![]() That means I don’t have to drive up and down the fields for x hours. The controls make all of that good fun.Īlso, everything gets done quickly because I can hire people to help finish jobs for me. I then take the harvest to sell to the distributor dig over a field and sew wheat in another. In spite of my surname, I still have no idea what I’m doing so I begin by threshing the field. Thankfully, the game gave me a quick heads-up at the start so I know what I’m supposed to do. Will I live up to my «person of the farm» («der vom Hof») title? In fact, with a surname like «Hofer» you’d think I was born into a farming family. As I’m still very much a beginner I set the difficulty level to «easy». Waning attention spanĪfter watching the tutorial I know what to do and head off for my first day on the farm. Another thing that bugs me slightly is that you need two USB A connections to link up Farmy. To keep the vehicle steady, you need to press the controls from above rather than from in front. But what is cool is that it automatically returns to its starting position – even if it does so with a lot of swerving and lurching. Meanwhile, the steering wheel wobbles when the base is anchored. The flip switches are only dummies and don’t do anything different to the other buttons. The buttons look rather cheap, which is a shame as this finish spoils the overall good impression I had of the hardware. Now the hardware is affixed, you know it’s safe even in the heat of ploughing The game knows what I’m using for the controls. Am I not supposed to use Farmy to control the game? I slap the keys in frustration. Once the tutorial started, it said I should left-click on the mouse to continue. Yeah, I know… I said I think simulators are boring without ever having played this farming simulator game. I’m sure it’ll still work.Īs I’ve never played a farming simulator before, the first thing I do is select the tutorial. I want to play the latest version of the game. The packaging does say: «Works great with Farming Simulator 15 Gold Edition». I test the controls with the «Farming Simulator 17». a steering wheel with an integrated gamepadĪ side panel with various buttons and joystick Getting started.So rather than being stuck inside at the end of June, I decide to take the virtual world out for some fresh air. With this lovely weather we’ve been having, it seems a shame to lock myself away in a gaming cave. We’ve had Farmy lying around the editorial department for a few months now. It’s pretty cumbersome, which is why I’ve taken to calling it «Farmy». What isn’t fun, however, is the name of the input device. However there are quite al lot of reports about issues with these controllers, especially the wheel, since the production quality doesn't seem to be very good.My first attempt at driving the «Saitek Heavy Precision Control System for PC» is somehow fun. Since it was specifically designed for FarmingSimulator the game already includes a specific set of bindings for it. Regarding controller recommendations: you might want to have a look at the Logitech Heavy Equipment Bundle. Therefore you will have to experiment for yourself to find out what some of the actions mean and to find a set of bindings that is suitable for your specific controller setup. If multiple controllers are used then the game unfortunately seems to use the default bindings for each type of controller, which then results in a lot of duplicate assignments of functions on all controllers. In that case it is best to report it as a bug in the following section so that GIANTS can add the necessary information to the game to recognise the type of the controller correctly: viewforum.php?f=998 If instead of 'WHEEL' or 'JOYSTICK' or 'GAMEPAD' you see 'UNKNOWN' printed behind 'Cat:' it means the game wasn't able to recognise the type of controller correctly and has therefore chosen a basic set of bindings that most likely wont't match the layout of the controller.
