Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Let's take a little tour of my setup for 2024. I've upgraded with the HORI Farming Vehicle Control System for Farming Simulator.
I've also built a stand that will make switching between the wheel and keyboard much easier. Let's take a look.
I also share my thoughts on the HORI Farming Vehicle Control System.
Farming Simulator 22 on the PC, with several mods & in 4K

Saw my post on your board! Glad I can return some happiness to you too Scroft. You mean a lot to me and to all your subscribers in general. I have always found you deserved way more subs, likes and fans. Your videos are immensely professional. And your setup shows the same 👏
I really appreciate it. All the comments. It gives me motivation! I really appreciate all the support
Jan. 5, 2024 Thank you sir for sharing a little bit about your personal set-up. Even though I use an Xbox controller on my PC to play FS, I appreciate your brute honesty about this product. My son uses a Logitech (not sure of the model; possibly a G20 or G29??) with side panel and joysticks. The most fun I had with his set up was riding a horse while using the steering wheel to guide it. LOL That was a hoot!! I prefer the simplicity of using the controller but again, I'm glad you showed your set-up and explained the different options and about the overall quality for the cost. Very kind of you sir. Please tell Ms. Beanie hello and give Winnie a portion of warm mash for me. Take care .
Thank you Scroft, for your time. I currently have a thrust master set up, honestly I don’t like it, I use it for driving games and the 7yo loves it. I am over 50yo and for whatever reason my mind takes me back to 4-8 bit games that came out when I was a youngster. (Atari, calico vision, then Nintendo) one or 2 buttons. Remembering where the button is and what they do is impossible for my mind. As young as you are with the imagination you have an awesome future ahead of you
20:22 WRT vision in the cab, something I think would be a massive improvement would be pre-sets for where you look. So like when you are reversing, you hit a button and your head turns to a customisable position, then another button returns it. There could be multiple positions you could select (or cycle through to) which let you see different things. Maybe this is something a modder could create?
Thanks Scroft. Personally, I use G29 from Logitech as well as Trustmaster hotas and throttle, which works perfectly for front loaders etc... But what makes the experience top notch is Track IR. Which gives you the opportunity to lean to the sides, back and forth to see and orientate yourself better when you have to turn corners, place bales and so on. Some may say that Track IR doesn't work for them. But it does for for me. Once you get used to it, it's beyond comparison and and makes the tasks so much easier. With that being said, I could imagine some viewers would get dizzy after a while watching your videos 😅
@@BimC are you playing on pc or console?
Thx for showing your behind the scenes, always interesting to see things like that. As for the Hori, hell of a lot of money, but I don’t have to pay, cos I play on PS5, and as far as i know it’s not compatible, although I could be wrong. Thanks for the video. Oh one other thing, you’ve inspired me to build a stand now for my flight simulator hotas joystick 👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
The biggest reason I stopped using the Saitek side panel was the cheap and nasty plastic and the clackyness of the buttons. It's difficult to be immersed with quality like that. This is a nice, honest, review of the product, and as you say, any setup will improve your gameplay. I've gone back to controller, for the amount I play FS, it's not worth the expense. I'd like one, but at almost $1000 in NZ, it's firmly in the I can wait bracket.
I have got to agree with you there. I have also got the Satek side panel plus a Logitech G29 steering wheel. and pedals. The pedals are great and the steering wheel isn't bad. But there are no thumb sticks which I think are really needed. So, like yourself, I too have gone back to just use a controller, keyboard and mouse, I keep having trouble with the Saitek side panel. For some reason, it keeps wanting to walk the person sideways off the map.
@@jonathanmaybury5698 the G29 has the best pedals out of all 3 setups. the Logitech heavy equipment bundle is of equal if not better quality than the hori except the joystick part. The insane dead spot in the wheel drives me crazy, the turn signal thing feels like it's gonna fall off any moment and the pedals slip on both a hard surface and carpet.
Yep, I got the saitek wheel and pedals as well, but I already had the Logitech wheel and pedals, which I love, the side panel was the specific bit I wanted and was so disappointed when I unpacked it. The heavy equipment wheel, pedals, and panel are sitting in a box in the garage now.☹️
@@MrBuyerman I’ve only owned the Logitech version, I’ve read it’s leaps better than the saitek.
