i still come back to this video when i fire up the ol FS 17 to learn how to use this mod. i really appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial video.
Thank you! I love this mod. I've only used a few of the buttons. It's essential for doing any work for other farmers because you don't have to see where the fertilizer stopped to turn the tractor. AND, if you're harvesting, you can pretty much set it for hands free operation and sip coffee while you're making money. :)
Thanks, seen a few of your mod tutorials it's great, I've been using the GPS mod for a long time but never bothered to look closer at all the functions so this opened up a few more uses for me. :)
I have tested using GPS, with Auto turn enabled in missions, Works well. You have to tweak it to the equipment, for example, skipping a lane or two with narrow tools. However it DOES work. Makes those long missions great money makers. Turn it on, set up properly, go make supper.
This is my favorite mod by far. Thanks for the vid, and thanks also for the inspiration! I got encouraged to create my own tutorial (happened to be also for the GPS mod) when I watched your drive control vid.
Iain Robson I only recently got into FS and I'm really finding your vids super helpful. Thanks again! Maybe when I get used to the game I can look for a nice server to play in.
I love these videos you do, someone just explaining how to use a mod. I can see why people love this mod so much now. it's basically a hired help but you have to stay in the vehicle. Great video Iain keep up the good work!! :)
Thank you for the tutorial(s)! By far the bests of the bestest est est.......est lolz. I never understood the gps mod in FS15 either, but this covers it for both. Thank you and keep up the great work! :)
As far as I'm concerned, the steering mode does absolutely nothing. The "new" button, on the other hand, resets the GPS lane right in front of your tractor.
Helpful mod, needed to set a few keystrokes, most vids just say click here and here. One question thou, any thoughts how to use the steering wheel under basics?
If you're using realistic ground/realistic traction mod that would explain it. Most modded tractors also do not support those mods, so they basically fly over the mud.
Iain Robson ok, but I was thinking, what if I use AI extension, use a couple of headlines with it, the use the GPs mod, will it go 1 metre away from the field or the sowed part?
I'm having lots of problems with this mod. 1. If you go over about 25 mph it starts bouncing left and right exponentially until your course is all messed up. 2. You say the hot keys to center your course are left ctrl + enter, but it doesn't center the course, it does turn off your engine though because enter is the default key to turn on/off your engine. 3. It won't actually stay on course. It jumps lanes when I'm trying to pick up straw. I'm on the Mustang Valley Ranch map and the fields are extremly huge, over 110 ha. on #4 so it would be nice if I could get this mod to work. 4. What are the hotkeys to set the GPS to active/passive?
They're used with ploughs. You set an offset to make up for the end that's sticking out the end of the GPS line and when you make a turn and start going the other way, Reverse Offset prevents you from switching the offset value manuallly, one-by-one. If you set it for Auto Reversal, it just does that automatically for you every time you make a turn.
The tractor keeps skipping lanes over here, even when I set it to 0. It will keep doing this I understand? It won't make a nice turn and go to the next lane?
@@MrIpjrobson Thanks for the reply! I mean the guide lines, is it possible to make the line wider, not adjust the working width. I find it difficult to see the lines in grass for example.
I have tried various different downloads for this mod and I is not available in the game What could I be doing wrong. I even used the one you provided.
Is there a GPS mod that works like a real one ? So when you start yourself on a field that has curves, it copies the way you drive so all the next lanes follow the curve of the field ?
I've been working on it for hours and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get it to autosteer or even automatically drive in a straight line for me.
Hey, I have a problem. I installed the gps mod and it says its installed when I'm on the mods page. But when I go to load a game it doesnt show up as one of the selectable mods. Am I doing something wrong?
Iain Robson I have this mod and have 2 questions 1. I don't get the beep warning when I get to the end of a row 2. There's an icon in the bottom black box the icon is located in the upper left hand corner and it changes when you go to another row in your video it's a +6.
Best way to use this mod without missing much of the field it to take whatever tool you are using around the outside 1 time on all sides of the field and when it turns at the end you don't miss anything because of turn radius.
