Logging Equipment is way under powered!!!!

Post by zach.c2001@gmail.com »

In the sim, the loading machines and skidders can barely pull /lift /move 4-30' logs before they lose traction, start dropping logs, tipping over, and can barely clamp down on them with the log equipment. In real life I see skidders loaded up with dang near 10-15 large trees and in the actual tree harvesting machines, the tree seems to pull it around instead of vice versa when trying to move the tree while being held by the crane claws... if you try to rotate it, it tips the machine over instead of moving the tree around so you can neatly stack your cut logs.... If you need help you can check out FDR logging on YouTube. He seemed to get the physics, power, and weight more accurately.... i would really love to be able to use the original equipment in the game, but as a solo player, it is taking way too long to clear a forest moving 3 logs at a time.... Other than that, its been a good experience!

What machines are you using?
Also fully grown trees are much thicker than what the machines are made to move a lot of. FDR's propack buncher for example can only hold 2 fully grown trees but more thinner trees.
It would be nice if trees planted closer would be thinner as thin logs pack better.
Running on 2 year old new old hardware that used to crash often.
