CP with the big buds...
I'm currently on Lone Oak, enjoyed it but I'm getting bored with it. Since I love a map with big fields, I thought about doing welkers farm and using the big buds. My question is does CP and Big Buds do well together? On Lone Oak, I tried using CP on one of the big Challenger tractors, the one that maneuvers like big buds and it never would go the top working speed, and it was moving side to side all over the field.
Re: CP with the big buds...
Depends on how the steering has been configured within the vehicles xml configurations. Some of the base game articulated vehicles and some modded ones have some real issues when handed over to workers either the in game ones or ones from mods like Courseplay, Follow Me etc. It's not something that is easy to fix and believe me the courseplay developers have tried, but it's an issue with the vehicles that needs correcting. I can't say I noticed any issues with the Big Buds when I used them on Estanica Lapacho last year with a much older version of Courseplay, that's probably about 200 versions behind and out of date now. So Id say give it a shot. Not like Big Buds are incredibly quick machines, so even if they do struggle to get to top speed it's probably not as noticeable on them.

I know they work on Welker (just not with the roll over plows for some reason), not on Alberta (although I haven't tried the updated version yet). I am not sure about LO, I just can't get into that map.

Re: CP with the big buds...
I've got a modded plow that I've been using since launch, it unfolds like a cultivator. I will definitely give it a try. The thing about that tractor not reaching top speed, it's not that it was struggling, it would just go about 6 mph for some reason. I check CP out and the field speed was at the limit of the tool speed, I just dont know. But I will try the Big Buds. Thanks!

Re: CP with the big buds...
it is noticeable when they are constantly hammering left and right while stopping for a split second at each extreme then only get up to 3mph in between.

Re: CP with the big buds...
That right there is what I'm talking about, I thought it was 6 mph, but it might have been 3 instead. Its was aggravating to use.ThatCanadianGuy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 8:45 pmit is noticeable when they are constantly hammering left and right while stopping for a split second at each extreme then only get up to 3mph in between.
Re: CP with the big buds...
Only thing I can say is give it a try with the latest version of Courseplay. I never personally had a problem with the Big Buds in the past with early versions of Courseplay. I've not used Big Buds for a while in game as they've not been a fit for the maps I have played on since my first one. The Courseplay Devs have done a lot to change course generation, vehicle steering and manoeuvring as well as general pathfinding, so chances are they work fine still. Just seems like there are a couple of Articulated vehicles that have issues though and that's with them having badly coded steering setups and AI markers.

Re: CP with the big buds...
New CP beta now has waypoint editor so you can now adjust problem tight turns.

Re: CP with the big buds...
Waypoint location isn't the problem it was how the tractor was responding to them.

Re: CP with the big buds...
Thats why i say use the editor. Add way points and smooth turns out. Its only due to the tight turns caused by lack of way points im guessing.
Re: CP with the big buds...
The big buds have worked fine on Welker Farms with the course play variant from the in game mod hub.
Re: turning there are issues from time to time if the next point is too tight for the turning circle or if you have “turn on field” activated with too small of a headland or too big of an attachment.

Re: CP with the big buds...
It does it on a straight line which other tractors have no issue with.
Waypoint location and quantity is not the issue.

Re: CP with the big buds...
I'm trying to start up Welker and when I load into the game the first field I buy is 12 but when I do the game freezes, everytime. Anybody else experience this?
Edit: Just tried without any mods and it worked perfectly, so now I have to find the mod causing it.
Editx2: it's not freezing, but everytime I load into the field and it scans the fields it sticks on 11 for several seconds and when I buy a field it freezes for several seconds before going on.

Electsilver - my save is recently having an issue of stuttering on scanning field 11/23. It hangs there for about 30-40 seconds and then moves on. This is relatively new.

Re: CP with the big buds...
Yeah that's what mine does. I thought it was freezing and I would close the game.
