Simple feature that is never mentioned

[PicanteActor]

I see a lot of really good ideas that increase realism. (For example multi terrain angle, seasons, manure system etc.) But something I have never seen mentioned is sectional control for boom-sprays, over application of chemicals is quite a real problem in real life thus the need for sectional shutoff is important, some companies like capstan even take a it step further with individual nozzle control.

There is a really good mod I use for fs19 to simulate sections (even though it requires a number of complicated steps to retrofit onto existing mods)

Just wondering if anyone else feels this would be a good addition to the next game or if I am on my own?

Precision Farming does this, I believe. It also controls application rates with Manure and Lime.

I just tested it because precision farming dlc sounds the perfect home for my idea but alas no boomspray shutting off sections. But I feel you are onto something, maybe I will see true sectional control in the part 2 of precision farming

I'm hoping that precision farming gets upgraded to work like the section control mod. You can use the mod alongside precision farming though occasionally it doesn't work visually and the animations are still present when the sections are shut off most of the time it works fine.

There is a section control mod that adds section control, I believe to all sprayers. It doesn’t work with precision farming, which I find essential so I haven’t used it for quite awhile.

Edit: I see Norfolk farmer mentioned the same thing

Give the latest version a go as you can use it with PF

that mod is awesome. and a must have for me

PF doesn’t show sections shutting off, but on Auto application won’t apply anything to stuff that’s already where it should be.

Works fine for me most of the time, are you using a sprayer which has got section control added to it?

Spreaders.

And also should add I referring to fertilizer not herbicide.

I confused it with variable spray rate which i also used to rely heavily on. THAT doesn’t work with PF, right? I usually try to play as realistically as I can, but couldn’t handle the insane spread rate(is that even a word!?) for lime, so I cheated with variable spray rate to make it a bit more manageable, but with PF it no longer worked so I took it out and grind my teeth when spreading lime now (for what feels like 30 seconds before I have to refill! @@*#!)

Correct PF and VR doesn’t work together.

That explains it the section control mod is for sprayers, in the zip file it comes with a modded Hardi mega. If you only use a sprayer for applying herbicide then you should have know issues using it with PF.
There are a few sprayers on the modhub setup for it including the JD self propelled one.

PF and SC work fine for me on Sprayers
VR causes problems I’ve heard though
