The Bourgault DLC arrives this March 10 on FS 19. It contains no less than 8 XXL materials dedicated mainly to large maps. Tillage, weeding, sowing… and above all a large tractor, here is what awaits the players with this new pack.
We do not necessarily see it on the miniatures above but the size of the tools is disproportionate, going up to a pneumatic seeder of more than 30m! No need to go wandering on Fellsbrun, and even Ravenport only offers 3 or 4 fields capable of accommodating Bourgault tools. But the problem is not so much the work in the field. No. The problem is the dexterity you will need to simply get the convoy out of the dealer's fleet. Hell for most players. So much so that we end up giving in and using the “Teleportation” mod to drop the tools directly into the workplace. Moreover for this test, I went directly to the Welker Farms map known for these plots dedicated to Big Bud tractors from the famous American farm.
On the production side, it's art. The models are flawless, complex, hyper detailed, and the impressive amount of flexible requires respect from the technical team of Giants Software in charge of the development of this DLC. The deployment animations are not to be outdone. Everything is timed, a watchmaker's job.
The American players will be seduced, but the Europeans are not sidelined. A seed drill of "only" 8m working width is available and can be used on smaller maps. But on the old continent, what will especially please us is the green tractor ...
John Deere 9RX to bait the barge
Giants Software takes advantage of the John Deere license to offer in this pack, the largest tractor of the American firm: the 9RX. This crawler tractor has 4 engine configurations ranging from 520 to 670 HP. On the traction side, you can opt for a larger version, but in this case be careful when turning because the tracks tend to touch the hitched tool during maneuvers. In use, the articulated 9RX goes everywhere and can accommodate a medium-sized card like Fellsbrun. Too bad, however, that the machine lacks options to purchase. But there's a good chance the mod community will get down to it quickly.
The Bourgault DLC is available on all platforms - Steam, Epic Game, PS4 and Xbox One - at a price of € 7,99 or 1 euro per material, which is quite fair with regard to the quality of the material.
