Compared to other video games, Farming Simulator 18 has controls that are pretty simple to understand for any age group of players. The Speed Slider allows a player to accelerate, brake or reverse the vehicle they are using. A player can Steer their vehicle using the control pad on a handheld system, or by tilting their device on the mobile app. The Zoom Icon lets players get a closer or farther look at the activities they are completing (done on mobile version by dragging finger in or out), and the Camera can be rotated to get a better view as well (done on mobile device by dragging finger left or right).
