Have you noticed.......

Post by BostonJohnny1226 »

I know the game has some downsides and some things need fixing or improving, each version had some when first launched. But the game has gotten better over time. I’d like to start a conversation about the little improvements that we have noticed but maybe others haven’t so here’s a couple. Have you noticed:

That when working in a field, your tractor not only kicks up dust but also chunks of dirt.

When your vehicle is working in a field and gets close to the road, the traffic stops and waits for it to complete it’s turn.

What have you seen?

The dust kicked up at the header of the harvesters looks cool.

Plus the little things like when you ‘graze’ a roadsign it twists a little rather than just flying across the road

Bale physics is much improved. I enjoy stacking bales at in 17 they would get jittery and sometimes blow the stack up from the middle. I've been able to make awsome bale piles now with no issues... other than my own mistakes.

The movement of the crops when you drive over them or even walk through them looks great.
I have even been trying to “trick” the game and see if they clip through any parts of machines but they all seem to affect the crops as expected.

I am really happy with the physics in general so far, it is a nice balance between default FS17 where everything feels too easy, and the More Realistic mod where some things were way too heavy and caused problems.

I have pretty recently started a new save on Felsbrun and it is actually fun having smaller tractors and watching them struggle with certain tools where the required power is nearly the same as the tractors power. I have been using hired workers and watching the tractors pulling my planter up a hill and you can see visible wheel spin on the steeper parts of the fields as the tractors slow down.
I need to experiment more now to see how much different wheel setups and weights affect the traction, I hope it is all realistic.

It’s like they have the terrain mod in too where the tires “sink” into the soil and struggle a bit going up hill

They built in the mod where the wheels react to the terrain, can’t remember what it was called or if that is the mod you mean. Also the tire dirt mod and obviously crop destruction.

One of best small things I notice is the hands on the clock icon move.

A small simple thing I noticed, when you flip a vehicle, a lot of times you can turn it back upright by turn the wheels and pressing the gas. Or maybe it was only the side x side. Either way it's better than always having to reset it.

Compass? Where? I'm on a PC and there's no compass. I look forward to there being one, it makes it easier to work the fields in a straight line.

Yeah, I've missed the compass too. I've not played enough to notice I guess.

It's on the bottom of the mini map before the coordinates.
