  1. Are the servers down? 257 players trucking on #EU 1 plus I can't connect myself... 

  2. Sigh.. Guess the mighty mods don't see my worthiness of even considering the slightest idea of what I just suggested. So much for being a Patron supporter and veteran
  3. I remember you from the early days. You moved on now, but I am silently cheering for your birthday. May you find your deserved peace and celebrate in joy, if you haven't already. 

  4. @CrazyCTRL We'll see, that's neither for you nor for me to decide. As I said it was an idea that slipped through my mind, but I see the harmony of this community (for as far as it still exists) changed overtime in the 8 years I've been a member. As far as there even had been one.. What a shame.
  5. It's not about the convenience alone though @Stones8000, have you even understood my point? There's a whole unused building in TruckersMP HQ that could be turned in a car dealership, you know.. For realism purposes. Same goes for you @CrazyCTRL. Not everything should be about convenience. But @FourP. has a good point, it shouldn't be prioritized as it would consume time for other more important projects. Such an idea that slipped through my mind and thought I would share..
  6. Suggestion Name: Car dealership Suggestion Description: If possible, there should be added a dedicated dealership just for cars (named Scout cars, for example). The car dealership could be placed in the TruckersMP headquarters! Expanded suggestion (optional suggestion): The possibility of buying former alternating vehicles is available, making the roads more diverse (but if added, the 'alternating vehicle' of the month will have less effect/use - I am aware of that, so that's why I added an 'optional suggestion' line in this template). Why it should be added: More overview and diversity/ensuring of simulation
  7. 90 km/h, simply because I only take World of Trucks contracts
  8. Cars ensure the diversity of road users, just like in real life you can encounter bad drivers. Just a risk of the career! Besides, removing the cars won't remove the drivers.. Trollers gonna troll, regardless of what vehicles they use. My suggestion would be making the car only available for serious members (such as Patrons or Veteran Drivers) who have proved themselves worthy, but TruckersMP doesn't want to become a pay2use software, and I respect that.
  9. No one expected mirror cams to be released so soon, so anything is possible for that matter... Plus, game developers try to be as up to date as possible - especially if they're responsible for patching/updating simulators..
  10. Never played Euro Stunt Simulator 2 ETS2 however: I love the tropical vibe of Palermo, Italy! My heaquarters are in Bergen, Norway which is iconic as well due to the scenic routes that it has to offer by the mountain passes, and the scenery of typical Nordic painted houses
  11. And another one from the archive! Captured in January 22nd, 2016 (I've been there in the early days of TruckersMP!), by the way no privacy infringement intented because this user moved on 

     

     

  12. Remembering one of my very first report videos in 2016!! How times changed (no privacy infringement intented, this user probably moved on or is a grown up now not needing to troll anymore)

     

     

  13. Randomly found this interesting video about the early days (80s) of tri-axle trailers, and how this simple design is still being applied to modern trailers (if not improved).. 

     

  14. Great work, really makes Cali more alive!! Can't wait for the pics of the reworked cities, especially L.A.. One thing is for certain: California knows how to party
  15. Happy (belated) Birthday, hope you enjoyed your day!

      Thank you for celebrating my birthday! 

  16. "They see me Rollin' " 🤣

     

  17. ETS2: Extreme Trucking add-on, to add off-road maps and cities/rural areas that are challenging to drive (such as the rework of Paris in general, or Italian coastal cities with tight alleyways and narrow mountain roads; main example is Amalfi Coast) We desperately need a challenge!! C-D road and Kirkenes road (the latter being ProMods) proves that, those being the most visited spots of the whole server...
  18. It surprised me no one asked this before, as it got to be the most common question on forums: What is your favorite song? Doesn't have to be specific, could be your all-time favorite song you just can't forget or just a song you prefer to listen to currently and keep getting back to (but could be forgotten within a month, theoretically speaking) I'll start: A song I often come back to is this Old School banger, especially after I've learned about the history: Old School and the early days of Hip Hop (Disco Rap) There is something about flows that are not getting overly narcissistic or violent... Especially when the sample hits hard (fun fact: this song was actually (co-)remixed for both Nu Shooz and Spyder D, by DJ Peter Slaghuis from the Netherlands; even though Eric Matthews was the only one mentioned on the LP label)
  19. C-D road got busy, even in the early days of TruckersMP (ETS2MP back then) because it's the most central located road of the map, connecting the mainland of Europe (SCS started Europe with just Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary and U.K) with England... Back when there were also traffic jams at Europoort (Rotterdam) because cargos to the U.K were the best paid jobs. Only veteran drivers will remember. The road got the reputation of 'death road' because of the chaos it occured (LOTS of traffic jams and trolls), and since everyone is in for a challenge (because let's face it: there's not much of a challenge around the main (base) maps of Europe, making driving a rather tedious experience for some) they would like to take on the challenge themselves. I mean, the most used road in ProMods is also a challenging road (Kirkenes mine trail). I hope that we will have some more challenging experiences in the future DLCs of SCS Software, because we're in for a challenge! I hope it'll be comparable with SCS earlier release of '18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker'.. My suggestion would be either an off-road challenge, or a tight spot challenge (such as Paris in real life)...
  20. A few favorites of mine: Genre Thriller/Drama: Dog Day Afternoon (1975), starring Al Pacino (known from his role in Scarface) [To be watched on: Amazon Prime] Genre Mystery/Thriller: Eyes Wide Shut (1999), any Stanley Kubrick Movie for that matter (especially The Shining, Barry Lyndon and 2001: A Space Odyssey) [To be watched on: HBO Max] Genre Horror/Thriller: Creep (2014) [to be watched on: Netflix] Genre (Anti)War: All Quiet On the Western Front (2022) Stalingrad (1993) [to be watched on: Amazon Prime] My favorite series: Fargo (too bad the removed it from Netflix) and Squid Games (maybe overrated though, but for those interested: a new season will be released this year as rumors go) EDIT: I forgot the most important of all for all truck lovers out there: Duel (1971), the first movie Steven Spielberg ever directed starring; you guessed it, a truck!! Not sure where you can watch it... The worst movie I ever watched was some French dance movie named 'Climax', where a pregnant girl was st4bb3d by jealous hating people around her, where the scene would last on for 5 minutes straight...
  21. A noob as in ETS2? False and true: False because I have 1,028 hours ingame with 645 contracts completed in World of Trucks, with an average of 780 km per distance (502,915 km in total) True because I'm a noob driving the bus, hence my L in my gamer tag on the servers (still getting the hang of it lol) The next person is over 20 years old
  22. I have several (my #1 is ETS2 by far), so I divide my favorite games in genres in a top 3 category: Simulators: 1. Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 2. Train Simulator 3. Fishing Barents Sea (haven't tried Fishing North Atlantic yet)/TransOcean: The Shipping Company (both on #3) Survival: 1. The Isle [Evrima] 2. Dayz 3. The Long Dark First Person Shooters: 1. Counter Strike Global Offensive 2. Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 3. theHunter: Call of the Wild (does this count as FPS or Simulator?) Design/planning: 1. Planet Coaster 2. Prison Architect 3. Cities: Skylines
  23. I will always remember you, Flying Yorkshireman..

     

    You used to be a common sight among the servers of TruckersMP, I wonder what happened to ya..? Cheers to you mate! Always a good laugh with ya. Until we meet again!

    IRL Trucks

    I am about to get my C1 license (already got code 95).. There are a LOT of transport companies that pay for your course, in exchange of a 5 year contract.. Win-win!!
