Contract tab needs moving next to map

Post by T0rNaDo69 »

im sure many others like doing the contracts in the game.
but because the contracts tab is in the middle of them all.
this means you have to keep tabbing back and forth between the map and contracts tab.

for normal people this proberly isn't an issue

but people with arthritis in there finger/thumb joints
and carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrists..

this excessive constant tabbing back and forth between the map and contacts.
causes pain and numbness in the joints....

so an IDEA, having the two tabs next to each other would be great.

would be nice if this could be done in fS19 as an update.
if not possible then something to think about for the new FS title. ( FS21 ) ?

Probably unlikely for FS19 but something that could definitely be improved for the next game. Perhaps a preview map on the contracts screen that highlights the field when you scroll through the contracts would be even better.

Would be better if it overlayed the map or something so you could see it in the contract screen... I don't do much contract work, but yea, I still wanna know where and what the field looks like before accepting them... And some maps field 1 could be top right while field 2 is bottom left, ain't got time nor bio ram to be trying to memorize a map... Don't even know what field numbers I own, just where my property lines are...

I suppose a work around would be to take a picture of the map screen on your phone. Then you could have that open when looking through the contracts or print a copy off to reference when you want.

What about on the map, each field when it has contracts it has a special icon next to it that you click on to do the contract, Itd suit everyone and youd have a better understanding on where the field is

I wouldn't like that. Takes away from the immersion. You can find the field easily by looking at the map.

I think he's talking about an icon on the map in the menu, not on the map like in FS17 with the floating icons.

The menu should be fully customizable, you should be able to move any tab anywhere on the menu you want.

i was talking about the tabs across the top

but the idea of being able to customise it to your liking.
by putting those tabs in any order you like, would be amazing ( if its doable)

another thing they could bring back for contract's would be being able to do more then 1 of the same type without having to collect on the first 1 like it was when fs19 first came out which later got changed to what it is now in an update.

We should be able to take as many contracts as we want at a time.
