Farming Simulator 19: Farm like never before!

"lazy", here we have another ignorant person who thinks he knows everything.
Next time, please don't take the time to join a forum just to post something like this.

I want the farmer to be more important, it's kind of hard to feel immersed in game play when I can't even get into my house and have to stand outside while I fast forward time. Have farmer needs, at the very least feed him and let him sleep. Horses are great but if it still rains in barns what's the point? How can you have a farming sim and not have seasons in the base game? In a simulator little things can be huge!

I can remember a post a while ago where it was suggested that the hazards were because of limited buttons, but I don't think that was definite.

As for the dashboard lights aren't included in the base game vehicles (on any platform) because of the time required to apply this to every vehicle. As this would differ for each vehicle in the game they wouldn't have had the time to add to each (upon a quick count on the games page on the website I got 71 different tractors/harvesters/lorries). A lot more than adding one set for a mod.

We intentionally decided not to add interior lights since we knew that we would not be able to properly pull that off for all the vehicles we have in the game. It not only takes a lot of time to add the lighting elements to each model, but also to investigate how the lighting works exactly for each model, especially because that is not something that you can easily see in most pictures as mostly the lights are not turned on. So we need to take a picture of each model with the lights turned on under the right lighting conditions (in full sun, you won't see the dash lights even if they're turned on). But it's definitely something we would love to have, so it's likely that we'll add this in one of the future versions of the game.

What mods are doing is completely up to the modders. Some do have all the information and the time to add interior lights, others face the same issues as we do, that they don't know how the lighting looks exactly or don't have the time to add them. And probably some just don't care at all.

Or you can play "sims" ...

I get why some people would want to actually take care of they own farmer in the sense of feeding him and things like that but I think giants has it right in trying to remain focused on farming and not surviving in a sense just my view though

It is after all Farming Simulator, and besides we dont have the option to go into 3rd person mode, i think thats right, but the main goal is to take care of your animals, buy the best Equipment and Vehicles, and make money.

Even if we have a 3rd person option on FS19 I wouldn't use it for anything other than collecting gold nuggests (considering they will still be in the game).

Would be happy to see first persons hands doing something like steering....

Oh no, it always looks tacky and would be a nightmare for modders.

[ltl.vamp]

Would like to jump to my fields, like i could jump to the fields, i don't own.

[RODHA]

I know a lot of people wouldn't like that but sometimes I just want to jump to any point on the map. And not just myself. Also any vehicles or implements.

Exactly right.

I don't know if it's possible on consoles, but you can jump to most places (fields, sell points, silos etc.) on PC through the menu (escape on PC). I guess it would be fairly cumbersome and slow to do on console without a mouse, so perhaps isn't enabled?

All of the little icons on the map here can be clicked on and you can jump straight there by clicking 'visit':



You can also click through the places by clicking on the icon to the left or right of the highlighted one on the right-side of the screen, and I guess there's no reason why that should be possible on consoles?

[markare]

You can do that on xbox one aswell

All that works the same as they do on PC. Just the control method is different. I meant to a specific location of my choosing and the jump also includes vehicles and implements.
