  1. Youtube blocked me on PC browser for using addblock today, displaying pop-up claiming after 3 videos I will be unable to watch unless disabling addblock or purchasing premium. 

    Few minutes later there is no trace of it, no pesky pop-ups, everything works like before.

    Is this all just a scam?

      @Titanic4@MarkONI've had these pop-ups before a couple of times, it's just a small window that appears which can be immediately closed clicking on "X" button, but this was first time that button was also on few seconds timer and the 3 videos counter appeared. I am now convinced it's just really dirty tactics from Youtube, since nothing is blocked and as far as I know they can't even do it, at least in EU without facing legal issues.

      I am using uBlock Origin on Opera browser and for android NewPipe app.

  2. Let's raise the server cap to 10k. That way, CD can become a full parking lot.

  3. It's remarkable how many participants of the Picture Of The Month event ignore its rules, instructions and suggestions.

      I love that every picture is heavily edited, sometimes less is better.

      Heck, I earned editor's pick on World of Trucks without superior 400% scaling graphics, they probaly just thought it was somewhat original.

  4. Fun fact: The longest film in history is "Logistics" from 2012, 51,420 minutes long ?

      So, that's how long it takes to manufacture and sell one pedometer in Sweden.

      That's cool to know, but that will be a lot of pocorn if you stumble upon it in a film festival.

      Just take "TruckersMP Supplies" cargo to Wroslaw with your own curtainsider or dry freight trailer, TruckersMP banners will apppear on the sides while the job is active.

      Right, not that dumbed down BFG edition.

  7. Apparently Grimes has released an updated version of the physics which solves the issues. Not so sure but according to others, it has actually solved the issue of being flung into the air and the accelerating problem.

      Then I don't know, maybe it reduces effectiveness of brakes, because I had really hard time stopping from low speeds where I wanted using air brakes, even when braking much earlier than without the mod. However reducing my speed with retarder don't seem any different.

      Also, do the tyres matter, I'm using Michelin tyres with B rating for wet condition (there isn't better than that)?

      Completed 3 long runs with the original version and I haven't had a single issue, apart from cheap mechanics of lowered grip (longitudinal?) to the point I could slow down from higher speed to lower speed much easier than say from 20km/h to full stop, when my truck just kept rolling for extremely long distance (wheels turning, not sliding)

      Never gonna use it again.

  9. Out of curiosity I wanted to compare how the vehicle behaves in case if you slam on the brake while turning in either direction. Here's 1.35: 

    Here's 1.39: 

    Someone was mentioning on Discord server that such unexpected grip increase issue was occurring in 1.35 as well. 

    1. Granite [SVK]

      Granite [SVK]

      If I recall right, default, which is also max stability, was halved at some point, now it's 0,5 was 1,0 before, not sure how exactly this works (guess it shifts center of gravity somewhat), but in general, trucks are less stable at maximum setting now, than in older versions. Was it after 1.35, or before? 

      Whats your "g_truck_stability" parameter in both versions?

      Also, stiffness of the suspension plays a role.

      IMO, 1.39 is far more realistic, turning like that would cause you to g on 2 wheels and flip, not slide like sports car, many small cars and SUVs would do that too, I think.

      Yup, same, as soon as start was announced, I got kicked and can't reconnect.

      I don't understand why this kind of event has to be held on poor server, when they could use Simulation 2.

  12. New hill climb road in Iceland,

      @ScaniaFan89 Iceland together with Faroe islands appeared in version 1.9, I think, which is very old and didn't have any dlc dependencies, it contained most of what you can find there now, except the  northern and central parts were less developed. Vestmannaeyjar - that small island was added in version 2.20 it seems, which is like 3 years ago.

      @ScaniaFan89 That island is not new either, only the western part is new/rebuilt - area around Reykjavík and Keflavík, þorlákshöfn is new (short way west of Selfoss), I remeber these dirt/snowy roads in the centre of Iceland being crowded, but now?  I wonder how many of the sheep knows you can drive by Loch Ness and spot Nessie.

      I know of one unmarked road, down in Pyreneés, if you take road south from Pau, just before you hit border, there is side road on the east side, but it only leads to a dead end, but be careful, because there is snow. There is couple more I have come across, but not dirt roads.

