FarmCon 18: Modding for Farming Simulator 19 Engine and More! (New Agenda)

The FarmCon 18 is approaching and our program is filling up. Today we would like to present you a further overview of what is to come. Visitors to FarmCon can also look forward to the following programme items:

Workshop: Modding for LS19 engine, features, changes, tips (Stefan Maurus)
With FS19 some things will change for our modders. The engine revisions and some technical changes mean that modders have to familiarize themselves with the new situation. Stefan Maurus will talk to you about these changes and give you some tips for better modding.

Workshop: Modding for consoles (Jan-Hendrik Pfitzner)
Bringing a mod to the console is not always easy. Jan-Hendrik will talk to you about the 10 most common console conversion errors and give you some tips and tricks on how your mod can make it to the consoles.

Panel: General Modding Q&A (Martin Rabl, Manuel Leithner, Marc Schwegler and Stefan Geiger)
You have questions about modding? Here is your chance to ask all these questions and get them answered by our team. Martin will be your moderator and Manuel, Marc and Stefan will answer your questions.

First agenda items confirmed

On July 14th and 15th it will be ‘this time of the year again’. Once again, FarmCon brings together players, modders and developers of the Farming Simulator series. The HORSCH FITZentrum in Schwandorf will be the meeting place for this unique community for two days. Here you have the chance to talk to the developers, watch presentations about the game and improve your modding skills.

We are still finalizing the program, but we would like to give you an overview of some of the program points in advance.
