Follow Me problems

[oakchip]

Hi guys (and ladies!). I have been having problems harvesting Sugar Cane. As the harvester is a forage type, it needs to be followed with a collection vehicle. The two ways of doing this are either, run the harvester with AI helper and follow with the tractor towing the collection trailer. Or, use Follow Me. I have tried the first with only limited success, as the "AI" seems to stand for 'Artificial *$#%§*'! I have tried the second but find this very frustrating. Follow Me seems to want to turn the tractor following the harvester in towards the harvester colliding with it after a few feet? Has anybody else had this problem and solved it? Also, does anyone know of a good You Tube video instructing you on the use of 'Follow Me', as the mod comes with no instructions! Any help appreciated.

Did you set the side offset in follow me?

Thanks for reading & replying DEERE317. Yes, I did indeed. The tractor with the collecting trailer follows beside the harvester for about 6 feet, then slowly turns towards the harvester and collides with it. I have the offset to the right of the harvester.

Additionally, if you're on PC you may find CoursePlay more useful.

Yes, Dubbelklik, I use it a lot when playing FS17. As I play large maps/lots of fields as a farm manager I rely on it. FS19 is still in beta version, though, and I am trying to install the latest version. Roll on the full version 6 of Courseplay! I am not too sure though, it would help with this situation. But thanks for your reply.

Well, cp have been in beta for several years, and fs versions.
Have you tried using the swt 7 instead?

Did you set the offset wide enough. What distance did you put
