How to set up Courseplay for Field Work - Farming Simulator 17 Courseplay Tutorial

[@MrSneakyGunz]

Great video! You absolutely deserve more subs and views. Keep up the good work.

[@Datalund]

Thank you :) Honestly the views and subs are great, but those are just perks of making these videos. If my videos are helping someone having a better experience in FS17, then I have reached what I wanted :o)

[@davidclark93]

These are helping me loads. I've never used courseplay till now and found your videos more easy to follow and understand than most I've seen so far. Thank you for all the time you've taken to put these videos together :) liked and subscribed.

[@Datalund]

Thank you David! It really means a lot to me with the feedback :) I'll make sure to keep them coming ;o)

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

im really behind lol. i only just learned of this mod an hour ago. cant wait to try it out tomorrow after work. i really been wanting to play some of the bigger maps but omg hard to do them alone. this is going too be a game changer for sure

[@quocdang196]

I have another farming game and this was called hired help, it was automatic and I didn't have to set anything but provide the vehicle and pay the person

[@mizzyroro]

What's the advantage to using a hired worker? Apart from wages which isn't a problem when you use the money cheat. Seems like an awful lot of work when you can just hire a worker. I thought this mod was for tedious jobs where you couldn't hire a worker like selling crops or loading crops during harvesting or selling livestock etc.

If I am using the Kuhn DLC pack and have the triple tool setup subsoil plow, cultivator and seeder do I use this mode or the seeding mode? Or is there another mode/option I should be using?

[@Datalund]

Great question :) You would want to use the Fertilize and Seeding mode for this setup. The tool will not turn on the seeder if you are using it in Field Work mode. It is an amazing setup by the way. Oh and sorry for the late replay

[@Enchisedmy]

I realise this is an old video, but maybe somebody's got the information I'm looking for: No matter what option out of the 4 available all that actually changes is wether or not it will dismiss the CP working. I.e. no returning to start. If you've got any idea why this is I'd be delighted to know!

[@tomservo5347]

I've noticed dual rear tires seem to really slow down the turnaround process. Is a there a solution via turn width option in courseplay? Great tutorial fyi.

[@Datalund]

The Combi mode in Courseplay has a section about turning circle, but that mode is not available when you are in Field Work mode, Transfer mode and the Fill and Empty shovel mode (courseplay.github.io/courseplay/en/manual/index.html#hud_mode2settings). Otherwise I don't think there is an option to change the turning width.

[@Lusitani74]

Would you say that Courseplay is better for non square/rectangular fields that AI Vehicle Extension?

[@UmitSeyhan75]

In this video you are using a small cultivator. The tractor goes until the lines end and stop going back a bit and turning to backward and good to go. There is no problem beacause the implemet is going with trac as it is a part of it. But when I use the big implements (terra dics 600 for ex), they are not acting like as a part of trac. They are, umm twisty. So when the trac goes back it is buckling and the AI tries to fix it for half an hour. Is there anything I can do about that?

[@Datalund]

I'm afraid that problem is due to Courseplay still being in development. Some things can be a bit buggy still, and that is one of them. Nothing you can do to fix it. At least not that I have found so far

[@UmitSeyhan75]

@@Datalund Thank you for answering.

[@winkman30]

So this is hired help if i am reading correctly?

[@K_R87]

I see the benefits when harvesting and unloading but when doing field work ie. cultivating, planting and spraying isn’t easier to just hire a worker. Not being a smart ass just making an observation, again I can totally see how during harvest having the Courseplay run your equipment to a sell point or to your own silo would be a tremendous help and even when dealing with bailing hay and working silage. I just don’t see it in this application.

[@Datalund]

I'd say it depends a lot on the field you are working on. On a perfect square field I definitely agree with you. Hiring a worker would be easier. But if you have a map where the fields are not perfectly square, Courseplay honestly makes your life so much easier. But I think Courseplay is one of those mods where you always will have to weigh the pro versus the cons. It can be time consuming to setup, but the benefits of having the courses to reuse, can be a blessing.

[@adammclaughlin845]

It's a good tutorial but as for the mod, well speaking as a console player of FS19, this mod seems horrendously complicated.

[@Datalund]

I guess it can be a bit complicated when you start out using the mod, but after a while it feels natural using it :) And for FS19 they have made some changes to the UI, so now it is a lot more user friendly :)

[@colenelson9486]

I can't get it to overlap and they miss a lot what do I do

[@Datalund]

Make sure that you set your working width lower than the actual width of your equipment. Also make sure that you have unfolded the equipment when you press the calculator to automatically get the working width of the equipment. I usually have the working width set to 0,5 up to 1 meter lower than the actual width of the equipment. Hope that helps :)

[@colenelson9486]

Datalund Ok I will try thanks :)

[@ethanwiggles4447]

My set ups are not working

[@Datalund]

Try having a look at some of my latest videos about Courseplay. The setup shown in those videos are essentially the same method you should use, and it might help you :)

[@scottyhcruz]

No matter how much I try this it wont work. I even did everything you did in this video but it wont drive. It will sit there.

[@Datalund]

That really sucks :( If you have followed the video and one it how I have, I would say that you should make a ticket at Courseplay github, so the developers can have a look at the problem. Their github page is here: github.com/Courseplay/courseplay

[@bradharmon913]

I uninstalled the contractor mod...it conflicted with course play

[@jasondunbar3592]

I’d just use hire worker as he’s going over the crop when he’s finished

[@Datalund]

For a field with straight edges and no curves or turns, the hired helper is perfectly fine :) Courseplay will give a hired helper that won't panic when there is a turn ;)
