I especially like it in VR, but don't let your kids do that. VR is bad for younger kids.

I suspect it's the same for my son

My son is no longer a teenager and his sister is almost finished high school so the VR would probably not be an issue, if I ever got around to getting one. Which I have not.

I can see the appeal, and my son is waiting for new territory DLC too, but I don't think I'll be playing it any time soon. I'm glad there are products like this for those who enjoy them though. That's cool.

The base game and the early DLC didn't really have many (if any?) of these, but they have become more common in the more recent DLC. These are based on real historic markers and as a history buff I enjoy learning more about an area I'm driving through.

Yea, I always pull off to read any I see.

Do those things show up on the map or GPS or otherwise clue you in that they exist? I ask because I drive in first person in-cab view with a wheel and stick and I can't see those things unless I know they're coming up.

Road block? Wreckage? Invisible barrier?

We are excited to share with you that a new game module for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator will be introduced with the 1.52 update - Driving Academy. This free update will include sets of scenarios which we hope will teach our players a thing or two about driving and maneuvering a truck in a fun and captivating way.



We are venturing into new territory, inspired by years of feedback from players who have told us that our games have helped them grasp the basics of truck driving. Many have used it to get a sense of handling a truck and trailer, learning how to maneuver and reverse. With this in mind, we thought we'd take it a step further by introducing a series of challenges specifically designed to improve and expand these skills.