When farming on a server with other players, does saving work for only myself? Meaning: If I save onto #1 it wont overwrite someone else's save? Thx for the video and yes, I did hit the SUB button.
Hey I got a problem. After I just seewed the first field the tractor is out of control and cannot be steered anymore. how can this be? :/ someone help me
same thing for me. it shows up in the mod hub, but when I start/continue a game it doesn't show up in the select/de select screen. I've tried moving it in and out of the mods folder, deleting re downloading and unzipping to no avail.
Does anyone able to setup "Shift course left/right" into hotkeys? I've assigned them into hotkeys, but they don't seem to work. Other functions do work fine though. Btw, I just noticed that on Halloween all pedestrians walk like zombie lol
Iain Robson Yea I've used that mod during ~100 hours of gameplay (fs15) but I coulnd't memorize the controls etc. :p It's easier when someone just tells me what to do :D
I'm surprised that someone put so much work into a GPS mod, yet made it so it stops before you get to the edge of the field. Why on earth would they make the minimum setting 1 meter away from the edge of the field?
My question to all subscribers is very simply how do I find the gps mod and download it to my Mac... I have looked at several Mod sites but they all say we can not be responsible for anything that may affect your game. I just need to download the gps mod from a reliable source and learn to use it.. Any help is appreciated,, thank you,, Nifty,,,
I don’t even need this mod if you ask me, it’s good for people that can’t run straight rows though. I know how to do field work straight because my dad taught me IRL.
IM SORRY FOR THATS but i leave you very bad comment i try it now and you know what this mods dont dunctionaly correctly when i press left ctrl + 0 appears just the black rectangle cant adjust setting the rectangle is blanck one with tractor inside have just thats not controle for adjust setting and everything thats poors mods realy soorry
i still come back to this video when i fire up the ol FS 17 to learn how to use this mod. i really appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial video.
Glad you find it helpful
Thank you! I love this mod. I've only used a few of the buttons. It's essential for doing any work for other farmers because you don't have to see where the fertilizer stopped to turn the tractor. AND, if you're harvesting, you can pretty much set it for hands free operation and sip coffee while you're making money. :)
+Gary Parkin yes exactly
Great to have this reminder, Iain.
When I get more into the game (and less dependent on contracts!) I'll be using this more.
+Steve Baldock cool man.
Thanks. I'm getting going late, I've been pre-occupied with some other games. So tutorials like this will really help.
Glad it could be helpful
Cheers fella , can always find a helpful tutorial on your channel, really appreciate the work u do
Thanks I appreciate you watching :D
Iain Robson hi how do I get online on Xbox one I just bought the game but it says you don't have access to online mode
cheers mate even if i am not english,american I can understand that easily !
+TheHUnter awesome
Thaks for this Not used it in FS 17 yet all ways bugged me that I did not know the keybindings! If your ever in the UK I there will be a drink on me!
Yeah check the description for more keybinds there is a tone you can use
Thanks, seen a few of your mod tutorials it's great, I've been using the GPS mod for a long time but never bothered to look closer at all the functions so this opened up a few more uses for me. :)
Glad you found it helpful man. Yeah there is lots to it
I have tested using GPS, with Auto turn enabled in missions, Works well.
You have to tweak it to the equipment, for example, skipping a lane or two with narrow tools. However it DOES work. Makes those long missions great money makers. Turn it on, set up properly, go make supper.
Yeah I've heard GPS with the missions is pretty stellar.
Very well done, easy to understand, well thought out and preplanned.
Glad I was able to help.
Awesome, just bought this game and was trying to figure out how to open the HUD lol. Makes life a lot easier and pretty easy to use.
Thanks Iain.
I've used it since FS15, but only for going straight. All those extra functions have been a mystery to me lol
Yep. There is more to it than just going straight :D.
This is my favorite mod by far. Thanks for the vid, and thanks also for the inspiration! I got encouraged to create my own tutorial (happened to be also for the GPS mod) when I watched your drive control vid.
That's awesome that I inspired you to do your own tutorial. I see you play a lot of ETS2 with the Russian map. It's such a good map addition.
Iain Robson yes very! Especially promods. I can't imagine playing ets2 without it anymore.
