It seems like that from the forum. I was so happy to switch to pc, so I could use this machines and play how I truly wanted.

This is not meant to be personal, not at Riven or anyone, but it seems to me that more North American players are on console than Europeans, and yet there are (seem to be?) more American modders who don't use the ModHub and so are only available to PC players. Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's how it seems.
I think the bulk of the North American and South American community hang out mostly on discord and on Facebook groups

What Mwal said. The bulk of the North American modding community is centered on Facebook, and some are growing on Discord. I'm in a few Discord servers that are well over one or two thousand members

The situation seems complicated.

Lexion 700’s are discontinued, not sure why they’re still listed on Claas’s website, since last year it’s all lime green Lexion 6000, 7000, and 8000 series.

Hello
Claas Lexion 700 Series Combines (US & Canada)

Not to be Harsh but basically I'm mostly on console, not on PC. Also I did hear SiiD Modding is working on a US-EU CLAAS Lexion 600-700 not sure if he might make it Black & Yellow. :hmm:

"Claas Lexion 600, 700 in new generations, and old ones, in US and EU versions available for all platforms."

Based on this quote from his Facebook page, I think there's a good chance we'll see it black and yellow. However, that's up to what he decides to make

I thought I should give the yellow Lexion a go, the one that george.earlslight mentioned but I think the US aficionados and purists might want to wait for SiiD to do a version

Or there’s the CNH Modding (believe it was his) 780 that is off colored and a bit (lot) of a poor model.

The lime green is so ugly. Don't know what they were thinking.

The Green White and Red are Claas company colours forever in the rest of the world. The rest of their machine that they have been selling for years in North America have been the Green White and Red Colours except the Lexion which the stuck with the CAT colours for over 10 years. It makes not a lot of sense to sell your machine in another company's colours with your company's logo's and branding on it when your not using the same engine in them any more. The Lexion 700's used Mercedes and Cat engine' s but the new 8000 and 7000 Lexion use Mercedes and MAN engines.

Oof, I really don't understand mods where they have a country specific plate and no option to remove it.
I've deleted so many trailers and tractors with German plates I don't even remember.

I hear you, I wasn't able to find any media of yellow Lexions from expos, shows, etc, later than around 2018.

I'm pretty sure the Caterpillar yellow and black was only used in the USA, so if you're going to mod a USA colour combine, surely you'd do the plates as well? And isn't that two-tone red triangle a US-spec warning?

There's probably a good modding reason for this, but since you get mods with in varying decals you can choose in the Farm Sim shop, wouldn't the country specific stuff, like the hazard placards, the number plates and so on, be the first thing you want to be able to choose? Even if one one is just "none"?

I think it requires different levels of modding expertise to do this.
Entry level modder: take other mods and change colours
Intermediate level modder: perform actual model changes; the plate is a part of the 3D model, which would need manipulation as a whole

Giant's Modhub doesn't require plates to be optional either, so it's more of a philosophical discussion for us quibblers.
Some mods are obsolete to me on specific maps just because I can't bear to see X country plates on Y country map.
