Follower slows down when in front of my vehicle. #44

Hi, so this is kinda hard to explain but ill try to make it as clear as possible. When im running a chopper(forage harvester) I turn on follow me on a tractor with a trailer so it comes driving next to the chopper. The problem however is, when I adjust distance to Lets say 5-10 meter in front to make the trailer drive next to the pipe, the tractor slows down when it gets in front of the chopper. No matter how many meters I adjust it, when I drive full speed the tracor wont go further than the chopper. This is annoying because the pipe has to blow the silage An unnecessary long way, I want to let the trailer drive next to the pipe and the tractor a bit in front of the chopper. Plz let me know if you understand what I mean and if you can do something about this. If you don't get it I'll try to post some pictures to explain. Greetings, Stewoe

Try to turn off 'collision detection'.

I suspect that the tractor is detecting the pipe, and when 'collision detection' is on (default), the tractor won't go further.

What you see visually in the game, is not the same as what the game-engine uses for 'collision boxes'. The 'collision boxes' are in some cases a bit taller than the tractor, and therefore "hits" objects much earlier, than what would happen in the real world.

Ok thanks for your reply, I noticed that it also might have something to do with the acceleration of the tractor I use. Either way, I don't think it is a bug in the mod. Greetings, Stewoe

I've been using Follow Me to help with normal Combine Harvesting, driving an Auger Wagon next to the Combine. I've usually been able to do this by setting the Tractor to drive ahead of the Combine by about 15 and offset by about 11. I've had the Tractor Cruise Control Set to 20 and it was working okay.

However after this week's update by Giants to Game Version 1.6, I can't get this to work at all. The Tractor now will not drive beside or even slightly ahead of the harvester, meaning the pipe can't unload into the wagon. The tractor looks like it keeps accelerating and braking, like it's stuttering or the driver seems scared to overtake the harvester. I've tried turning off the Collision Detection and it makes no difference, the guy still behaves the same. Also something else weird that happens now if the Follow Me Driver does become blocked by an object or another vehicle and we do get the message that Helper Blah Blah is blocked by an Object, when we go to the Vehicle and stop the Follow Me Helper, move the vehicle and reposition it with the the vehicle it was supposed to be following and try to activate the Follow Me again, it just flashes breifly on screen that Helper is Still Blocked by an Object and won't actually restart Follow Me. Basically that Vehicle becomes unable to use Follow Me until the game is restarted, or if playing Multiplayer until the Server is restarted.
