The flooded fields when driving in them looks fake needs more like foam or muddy mixture happening behind the rear wheels and randomly on the surface or reacting to wind etc. The rest of the game looks great I must admit.

[@blaidddrwg2389]

Yeah, the water looks so weird. The tractor looks like driving on mercury, not in water.

The water is simultaneously too reflective but also not clear enough. It's like a pool of mercury, a homogeneous diffuse reflective surface. Really makes the reflections look dated in 2024

Their really adding the littlre details in 25. Really looking forwards

[@nekolivegaming]

Holy crap after multiple years we have the start of something that was achievable in 2013, Thanks giants 🤣 Im gonna be honest it is a start but im still kinda supprised / dissapointed that they haven't been able to get further with dynamic ground when its been a possible thing for a long time, like Agricultural sim 2013 had dynamic ground and a quite good one to. But hey atleast were getting somewhere and getting a lof of new things and details in 2025 so defiantly looking forward to it non the less

[@caseihpopper]

This stuff was not achievable in 2013 on FS it would have made so many people lag

[@nekolivegaming]

@@caseihpopper well yes that may be the case, my point was its been possible to create dymaic ground for tge longest time, if people actualy had the power to run it depends, but as someone whom has ran Agricultural Sim on a GT640 with resoable enough FPS i would say that Giants should have been able to make it an option atleast for 19 in my oppinion

[@nucleardestruction11]

Well Havok engine did have this in the works during the development of FS13 but realistically it would've been achievable during FS15, atleast on a theoretical level not taking into account cost, agreements etc.

[@kjeglmangle9256]

Hi Daggerwin. When I follow your affiliate link it is for the US (top right corner). When I change it to Norway or any other country, your affiliate code disappears from the address bar. Don't know if it's supposed to behave like this. Just wanted to let you know. Thumbs up everyone so Daggerwin sees this! He needs his affiliates to work properly.

[@Left4Coragem]

If ground deformation have no impact in soil compaction it's a nice feature, but like fog, it looks nice but it doesn't make the gameplay any deeper.

[@pegasusted2504]

Anything that can increase the sense of immersion is great in my book :~)

[@Left4Coragem]

[@yanicks9040]

Displacement mapping in 3d programming does indeed mean 3d changes. It does mean the geometry changes and not just texture shading like bump mapping.

[@oBCHANo]

It means the geometry being rendered is affected, for everything else though the geo remains the same, not without you specifically implementing that anyway, which you wouldn't because you don't want to calculate physics against a high res displacement texture.

[@partisan-bobryk]

It's not the "wake" that's missing, it's the water splashing effect when tires kick it up. The wake is there and at the front most point where water touches the wheels in the direction of travel.

[@JimKayaker]

Agreed, The tractor isn't moving through the water in the same way as a boat, only the tyres are in the water and the waves from those look correct. Wake is where the water flows back together behind a ship and it is accelerated by the underwater hull shape (for motorised ships also by the propeller(s)) and is a complex mix of flow and turbulence. Because the tyre rolls forward the water doesn't flow along it in the wame way, it will leave a hole, and the water should curl around the back edge of the tyre to fill the hole, that is incredibly tricky to calculate but it looks like it is included. As you say though the more visual aspect that might have been fun to incude is the water lifted by the tyre separating and falling back creating a couple of lines of spray tapering out behind each tyre. Again not easy to fully model but other engines replicate it in some way.

[@unknown_gamer8200]

17:20 im thinking perhaps the ai traffic will overtake you when you're driving if you're going quite slow/ have stopped on the road, because they had that feature in fs23 so I'm wondering if they were kinda testing it there!

[@Akotski-ys9rr]

The traffic is fs22 is so simple and stupid it’s actually mind blowing. So hopefully it’ll be as smart as in every other game

The problem is all the machines sound the same like vacuum cleaners they need to improve on that in reality when your machine is working hard or going uphill engine sound change and the turbocharger is more Audible and that also cause more visible exhaust fumes.