@@MrBuyerman my first setup for FS was the G29 and a used Logitech side panel from eBay. it was fun but the lack of thumbsticks on the G29 made it difficult. I bought the Hori before Christmas but was really disappointed in the quality of it, so I found an eBay heavy equipment wheel and pedal set to compare. I boxed up the hori and tagged it for return on amazon. The price dropped on the Logitech heavy equipment bundle right after Christmas so I grabbed another complete set for 180 bucks and stashed it in the basement incase I have a failure, its can also be used on the PS4 so that could be fun for nephews or when the kiddo get a little older. There is a company that builds really nice custom side panels from Germany I am going to get one of those In may when they release it. If Hori fixes the terrible wheel and turn signal stalk I would combine them together for a great very realistic sized setup.
That's an amazing setup must of cost a few penny's 😅 but that's great and glad you enjoy it as much as you do and I'm sure me and other viewers will enjoy the upcoming content just as much if not more than previous content
Oh sweet! Looks blinking awesome Scroft, and of course you handle those controls like such a pro! The hubby recently set me up with a new rig for Christmas, but boy have we have troubles getting it all to work for me! The rig itself is advertised for ages as young as 12. I'm 32 Scroft, and the seat is far too big for me haha! My measly height of 4ft 11 sets me so far back I can't even reach the wheel 🤣 I'm a teeny tiny little lady 🙃thankfully I'm also a seamstress and can sew - so my new project (which I'm about half way through) is sewing a 9" thick full on cushion seat to fit over the top. It's a pain to need to finish it before I can use the rig, but not going to lie, making my own personal farming cushion does excite me! Its a deep green corduroy velvet, so very fitting if I may say. Anyway! The things we have to do, to get the set up right huh?! Lol. Happy new year mate. As always, loving the videos 🙌
i payed over $750 for my racing wheel and petals . i never have used a wheel on fs . i used the keyboard . so i use a lot of auto loaders ..i'm disabled and live with bad back pain when sitting or standing .i get around with a wheelchair. i spend most of my rest time laying in my bed .it help keep the pain low. i have my computer on my foot board of my bed. lol i guess what works for you .just do it.
Need a head n eye tracker so you can look back or around with ya head movement, maybe a buffday present!
Hey Scroft great video mate love your 100% honesty on the product and yeah does look decent tbf, really enjoyed seeing your setup though proper awesome that is keep up the fantastic work👌
Hi Scroft, I use a logitech wheel with a hotas one joystick and throttle and its more or less the same setup but for far less money and it all works a treat, love all your content so keep up the good work and stop faffing lol
Hey Scroft, make sure to set the deadzone in the controller settings to 0 percent. Standard is 14 percent. In your video it seems that the game is not reacting to slight movements you make close to the center position of the wheel.
Thats a Hori thing there is play before the sensors pick up the movement. you can turn the deadzone to 0 and it makes no difference. Its really noticeable when in cab
@@MrBertstare Oh really? Like a hardware dead zone? Well, that would be a deal breaker for me.
@@mrdubert9782 yeah, you can feel it too its right before you feel any spring tension.
Mine has a lot of in/out movement, makes a bit of a scratching/squeal noise if you rotate it quickly. the blinker handles feels like its going to break at any moment.
I just boxed mine up today to send back after a couple of weeks. I went back to the Logitech wheel. I also have a G29 but the lack of thumbsticks makes it hard to play, you need a controller.
The joystick on the hori is nice though, a full-size unit is better than the logi side panel. buttons feel about the same.
I do like how narrow the Logi is and that it comes back towards you and down off the desk, very natural position. also allows you to put he mouse/trackball in-between the wheel and panel.
I am in the middle of printing a custom mount for the logi side panel to hold a tablet to run sim dash. that should take everything up a notch too. Its like siatek had originally intended for there to be more add ons there are mounting grooves and laces for nuts and bolts on the back side.
Scroft did a really nice review here, very honest. I think thats the difference when you pay for it vs getting it for free because if you are harsh on the free review you won't get anymore free stuff. see this all the time in my field, wood working.
@@MrBertstare Thanks for sharing your experience. I am not really in the market for a new wheel but I am still interested in new products.
In general I am very happy with my Thrustmaster TX wheel. However, in Farming Simulator, I cannot get the Force Feedback to work and I wish the angle of the wheel was more like in a real tractor. Unfortunately the new Thrustmaster farming mounting base is not compatible with my model.
@@mrdubert9782 I had this experience with my G29 and it has something to do with when you power on the computer and the order of the USBs. when you are in game try unplugging your USB game devices and plugging the wheel back in first. then stick or pedals. It is my understanding from reading on the giants forum that only USB #1 is force feedback? I dont know how that works but it always fixed my issues.
