How to set up Courseplay for Automated Silage Part 2 - Farming Simulator 17 Courseplay Tutorial

[@barefootbilly7026]

I like it when you include the mistakes as well and then correct them, brilliant video, thanks for the time and patience you take to teach us

[@Datalund]

Yeah I think it is important to leave in the mistakes that happens, so everyone can see that it is not uncommon to make those mistakes :)

[@ThePersistentNoob]

These videos are fascinating to me! You always do a very good job of explaining how things work in a way that is clear and understandable. Which for me, makes Courseplay a little bit less intimidating. Keep up the great work!

[@Datalund]

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me that these videos are making it easy for you to use Courseplay :) I'll make sure to keep them coming! ;o)

[@RomanGalon]

Thanks for the Tutorial.I am using this mod for 2 days and i love it ! . I wish developers program something like this with smarter AI and make something like this even with more features and let us make this fully automatic that will be awesome, like Super modern Transport Tycoon :) ... old good times. And maybe in the near future VR support with VR controllers ;) Thank you

[@Datalund]

I honestly couldn't agree more. I too am a bit disappointed about the vanilla worker not being smart. If we look at games like Cattle and Crops we can see that it can be done. I guess it is just a matter of time before it will be standard in these kind of games (hopefully).

Really useful video thanks. Best regards Klaus

[@Datalund]

Thanks Klaus! It's a bit long but there are so many things to tell about this setup :) Happy you liked it though :)

[@chrisadams7216]

Very good video didn't know how to do this

[@Datalund]

Thank you and I am happy to hear you learned something from the video :)

Any idea why after setting up when it drives up and sets blade down it just keeping pushing down before seems to break. Then a code shows up on screen. Tractor raises blade and then just drives over pile

[@swigsfx2582]

I made a course for my tractor to back into the silo and unload. When it starts to drive out of the silo it just drives in a straight line nowhere near the course waypoints. It's kinda funny watching it tumble down cliffs but I'd rather it head back to my fields to follow the harvester lol. Any theories on what I messed up?

[@Spagghetii]

Can you use side tip? I think the game automates direction depending on the tippers position. Ill try it tomorrow.

[@Datalund]

I am not sure if side tip will work, but I guess it should... Let me know what you find out in your testing :)

[@Spagghetii]

Unfortunatly you seem to have to enter the bunker to use the dump trigger, you can force dump and it goes in but I don't think courseplay has an option for that. If the bunker you use has an extended 'Zone' it should work but otherwise probably not.

[@Datalund]

Yeah that makes sense. Courseplay needs the trigger to know when to start unloading, so if you can move the trigger out a bit, I guess it would work fine :)

[@filmfilm86]

I have a question...when i set the leveling and compacting the CP pushes everything back the silo but some chaffs is push outside the silo. When covering the silo some chaff is left outside :(

[@Datalund]

Yeah that happened to me as well. Guess it is a question of fine tuning Courseplay. I don't know if they are looking at that for Courseplay v6, but I doubt it will be changed for Courseplay V5.

[@bulwinkle]

Does levelling more work using a bulldozer rather than a tractor and levelling blade?

[@Datalund]

It would. But using a wheel loader is not possible with this setup. Atleast not if you want Courseplay to do the work :) Leveling and compacting mode requires the tractor and blade setup

[@chrisadams7216]

You got a vid on how to do reverse dumps like on some maps the solos are not drive through

[@Datalund]

Most of this video is for reverse dumping into the silo. I start setting up both the compacting course and the transport course at around 3:30 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3aqZmygl6qnock)

[@chrisadams7216]

no what I mean is if you look at the map sandy bay 17 the farm silo tip trigger is not a drive through it a reverse only and I'm struggling to set it up like the method you done could you take a look

[@Datalund]

I'll have a look at it asap 👍🙂

[@chrisadams7216]

your the man

[@Datalund]

I had a look at it today and I will be making a video showing you how I setup the courses for silos that are closed in one end. The video will not be on Sandy Bay though. I will be giving a little preview on the map I am working on, but the setup will be the same on Sandy Bay 😉

[@brandonbohac9837]

Could you do it with a pay loader

[@Datalund]

I doubt it, but honestly I haven't tried
