Tramline Pilot V1.0

Tramline Pilot V1.0

Tramline Pilot plans the tramlines for every field, marks them in the field and DRIVES, TURNS and SPRAYS/SPREADS on them- and ONLY on them. No more driving over crop. Even when refilling the worker will drive back round on the tramlines to exit the field and re enter.
Based on Control Traffic Farming, store the same tramlines and drive on year after year. Replacement for Precision Farming tramlines (PF not required). Connects with Autodrive to refill.

Install: put FS25_TramlineSystem.zip in Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/mods, then tick Tramline Pilot in the mod list when you load your savegame.

1. Stand on the field and press Right Ctrl+M.
2. Set Tramline spacing to your boom width/spreading width.
3. Pick a Direction and the number of Headland passes.
4. Press Enter to generate the tramlines.
5. Fill your sprayer and drive onto the amber headland tramline.
6. When the green Start here flag shows, press Alt+T.
7. Press Alt+T or Alt+Q to stop.

Setting up a field
Direction: longest edge, vehicle heading, A – B points (Alt+1, Alt+2), an angle, or as stored.
Tramline spacing: your boom width (6-60 m).
Headland passes: 0-4 tramlines round the field edge.
Worker turns: along the headland tramline, or loops where they fit.
Turn radius: your sprayer’s turning circle (4-15 m).
Wheel track width: the distance between your sprayer’s wheel centres (1.50-4.00 m). The width of the machine you are sitting in is marked “your vehicle”. 2m is a good start.
Headland corners: round, or back into corners (self-propelled and mounted sprayers).
Spray headland: first, last or skip.
Work speed / Turn speed: for spraying, and for turns.
Refill with AutoDrive: on or off.
Create tramlines in crop: no, wheel tracks or a full lane.
Show lines: off, this field or all fields.
Precision Farming tramlines: on, off on tramline fields, or off everywhere.
Buttons: Enter generates, Space opens Saved wheelings, Clear field deletes the layout, Esc goes back.

Seeing your tramlines
Press Alt+4 to show or hide the lines.
White lines are the main tramlines; amber lines are the headland tramlines.
A green line shows where the worker sprays next; blue shows where it drives with the boom off.
A green flag marks where the course starts and a chequered flag where it finishes.
Last sprayed here marks where an unfinished job stopped.
Field gate marks where AutoDrive takes over for a refill.

Spraying with the AI worker
1. Drive onto a tramline: the headland tramline for a new job, or a main tramline to start from there.
2. Press Alt+T. The worker sprays the field and never leaves the tramlines.
3. Press Alt+T or Alt+Q to stop. Alt+Q also works from outside the vehicle.
4. To carry on, press Alt+T again:
◦ On the spot where it stopped, it carries on.
◦ Anywhere else, choose Drive back there, Carry on from here or New job.

With Back into corners, the sprayer reverses into sharp headland corners so none are missed (not trailed sprayers).
An unfinished job is kept when you save, so you can carry on another day.

Refilling with AutoDrive
Set it up once per field:
1. In AutoDrive, put a marker at the field edge: the field gate.
2. Set that marker as the sprayer’s AutoDrive target.
3. Set your refill point as the sprayer’s 2nd target.
4. In the menu, set Refill with AutoDrive to On.

When the tank runs empty:
1. The worker folds up and drives on the tramlines to the gate.
2. AutoDrive takes it to refill and brings it back.
3. The worker drives back to where it ran out and carries on.
If AutoDrive is stopped on the way, start AutoDrive again or press Alt+T on the field.

Saved wheelings
1. Every layout is saved when you press Generate.
2. Next season, open the menu on the field and press Space (Saved wheelings).
3. Pick the one you want, then press Generate.

Saved wheelings work in every savegame on the same map.

Tramlines in the crop and Precision Farming
Create tramlines in crop: choose Wheel tracks (two tracks 2 m apart) or Full lane (3 m), then press Generate. The crop is removed along the tramlines straight away.
Precision Farming tramlines: choose Off on tramline fields or Off everywhere, so Precision Farming’s seeders don’t make their own tramlines.

Keys
Right Ctrl+M: setup menu
Alt+T: start or stop the worker
Alt+Q: stop the worker
Alt+4: show or hide the lines
Alt+1 / Alt+2: set points A and B
Handy console commands: tlNewJob forgets an unfinished job, tlRefill refills now, tlPaint creates the tramlines in the crop, tlWheelings / tlLoad / tlSave handle saved wheelings.

If something goes wrong
“Drive onto the headland tramline”: you are not on a tramline; drive to the amber marker.
It won’t back into corners: it needs a self-propelled or mounted sprayer, a headland pass and Back into corners.
Refill doesn’t start: check the AutoDrive target is a marker at the field edge and the 2nd target is the refill point.
The unfinished job has gone: it is dropped when you generate a different layout.
No lines: press Alt+4.
It can’t follow the corners: set Turn radius to your sprayer’s turning circle.
Gaps in the wheel tracks: press Generate again with Create tramlines in crop set to Wheel tracks.
