How to setup Courseplay 5 for having multiple forage harvester (a tricky one)

[@ThePersistentNoob]

So good to see you back! Your videos are always so educational and yet done in a way that anybody can follow them. I also like the fact that you actually show the issues that come with Courseplay, like getting stuck on trees and such. It happens and it's good to see what you do to correct the issue rather than editing it all out. Keep up the great work and hope to see another video up soon!

[@Datalund]

Thank you buddy :) I really appreciate your feedback and yeah I prefer to show a "real" video. It makes it less intimidating for newcomers to start out with Courseplay :)

CoursePlay (CP) vehicles do respond to AI vehicles, (and always have since way back in FS08). You will notice the CP vehicle will break and accellerate when behind other AI vehicles in traffic. The times when the CP and AI vehicles collide, is usually due to driving too fast for CP to respond to the AI traffic, or high AI traffic numbers that causes CP to get confused, or else just bad routing of the CP course.

Thanks for doing the vid. I was having many of the same problems as you were, such as the with the leveling tractor not being able to keep up: I ended with interim chaff storage at the silo's. I was never able to get more than 2 harvesters to work properly, because the chaser tractors always lined up for the first harvester, and ignored the others. On my next go around, I will try using the BigX Cargo's, as they behave like tank style harvesters, provided that the newest versions aren't sliding while unloading, but I'm running with the More Realistic mod, so it may be tricky. Thanks again for taking the time to do the vid.

[@Datalund]

You are most welcome mate :o) And yeah I think this setup is very hard to run with more than 2 harvesters. I think it can be done, but you would have to be watching over it constantly. I am sure the BigX Cargo mod will make it work a lot easier :)

[@captainyellowfin4390]

Nice to see another video from you!

[@Datalund]

Thank you Captain ;o) I know they are a bit far apart at the moment, but it will change soon :)

[@captainyellowfin4390]

Datalund, quality over quantity :-)

[@Steen6319]

Very nice video. Thanks a lot. This really helps :)

[@Datalund]

So happy to hear, that my video has been a help to you :o)

[@billdeloach5868]

Thanks a hell of a lot, this tut was amazing!!!

[@SeducingJackel]

thanks for posting this tutorial, you've explained this mod in 'laymans' terms just the way i like it. i have favourited this playlist for future reference and Sub'd you. blrilliant thx

[@Datalund]

Thank you so much for the kind words! It honestly means a lot to me and I am so happy that you can use the tutorials :)

[@lukesepter3250]

31:06 is there a specific reason why you want to disable fuel saving on the course?

[@Datalund]

In this setup I have the level and compacting tractor setup to look for all Courseplay controlled tractors within a set range. So when the carting tractor arrives at the bunker silo, the level and compacting tractor detects it and goes to the waiting point. But the carting tractor will have to wait for the level and compacting tractor to get out of the way, and that can take some time. Sometimes it will take so long that the fuel save option in Courseplay will kick in, and shut off the engine of the carting tractor. If the tractor is shut off, it can sometimes cause the level and compacting tractor to think that the carting tractor is gone, and it will go back to the bunker silo to continue the job it has. So that will cause the two tractors to crash into each other. That is the reason i disable the fuel saving when carting to a bunker silo :)

[@kwaka5704]

Good to see videos made without edits etc. Just shows how not all mods are perfect etc. Did you ever work out what the "Align to first waypoint" feature did? I still have no idea.

[@Datalund]

Hey Kwaka :) Yeah I wanted to show that tractors getting stuck in trees and things like that, are quite normal, but I do think it can be done smoother. That will be for another video ;o) Have a look at mr740's comment. That is a great explanation of the "Align to first waypoint" feature. I couldn't have said it any better my self :)

[@dygituljunky]

Why not use the automatic search with the "search on field" function activated? Couldn't choosing your harvester for each tractor cause a backup at the reactor waiting point if they get out of need sequence?

[@gabrieldillon11]

You are the course play king Data, im very new to this, any chance you do a tutorial on drive control? btw i downloaded your map but havent got a chance to play yet

[@Datalund]

Thank you so much Gabriel :) It really means a lot to me, and I am happy if my videos are helping you getting a better experience with Coursplay :) I will make a video on the Drive control mod. It's been something that I have wanted to do for a while, so it will come up on the channel soon. And hopefully I can release the version of the map that you see in the videos as well. I keep my fingers crossed ;o)

[@jassåduu]

Whats its name

[@ozarksfarmerhansen8782]

Great Job Professor thanks.

[@Datalund]

Thank you so much :)

[@jhlane1977]

Could you set the offset for tractor course to be right hand side when doing headland? Would avoid trees and pylons..

