punishments (no perma bans is troll's paradise). There were many people who preferred playing with just a few friends and TMP used to be the only option. They have better option now. Yeah, those are the kind of players that inhabit the servers today, cause they are being taken care of above all else, everybody who disagrees gets middle finger in one way or another. Not even war?

Here we go again. How about you see oncoming player literally named something like "simulation enthusiast" or simulation player" and as soon as you are almost about to pass, they steer to headbutt you into oblivion.

If you haven't heard there is an option to set up a dedicated servers. If you are in a big VTC and don't mind spending some donation money to rent one, instead of supporting TMP, so yeah, it's a possibilty.

That's actually not how it looks before, that contains extensive TMP map edit. Anyway, good 1/3 of the old C-D road gone in one update.

Watched for 10 seconds, first truck coming towards the camera was all over the multi-lane road and went on two wheels as it passed off-screen. TruckersMP in a nutshell, well done, great advertisement, I am totally sold.

Kinda intrigued where did you find out that new truck is coming out on TMP, which did not add any truck in its entire existence.

I promise I won't type "rec" when I smash into you cause you made a "mistake" while having fun in a very unlikely event of us ever meeting one another. I bet they will change the names in the next update to Euro Truck 2 and American Truck, and if they add drivable vehicle that ain't a truck, it will just be called Euro 2 and American.

Pressing the brake pedal activates both truck and trailer brakes always, irl and in the game, so in that sense, everyone is using trailer brakes. Standalone trailer brake control (usually a lever by the seat or on the steering column) irl is only intended for tug tests or sliding tandems, extending trailers etc., or if you want to save tractor brakes, jacknife, set the trailer wheels on fire and get fired, In the game it has nor real purpose. Modern trailers have all the automatic electronic systems like ABS and EBS that help prevent loss of control. If you really want to save tractor and trailer brakes in that matter as well, you use exhaust brake and retarder irl, and you can simulate that in the game too, typically, you don't see trucks slam braking, do you?

No, you are not out of luck. I could use my fingers to count semi-normal car drivers I have seen in my time in TMP over the years (that would be thousands of encounters) and still have spare fingers left. Although same could be said about trucks, normal driving is super rare sight as well in TMP, if you take into account constant speedy maxi grip racing practically everyone is doing. Common argument you will hear is that if you take the car away, trolls would use trucks, without mentioning that the car is actually a modded truck with mass on par or exceeding that of a standard truck (the car weighs 9 tons), power to weight ratio much better, small size (and thus a hitbox) paired with lower center of gravity, all making it superior choice of a weapon. Also, it doesn't have crisp handling of a race car these GTA players expect, but it's too twitchy for keyboard controls, so why the heck not give it to everyone and call it a simulation? Guess what, that's what the community wanted. This will probably never happen and it has not been worked on by TMP for many years, first time mentioned more than 5 years ago, but put on hold indefinitely.

It sounds exactly like this, but with some "vocals" added to it, probably by couple of drunk individuals: https://www.fesliyanstudios.com/royalty-free-music/download/goofy-prank/295

No worries, you get launched into space on regular basis if you stick to crowded places.

It's not part of the US highway system anymore for almost 40 years. Nowadays, isolated sections of this road are tourist attractions known under the name "Historic Route 66". That are just sitting there, doing nothing. Leave city and all there's only you and tumbleweeds again.

Don't like literal mayhem of C-D road? Don't go there. Don't like empty roads putting you to sleep? Don't go there. Suggest some change? REJECTED! or never getting past "open for discussion" phase.

But you can put emotes in the chat, what more could you want? Choose between racing (and get obliterated every 5 minutes) on a drag strip with crowds of idiots or drive completely alone out there on the huge map only to get torpedoed seconds before finising 1000+ km delivery? Nah, I choose none of that.

I said which trailer it is, It's an extendable low bed with 5 axles, either with all axles in the rear or one in the front, and only fully extended, for short versions cargo will not show up in the market. See the pictures bellow, those are literally only two trailers that can accept locomotive cargo, anything else is too small and/or below load capacity. Also, keep in mind it's not guaranteed to find desired cargo in external contracts, this is one of the hard to find, not available to pick up or drop off just anywhere, you'll only find it at locomotive manufacturers and some general logistics companies.

Your only option is feedback system and waiting for response, it will take several days, usually. But don't expect anybody falling for this totally believable story.

You can preview available cargo for any of the trailers with visible cargo model (or changes to trailer model): from the Main Menu -> Content Browser -> Trailer Browser. In "Trailer Model" option, choose trailer from the list, there is only basic model for each trailer, but there are configuration options (in the top left corner is drop down menu to switch between standard and various DLC trailers), in the "Chassis" option select desired axle configuration. Drop down menu with list of available cargo appears in the top right corner when applicable. You will need Low Bed trailer with minimum of 5 axles, and the Locomotive only fits if the trailer is extended to full lenght. Purchase any of the last 4 chassis options (1+4 or 5 axles extendable) - short and long version of extendable trailer is actually one trailer and you can swap between the two versions any time the trailer is attached to your truck, press F7 followed by Enter, choose Adjust Trailer option ( if the option is grayed out, there isn't sufficient space behind).

I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!

If the overtaken vehicle is signaling left turn, it is only permitted passing on the right, provided there is enough space, which there isn't, so no, that isn't the main reason.

Prejudice, misinformation (read posts above), which contributes to smaller playerbase (ATS has about 6 to 4 times less sold copies worldwide), TMP contributes to sales with sheep mentality, so if ATS is dead on TMP, which game would you choose to drive with lots of people? I find it funny that smaller map should actually be advantage in regard to TMP, considering even base map in ETS2 servers is almsot lifeless outside few hotspots.

Unfortunately, nobody can help you with this here, becasue it's a most likely Promods related bug. Least you can do is to report the bug on Promods website, try selecting "safe" parking in the gameplay options when delivering double trailers (if it will still require reversing, it"s definitely a bug), or avoid delivering double trailers to that particualr destination.

No, there is nothing but a bit of an unfinished map, blocked by >>>>> barriers, that has no purpose, probably created as part of an unreleased map expansion by SCS, there aren't even any Promods modifications in that particular area.

Nah, I think they should put tracks in the middle of the road in street running train style and have high speed IC train play bowling with unruly trucks.
