GIANTS Software and Vapos Inc. are pleased to announce the Oleo SC-8 today. We are very glad that we can finally announce that in partnership with Vapos Inc. we are working on a new hardware product specifically designed for Farming Simulator 17. The cube shaped Oleo SC-8 will bring even deeper and more realistic gaming experience to your virtual farm. Once connected via USB, the Oleo SC-8 will be able to generate more than 6700 different farming related fragrances by use of eight internal cartridges. - Martin Rabl, Marketing and PR Manager GIANTS Software.The system uses an innovative grid of odor points, which will be added to the existing maps in a later update. Once a player reaches one of these points (like stables, fields or vehicles), the system will trigger the hardware and the related fragrance emanates, creating an authentic farming experience. Additional dynamic triggers will directly react to actions and objects in the game. For the first time ever, players will be able to differentiate between a trailer full of grass and a trailer full of liquid manure with their eyes closed - by simply smelling it. The Oleo SC-8 is scheduled for a launch in fall 2017 and will be available for PC/Mac as well as all console versions of Farming Simulator 17. Interested players are invited to take a deep breath and try out it out in advance at gamescom in Cologne for the first time worldwide.

I'm guessing this is bs. There is no way a console will be able to do that.and PC's will need a programming to run something like that so each fragrance will be triggered at the right time. A script is needed therefore consoles won't run it. And the fact it was posted so early on April 1st makes me think giants was pranking everyone. Even though it can be argued they have been prankingnus since the release of fs17 with the amount of problems we have had with it

Yeah, I didn't read about this until April 3rd, so I didn't realize it was an April Fool's joke... I was getting excited, because it said it would be for consoles, too..
Then when I figured out it was a hoax, I got a little pissed. Giants software hasn't done a great job keeping a lot of their customers happy, and with their communication (or lack thereof). So for them to pull a cute little prank on us, get our hopes up, then pull the rug out from under us - I thought it was not a good move on their part...

I too did not see this till the 3rd.. I was looking forward to that raw sensation in your nostrils you get from pig farming... that infiltrates everything and never seems to come off you...
best April fools prank I read about this year though was pornhub... users would get a screen saying they have just shared to facebook..
bet that caused a lot of strokes... heart strokes that is... not the usual...

LOL, I hardly ever see you get irritated mdoss. My take on it is at least they have a bit of a sense of humour with the constant hate they receive, and we only see the English forum.... there is also the German, French and Polish forums too. I really don't think my wife would allow such a device in the house anyway haha. Do you really think this would be something people would want? Just seems to me that people wouldn't want their house smelling like diesel exhaust and manure lol.

Nice one Craig! Bet that one scared some people! Canada, yeah, at first I thought "who would want to smell gas, pigs, manure?" But then I thought it would be cool if we could smell freshly cut grass, perhaps the different crop smells, a field full of flowers, the ocean or water, the fresh laundry drying on the line by the house, sawdust when cutting or chipping trees, etc... It could be very cool! And it would just be water vapor (scented), so no harmful fumes, just an occasional turd smell..

just an occasional turd smell.. I don't wanna name names or anything but I already get this at home... I don't need to pay for it LOL!! I think the nice smells would be good but if the " turd" smells are anything like real life they tend to overpower everything else and hang around for a while hahaha. The wife makes me get undressed in the garage as it is so I think the turd smells would be a no go for me lol.

We could be lying in bed, playing Farm Sim, fart, and when the wife smells it, we could blame it on the Oleo!.. "No honey, it wasn't me - I just walked by the slurry pit."
