This is a question I have for giants I was wondering if we will see any changes in forestry for fs19 like equipment and tree physics . I'm a big fan of logging on this game I've herd of other people wondering what the forestry will be like in fs19. I bet it will be awesome it's just a a question I have for you guys .

Yes I'm hoping the physics are better and we actually get a grapple skidder in the base game

I would like some cranes that aren’t a pain to operate.

And a tub grinder on tracks.

That's what I'm hoping for

And a knuckleboom with a bucksaw. That's how we do it

I would appreciate the introduction of some more "mid-level" logging gear. I feel like the choice is either "low-tech/high effort" (Chainsaw/Treesaw) or "high tech/low effort" (PONSSE ScorpionKing/Buffalo). I feel like the mid-range (feller-buncher, skidder, processors, loaders, etc...) could benefit from some fleshing out, and increased variety/diversity overall... And better log physics... Definitely better log physics!

To those who will scream "BUT FDR HAS ALREADY DONE THOSE!", I would offer that, while I appreciate the effort and functionality of the mods they have created, I feel they fall short on the appearance aspect (they look good, but they don't look like everything else in the game, texture and lighting wise) and do not offer the same level of immersion (to me, personally) because of that. To me, it is the same as using something functional added into the game, vice something designed for implementation within the game in all aspects from the ground up. They just feel different enough to me (enough that I opt not to use them), that's all.

All I want is the tree to have sounds crashing to the ground...

its a shame, that there is no basic equipment like forestry winch, axe and chain. Sawing technique and physique need to be revamped completely tho.