[@Datalund]

That would be a great way of avoiding the trees on the edge of the field :) And for the headlands it would work really well. I am not sure how it would work with the actual fieldwork. I think you would have to set it back to automatic due to the symmetric lane change, but I am definitely not sure about that.

[@christopherlueder5913]

Can you share the links to the futterlager and techfarm displays?

[@Datalund]

The futterlager can be downloaded here: www.modhoster.com/mods/schweinefutter-mischfutter-lager-aus-heulager The Display mod can be downloaded in the ingame modhub or from Giants website here: www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&mod_id=102354&title=fs2017 Both of them are really nice mods for something like this ;o)

[@christopherlueder5913]

Thank you for making great tutorials.

[@charlesevbotokhai4220]

Pls what the name of the map u used in this video

[@seansomers2923]

U could make slightly different tip points or put the silage in yrself

[@Datalund]

Indeed :) But I wanted to show how to fully automate this task, so I went for adding in another building as a buffer ;o)

[@aleksandarlenhart2078]

i have dirty tires and ground response mod but i dont have crop destruction mod and for good reason

[@EnigmaFarmer]

wonder if you can help me, I would like to set up courseplay to spread solid manure on my fields which I can do but would like to have the solid manure spreader fill up automatically from a manure storage point and then return to the field, I don't want to use a loader or a portable elevator to load at the cows or pigs but would rather take their manure to a central storage point and load the manure from there. can you please help me

[@Datalund]

Is there an automatic loader at the storage point that you can drive up to and it will start filling the trailer?

[@EnigmaFarmer]

thank you for the reply. that's the problem there is no auto loading point on my map and I cant seem to find a mod that will auto load solid manure when running a combined course in courseplay. the setting up of spreading the manure is no problem but the refilling of the trailer is unless I manual reload or use a loading shovel and that's not what I'm trying to do here.

[@Datalund]

I am not familiar with a mod that can autoload your solid manure. If I was to set this up, I could setup a course using Courseplay to fill the manure spreader. I know it is not what you are searching for, but I don't know if there is another way of doing it. There is a placeable mod for holding the manure: www.modhoster.com/mods/manurelager Don't know if that helps you

[@EnigmaFarmer]

Datalund thank you again for the reply. I have that mod you refer to and it does not auto load. I wondered if there is a way to edit the mod so that it will auto load. I'm not to hot on mod editing. If you want to do a course then it mite make me decide to go down that route , as I am open to any ideas on this. Thanks again

[@Datalund]

Og bugger... I was kinda hoping that mod would fix it for you :) But seeing as that is not the case, I would consider setting Courseplay up like I have done in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5-4hWNmbNN7jrM That is a fully automated setup with Courseplay for solid manure

[@ivanveg003]

Question: can you look at krone nc baller/wraper for some reson it freezes,all other cp workers are working but I can't get out or stop the cp on that baller. If you or someone know the reason I would like to know. Thanks

[@Datalund]

Are you thinking about the Krone Ultima? If not could you link the baler, please :)

[@ivanveg003]

Datalund yap krone ultima cf 155 xc is the baller

[@Datalund]

I've not tried the Krone Ultima with Courseplay yet, but I'll have a go and see what happens :) I'll get back to you with this one

[@ivanveg003]

Datalund thank you for your time to look at it.

[@mikkelkragelundnielsen2295]

What map is this?

[@Datalund]

This map is my own edit of the Loess Hill Country: www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&mod_id=71230 The farm layout you see in this video (plus a ton of other things!), is all made by me, so the original map doesn't look like this. Just to let you know ;o)

[@jarosmith9635]

please give link all mods

[@Datalund]

I'll see if I can make some sort of spreadsheet of all the mods I use, but I am not sure I can list all the mods.

[@cmeproone]

Excuse me, what's the name of this map? :)

[@Datalund]

This map is my own edit of the Loess Hill Country: www.farming-simulator.com/mod.php?lang=en&mod_id=71230 The farm layout you see in this video (plus a ton of other things!), is all made by me, so the original map doesn't look like this. Just to let you know ;o) I have made a tour of the map in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2PQnoSYqMd6aZI

[@jhlane1977]

Can you send me the link to the latest courseplay Beta version or how you find it in Github. I had it but it seems to have gone corrupt.

[@kwaka5704]

courseplay.github.io/courseplay/en/installation/index.html Find it all here James.

[@jhlane1977]

KWAKA thanks. That's what I did but seems to be an issue. I lost courseplay midway through a game. Lost all ability to right click or keyboard shortcut. Reckon there was a glitch with a mod.

[@kwaka5704]

James Lane There is a setting within the hud to change right click to open

[@jhlane1977]

KWAKA Yep, know that. What I meant is I lost Courseplay completely, but thinking about it the clock and money went from the top right corner - wonder if I had somehow changed the graphics and it didn’t fit my monitor...
