The map looks awesome and all but surley there are other things players can be getting on with while we wait. Me personally...im having a break and playing other games that i have put to one side while hammering fs17.
Once/if it's out then I'm sure I'll be all over this map.

I leave you alone for one night and the thread explodes and people yell at each other (more or less)?

Calm down everyone, we are all here to have fun, right? Keep in mind that everyone in this forum has the same goal: to have a good time with the Farming Simulator series. No reason to bash each other for a different taste.

I'd like to talk about this very quick:
BulletBill83 wrote:You would have to ask GIANTS themselves why they are giving me this help.

I would point out that plenty of other modders get quite a bit of help from GIANTS, but it is not so publicized.

GIANTS also are tired of being accused they don't help modders enough.

I've also been told that there QA and Support teams are fed up with so many people asking about the console version of this map that they want to get it sorted so they can have a more peaceful life.

I haven't asked for 'preferential treatment' from GIANTS, they have taken it upon themselves to do this as the issue with the map is not some map issue that I can fix.
We are helping a lot of guys. This is not the first case where we try to get something done with the modder. Working with modders is one of our main goals, hence the mod calls, mod contests and the QA team helping with mods where they can.

That being said, we are not a huge company and there are tons of mods, so we can't help everyone as much as we would like and in addition, the QA team has a lot of tasks, mods are only one of them, so they might not always have the time.

There are several reasons why the West Coast gets some help, sure this thread is one of them, as I always try to find the mods that our players love and communicate them to the QA team, so they know a lot of people wait for this map because I told them that's the case.

At the same time, Bill has always been a nice guy and, as stupid as this might sound, this gets you a long way. Our QA guys are humans and if you are nice to them, then they might be willing to put some extra hours in (without getting paid for that) just because they want to.

QA and Support will never be really tird of you guys, so that was more of a joke then a real iussue haha.

So yeah, in short: We try to help everyone, but we can't. Therefore we have to pick where we halp, and we picked the West Coast for now.

Well said Lisertan. And thank you very much for all of your updates regarding West Coast. Very much appreciated.

I think the idea of not knowing if GIANTS can fix it or not is the hardest thing to get your head around