With the mud physics on the wheels and mucking up the roads, I hope we can use the road sweeping attachments. UK farmers are required to clean any roads they use that they muck.

[@TNH91]

The extra storage space requirements for FS22 did not have enough new/better gameplay over FS19 to be worth it. And I'm kinda assuming the same applies to FS25. Gonna be 70 GB and just be a bit more visual prettyness which won't be worth the price when you already have FS19. Though I may be the weird one that put more stock in gameplay than in pretty pictures.

[@baardk2]

Looks great but when the tractor drive in the water it looks like it float on top of the water because the waves are too big. They should make the waves smaller or the tractor more down in the water.

The problem is, all of the engineers are doing years of work trying to catch the Giants Engine up to date. Engineers aren't adding tractors. These are artists and modellers. What we lose because they are playing catch up is new gameplay mechanics.

[@saban_6r]

When it comes to lighting, the Fendt 728 that's on ModHub rn has really interesting lights. It's the only tractor that I know of whose low beams get blocked by the front implement. If you have a weight on the front, it will cast a shadow. Might be something similar to what we are going to see in FS25

[@redeemedreuben5330]

💪💪😃😃grass is now changing colour during fall and winter. That's great which is common where i am from. Cool

[@itsjosh9833]

Hey there, concerning the ground deformation: The slide says 'displacement mapping' which is a technique in 3D rendering to display different heights on a planar surface. It is basically an additional texture layered on the grounds texture, that tells the polygons on which height to be. In this case it seems that it also influences physics, I dont know in which way tho. Because normally you would have a different, invisible geometry for collision with the player and vehicles with a much lower polygon count. Collisions with lots of polygons are very hardware intensive. My guess is that the collision geometry is at the lowest point of the deformable ground. The depth theoratically is 'limitless' (the engine will have limits) but the devs will have put a limit in, because there is only so much deformation a mesh can do before looking odd. IF digging of some sorts will be possible, this technique would only allow digging down or up and not sideways, so no selfmade caves :(

[@rikleith]

As a mid 40s man i play fs22 a fair bit and i have tonsay 22 and now 25 blow my mind. I come from an age where we had games like space invaders and worm. Keep up the great work

[@darthvader3211]

One thing about the 'ground deformation' is I heard it resets back when you leave the game otherwise the save would be too big to contain the information or something

[@iceuul674]

Same like tire tracks, if your hardware does not have memory problems, they are there as long you play.

[@oBCHANo]

The save definitely wouldn't be too big, it's just a height displacement, so the height at any one point on the grid would just have save an extra value that would contain a + or - change to height.

ppl expecting too much out of "terrain deformation", this is not it. its glorified tyretracks. its not Snowrunner. still, its there, and its moddable, meaning if it applies to all of the grid and not just fields modders can do alot with it. so, a compromise, BUT a not so bad one for now.

They are not saved, you go out from game, they disappear. It depend what hardware you are using, the memory have enough room to hold all the info. If not, then they are deleted. For example, powerful PC... they never disappear, only if you leave the game.

I hope they make the contracts more realistic. Instead of a certain amount for the whole job the farmer offers.

[@LodewijkVrije]

if you want to have an idea of what "ground deformation" looks like. go play red dead redemption 2. go to the town of valentine. and then just watch what happens to the ground if carriages drive by in the dry and in the wet. also how do you fill the ruts back in? its the giants engine..... you just change the field state with a plow or cultivator.

[@andreheinz1942]

There's no wake because there is no motor pushing water from a motor, like a boat or jet ski. The motor and hull normally is way causes a wake.

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

the ground deformation is that still just a texture with altered physics like in 22? or is it actually altering the model of the ground? cause plowed fields in 22 have like simulated bumps and stuff even tho its just a flat texture, so im curious if its the same here or if its actually like "3d fields"if you can call em that

[@steppenwolf1199]

You should watch Farm Sim Guy's video. He was at the con and talked to some staff. They went over some of the improvements. Especially involving the mud: you can't get stuck, but tire marks show. I wonder if a leveler could smooth out ruts? Or a modder use tires interactions as a plow?
