The small, very active modding team Blacksheep Modding posted on February 2 a Liebherr pack offering the manufacturer's tracked and wheeled R902s. To do TP? At all, crawler excavators are widely used in agriculture, especially in the maintenance of bocage or forestry work.
For installation, go through the modhub or directly via the official website Farming-simulator.com where you find the zip to copy in the / pdlc directory of the game. Once installed, all you have to do is activate it and run to the store to do your shopping.
The work done by the team is as always very complete. We do not deliver the excavator to you without tools. Also you will find there bucket, pliers, saw head, stump trimmer, blade ... the R902 can be used on the farm, in the field, or in the forest.
The realization is neat but nothing more. The models and textures are clean, but it is rather at the level of the reactions and behaviors of the machine that there still seem to be some hitches. The tracks do not follow the rotation of the drive axles correctly, and the arm sometimes gives the impression of being made of rubber. But overall physics is well managed.
Likewise when you take cereals from the ground with the shovel and empty it, your cereals seem to form a block, graphically quite disappointing, but this is a detail. Note also some inconsistencies in the grip of a trunk, which escapes from the clamp by sliding despite the many branches that should hold it.
The controls are not instinctive but after 5-10 min of handling the machine on the pad or on the Saitek steering wheel (a real pleasure), we get used to it and we arrive at the same level of efficiency on a forest site as with a Scorpio. I also note the small details like the tracks of caterpillars on the road when leaving the field, and the possibility of handling the machine with the door open.

Modelization
Physics and realism
Despite some physical inconsistencies that will certainly be corrected, this mod is one of the most complete made by the team.
