Going off topic have you given autodrive ago, I have only recently tried it out and it is fantastic for transport tasks.
I tried a while back. I understand it's been updated since. I understand the idea, but I am just so used to the CP way that making AD do what I want it to do seems a bit bewildering to me.norfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 12:50 pmGoing off topic have you given autodrive ago, I have only recently tried it out and it is fantastic for transport tasks.
Thanks. I'll check it out.norfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 3:01 pm I thought the same but I found some routes people had setup and shared for a few maps once I understood how it works it's now in my must have mods. The Farm Sim Guy has some good tutorials for it.
As far as transport or Road networks go, i would definately say Autodrive is much simpler and Easy to work with. I used to do it with CP as Well, until I tried AD and ‘cracked the code’theSeb wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 3:07 pmThanks.

You may already be aware but you can also limit the top speed for the vehicle in the on screen menu for whenever it's moving from memory second button in from the right on the bottom row move the cursor over it the use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease.Doc3d wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:01 pm As far as transport or Road networks go, i would definately say Autodrive is much simpler and Easy to work with.

The only thing that bothers me it that you can’t set up a ‘use speed from recording’ function, so sometimes the default AD drives way too fast. You can make it slow down more in corners tho, so now it’s ok again.
I am not criticising or anything, It is just that I tried this mod out when it first came out and found it very confusing for what it is.norfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 12:50 pm

Same here. I didn't dare venture into AutoDrive because it seemed like CP could do the same without me learning much more. But Courseplay has so much to catch up on to compete with AutoDrive for transporting. I use CP for field work, and AutoDrive for grain carting/transportingnorfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 3:01 pm I thought the same but I found some routes people had setup and shared for a few maps once I understood how it works it's now in my must have mods.

Check out the farm sim guy on YouTube and then have a look for a map which someone has created routes for already and give it a go once you've seen how the routes are created it makes it easier to understand. I got to grips with it on Flint Hills as there is a very good network setup for it.j_maybury wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:47 pmI am not criticising or anything, It is just that I tried this mod out when it first came out and found it very confusing for what it is.norfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 12:50 pm

I thought that CP did a far better job at the time. But I have heard others raving about it, so is there something I am missing?
What is it that makes it better to use than CP?
I have been wondering if I should give it another try, but I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to fathom how it works if it is overly complicated.
Is there a good tutorial in English for this mod?
I'd say the developers of each both understand their own strengths and weaknesses as they seem to be working alongside each other rather than competing.Dairydeere wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 4:49 pm

Yes, I noticed on one tutorial that he went into CP advanced settings and there was an AutoRoute function that tells it to go and pickup the AutoRoute line. or something along those lines my short term memory is not so good these days.norfolk farmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 5:34 pm
