After a passage on FS 15 then FS 17, the forestry equipment John Deere 1470G and 1910G return to Farming Simulator 19 and the icing on the cake, JD license obliges, on all platforms.
Two pieces of forestry equipment are therefore included in the official game catalog from Giants Software: 1470G harvester and 1910G forwarder from John Deere. These 2 motor vehicles were already present in version 15 in the form of mods. They were also seen in FS 17. North Modding Company just ported them to FS 19. A no-frills job.
The set benefits from the graphic novelties of the Giants Engine 8: more attractive textures, high-resolution John Deere stickers, and a very complete wheel configuration. However, 3D modeling "with a ladle" begins to make itself felt, in particular at the level of the harvester clamp which is sorely lacking in detail. Normal maps unfortunately do not always replace quality 3D. The interior of the cabins also suffers from a polygon smoothing problem.
In terms of functionality, the hardware has nothing to envy the competitor Ponsse, and does the job. The price can however make the difference, especially at the level of the carrier, charged almost 100.000 euros more than the Komatsu or Ponsse machines.
