About Driving Simulator:
Driving Simulator is a nice introduction to the franchise. It runs great and shows a slightly simplified version of what you will see in ETS2 and ATS. It is not a school with instructors giving advice or technique, but it is low pressure and gives the driver a chance to practice and improve through trial-and-error. I use a Logitech G-923. There is a known issue with the wheel’s return spring tension. After setting up a profile with Logitech’s software, the return spring reverts to maximum after tabbing back to the game. I searched the forums and found a few discussions about a workaround, I couldn’t get it to work. Another post on the forum says SCS is no longer supporting the game. It probably works fine with older wheels. Sadness is only 4/10; I am hoping SCS develops a true trucking school as a standalone game, or a big DLC. As a long time owner of Euro Truck Simulator 2, purchasing this game takes me back to the old days of ETS2. The purple-ish graphics and simple textures are quite nostalgic. Obviously, by modern standards this game is showing it’s age. However, it still functions as it should and without problems. The gameplay is quite enjoyable. It is obviously not the free-roam and business running side that ETS2 is, but that is what gives this game its own niche. I get excited when I pass the challenges quickly. I think old ETS2 players will enjoy this game. I suggest buying it on special, because it obviously has a shorter life-span than ETS2.
