The Ultimate Courseplay Guide for Beginners - Farming Simulator 22

[@pcplayermalc]

As your farm grows, Course Play goes from being helpful to essential! This version in FS22 is such an improvement over the FS19 one.

[@RandySplawn]

Wonderful video. Everyone that uses courseplay should watch. No matter your experience you can always learn. I know I did

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Thanks Randy

[@jeffparker3334]

As a newbie to FS22, I have found your tutorials invaluable. Your pace and in depth explanations are perfect. I just got my new computer today so will be joining the game soon. Thank you.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

You are very kind Jeff, thank you, enjoy the game 😊

[@jeffparker3334]

I commented on this video about a month ago. New PC is up and running strong. Game working well. Just watched again with the phone on this video and computer on FS 22. I’m now a master at CP!! Ok. Not even close but this got me going pretty good. Now it’s time for more advanced tutorials. Thanks FSG (what is your name anyway?). You have been my tutor through all my learning. 😊

[@Musketeer009]

I've never used Courseplay. I've now downloaded it and will be playing around with it. Thanks for the intro FSG.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Enjoy mate, it’ll change the way you play the game

Great video for viewing, but us consoles players just have to sit back and press B and watch AI get lost at the end of a field or upside down in the river 😂😂

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Haha yeah sadly 😂

Or you send a al out to driver to Johnstone market and it ends upside-down in river next animal dealer 😂🤣

EXCELLENT video. I went from being able to spell "Courseplay" to being able to use it quite well. Thank you!

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Excellent! Great to hear 😊

[@dxb8086]

I just recently found your channel and I love your let’s plays. But man have I learned a lot from some of your videos. FS22 is now like a completely different game to me. Finally I can go bigger. I always used to just give up at some point because the field work has got too repetitive and took ages to finish on midsized fields, not to mention on some of the big ones. AI-helpers we’re not much of a help with non-squared fields. But courseplay changes everything! Thank you very much for the tutorial. As for your let’s play series… I love to relax and watch them. You are an inspiration really. Have a nice day.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

You are too kind, thanks so much, and yes, once you courseplay you never go back!! 👍

Great instructions on how to use course play FSG and for anyone who watches these videos if you follow these tutorials, you will find it easy to use I was always confused about this mod but once I followed, FSG steps on how to set it up in FS19 I was able to use it and in FS22 I don’t even think about it now thanks to the tutorials, FSG did in FS19 and I rewatched this one only because of if there was any new features I hadn’t explored, I don’t know if FSG would agree one little thing is not to use course play with article vehicles when learning about CP but a fantastic tutorials from FSG as always and keep up with the great videos 👏👏👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lonestarfarmer7883]

great video! I use courseplay on all my saves, such a timesaver when doing multiple fields in one month. its nice to see an updated guide for those new to the mod or those thinking it was to difficult to learn. I know I had an issue at one point with a modded spreader that would offset itself every time I started it running the course luckily having the info in the HUD made it easy to adjust it back when needed. cant wait to see more on this one (and maybe an in-depth Autodrive one or two lol).

Brilliant, I use courseplay very much, but I don't know in detail, how it works, not talking about the fantastic mod, talking about idiot me, From your video, I have learned some very good things. Thank you. I would love more advanced tutorials on this from you. please.

[@tmangamingx]

I was wondering if any updates were given and it looks like I am still caught up on that. You confirmed I learned course play from you the correct way. Thanks for sharing the videos with us. I always enjoy watching them. I have learned a hell of a lot about farming and from others in the FSG community. Thanks FSG !

[@gtrulez]

I love to use courseplay. I always do multiple headlands around the field and finish of with up and down lanes but i also choose to skip a lane. This way the ai hardly has to back up at all, wich looses alot of time. You can add a bit of overlap on the headlands if you find that there are some missed bits on the corners of the field. Also you can increase the backup / corner speed a bit to make it more efficient.

[@farmert7959]

Great job! Thanks for the tutorial. I have used course play a little but am a long way from being proficient. You explain the details well and at a "speed" I can follow. 👍 Sometimes in tutorials the producer is in a hurry and the audience gets lost. I look forward to future videos on course play! 😎

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Why thank you Farmer T

[@mallyuk1]

Cheers FSG im doing not so bad with it now, it really helps thanks again

[@JoriDiculous]

Nice and easy basic tutorial. Been using CP for a few yers and i have always thought "Spiral" was exactly that. Going in a spiral so newer used on 'square-ish' fields. Always time to learn something new :D

I do the exact same thing with the right mouse button setting. I always deactivate it. I find it easier to use the delete key and also there are other functions which use the right mouse button that you really don’t want conflicting. Great video!

[@weztankersley2293]

awesome. going back through your Courseplay tutorials!

[@QookieCrumbles]

Thanks for this video, I was able to figure out most of course play as it is pretty intuitive, however, having certain settings highlighted, thought me more efficient ways. I strongly agree about disabling the "OPEN HUD WITH MOUSE" setting and I was hoping that this would be addressed in futrure updates, in a way that i don't need to disable it for every single vehicle, that would be my only suggestion regarding the options menu. I look forward to more advanced courseplay tutorals

Very comprehensive guide! thanks a lot.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Glad it was helpful! 👍

[@Robert-pl1gd]

Great video.But you forgot to mention one thing in course play. If you go to the harvester vehicle settings , you can tell the harvester to automatically offload to the nearest grain cart instead of you going to the harvester

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I cover that in a different vid, it's also a very slow way of doing it because the harvester is spending a lot of time not harvesting.

