This is extremely easy for a newbie to follow. Very well done tutorial of the basics of autodrive.

[@thorstensplett4811]

This is gold! I really appreciate you explaining things click-by-click for us newcomers. I'm so looking forward to the next installments. I allowed AD to generate a network in Elmcreek but ran into a couple of spots with AD not being able to calculate a route along the road where the debris crusher is. Couldn't move past an existing node to the next node right on that road - no hill, no collision. I deleted those nodes and created new ones, but it still wouldn't move past that spot. If I manually moved the tractor past that node to the next one, it carried on fine. I started Elmcreek again without the generated network, created my own nodes along that road, and everything worked as it should. I don't know why it got stuck on the generated nodes there.

[@botarzoltan3206]

Usually it gets bumped in some collision in the way so it stops the helper just before those. Try raising the collision height in the settings menu accessed by the cog icon, or turn it off all together.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Thanks for the kind words Thorsten, yes I think the course generation perhaps doesn't grab every point on the traffic splines leading to some incomplete courses which is unfortunate

[@jimmelvin5556]

Awesome video. Love the idea of using the scroll wheel to make curves. That will make intersection look more normal. I was on the Erlangrat (sp?) map, Using the auto generated courses, I was trying to go from the starter farm to the dealership but ran into the problem of not finding the points. I found one connection that was not connected but had two dots stacked so it looked normal. It still was not working but I rn out of time before having to run off to work. Edit: I am experiencing issues with AutoDrive not finding target location when using the auto generated courses from the traffic splines and found that, for me anyway, that at intersection with multiple connections, there are multiple balls that are stacked and not connected.

[@Ivellios23]

Thank you for this. I've used CoursePlay for making courses in '15 & '17 but never played '19. Not knowing how to, let alone needed to, connect/complete courses caused me to be frustrated with it. As CP in 15 & 17 would automatically do that on its own. As coming from 17, it basically looks like CP was simply split into 2 mods with CP specializing in fielswork, and AD for transporting.

[@troyp467]

I regret ignoring this mod in 19. I never saw the point over courseplay but after watching this I'm definitely going to give it a shot, it looks pretty slick.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I’ve found a combination of the two is ideal 👍

[@SuperBossen]

Thanks a lot for this very informative video Farm Guy! I am new to FS so I have a lot to catch up with I see. 🤓 You explained Auto Drive so even I can understand it and in a tempo that I can follow. I really look forward to part 2! I wonder if autodrive can be used to make field work i.e. Harwesting and if yes, can you make a video about it also?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Thanks Bossen, it can’t do field work as such but can run grain certs or silage trailers for you, I will be doing a video on this at some point for sure

​@@TheFarmSimGuy Dundee lad here :) I did install it today but, I didn't see any of the predefined traffic nodes on the Elmcreek map or get the option to add them as shown in your vid. Not sure if it's because I installed to server as opposed to single player. Again, thanks for such an informative vid. I'm getting on in years so appreciate the slower and more comprehensive approach to your tutorials.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

@@scottishrebels Ah yeah that'll be it, I think that option only works on Single player, but what you can do is start a single player game, set up your autodrive courses, then convert it to a multiplayer game

[@scottishrebels]

@@TheFarmSimGuy That's certainly an idea worth considering. Do you think it worthwhile just to build up the routes from scratch and do it on an as we go basis? I'm just wondering if keeping it clean will help prevent potential for error (Our online farm is in its infancy at this stage). Also, have you done a tutorial for collecting from harvesters or are you using courseplay for that aspect of the game? They are both mods we would like to get to know more about and implement in our game. Any other QOL mods that you would recommend highly?

[@scottishrebels]

Found the vid. Is it still applicable to FS22?

Great introduction to Autodrive FS22, should be watched by all that want to use the MOD

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Cheers Mark, I appreciate it 👍

[@kieranleopold9115]

This mod used to intimidate me, but the more you play with it the easier it gets. I will say the number one issue I experience is the dreaded "cannot find" error when you think you've set up a course but the Auto Drive doesn't recognize it. The typical issue usually has to do with how I've linked splines together. Somewhere a 1-way course was connected backwards, or offset (like a weird zig-zag) to the wrong trunk line. If you cannot get a new spline to work just check where it links in to your trunk lines and make sure they're connected right. Also, on one-way courses it matters which node you click first when linking them to splines. It took me a while to realize you connect splines in the direction of traffic, not the direction you're looking, necessarily. Finally: I just want to say FSG's videos for FS19 were the sole reason I felt confident enough to play with this mod. Thank you for your excellent content!

