Just completed all the Academy missions in ETS2.  I must say the final test was VERY long.  But it isn't too bad.  Tomorrow night I will start the ATS Driving Academy missions! A very fun addition to the game!  I am currently one of 1% to finish the whole thing according to Steam achievements, lol! It wasn't that hard.

Just completed it too.  The very last test was brutal for me.  I kept tapping the wall at two spots and it kept ruining it for me.

One percent after only three days is actually a good interest of the community . For example, the achievement for discovering every city in West Balkans (released a year ago!) is done by only 0.6% of owners, and only 2.8% of players have used the river ferry in Romania (from DLC released five years ago). In general, a lot of people don’t go far in the game — I see only 63% of ATS players have bought their own truck, and only 67% have used the filling station at least one time .

Thats not good. That means a lot of people don't actually play these games.

As I know, there are a lot of accounts used only for goofing around in TruckersMP (usually it's blocking and ramming everyone on sight) and abandoned after being banned from that site .
Even after the official multiplayer was introduced, there still are people on TruckersMP, and some of them continue to play  *TS not in the intended way, practicing the aggressive driving or just standing in a huge traffic jam on Calais-Duisburg road.

I can't beat the final exam one in ETS2.  :O  I have done it probably thirty times now and somehow I always tap something or touch a cone or just barely go over a curb.  I finished it one time, but went too far forward and apparently ruined my chances of finishing. I am going NUTS.

I've completed the ETS2 Acadamy and am now starting chapter 3 for ATS.  I thought it would be easier to drive and maneuver the Euro trucks, but it's oddly the opposite in my experience. 

I love how the ATS Academy is more gruff, rough, and older.  They just use chalk for lines, tons of cones, lol!  The ETS2 is one modern and has painted lines and arrows.

Regional variations!
Like wooden utility poles in US and concrete ones in Europe .

Consider it an old world charm . . . in the new world.

Greece Industry and Custom Depots

It's looking real good! I can't do thumbnails like Timothy usually does.  :')

Also an ETS2 stream on Germany.  Haven't watched yet.

[Anyponedrawn]

The town of Popular Bluff and the Greece depots look great.  There is a combination you'd never expect in a sentence.

I fully intended to watch the stream. I turned it on and then within ten minutes I fell asleep.

I think you need some more sleep.