[@dotRB]

Actually I've a field where the manual row direction is needed if no headlands are used. It's an trapezoid field. And course play auto select the rows direction with an angle. When it goes up or down the rows on the sides, initially it will hit nothing, but as the tool go more and more off the field it will hit trees as eventually ±5-10% of the tool is outside the field. Solved it with headlands. But its only needed for this slight offset angle. There is enough space to turn around for the rows.

[@Shiftry87]

If any1 is wondering why this course generation screen dosent looks like yours may do thats becouse u can set Courseplay in 2 modes and hes is set to Expert mode here. If u go into courseplay settings that would be the tab with the 2 gears there should be a setting called Expert mode that u can activate or deactivate. If u have this activated like in this video it gives u some extra things that u can tweak like the Headland overlap %value for example. U dont need to use expert mode by any means but if u wanna tweek some things its there for u.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Thanks for pointing that out Shiftry, I'd forgotten it's been in that mode for so long! Appreciate you pointing it out, thank you 👍

[@neilharbott8394]

Row skips also useful on small equipment behind a large (wide turn radius) tractor - ie JD 8R with a 3m seeder. Skipping rows will make for a smooth single action turn rather than fwd/rev adjustments to line up. I've also seen this real life using a baler to bale alternate rows, so as not to stress the baler hitch.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yeah good call Neil!

another place you can get caught with your work width is if you have 2 mowers. seems to detect your front mower as default instead of the widest.

[@petergielen5905]

thx for sharing

[@gameinsane8984]

It’s a hit or a miss. When it works it is smart and works well but when it doesn’t work which is most of the time it’s more hassle than what it’s worth I only really use it for transporting or harvesting so I can auto unload the combine the ai with the trailer usually gets the combine stuck and both the workers just keep driving straight getting even more stuck and 9 times out of 10 the drivers on the road get blocked by invisible obstacles they say they are blocked when there not there in the middle of the road

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

In my experience 99% of the time when it doesn’t work it’s because I’ve not set it up properly

[@Driver-zw9sy]

hello mr fsg...gps is very good but very expensive for farmers in holland...i am from holland..fields here are small no big fields and gps cost between 14000 euro and 19000 euro lot of money if you no need this...but in germany wheremy sister is living in nedersachsen that is necessary because the fields there they are much bigger then in holland...i was try to play this with gps and courseplay..its not so easy to hadle it...most time i use controller not mouse...i play now on pc..soon go play on fs 25 i see good things there...ok have nice day regards driver 1956 from holland...

You need to create a folder to save it in, I create folders with the field numbers then it should give you the save option

[@mrdriver511]

You should mention the option for the advanced course generator before you start to explain the course generator, because when you install course generator it start with the basic options and beginners going to be confused when they open up the menu

courseplay for me makes this game playable........ let alone fun. fs 17 was amazing with a 4x map. courseplay running 12+ machines at once. i seen vids of 40+ at once. my pc would of melted doing that lol. sadly 19 was shit for courseplay. and as u stated its only been now that its stable in 22... im interested to see what courseplay has to offer for fs 22. its first farmsim game i wanted a full refund of after purchase. i realy wish games would have free trials 2-3 days or something.

Hi, I`ve looked around in the comments in most of your CP toutorials for answers on whats the best way to countinue a course in a undone field? I tried CP for th first time last night and when I restarted the game today I could`t quit find the best way to restart the courses already in progress...

The biggest issue I am running into with cp is collisions. My combines like to slam into each other when passing 😂. Other than that, it’s been a game changer for me.

still don't understand difference between racetrack and spiral. one of the CP options, you can restrict the tractor from leaving the field to do turn arounds....when you have hedges.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes I leave the restrict to field option set to 9on all the time

[@runner5ldh]

Racetrack is a combination of spiral and using lands. It’s hard to see on a small field but on a really big field it will split it into sections with lands and then spiral around each section. Spiral does the whole field at one time.

[@wizznall]

awesome tutorials mate, but i have a question for you i have the same version of cp and i have the version number show up under the ingame time at the top right corner of the screen. this being that it covers up the amount i get payed when delivering thing to the sale points how do i disable this? hope you understand my question

[@OR0Z]

7 minutes in you’re talking about headlands… This is the only part that confuses me because I thought a Headland is a turning point for farming machinery ? Therefor in this case it’s 2…? Please enlighten me

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

It is the turning point for machinery, but in most cases it's also part of the field, so is still included as part of the course. In the US they are referred to as End Rows

[@OR0Z]

Excellent, Thank you 👍🏻 I’m not as stupid as my Mrs thinks 😂😂😂 While I’ve got your attention would you mind answering a CP query for me please? I did a rectangular field and chose a clockwise spiral pattern to keep the pipe on the left side for easy transfer… It was great for the 1st 2 laps but on the 3rd it decided to go up & down for the remainder of the field. Does CP just decide this?? And why do farmers IRL always go up n down instead of Spiral which is the most efficient route?? Because it’s a waste of fuel & time IMO?

[@t0et0e]

Awesome as ever! Is there a setting to disable inputs appearing in the help window? CP is dominating every input up there.
