TruckersMP Featured Zone

[MisterAndeh]

Greetings truckers!

Since the first iteration of Real Operations back in 2017, it has been one of the most popular community events on TruckersMP. With fourteen editions (and more to come in the future!) under our belts, we have come a long way, constantly working hard to develop new ideas and tools to make each event better than the last.

Following the introduction of one of the most useful of these tools, our Dynamic Objects System (DOS) - which enables our talented team to interact with the in-game environment on live servers, allowing the placement of a whole host of custom objects including traffic management solutions, smart signs, props and vehicles - we have had ambitions to bring live events to our most popular server - Simulation 1, and have been working hard behind the scenes to make this a reality.

Today we are very excited to announce the launch of Featured Zone - the first of our live events to take place on Simulation 1.

What is Featured Zone?

In this edition of Featured Zone, taking place between 3rd June and 2nd July, TruckersMP will be undertaking a live, in-game construction project to bring the highways around Calais up to ‘Managed Motorway’ standards, this includes the installation of permanent overhead gantries and smart signage, that will allow this heavily populated area to be more effectively managed on an ongoing basis.

The event will give players the chance to see the construction progress in real time as well as witness a variety of special vehicles at work across the Featured Zone area, providing plenty of interest and opportunities for unique interactions.

To facilitate the works, a series of lane closures and speed restrictions are in place to give our team space to work safely, additional full closures and diversions are also planned across the four weeks when required. Members of our Event Team and Game Moderation Team will also be on hand to make sure things go smoothly.

Whilst travelling through the area please remember the following;

• Queues are likely, please be patient and follow all road rules whilst travelling through the zone
• Follow all signage and instructions provided by TruckersMP staff
• Reduced speed limits with speed cameras are in operation throughout the zone
• Do not stop in the zone, if you break down use F7 to teleport to services

Awesome. just like real life. One idea for future ones is maybe delivery points  so that we all can deliver Supply's to help build

 

[Codeize]

Cool idea!

The concept of a live, in-game construction project to upgrade the highways around Calais sounds absolutely fascinating. Being able to witness the progress in real time and observe the special vehicles at work is a unique experience that I'm really looking forward to

Would be great if this would be coming into ATS as well…

Cool idea but horrible place where to do it. TMP biggest problem is that almost all players driving only on Calais-Duisburg road and thanks to that there is big traffic jams and mega fps drops and players moving like 10m per 1min lol. Same time its so boring to drive around anywhere else on this huge map because u will never see anyone else. Hopefully one day u have enough balls to close Calais-Duisburg road like for month. Just to see, where all these 3000+ players will go who usually likes to sit on these traffic jams. Maybe that will help to move players more around the map so people can meet another truckers anywhere else too. Like these SCS Events or TMP Event like this right now, its perfect to motivate players to go and see other cool countrys and roads aswell. But here we are again, all action coming to calais-duisburg area and lets all sit 5h in these traffic jams with 10fps. Hopefully one day AI traffic coming to the TMP so its not will be so boring to drive around alone whole day if you are not in mid map area. I know some of you will say that if i dont like these traffic jams, go play SCS Convoy mode with my friends and Ai. I have been done that and its cool but it also cool to drive around with thousands of real players. Just that sitting around in Duisburg-Calais is not my thing and theres not enough players around anywhere else to make it worth it to go and explore other countrys. But keep doing what u are doing TMP team, hats off for your hard work what u all have been done.