      One interesting road is near Fishguard ferry in Wales, check one of the roundabouts nearby , one exit leads to a town,  I think it's actually Fisguard, but the name on the sign is in welsh, so I dunno, the road later rejoins another marked road. Near one of the other roundabaouts near Fishguard leads to "Horse mountain", a dead end blocked by pile of rocks with a horse on top.

      Hmm, wasn't this one already there? Anyway, Iceland is a ghost town, nothing like what it used to be.

  16. Well the sound bugs were fixed for 5 seconds....apparently they cant be fixed due to fmod limits

    1. Granite [SVK]

      Granite [SVK]

      SSAO is very taxing on performance and my pc is pretty much a dinosaur, so I have disabled it, as even at low setting it takes down about 10-15 FPS, and it's not worth the visual difference unless set to at least medium, which would kill my FPS altogether.

      I don't believe that SCS would want to do that, they are just trying to making their games better (which developer keeps updating their game 8 years after the release?), but with Fmod, they are learning as well.

      Not only that, but new sound bugs have been introduced, I think due to attempts to fix the engine start up and horn sound bugs.

      Now I can't hear the sound of my tyres rolling or the air shifts sound while there are more than 2! players on the tab list, when the 3rd player pops in, tyres sound cuts off abruptly and comes back when player count drops back below 3. This is probably as bad if not worse than engine startup bug.

    I'm sorry that i decided to drive with CC set to 40 Mph while pulling a 50t trailer ( concrete beams ) so as not to loose control etc....NOT ( just turned off the cd road fyi )

    This is what you get for not driving like a lunatic!

    1. Granite [SVK]

      Granite [SVK]

      When I'm driving 80Km/h in the right lane on the motorway, if there are 3 lanes, 9 out of 10 speeders overtake me using leftmost lane, if there are only 2 lanes, they will often slow down and drive behind me for a while, before they proceed with overtaking. Must be, that driving like a sane person, at safe and realistic speeds, makes you suspicious of being a troll, that you are waiting for them to get next to you, so you can smash them.

      I am sick of this approach, this lack of respect and excess of distrust, that thought, you are only there to break  their "fun".

      Also, love when  they have "realistic driver" or "pro driver" in the tag, then smash you with the trailer as they blow past you.

  20. Does saying a video isnt suitable for kids on yt stop it being viewed in reports or is it only if you set it to be viewed by 18+ users that it requires login? 

    1. Granite [SVK]

      Granite [SVK]

      As far as I know, the age of "kid" in the US is anyone under 13, so setting it to "not for kids" is safest and fastest, since you are required to provide this information.

      I set my whole channel to "not made for kid", didn't read all that nonsense, but don't wanna FBI knock down my door, cause I forgot to delete one old report video, that wasn't flagged accordingly.

      This makes it automatic for every uploaded video, no problems with reports, just make sure to set the visibility to public.

  21. Trying to make a video not going well :(

    first used Movavi said 100% free, go to export the video and says watermark, pay for full version so download windows movie maker 2020, go edit the video a 2nd time, turns out you need to buy that 2 so much for being able to make videos for youtube, wanted to edit a few clips together of April Fools in TMP Did try DaVinci yesterday after a suggestion, uninstalled it and won't be trying it again, caused issues and too complicated ?

    I just want a simple easy to use one, all i'll be doing is occasionally making a video by putting clips together, trimming, putting transmissions (or whatever they are called) between the clips etc all pretty straight forward stuff :)

    like the video I want to make now, putting some clips recorded on April Fools in MP together into a video and soon also will want to put together clips for a video showing the trucks in my new no dlc save that im working on ;)

    aside from that possible a funny moments video in the future once I've gathered up enough clips and then videos of any events in TMP maybe a timelapse or 2 and thats it

    used Windows Movie Maker all along on my laptop to make videos

    don't want to pay to buy one of those software's that im only going to use every so often

     

    Anyone know of any or got any suggestions? ?

    1. Granite [SVK]

      Granite [SVK]

      Laugh all you want, but I am using Windows Movie Maker 2012 that was part of Windows Essentials 2012 by Microsoft, even complete amateur can use it and it was free, that's why I am still using it, though I will lose it if my PC dies (it's very old for PC standards) cause sadly, it is no longer available - anything you find on the internet nowadays that claims to be this, is fake.

      Only free option, that Microsoft offers now, is Windows Photos App, that's build in Windows 10, yes, you can actually edit video with it, though I don't have any experience, since I have my precious gem.

      You can try experimenting with that.
