what should definitely be adjusted
I have summarised the biggest problems with the excavator controls here, it would be great if you could fix it..
- uncontrollable mini excavator: the chains on the small mini excavator move much too fast, you can hardly control how it drives with the controller, almost always one chain is too fast - driving straight is sometimes almost impossible - it works just as well with the large excavator - sometimes it seems as if the large excavator was THE DEVICE and all the others were somehow made into it afterwards
- bulldozer controls: what happened to the controls here??? I've never actually driven a bulldozer before but I think there's something wrong with it... You accelerate and can't steer with the stick, instead you brake the chain with the triggers, or what's that supposed to mean? Ideally it should be like the big excavator, a trigger or button controls the chain forwards and backwards, or maybe like the Bobcat...
- Bouncing shovel (rotator): The shovel must ALWAYS stay fixed to the excavator and not bend like butter, that has something to do with the joints... Make an invisible joint, it can twist as much as it wants, but not the shovel.
- Leveling... The degree display on the front of the display isn't much use, if it says 0° the shovel is upright, but the shovel should be so straight that you can level straight, how else do you do that please? Estimate between 17 and 20° that it is straight?
- stuck: you are sitting on "molehills" - perhaps you can make the earth beneath you as well as beneath the shovel be leveled instead of being stuck.
- injure yourself: You always injure yourself if you get out too early and the goods/shovel hits you, it happens all the time with the Bobcat in particular... it's annoying if you're fast, in real life you have your assistants who hold the goods for you, you wouldn't injure yourself on the swinging load or the raised shovel, but here you do and it's really annoying if you're fast, it would be great if you could deactivate it, at least when you get out of the excavator
- What's also really annoying is getting out and lifting loads, couldn't you use a combo instead? I'm ALWAYS sitting in the excavator and you can only open the quick menu via B in the external view, inside you always have to look at the display or the exit, that's really annoying. Please make the quick menu inside the excavator too, that would be really great
- shovel doesn't empty completely: apparently there is a maximum height that you can shovel up - for example, when digging a swimming pool, the pile gets pretty big, when the shovel doesn't lose any more and you turn back, you suddenly lose soil again and shovel the hole back in. Perhaps there is still something that can be optimized?

All in all, I was really excited about the tech demo, and I have to say I was a little disappointed with the release, because it seemed to me as if they were showing off the best in the tech demo and then the game comes out and everything suddenly works worse than in the demo. I'm sure you'll fix that, the game has only just come out. I hope you can add one or two to the list, I'm sure that once that's fixed, the game will be VERY WELL received by all excavator fans like me, but unfortunately it often causes frustration.

Thank you very much.
