improvment Request for unloding Forage Harvester #562

Closed

Description

@ypsilonn

Thanks for the mod, it's amazing how much you can automate with it. But I do have one improvement request, if possible.

The harvester fills the trailer from front to back. However, the unloader starts with the back of the trailer next to the harvester and then falls back as the trailer fills up (see pictures).

This becomes a problem if you have a longer trailer or a shorter unloading pipe on the harvester, as the back of the trailer falls outside the unloading pipe's reach, causing the harvester (with Courseplay and Giants helpers) to stop.

Shouldn't it start with the front of the trailer next to the harvester and then, as it fills up, move forward and bring the back of the trailer next to the harvester?

    Hello @ypsilonn,

    We had this already in FS19, but it was not working sustainable and therefor was removed.
    Here is a new approach.
    Please test and give feedback if working better!

    i think that works great now its fills the tailer to a 100% without much trouble.
    i think it can stay this way.
    but if you want do opptimis it more. i think the trailer could be overal 2-3m more forword if it dos not couses other problems
