I haven't played a trucking sim since 18WOS:Convoy and so far I'm having great fun with ETS2. The driving is realistic enough with a properly setup wheel and the game runs and looks good enough on my machine.
The only major disappointment I've had so far are the lack of company management options like not being able to select what jobs your hired drivers go on. The whole company "owner" aspect feels so tacked on without these type of options. So I spent a fortune on two new trucks and an upgraded garage and now I can barely afford to pay off my loan payments because my hired drivers barely make any money.. most of the time they return with nothing.
I understand that this is a truck driving sim and not a transport tycoon game but they could've fleshed out the company owner aspect of the game which would give it more lasting appeal.. and an option for those who just want to drive to set the whole management thing to automatic like it currently is.
I wish I knew how to mod so that I could improve this aspect of the game.
