Also: blackscreen issues (except the one here at the top: http://farming-simulator.com/faq.php) are fixed when you properly update your graphics cards drivers because they are outdated.

ATI/AMD users download this tool to check your driver and update it:

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool

NVIDIA users go here:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Either select the proper GFX card you have or try the auto search if you are unsure.

Best
