To anyone that is having a hard time finding jobs to complete the orient express or other achievment that needs you to deliver cargo to a specific city or company, if you download the TruckersMP mod and play with it, they have a onboard job generator, so you can create the job you need on the fly and drive it, helps a lot with specific destination or cargo type jobs, sucks TruckersMP has no AI traffic though

Same issues with Budapest-Bucharest. Used the console to skip time forward 3 hours and look for the job, but it took me 6 in-game days to generate one. They really should generate more jobs on routes that count for achievements.

[stanzebla]

The tour Budapest-Bucharest is over 800km long. Stupid me, had the preferred job length set to 50%. Took me ages to get the tour, even with convoys. It would probably have been easier, if I had set the preferred job length to 100% or even longer.

Does using ferries reset Orient Express progress? ik of at least on ferry that is 27 hours long

[NobelDragon]

Alright after the melt down there, I actually got a job from Budapest to Bucharest. It did count. The only thing I changed was using a dry container to transport goods.

This achievement is defo the most difficult though by far.

[Xeeran]

Try to activate the console and change the daytime

[NobelDragon]

Honestly Orient Express is the worst achievement out of all of these. Yes it was difficult tryna find get Along the Black Sea, but it came quicker compared to Orient Express

I managed to get all the way to Budapest and for the life of me I CANNOT get anything to Bucharest!!!!!!! On top of that my achivement thing has gone to 0 so I don't know if it has reset and if so I am gonna cry lol. My distance for jobs is 100, and the other 4 did come to me eventually but this one is just taking its time. Even having my truck parked in the city and doing other quick jobs, it still wont show up.

It took me a long time to finish "Along the Black Sea" achievement. It is very difficult to find job between varna and Mangalia. I suggest you complete other deliveries in between and keep checking the job market. Even check the external contract aswell. Jobs between this cities are perhaps the rarest among all. Using your own trailer also heps a lot to find the jobs.
If you're unable to find the jobs I suggest you create one using virtual speditor program (https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=199114) which will help you to complete thi achievement

For the delivery between Constanta and Mangalia, I would recommend buying the garage in Constanta and travel there. Hire some low level workers and give them curtainsiders or low loaders, which is what the company in Mangalia mostly takes. Their jobs should only take a few hours. Exchange trailers with them and check all 4 job types each time. I don't recommend sleeping because it's too long. Be patient and you will eventually find one. I just got one using curtainsider in cargo market. Hope this can help.
