Interesting. I've never been to any of those countries, so I guess it would be a nice way of getting a look at them.

This game is becoming work. I might as well be a truck driver for real and get paid. Great game with constant expansion and improvements. Thanks SCS!

My luck ran out I'm afraid, but I've earned some bones in the Canadian Rockies along with ice trucking up northern Ontario to the Native Reserves. And no, I don't watch "Ice Truckers" (it's not real) Even on the Prairies, I'll use the Fuller splitter all through them gears high + low range just to break the monotony. Keep the sunny side up mofo's.

Excited!

Got a trucker buddy who just got in the real life game after playing ETS2/ATS a lot and excelled at the job! Pro at clutchless shifting in the Kenworths. Something I'd hope to see in the future is clutch work.

Certainly going to support this DLC, their detailing is amazing!

An option to require realistic inspections and a "gamey" tutorial of truck parts and knowledge would be 10/10. As i've been studying the CDL handbook, I've learned this part is HUGE for the prerequisite requirements.

Wouldn't it be cool if things like that would increase a new xp, or respect meter for a specific company? The result of good practice in this sense would increase that company's likelihood to give you more jobs, of higher mileage pay, or variety. It would encourage players to be more specifically role'd. Or heck! changing the perk system to company specific (kinda like Forza Horizon 4's change to "car mastery")

looks like somalia not like balkans

Baltic countries are not Balkans and definitely not Somalia. Take a look at google maps.

Looks excellent and will be a day one purchase for me.

Bought it in the first hour and can not put it aside using VR.
It’s such a relaxing experience driving these machines listening to FFH Rockantenne!
Worth every penny.