Thanks for your honest review.👍
Please consider head tracking, it definitely improves playability
Very nice setup Scroft! looking forward to seeing you play with the steering wheel. I currently use a logitec G29 and a Saitek side panel definitely improves immersion and fun in FS! Enjoy the new set up bud!
So that's the place from where that beautiful story comes...
Something to consider: For as much as you do play it will wear out. But compare the price to higher dollar units which would also wear out and the cheapness of the unit becomes less important. It is a balance, you pay for quality, but sometimes it is better to buy cheaper more often. My heavy Equipment bundle has held up well, as well as I could have expected. As cheap and crappy as it feels it still works fine. And when it breaks...well, I got my money's worth out of it.
Can't agree more. I have the EXACT Secret Lab chair and I tell everyone I talk to that they are well worth the money! Keep up the great content in 2024 and top faffin' about! Nice set up!
It is very comfy! definitely worth it. Thanks buddy!
Excellent video, and I love your whole setup and the brilliant idea of building that custom-built stand. Well done!!!
On reversing, I have that same issue when using a steering wheel, and I find that I usually end up using my controller for backing up.
I currently have the Logitech G920 with a Simdashboard and Stream Deck, and I am waiting to get either this or the Thrustmaster setup, but I want to see some long-term reviews first to see if they last. Cause, as you mention, it is a significant investment.
My only concerns on this one are the build quality and that those buttons are really clicky, and I could hear them through your mic. Which could be a concern when creating content.
Scroft, have you tried setting up the two thumb buttons on your wheel to walk around instead of using the joystick every time? It could become quite annoying. Additionally, have you considered using a head tracker when in the cab? It might be helpful. Also, could you make a more comprehensive video on what all the buttons do? Do you have to set them up, or are they already done for you? As soon as you plug in the wheel, are they ready to go? If so, how good is the default setup? I agree with you that it's not worth the price, and having a spring instead of power steering is not ideal. I have experience with Thrustmaster equipment, and it's always been reliable. However, as you mentioned, it seems like it doesn't have the proper buttons for Farming Simulator.
I’ve ordered one from Amazon whilst watching this video…..Hori pay scroft his sales commission 😂😂
Your telehandler controls are accurate to IRL, at least in my experience. The side to side is in and out on the one ive got to use. The tiliting is holding a switch down + the default settings. Like the set up. Nice work with the stand
The board awesome
Thanks buddy!
This is a great video. The stand and the cable management are top notch! I swapped my left thumbstick to move the in cab view around. really helped a lot
beuatiful new video scroft
Great video scroft was thinking about getting one of these. Please can you do a video on how you changed the buttons on what they do as i find it hard to find the right setting to change lol. Anyway happy Christmas and new year pal . ?
That was a fair and balanced review. Thanks a lot!
I was looking at the Thrustmaster set, at least the FarmStick, but it appears to constantly be sold out.
So far I'm using the Logitech/Saitek Heavy Equipment Bundle. It's fairly good , but it isn't worth the 200-ish Euros I paid. The buttons have started to bounce, and I already have a couple of repairs in. (Broken wires on the side stick, broken solder joints on pedals and the side panel, broken plastic on the pedals)
The HORI appears to be a good set, but it's worth waiting for longterm experience from people like you, I think.
Let us know how it works in the long run. I think your opinion means a lot to your community.
btw: Didn't see my comments on the board. I thought you'd keep them on there for a chuckle about the German plonker who needed the "Tour de France with piles" thing explained. 🤣
(If anyone needs a laugh at my expense: Feel free. You deserve it!)
love your set up Scroft, the joy stick looks easy enough to use and think back hoe and wheel loaders will be a joy with it, I have had my G29 going on over 6yrs now, and it is getting clunky but still works smooth on FS22 any time I go to truck sim or car rally games the clunks prevents a fun time
For the algorithm. Likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions help your content creators more than you realize. Keep it up Scroft!
Your setup is amazing! My favorite part is probably the pack of skittles on your desk, or everything else.
Thank you Scoft for your review of the Hori FVCS and a look at your set up. I'm sure there are many of us out there that a tossing up whether to get the Hori FVCS.
Ohhh skittles 😂😂.. great setup scroft I love it.. still unsure about the hori... But happy you did a video on it.. thanks for your great content.. Evan from cork Ireland 👍
Thank you Scroft! excellent review I'm considering now
Thanks for the setup tour Scroft.
