Got a flyer in email that listed Farm Simulator as the top seller among more usual aviation simulation stuff. I watched a couple of videos. You can drive realistic tractors, and plant stuff, and bale hay, and... well, do farming stuff.I think I'm going to chuck all this airplane junk so I can drive a combine back and forth all day.Seriously, to each his own, but I am having a hard time imagining the fun of TractorSim. Maybe city-dwellers see it as more entertaining, but I live in Illinois. Kind of weird to see it at the top of a list with Aerosoft's Nice and the L39 Albatross occupying 9 and 10.

Hello,Well .. virtual farming seem's to be a good idea ...If you check the economic statistics .. in the develloped countries the occupation of farmer is disappearing. :( Each passing year sees the number of closures of farms increase.So it can be a bright future for the farming virtual world !!! :( Regards.Gus.

My son has FS2004, Digger Simulator, Ship Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator.He is not interested in the usual games that you would expect kids to be. Only simulators.He will freak when he sees the Farm Simulator as he loves tractors :(

agreed, I have my own collection of strange simulator games (including every single Hard Truck series, if anyone remembers those)...this one may be added to my list.

If I didn't live next to a few farms, I would probably be interested, however nothing can simulate smelling the manure or the pig and chicken farms on the bus to and from school :( I'll stick with flight simming.

yea my friends make fun of me because I play TML-Studios' Path Simulator and I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Bus Simulator. I personally thing Farm simulator would get boring, but I think it's a really cool concept!Each to his own ;)

A functional cropduster in FSX is my idea of a farm simulator :-)

They used to have that in the very first versions of FS. I remember as a kid playing the crop dusting for hours.

I guess I might try it if the International Harvester has a good 3D VD (virtual dashboard). That and being able to hunt coyotes breaking in to my chicken coops.Bob

I'd only be interested if it came with a full FMS (Farm Management System), autopilot, GPS, CD/DVD player and 5.1 sound system...

Bil,Bill,Bill...Join the new Millennium. 7.1 is where it's at. Though, I'm lucky to have stereo.I would want the new CROW (Carniverous Roaming Oversized Widget)AI bird addon.Bob

I want a COMBINE addon... oh wait I can always turn to these guys :(

In all seriousness though, a farm simulator just seems to me like something where I would say to someone getting a sim like that "start with a real garden first, then make a real farm buddy, you'll make a lot more money that way!"

How about a totally new game title such as: "Paint Simulator..."Oh wait, that already exists under the name "Photoshop..." :(

actually it would be "Corel Painter"...Photoshop is used for digital image editing, Corel Painter simulates natural media.../ex multimedia design major moment....
