Controls?!
Good morning/afternoon,

I was looking around and I noticed this on Farm Sim 15 as well that there is some controls that I have never used and don't know what vehicle they are for or where they would be used. Could someone please help me?! Below I have listed the control descriptions that I am unsure of. I know what most of these controls would do in "real life" but not sure what vehicles they apply to the in the game. Thanks in advance for your help.

Control Description:
Raise Drawbar
Lower Drawbar
Fold DB Right
Fold DB Left
Open Flap
Close Flap
Rotate Pipe Up
Rotate Pipe Down
Lift Hydraulic Hitch
Lower Hydraulic Hitch
Open Door
Close Door
Lightswitch On/Off

The only thing I've thought of for the unused controls is that they might be debugging tools/controls we're locked from the functionality of but which still appear in the bindings list.
Even is that's not the case it's still fairly lazy and somewhat annoying to leave a bunch of unused controls that we have to keep scrolling past every time.

Right right. I never thought of that actually. But it would be nice if we could actually use those controls that is why I finally decided to post about it to see if anyone could tell me if they are able to be used or not.

Open close doors and lights is for the placeable buldings.
Pretty sure the drawbar and flap commands relate to the belt system.
Others would be a pure guess but I know there are external mods that use rotating pipes in FS 15.

Ohhh. I remember now that there was a placeable shed with opening doors. Make sense now. Thanks. I never really downloaded mods in 2015. I was content with the included stuff so I'm not familiar with what they had. Thank you.

I believe the flap is from some tippers.

Rotate pipe up and down is the little shute at the end of the pipe on your harvesters.

Open and close doors as well as lights off and on could be for placeable buildings, but they could also be IC controls on some tractors.

chrisben1 Thanks for your input. I did not think about the forage wagons and havestors. Thanks.

Marhus (spelling?) feed mixer also used the pipe commands. You were able the place the mixer and rotate and move the pipe so that it dumped directly into the trough.
