Combine XPerience

[yumi]

Hello
I've been waiting for something like this for a long time but unfortunately the mod is not without its flaws.
The combine does not always use 100% of its power and travels slower than it could drive.
In forage harvesters, the power consumption is so high that even the BigX 1180 with a 9m header drives 2 km / h.
Of course thanks for the work and good luck to you

Hello

One way to use 100% is to enter the field slowly and then accelerate. If you start at full speed you might be over 100% and so have a kind of brake effect.
I did not test forage harvester and it might be improved following what you say. I'll check this point.
Everything can be tuned.
I've just checked on MR17 and I should here multiply per 4 the basePerf for forage harvester. I'll push a fix asap.

This is the error i get when using it on Dedi server - let me know if u need aid testing it on dedi server, i would love this mod to work perfektly and might have some ideas - we play much realistic

Thanks for the log I'll check if I can fix it and certainly send you zip to test.

Unfortunately, the entire HUD is no longer displayed after starting the machine. (Claas Lexion 8900)

Hello
Have you changed the mod zip file name ?
Could you please share a log and details on your game ?

Even in medium yielding corn it seems to be hard to get up above 4mph, CIH 9240 and a 16 row head in 160 bushel/acre corn goes 4, and a 7230 with an 8 row goes 4 also.

Corn does seem to be an issue, people are commenting on it on Reddit also. I have a 625hp S790 with a 9m header and I can't get over 3mph, which seems slow for that setup.

Hello yumi
I tested the version you sent me in a private message, I think you should add a function to make the machines go to 100% power because even slow start doesn't always work.
I also changed the "coef" for the forage harvester and the 6 seems to be a good compromise
Good luck

I love any mod that makes the game more real, and this is one of the best ideas so far. But i am using the Claas 8900 Harvester and 1230 convio reel, and am finding that the speeds vary from end of the field to the next, i can also make the speed change by tipping the button that controls hired hand on and off. if the harvester is travelling at 3 kph i can tap a few times and get it back up to 6 kph. Minor glitch i am sure, but very great idea. hopefully they can work this out in updates.

Hello,

About current speed too low that is generally reported, I will make some comparison with FS17 moreRealistic that is my baseline (the code is pretty similar) and check if I missed something just looking at the numbers.
Other option would be to add a setting like: Realistic = 100% (current behavior) / 150% / 200% so the speed would be 50% or 100% more.

[kwadrat530]

I also noticed that trailed forage harvesters like the Pottinger MEX 5 use infinite power and drive at minimum speed, regardless of tractor power
In the following days, I will want to test the sugar beet harvester and the potato harvester. Good luck

A variable target engine load would be interesting. Something from 80-150%? I personally don't know any farmer that runs their machine at less than 95%.

Just throwing the idea out here but if you are running over 100% could the machine's repair state drop faster? as a penalty for pushing it beyond its limits.

[Farmercaseih]

When we harvest IRL our general rule of thumb is to go as fast as you can before the RPM drops below a certain point, it would be cool if the RPMs dropped with this mod if you go too fast and if you push to hard it will stall it

[yumi]

I made more tests on 4 combines being both in FS17 and FS19 (or pretty similar):

• Case IH 1660 + 1030 cutter (4.35m)
• Case IH 9230/8240 + 3050 cutter (12.5m)
• MF Activa 7347S + cutter (7.6m)
• NH CR 10.90 + varifeed (12.5m)

The max speed I get compared to More Realistic on FS17 are very close or equal. The main problem I see (and as a lot of people reported) is that it's often difficult to reach 100% engine load, especially if you enter the field at high speed.

So what I'm currently testing is to base computation on 120% of basePerf value instead of 100%. This means you will more easily get to 100% engine load and so feeling might be better. Of course this also means you will be able to keep engine load at 120% if you softly manage speed. This could then lead to implementing more damage when above 100% as proposed by ThatCanadianGuy and why not dropping RPM as suggested by Farmercaseih.

Hi yumi,

really like your script as it does one thing my one doesn't.....being global.
Maybe there is something interesing you could adapt to your script.
If not....just ignore my post: https://www.modding-welt.com/mods/file/ ... indicator/

I can confirm the hud dissappearing on dedi server. The server log is clean but heres my client log from the moment I leased the combine. Hud is lost at the moment when you turn the combining on, not the header. Twitch.tv CLIP (finnish lang.)

Hello,
Thx for pointing to your script. I did not know it.
I had a quick look at the code. It's a different way and I guess it does not give same result but I might look more in details for inspiration.