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Excellent tips, thanks Kieran! and thanks for the kind words

[@Marcompam]

you always click to connect as if it was 1st node "from" and 2nd node "to". took me a while to realize that also when i started using autodrive, but thats the logic behind it. also, as i mentioned in another comment to another user, if you use the auto generated route, check the crossings properly as autodrive might create duplicated nodes and connections, and sometimes forgets to connect some nodes to the network, creating many of those "cannot find" or "cannot drive to" errors.

Great work FSG just one thing i have noticed you did this with AD2.0.0.0 which has changed it is now at 2.0.0.2 and the elm creek map has a lot of missing corners for me. Love this mod one of the most underestemated mods in the game

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

This is very useful information. I love the scroll function. One problem I’m having is my tractor will not drive a consistent speed and in some points it literally comes to a crawl and almost stops for no reason that I can see.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes that does seem to sometimes happen, try changing your look ahead distance in the menus to higher than 5m. I think what it's doing is when there are a lot of nodes to calculate (a corner for eg) it does slow down quite a lot.

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

@@TheFarmSimGuy I’ll give that a try Ty

[@Marcompam]

@@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566 if you use the automatic route creation, check on some crossings as it sometimes creates multiple nods, or even routes, for the same direction, and sometimes dont connect some of those nodes. that might make the autodrive think more than it should and slows down the vehicle before he takes the decision of what route to take. Also in options, there is a section related to ground collicions, help tooltip says default values should be 2.0, but it always starts at 1.25 instead. i have noticed that on roads with inclines autodrive will slow down thinking that it will collide with the road itself, raising that value helped and they dont slow down as much.

[@Marcompam]

@@TheFarmSimGuy as the scroll feature is very handy, i still prefer to do the turns manually by driving the vehicle itself. that way i try to make sure one vehicle doesnt hit the other. in your video we could see the 2 tractors stuck with each other and then you moved the nodes to fix it, i always do that manually recording lol.

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

@@Marcompam thanks I think I set up the route with auto connect and the part that it seems to struggle is on a slight incline. Is there a way to erase everything and start over? My course is on no man’s land and other than the road that is outside the map there’s no built in nodes.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes you can, I do it a lot, just make sure your combine is set to the same field waypoint as the auger wagon on Autodrive

[@baconwithagalaxy]

I don't quite get the saving part. The Elm Creek course came with lots of fractured points (connections to different roads were severed). I fixed it up and added some of my own. At one point, I decided to load in the "saved course" (I save the course as "ElmCreek 1" every time I modify it), and it instantly messed EVERYTHING up; everything was thrown out of calibration. I loaded the savegame again and it was back to normal. What I don't get is what do you do with saving routes (moreover, I don't get what a "route" is defined as in this sense). Do I have to save it every time I make a change to the map routes? Or is it like courseplay where saving a "route" in this sense is saving an already-calculated job? Also, why does it default to "route 1". What throws me off is that you can save multiple routes. Why have multiple routes and not add on to the main branch? I can't find any good explanations so far and I'm lost.

Great video! Question for you, I‘m having an issue of the tractor slowing down at every point, it never accelerated past like 6 mph since it almost stops at every single point, how do you setup how fast the tractor should drive down the road?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

There are a couple of icons on the HUD with numbers on them if you mouse over them and use your scroll wheel you can adjust the speed, one is for road and one is for fields, alternatively you can go into the menus and turn on advanced settings and adjust the vehicle speeds in there, hope that helps 👍

[@Dawkins921]

@@TheFarmSimGuy thank you for the fast reply! I had both icons on the hud maxed out to top speed. I was thinking maybe it was an error in my recording so I was gonna delete it and redo the course but I didn’t know about the advanced settings so I look def look into that first. THANK YOU!

