I use auto now, it's better than I thought it'd be. I thought it would be like LFS's crap automatic.

The sim/game is good, but I just suck at it. On every corner with a trailer attached I crash into the walls, lucky I'm not aiming to be a trucker IRL. Although, do they get paid a lot? It must require an awful lot of training surely.

It just takes some time to get used to a truck-sim. Might try it myself aswell.

My dad has been driving truck(s) for about 32 years now, and he finished for .. Something with a hammer / screwdrivers, but takes corners.. geez.. The guy who thought him the driving, and gave him the license to drive the truck, was shocked when my dad parked his 18-wheeler (a combitruck) backwards on a very tight place. I quote "Holy shit, I couldn't have done that myself".

Would be more handy if the G27 had high and low gearing, and half-gearing like trucks have (very, very very short gears so accelerating isn't slower than a turtle).

@ Roba, isn't truck driving the same as driving a car? As in, you take driving-lessons, learn how to drive according to the instructor. But, once you've passed the exams and things, your finally starting to learn how to drive the car. If so: how can you finish your school as a proffesional truck-driver.. Wouldn't you be a rookie before you turn prof, just like in football?
