 | This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
Despite being graphically out of touch and quite an obscure game, only releasing in Germany, Poland, and UK, Farming Simulator 2008 is the first game in the Farming Simulator series that opened the way for later titles. It interestingly just started as a hobby developed by only two people.

Debug Tools
A debugging tool exists within the game and can be activated by going to Appdata\Roaming\FarmingSimulator2008\game.xml and under <development> set <controls> to true. Now, when in game, the game offers access to a variety of debugging tools:
- ~ - Toggles the console.
- F2 - Toggles a framerate counter.
- F4 - Toggles a wireframe view of every rendered 3D model.
- F5 - Scrolls through views of hitboxes, lights and an unknown view.
- F7 - Toggles debugging stats about the active save game.
- F9 - Tries connecting to local Visual Remote Debugger at port 5425. Fails.
- F10 - Tries connecting to local Remote Debugger at port 61407. Fails.
Unused Bergmann HTW trailer
 | This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Find out why the trailer does not load. |
In the trailers folder there is a completely unused Bergmann HTW silage wagon. Despite this trailer being featured in multiple prerelease screenshots, it went completely unused in the final release and its revisions. This is possibly due to:
- Licensing, as the only brand present in this game is Fendt.
- It's real life usage, which is hauling silage. The only present crop type in this release is wheat.
Despite there being everything necessary for it to work, the texture, .i3D and .xml file, loading it into the game does not work. The reason behind this has yet to be found out.