@@TheFarmSimGuy So the problem ended up being that i had collision detection ON all the time so that was causing it to essentially stop at every marker and quickly check it wasnt gonna hit before continuing, disabled that and its driving along normally

Very helpful. Thank you. Just one question. This current bug we have that deletes key bindings has left me with no key mapping at all for autodrive.. As I hadnt been using it I dont have a backup. Any clever ideas on how I can force AD to reestablish its default bindings?

Would this work to set up a route to fill up water tank in a pond and go back filling the greenhouses with water?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

I think you would need something with a defined trigger to fill from, but it’s worth a try

[@miguelix9585]

If I want is for example for mining Maps can I make a point where the tractor maintain stopped until i load it up with an excavator??

Hi, yes that would be a standard load point, and it will wait until it detects the trailer is full before leaving 👍

If you don't mind a question. I just downloaded this mod, but the scroll wheel function isn't working for me. What is the keybind function I need to set it for to click it? Also, just coming into FS22 I must say I absolutely love your tutorials for all the advanced stuff concerning these AIs with PHDs..they're so much better.

Hi Chase, have you reset any of your keybinds before? I believe it’s show HUD in the keybinds section, the AD related keybinds all start with AD 👍

What I liked with courseplay in 19 is if the AI came across each other they would actually give space to pass.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

That does happen with AD too, I just managed to put my turn radiuses too close to gether, if I'd switched look ahead to 8m instead of 5 he would have stopped sooner to let the other tractor out

[@erichsteinhausen9515]

If I do the same you do around the 14 minute mark, the first little loop, I always get something like "driver can't reach waypoint xyz" and nothing else happens. Set up a very similar little loop, it's one way and correctly connected. But I can't get it to work for me.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Sometimes if your turns are too tight it can have an impact, might be worth checking it is fully connected

[@erichsteinhausen9515]

@@TheFarmSimGuy Will definitely try around a little more when I find the time, would really like to get it to work. Will definitely keep in mind to keep the turns wider in the future, as there where actually a few quite tight ones - the arrows however indicated that everything was connected properly.

[@DarkDMD]

Hey @the FamrSim Guy - is there any way to have autodrive go to a location, dump the cargo and then return from that location all in one job? I can't seem to figure that out.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes indeed there is, you can scroll through the different options to choose different course types. Possibly something for a video in the future

[@DarkDMD]

@@TheFarmSimGuy Darn it, I can't seem to figure out how! Each one just looks like it can go there, or go there to dump, or go pick something up and then go to dump, but nothing seems to have an option to come back after you dump. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help.

[@simon7109100]

Can it find the nearest waypoint automatically? Like if you are on a field harvesting and you want to send a load to your silo, can it find the road without help?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes Simon, great question! - I talked about the red line on the tractor that's always searching for the nearest node, so it should always take you from wherever you are back to the course. In practise this can cause issues, especially if you are a long way from the course, as it will always head to the node that is the closest, so that might be through a lake or a forest or fence, so bear that in mind. It's sometimes good to set up a waypoint at field entrances and use that as a go to point if you are in a field. (I'll cover more about this in the upcoming combine unload course tutorial) 👍

I accidently deleted some of the waypoints on the generated map any way to get them back or reset the map to default?

Just click on the previous point then the next on after the one you deleted and it should relink them, if you’ve removed a larger section drive the route recording new waypoints and then reconnect each end to the existing course 👍

so i have a quick question, it will show me the message at the beginning of a new safe but when i press yes it doesnt create a network, is that because the modded map im using not having the right roads or is there a different thing?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

If there is no traffic on the map, it won’t create a network, the modder must put traffic splines in for it to work

[@redstoneking4677]

Ah i see, there indeed wasnt any traffic on the map so i guess that was why it didnt create anything, still fun to creat my own routes with tho, and thanks to your great guides i think ill be able to get even more out of it

[@Farmer_El]

I really wish the Courseplay MODS had not tried integrating this into CP. CP for FS19 refill courses were simple to create. Just record yourself driving to the refill point and then back to the field. Autodrive isn't as simple and complicates things too much.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Courseplay and Autodrive integrated with each other in FS19 too. And Autodrive is a lot less processor intensive than CP. what’s nice is we have choices and options, I think the two working in harmony is the best solution for me and can work incredibly smoothly 👍
