Introducingthe HORI Farming Vehicle Control System for Windows 11/10! Developed in collaboration with GIANTS Software GmbH, the creators of the Farming Simulator series, to provide realistic operation experience for specialized vehicles and equipment. Our Farming Vehicle Control System includes a large 13.4 in / 34 cm diameter rubberized steering wheel based on real vehicles features a turn signal control lever and spinner knob for realistic simulation and control. Also includes a three full sized foot pedals unit and control panel unit with a total of 76 buttons eliminating the need for a keyboard or additional peripherals. The control panel unit features a twist axis joystick and separate throttle level for the ultimate control in Farming Simulator. Hall Effect sensors on the wheel, pedals, control stick and levers ensure long-term durability and accuracy. Steering wheel and control panel can be easily mounted to your desk for stability, and customize sensitivity, button layout, and other settings with the companion app.
A realistically sized 34 cm / 13.4 in diameter wheel with rubberized grip set at a 40angle and capable of 900rotation. Operate lights and indicator controls via the turn-signal lever. Designed to operate tractors and other specialized vehicles smoothly and naturally. The wheel, pedals, and levers use extremely durable Hall effect sensors for high precision operation.
Multifunction control lever with twist axis. The control lever supports forward, back, left, right and twist movements enabling various operations in game such as fine arm manipulation of cranes. Onboard throttle lever allows you to set a fixed speed without pressing the accelerator pedal for smooth harvesting.
21 on the wheel face, 55 buttons on the control panel unit. A wide variety of in-game actions for Farming Simulator are supported with this controller set, enabling you to play without needing to use mouse and keyboard or other additional devices.
A three-pedal configuration that includes accelerator, brake, and clutch enables the authentic driving experience of all farming equipment such as tractors and combine harvesters. Magnetic Hall effect sensors are used to ensure precision and extreme durability.
So... I am looking at this thing, and I am SO seeing a lot of potential for this. The Stick is 3 axis: forward/back, left/right, Twist CW/CCW. It's designed to toggle between two sets of control sets for 6DOF stick control (RCS/Attitude???). The thumbwheel is for cruise control (throttle). Those ten buttons up top are screaming Action Groups to me. The Switches are singing RCS, SAS, Gear, and Brakes. There are the 6 other yellow buttons, and the three buttons beside the stick... Maybe have the yellow buttons control lights, brakes, and gear, and use a pair of switches to lock abort and lock staging, and use the buttons near tyne stick for abort and staging... I can't tell if the large grey spot is a button or a logo plate. That'd make a great stage or abort button too, if it's a button!
I need a new joy myself. The axis are all getting screwy so I only keep pitch bound these days and mainly fly by keyboard, only using my joy for throttle control. I would love to hear if this works for KSP if anyone trys it out.
But for someone that likes farming, they get it. Each of these games has a target audience. I have extensively played Farming Simulator 2013 on PS3, and I only havn't gone back to FS15 because I got hooked on Kerbal. The real appeal of Farming Sim games is the acquisition of bigger and better toys, and the ability to so more stuff. Ironically, Kerbal was the next logical step for me to follow... Trying to get better equipment, managing a budget, a workforce, and snagging those coveted new fields... Its very equatable to unlocking new R&D tiers, managing my budget, managing a crew of Kerbals, and snagging all that coveted science and destinations!
Train simulators appeal to the same people that like model trains. (I am not one of them) To them buying the DLC is no different than going to the hobby store an buying a new car for their model train, but takes up less physical space.
I've put some time into Farming Simulator. Its actually very relaxing to jump into a combine, put on some tunes and just do your thing. Spent 5 minutes stuck in traffic in Euro truck sim, walked away and never looked back. All just a matter of taste I guess.
This concerns me as well. For the longest time, most "serious" sim games have been flight sims and these have dropped a lot in popularity. The result has been a polarization in the flight controls market. You either pay through the nose for I good high quality set, or you pay a lot less for a cheap POS. I wanted a HOTAS kit under $100 so I ended up with a Thrustmaster setup. I can't really complain, it's held up well, though I would like it to be a little more solid and come with a few more buttons/switches.
I had an email exchange with Saitek/Madcats tech support ... for years. They sent me a lot of useless advices, and links to some obscure or private or experimental drivers and SST software builds, nothing helped.
part, that centers the stick that holds joysticks handle eats into it, making any movements of the stick jerky and even seizing it completely. I had to remove centering spring. Flight sim enthusiasts recommend oiling centering part with plastic-on-plastic oils - before first use, or better, replacing centerer and the stick with metal copies.
3d mouse for life. A bit pricy (and Windows only on KSP, IIRC) but it gives you six axes in one hand, allowing attitude + translation or completely unlimited camera control (especially useful in the editor or map mode).
Well I can at least tell you why I used to enjoy the Harvest Moon series of farming simulators back in the day: for the potential to completely and utterly break their "difficulty". The things I did in the DS version were so over-the-top that it may well have inspired the developers to institute much stricter confines on the player for later HM games. Pretty sure they never meant the player to have end-game equipment on the second game day!
I like trains. But I'm not going to buy a train simulator until it has game-like parts. Perhaps a trainbuilding sandbox where you have to build your engines and rolling stock in a KSP-style editor out of parts and connectors, and make sure things are linked up right and the boiler, firebox, etc work right, or else bad things.
Farming Simulator is a farming simulation video game series developed by GIANTS Software. The locations are based on American and European environments. Players are able to farm, breed livestock, grow crops, and sell assets created from farming.
The games have sold over 25 million copies combined, as well as had 90 million mobile downloads.[3]The game was originally revised, expanded, and re-released every two years, (excluding their newest release) with better graphics, a larger array of vehicles, and more interesting tasks for the user to perform.
In career mode, players take on the roles of farmers. Their tasks depend on expanding and upgrading dated equipment and machinery, which can be achieved by harvesting and selling crops. Players are free to explore the surrounding areas of the map, grow from their choice of several crops, and invest their money in additional fields and equipment. They can also raise livestock or earn an income from forestry.
There are dynamically generated missions that consist of the player performing various tasks within a time frame such as mowing grass, fertilizing fields, or delivering cargo. The player is rewarded with money once the task is finished, plus a bonus based on how quickly the task was completed (excluding Farming Simulator 19,22).
Farming Simulator 2009 is the second game in the series. It had a lot of new features such as new crop types (corn, rapeseed/canola, and barley), modding support and much more machinery, while having the same map as 2008, but remastered.
This is the third game in the series, and first to feature a multiplayer mode. It was greatly expanded with the introduction of a new map. Machinery from Deutz-Fahr, Pttinger, and Horsch were added (also featured in the FS 2009 Gold edition). Cows were also an addition to this title.
The initial release for Farming Simulator 2013 was on October 26, 2012.[2] A version was released for the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in 2013, known as Farming Simulator.[4] Almost a year after its PC release, it received a large update and re-release under the title Farming Simulator 2013 Titanium Edition, on October 10, 2013. It contains all of the previous assets from the first iteration, with new content of a US-based environment in the form of a map called "Westbridge Hills" and new vehicles.[5] New content was also released as DLC add-ons for those with the original version of the game.[6]
Farming Simulator 15 was released to Windows and Mac OS on October 30, 2014.[7] This version introduced forestry, washable vehicles, and 41 brands. Around 140 pieces of equipment are in the base game, 160 in the gold edition DLC pack. Farming Simulator 15 was released to consoles on May 19, 2015.[8]
