With us console people now that have the ability to have someone drive a vehicle from a to B there are maps that they struggle with because the powerpoles have collision. An easy example of be a tractor with duels. I love being in the field having two combines going I am on the grain carts and there’s a guy in the super b waiting to be filled. But the struggle of the semi driver getting back to the yard or Sellpoint to dump becomes a headache
It all depends whether the map maker bothered to setup the masks to show the workers where they can drive and can't drive.

Most mappers haven't added any masks to there maps so the limited AI (which we were promised would be improved mid Fs22 and still waiting) has to work it out as best as it can.

More mappers need to be less concerned with rushing the maps out and more concerned with actually finishing them off.

What triggers me is when they are in the middle of a field and blocks the path for workers, like on Medvedin for instance, otherwise i don't mind them

No never made maps before... this is my first time.

Now now don't be bashful I've always been a big fan of your work, Meadowgrove was your finest map to date :mrgreen:

I like the power lines, I just wish that they were placed a little further from most roads, as in NA in particular and where I live in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, there is usually at least 5-10 feet from the side of the road before you see any power lines and never right beside the road.

It’s not like that in the UK though, which is why we keep driving into them

In think in the U.K they are especially placed to be right in the way whatever width of tramlines you are using :biggrin2:
