Can't Enable Straw Swath

Post by Scrooge »

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: PC
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: New Holland TX 32, Massey Ferguson Activa, probably others
- Issue: Enable Straw Swath doesn't work after harvesting canola or soybeans
- Single- or Multiplayer: single
- Steps to reproduce:

FS19 1.7.1.0

* start a new game with all mods disabled
* grow wheat and canola or soybeans
* (optional) verify that Enable Straw Swath works normally with wheat
* harvest some canola or soybeans
* empty the harvester
* try to Enable Straw Swath and harvest wheat

- Does it happen on a standard map without mods - yes, Ravenport, New Farmer mode
- Which vehicles & machines are involved: Harvesters. I've only tested the starting harvester (New Holland TX 32) and the Massey Ferguson Activa.

FS15 had what appears to be the same bug. My version of FS17 never had this problem.

Only wheat, oat, and barley give straw in default game configuration.

There are mods that add it for other crops.

Right. My problem is that after using a harvester for a non straw producing crop, when I switch back to wheat, oats, or barlery, I no longer get straw.

This might sound silly but did you try starting the combine in the new crop and then enabling the straw swath? Otherwise the combine is still stuck in soybean/canola mode

I've had that happen before - usually dropping the header then re-attaching it will clear the problem. No idea what causes it but I suspect a mod is doing it because it's happened on several mapsand in single and multi player.
