Tractors will not remain running, and yes i have it on manual start

Post by dr_vader »

After you start anything, walk about 50 - 100 m away, then go back, bet you a billigiaon $$$ it wont be running anymore

Good example, Start a new game with the default map.

Tab

your now in the default Case combine, make hu** you have manual start turned on, start the unit.
exit unit,

now tab to to other units that are close to the combine, like the one for the grain cart, or the one with the seeder, get out and walk back to the combine, its still running right.

yep, its running,

Ok, now get in the combine and tab till your as far away in the train and go back to the combine, yep, its off now.

Fix this stuff, its pi** me off. when i turn on something, i want it to stay on till i shut the dang thing off, not to shut off if i move to far away from it

Ok, i fixed it myself.

After installing the patch, my gameSettings.xml file got changed. and this line was set to 0

<motorStopTimerDuration>0</motorStopTimerDuration>

I recall the default is 30 or

<motorStopTimerDuration>30</motorStopTimerDuration>

I'm guessing that mean's in 30min it will shut off.

I changed it to

<motorStopTimerDuration>120</motorStopTimerDuration>

and its back to normal again.

Did not know that this could be changed that easily ... thank you for the tip!

Dont see how its so much of an issue. I always shut off my vehicles when I leave them anyway unless I am using them.
