But unfortunately after several hours the lack of possibility to join the first three fields I owned together made me quit the game. I tried several MOD maps and in my opinion they are much better than the maps prepared by Giants.
Moreover I think FS17 has the worst maps so far. In FS15 Westbridge Hills and Bjornholm were very differ and than we got Sosnovka. In FS13 there was Hagenstadt.
In FS17 we have only one new map with zero chances on modifying. I think the reason why Giants took the easy way is that there are MODS available on consoles, but that doesn't change the fact it's a little bit disappoining.
I myself still like GCV and will be using the Big Bud pack on it as well. The fields are easy to expand and join. My most recent was 5,9,&13. I am now working on a plan to join all of the southern fields (with exception of 31 I believe) and then going to break them into maybe 2 or 3 decent sized fields.
AO had nice sized fields, IMO, but the setting/ scene wasn't for me. I still have it, just been letting it sit a while. Will have to take a look at MVR when it comes out, but so far, no other has sold me as "the total package" like GCV has. I like the scenery, the town, layout, etc. The only thing is I'm not sure the roads are scaled quite right. At least not in comparison to all I've ever driven equipment down. I've never been down a road where a tractor with duals, much less triples, would fit in 1 lane. Other than that, I'm sticking with GCV for now.
There was a thread once about a Chesapeake Farms, I believe it was. Anyone know if anything ever came of that one? It looked interesting.
Sorry, rambled long enough.
