Description

FS17 AIVehicleExtension v1.0.0.9

Status

Minimum patch level is Farming Simulator 2017 patch 1.3.1, but patch 1.4 is supported as well. I only test it with patch 1.4.4.

 

New User Interface

The idea behind the new user interface is to move as many settings as possible into new settings dialog. This dialog uses standard elements. Only those options needed for visualization or intermediate action are still available in the head up display (HUD).

 

New Input Binding

I changed the input binding. Main reason is that keys 5 and 6 are used for the radio. This is the new setting:

  • H: Start or stop the hired worker
  • Left shift + H: Open the new settings dialog
  • Left control + H: Open the head up display
  • Left alt. + H: Enable or disable automatic steering
  • Left alt. + V: Raise or lower all tools
  • Left alt. + 6: Swap side

 

Motivation

I do not like maps with rectangular fields. But driving a combine harvester plus the tractor with trailer is a bit tedious in SP mode.

 

Description

The Mod is installed easily in the mod folder. It is automatically added in all AIVehicles. Thus the combine threshes automatically in circles around the field.

 

How to

The AutoCombine Hud is opened with the key 5. The helper starts normally using the H key. Warning: You must turn on the alternative helper only in Hud. The button is in the 2nd Row far left. Is there a quadrilateral, then only the normal helper is on.

 

Developer version

Please be aware you’re using a developer version, which may and will contain errors, bugs, mistakes and unfinished code.

You have been warned.

If you’re still ok with this, please remember to post possible issues that you find in the developer version. That’s the only way we can find sources of error and fix them. Be as specific as possible:

  • tell the version number
  • only use the vehicles necessary, not 10 other ones at a time
  • which vehicles are involved, what is the intended action?
  • Post! The! Log! to Gist or PasteBin
