Reach check · your keyboard, this game

Can your board actually play Farming Simulator 25?

Every default bind, re-scored against the keyboard you own. Distance is measured from the left hand resting on WASD, because that is where it stays while you play.

On a 60% board Farming Simulator 25 loses 2 keys. Home and End are not on that board at all — so tilt camera has nowhere to live until you rebind them. Do that before the first match rather than during it. How that compares with every other game.

On the keys: your hand is already there
Comfortable: a finger moves, the hand does not
Stretch: the hand lifts, movement wobbles
Off movement: you let go of A and D to press it
Not on this board: the key does not physically exist

Reach uses the same key geometry as BindIQ, which can rebuild the whole layout for you once you know what is out of reach. Mouse buttons always count as reachable — your right hand is already there.

How do you use cruise control in Farming Simulator 25 on PC?

Press 3 to switch cruise control on, then 1 and 2 to change its speed. It is the easiest way to hold one working speed across a field while you watch the tool rather than the throttle.

Back up to the tool and press Q to attach it; Q detaches it again. V lifts and lowers it, and B, X, O, V and Z are its functions — what each one does depends on the tool. G switches the control group.

Press Shift + P; P on its own is the shop. In build mode, Z and X move the camera up and down, Q and E rotate it, Home and End tilt it, the left mouse button places an item, the right mouse button held while you move the mouse rotates it, N and M change its colour and Esc cancels.

How do you change the time speed in Farming Simulator 25?
