Hello,
I'm playing on the map flint hills and have combined some fields.
I would like to know how big the field now is that i created but cant find any way how to measure that.

with the old version of courseplay it was easy to measure but with the latest version it isnt possible anymore. (ore i cant find out where)
does anyone have any solution?

Willem.

perform some activity like cultivating or seeding, cover the whole field, and check the stats page.

That's about the only way I can think to do it as well.

If the field is rectangular and aligned to north/south or east/west you could use the coordinates in the minimap.
1. Drive to two diagonally opposite corners and write down the coordinates.
2. Subtract the first values of each corner and do the same for the second value.
3. Now multiply the results and you get the field area in square meters.
3. convert to whatever area unit you prefer.

Use ThundR's Community Extension pack, that will tell you how many acres an implement has covered, and it won't recount the area if you already planted or cultivated that spot, which is really cool.

With courseplay in the field work setup page press the show seed usage button or something like that and total hectares is the last one showed in the list. You may have to move the window up to see it.

It is either unit lite convert or additional field info mod, it shows how acres each piece of land is when you buy it or sell it.
