Some people here complain about the graphics of FS but the picture above makes it look like a work of art. Its presumably coming form a high end PC but the lighting is just spot on. Can't wait to play this in 4K on my PS4 Pro.

Ohhhhh 4K, instead of buying a Xbox one X (terrible investment) I'll buy a PC to run it at 60 frames, honestly the graphics are good enough with my new glasses that all I need is 60 frames

Doing the last few snags, and although I have a busy week of real life ahead I am on track to be uploading "The West Coast" map to GIANTS this coming weekend.

I leave you with a couple of pictures I took while doing some testing on the map tonight...

Yes, you can use AI workers on this map. AI workers work on any mod map.

Is that a good rating? 3.5 out of 3.5, or 3.5 out of 10.

Hi BulletBill. Really looking forward to playing this map. Looks amazing. Can I just ask will the custom sky textures be coming to console too or are they PC only? Having some new weather and a different sky box to look at is something I've wanted to see on console for a long time.

maps with irregular fields and maps with the field edges up close to fences tend to be bad for AI workers. The in-game AI only really works well when the fields are rectangular and there's enough room to turn around at the end of a swath. Because of this, you will have a hard time using workers on many downloadable maps.

Fortunately, there are some AI addons that mitigate those problems, and things like CoursePlay can help a lot. However, I just decided to skip any map where the AI worker can't operate reliably.

I'm not 100% yet as I've never uploaded a map with a custom sky box for console yet. Will have to wait and see.

Actually maps like this are able to be worked by the AI perfectly. You just need to change how you work the field. Remember in the UK and parts of Europe we harvest around the headland several times so that there is a big enough gap for the combine to turn around when going up and down for the rest of the field.

When using a cultivator or seeder just use the same method as above. The worker when it gets to the the edge has room to turn around without running through the hedges or trees.

In the UK we don't have the luxury of space as you do in other parts of the world. We have to maximize every last bit of the field to grow crops on.

If you skip this map and others because of the AI then your really missing out a huge part of this games experience for yourself.