Regarding the 1st person view, in my opinion (and not everyone will agree) it doesn't make a great watch for the viewer. 3rd person view is so much better to see what's going on.
I completely agree. Everyone is so sold on first person, I find the videos to be boring and I hate playing that way too. I like to see everything around me, not a dash board.
@@seanobrien7169 Each to their own on the play style front. I was commenting purely on the YT viewers poi.
First time checking out the channel, love the stand for the wheel! I might do just that for my set up!! Thanks for the idea!
VR is the next step! Great video 🎉
not mean to be negative because i thought your videos are the best i have ever seen and i look forward to every episode but you say you want to play as realistic as possible .i watch your videos every time i play FS and i had 1435 hours last year and the year before 1320 hours so I've seen the whole series many times ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bet my lotto promise is on your board scroft so you can hold me to it 😂😂
Thanks for sharing scroft! Love these "behind the scenes" videos. Really interesting seeing where the magic is made. Have you tried your tobbi with it yet?
Erm...what is wrong with Ultramarine blue?? It's by far the best chapter and blue IS the best colour in the world, nothing to be ashamed of there, Scroft. If you painted those figures, they're awesome, well done.
I was at Kennedy Space Centre in 2014, what a place, best thing I did in Florida. The Atlantis building was stunning, that reveal when the screen goes up was 🤯
Great to see Scroft HQ though, you have a great space there.
Very cool setup, nice work building the stand for the wheel. My corner desk really isn't great for a wheel and extra bits. Might need to see if I can craft something
It was a great project to have over the Christmas break. I really enjoyed it, and the cable management was the cherry on the cake. It means I just have 1 usb cable to connect my computer
I got a decentusb hub from Amazon that's made to connect to a desk. It was like a tenner. Works a treat 👍
Only problem is the Mrs has seen the left over wood and now wants to make a shoe rack 😅
@@Scroft I've done something similar with the wheel and joystick. 1 connection on desk is way easier to connect everything.
oops... that was bad planning. clearly you did too good a job
FS22 does have built in track IR support (it might work with other head trackers as well but i can’t speak to that). Changes the game for loader work. The ability t9 move the camera, lean, and shift naturally is so fun and immersive.
that setup is insane! loved just seeing your setup
Awesome! Thank you!
Have you tried first person with the eye tracker to increase the immersion? And does that change your opinion any or increase your satisfaction?
you can also use the thumpstick to look arround instead off the stick its much beter that way i have it that way and i love it happy new year scroft
Is it the steering wheel or your ingame settings that get you that kinda big dead zone?
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I notice you have a deadzone on the steering wheel (and maybe on the joystick). For a wheel, 0% deadzone works a lot better and more realistic. Have you tried that?
Indeed, it's hard to see perspective in FS22 (or any other game), as we don't see real depth. Only VR will deliver that right now.
thats outstanding Buddy, only thing id done different is casters brother lol maybe a pedal board, can they be mounted? and I would be interested in an updated video of it in place show casing your actual set up saw some in back ground looks great. LOL I should probably wait till end of video before blabbing away. Love it buddy now stop fapping and get back to work, got alot to do today..... Speaking of Giants Physics they really need a complete rework for realism but doesn't break the game for me, guess someone could do a physics mod.
Hey Scroft. Happy new year to you and ms beanie. Could you help with how you built the stand? I was using a racing stand but was too cumbersome in the room so attached the wheel and side panel to the desk and now just don’t use it. Your solution looks great and I love a bit of cable management 😂 absolutely love the idea of Velcro-ing the pedals to the carpet. Doing that in the morning!! Cheers. 0:45
Hi buddy I did a trip to B&Q and got 1 piece of wider flatter wood for the top which I cut to the width I wanted the desk so it would fit into the L-shaped set up. Then I got 2x pieces of a smaller more square wood which I used for the legs and supports. I cut that to size so it was the right height and cut out the smaller support pieces. I used wood screws i used three different lengths a long one to join the legs and the supports at the bottom of the legs a medium and short lengths to join the brackets to join it together but drilled pilot holes first to stop the wood slitting. The length of the screws would depend on the wood you've chosen. I also got corner brackets to go round the bottom of the legs to strengthen the supports. Also I got 4x 90 degree shelf brackets to support under the table it's self connected them to the top piece and legs. Then some black paint, scroft stickes and some foam pads to prevent the table from tapping against the desk. I think that's everything 😅
@@Scroft wow thanks. Wasn’t expecting full instructions! I’m going to B&q tomorrow anyway.
