My highlight of the day was running over (mangling) and through a STOP sign with my tractor. :-X

Post by: John on November 06, 2019, 10:11:26 PM: I'm going to post some of my favorite screen shots from the Farm Simulator forum and other resources I find. Developers are actually selling mods to add to your farm(s).

Note: Some of the screenshots are from earlier versions of Farm Simulator and don't show the resolution 19 offers.

Yeah, men remain big children for life...

This is a high quality agricultural / heavy equipment simulator and SDK.

Okay, I'm having a bit of fun as well.

The game controller I bought is specifically created for this simulator and is plug & play.

Post by: John on November 09, 2019, 12:16:41 AM: I was thinking that if I'm going to model real farms, I need to view them as if they were Farm Simulator maps. So I picked up a drone (https://youtu.be/LVeXhUKlQvM).

I paid just under $170 (free ship) for the drone and an extra battery/charger. ($119 for the drone - $46 extra battery)

One of my questions was can you add animation with structures? This video answers that question.

I'm pleased that GIANTS has a nice developer object model editor and their scripting engine could be ScriptBasic's brother.
