'You can convince a lot of people with numbers like that, just like we can today with our sales figures. But they were so passionate, and we had something like between 5,000 to 10,000 people on this forum. We were talking to them about the game that wasn't even out yet - we had only shown a short trailer that didn't even have any gameplay. 'So we really had a hard time convincing the industry that it might interest a lot of people.'Īmmann continues: 'Then we opened up a forum before the game was released and people started signing up.

'When we talked to partners and developers, they all said nobody is interested in farming and simulators,' Geiger says. From left to right, Creative director Thomas Frey, Christian Ammann and Stefan Geiger What helped them break down barriers was this forum. A simulator about driving tractors? An international success story? It seems unbelievable, and indeed, that is how the industry felt back in 2007 when Geiger and Ammann (operating under the name of GIANTS Software) tried to find people to work with. The game's name has, for almost ten years, raised a smile from anyone that hears it. This was the key moment in the history of Farming Simulator. for us, the success of the forum was the key point that made us believe in the project.' He knew a lot more about farming than we did, but he was able to convince me that there was a market for it. A friend of mine came to me with the idea. Geiger continues: 'Farming was almost a random choice. 'It sounds trivial, but the Swiss gaming industry is sort-of non-existent,' Ammann says. The duo's desire to make the game as an independent outfit was because they wanted to remain in the video games industry, but also not leave their native Switzerland. 'We just had time, ideas and passion to do it.' 'It was the only way for us to achieve it, because we didn't have a company back then,' says Ammann. Together they handled the programming, the engine, the script, the graphics, level design and even the sound. The first game, which launched ten years ago, was created almost entirely by Christian Ammann and Stefan Geiger. Is this an issue with the driver?

I'm on a Mac, and probably worth noting I inadvertently ordered a non-MS controller receiver for the wireless controller, but the drivers seem to work. I don't have issues in any other games or the controller app. On left trigger up/down is Axis 1 and left/right is Axis 2. I noticed right trigger, up/down and left/right both are recognized as Axis 3. with LB/RB set as drive fwd it is not on cruise.

I can drive fwd, but then LB doesn't drive backwards. If I map RB as drive fwd it sets it to axis 3 + 6. I can pull the left trigger and I stop and move backwards, when I let go of LT i move fwd again. with this setting, when I start to move it drives like I hit 3 for cruise even without holding down RT. One of the issues is when I set the control for drive forward/backward to the right trigger it says its axis 3. So the game recognizes the controller, that is not a problem.