I have already Velcro-ed the pedals to the carpet. £3 from Poundland v expensive stand from Argos 😝
Thanks for the continued education and inspiration. ❤️
@@ScroftIs it sturdy enough to put on a racing wheel on it to play simracing games?
No shaking?
You made my day, wasn't using my wheel anymore cause it was a pain in the backside to always strap it to the desk and the remove it play other games.
I'll try and do the same kind of support 😊
Nicely detailed video, and a really nice setup. The sidepanel /joystick looks like an improvement over the logitech saitek farmsim one, but shame it uses the exact same cheap plastic.
Also, Ultramarines...silly Mon-keigh.
Thanks buddy!
not sure what to use between this one and the G29 just feel this wheel in the video is rather expensive for as you said for what you get. love the board that's a creator who actually cares for his community!
Thank you for the review of this been thinking about it for some time. You mentioned VR and I wanted to let you know I have played this in VR using an Oculus Quest 2 with a program called VORPX you have to purchase it but it is an absolute game changer. Just looking for the best side panel to use with it because it needs to be tactile because you can’t see with the headset on.
Nice setup
Thanks!
NUKA GIRL!!!!!!! Love fallout, and nice set up
I love your set up what I like to do good idea with the wheel set up
Thank you! It makes it alot easier for me at least!
@@Scroft also thank you for your content keep it up loving the ai pictures in the farm hand series
Thank you for your tips.
Any issues with button set up when you swap over the wheel in and out?
So I would recommend the thrust master without a doubt. It has made it so much more immersive compared to the Logitech side panel
Hi Scroft,
Great video. Do you have a link to the small desk plans? I'd like to build 2 of them. One for farming and one for my flight simulator controls.
Thanks!
cool setup it looks very good 👍 you talk about the weight of the hay bales but 2 tons is way too much the largest we weighed was 650 kilos and it was silage after fermentation normal hay is very light and difficult to stack and transport if you don't make large bundles
That's very true. That's not the problem. It's the physics of the weight in the game. Basically, 2t feels more like 600kg. When lifting and stacking bales
Nais setup
You can solve the incab camera view with Track IR. I find it very usefull in forest harvesters and wheel loaders.
I currently use the original sieteck steering wheel and side panel and I'll be hinest I think it's cheap quality for the price you pay and I would rather hame the new wheel and control panel but can't justify it 😅
Personaly to me think you would of been better with the thrust master wheel and farm stick but that's my choice
Let me know if you know what I mean
What if giants made a depth perception gauge just next to the mini map that could show distance angle of spikes then bales to wall when on what an in cab immersion experience that would be elevated (hope this comes across okay)
I have G920, but because my gaming PC shares an L shaped desk with my work PC and whatnot I don’t have it setup… would you be willing to put out a materials list for your setup? I’d love to go back to using a wheel and some sort of wide panel but need to be able or move all that out of the way when not in use.
Hi buddy I did a trip to B&Q and got 1 piece of wider flatter wood for the top which I cut to the width I wanted the desk so it would fit into the L-shaped set up.

@@Scroftawesome, thanks for the reply! Love the content, keep doin what you do. The community you’ve created through your content is so wholesome, it’s what this world needs
the best way to solve the view problem is 3 monitor :P
It seems they need to do a firmware update for fs 25. I just updated mine and i cant change many of the keybinds without issues
Ice setup whats the name of the mouse and the mouse mat
From the top of my head I can't remember but I'm fairly certain there's only one of them if you Google logitech self charging mouse it should come up 👍
Scroft You have a deadzone at the start you need to go into the settings on fs and remove that
I'm have a look! Thank you!
Why does the wheel spring back? Not a single tractor has that future irl.........
can you please tell us where i can get the neon light for my own logo?
Sorry buddy but I don't know. It was a gift. I suggest maybe a google search
Can you use it for Xbox?
Just pc unfortunately 👍
if anyone could help I just got mine and the foot pedals don't work. if someone can help that would be highly appreciated
We need a face reveal
Its compatible with XBOX Series S
ps5?
Trust me... Get a decent headtracker
Must say, for the price of that thing, it looks like a cheap toy made of shit materials.. I'd rather take the Logitech Heavy Equipment bundle for half the price, better quality and more options..
Your DIY table is nice though.
