Hi there!

I forwarded this to the devs but keep in mind that it will most likely not be fixed as this is a minor thing.

This issue may be considered minor, but its also an easy fix. In one of my past posts, I mentioned what the issue was.

[ensot]

I agree that it is a minor bug, but it's really annoying. Plus it is a new flagship harvester in FS19 and it has this annoying bug...

[Matias1811]

I hope it is really solved, since it is the brand that is promoting the game

[saracaen]

I wouldn't count on it. They would much rather spend time making paid content instead.

Please stop posting the same thing across various bug reports or elsewhere in the forum.

Minor thing? Do you really mean that Lethian? I mean "you"... one of the most understanding and helpful Giants member of all times.

That header with that position scrapes the ground all over the place because you attach a 45ft header to it not a 25ft one. That tiny little angle makes all the difference. And this has been mentioned, posted, discussed countless times over the past months even before the release of 1.2.

It is really hard to believe you are willing to just neglect this. I don't know what else to say. Thank you

I'm not neglecting it, I'm just mirroring the things I get told I did open up a bug report and assigned it when I posted my first message so now it's in the hands of the devs and production if they can spare some resources on fixing it. All I can do is wait until I get an answer and I will of course update you asap.

And thanks for the kind words btw

Hate to give this more attention... But...

Fixing a bug like this might have unintended consequences. It might break all save games where these two items are attached. I'd rather live with it in this state than have my average broken over a cosmetic issue in a corner that I never look at.


Vehicles and attachments are stored at 3D coordinates in your save like so:
This is my harvester::

Code: Select all

<vehicle id="2" modName="FS19_CM_IDEAL" filename="$moddir$FS19_CM_IDEAL/IDEAL9.xml" isAbsolute="true" age="6.000000" price="490010.000000" farmId="1" propertyState="1" operatingTime="210603.843750">
        <component1 position="-393.6505 39.6524 975.5330" rotation="-2.1141 1.5928 1.7584"/>
        <component2 position="-393.7026 40.3586 974.4576" rotation="-1.8171 1.4871 1.5897"/>

This is the header:

Code: Select all

<vehicle id="3" modName="FS19_3162_TerraFlex_Draper_45FT_by_Kalijostro" filename="$moddir$FS19_3162_TerraFlex_Draper_45FT_by_Kalijostro/draper3162.xml" isAbsolute="true" age="6.000000" price="90000.000000" farmId="1" propertyState="1" operatingTime="179542.171875">
        <component1 position="-393.4922 40.9352 982.7009" rotation="-14.7085 1.5932 1.7585"/>
        <component2 position="-389.0831 41.6087 981.2164" rotation="91.8439 -30.2627 90.8280"/>
        <component3 position="-392.1251 41.6275 981.1935" rotation="-120.0834 -1.6199 -177.5047"/>
        

Later on in the file it shows these two are attached:

Code: Select all

    <attachments rootVehicleId="2">
        <attachment attachmentId="3" inputJointDescIndex="1" jointIndex="1" moveDown="false"/>
    </attachments>

You want them to change the distance between the two items even though your savegame has that distance set. Who know what kind of side effects that will have.

• Maybe they'll just jump a bit and it'll all be fine.
• Maybe they'll get thrown halfway through a shed wall and have to be sold since there are too many other icons on the map for you to reset them (I've had this happen)
• Maybe it'll just crash
• Maybe cause other unknown things to happen.

You don't know, Giants can't know all the situations that are happening in savegames, so this is kinda scary. So, to fix this they might have to break your save game. If I were a FS dev I'd say "NOPE!"

There is no way that Giants could audit your save and fix it before hand, and it might work, but i'd be upset with giants if they broke my save over a cosmetic issue in a corner that I never look at.

Its fixable, yes, but no need to rage that they're not fixing it.

[MAurUS]

The bug will be fixed with the next patch.

[Alagos]

Perfect

Any chance to get the clipping issue with grain doors closed fixed, as explained here as well?