Iain Robson I only recently got into FS and I'm really finding your vids super helpful. Thanks again! Maybe when I get used to the game I can look for a nice server to play in.
Yeah exactly.
I love these videos you do, someone just explaining how to use a mod. I can see why people love this mod so much now. it's basically a hired help but you have to stay in the vehicle. Great video Iain keep up the good work!! :)
Yeah that's the one drawback of it. It's not courseplay yet :P
Thank you for the tutorial(s)! By far the bests of the bestest est est.......est lolz. I never understood the gps mod in FS15 either, but this covers it for both. Thank you and keep up the great work! :)
+Iain Robson what does the steering wheel do in GPS mod? And also what does the "new" button do that is next to the steering wheel in GPS mod?
As far as I'm concerned, the steering mode does absolutely nothing.
The "new" button, on the other hand, resets the GPS lane right in front of your tractor.
Good tutorial, clear 4me, keep doing how to use..... things. Great video.
I shall keep doing how tos :D
Got an ad before this, essentially: "How many power and water cables are in the ground, check before digging" xD
I guess cause it says GPS... No idea
VERY well explained. Thanks alot!
Rene. Glad to hear you found it helpful. Now it is time to enjoy :D
As usuall, great vid mad!!
Happy to hear that you found it helpful
love your channel. I watched the conveyer video. now I can use conveyors (because i know how) i love the tutorial vids keep up the good work
+Orangejuicegaming glad to hear that
thx
can you do a tutorial video of how to get mods
I'll see what I can do
and maybe how to set up a multiplayer game
Great job Iain, thanks buddy :)
Glad it helped
Excellent video dude. I'm new to farming simulator, so I really appreciate your tutorials! Keep up the good work - subscribed.
Glad to hear that you found it helpful :D
Hi on the image what does the number mean on the top left where the 3 line icon is?
thanks
great talk to you today. This is great stuff. Learning.
For sure. It was a blast. Glad to have another Canadian on board
How does your gps beep mine doesn’t and I want it to
Can the tractor go without you in it? If so how do you enable that?
No you have to be in the tractor for it to work
Iain Robson Thanks!
I have a wireless keyboard that doesn't have a numpad on it. it has the numbers, but gps mod keeps saying key missing.
how do I fix this? thanks
I'd suggest changing your keybindings in options
Thanks Iain, I'll have a look and see what I can come up with
Great tutorial, u sir had made a nice job here! TY
+maestrow glad it helped
Helpful mod, needed to set a few keystrokes, most vids just say click here and here. One question thou, any thoughts how to use the steering wheel under basics?
I haven't used it much to be honest.
Thx for the reply... I havent found a use as well
Thank you so much Iain it helps so much!
do you have any tips for my combine/plough skipping a row? like how do i make it go back amd harvest it
+Mathew White if it is skipping a row. Set it back up on one of the unharvested area and the it will skip to a place where it needs to harvest
I would like to know if the auto harvester mod is out for fs17 that lets the harvester follow the edges of the fields.
It is out in an alpha version right now but not a solid release
How did you get your tractors to do 16mph when doing field work all of mine do 4 mph?
It's 16 Kph not mph perhaps that's the reason
The elephant In the room, If your still wondering it's F1
If you're using realistic ground/realistic traction mod that would explain it.
Most modded tractors also do not support those mods, so they basically fly over the mud.
what doed the button with the steering wheel do? Thanks.
I mucked around with it and I am not completely sure.
Nice video, thx bro...havent tried it yet, but seems it would be good plowing new fields too...I always get those crooked doing it myself.
+Brian Larsen Yeah same. It's a nice thing to have that's for sure
Awesome video!
Thanks
Hi Ian great video, work great. But, when I get to the end of the field it misses a bit, is there anyway to cultivate it all?
There is no easy way to get it all unless you do it yourself.
Iain Robson ok, but I was thinking, what if I use AI extension, use a couple of headlines with it, the use the GPs mod, will it go 1 metre away from the field or the sowed part?
Yeah you could do that. Or use courseplay to do some headlands as well
Thanks man that really helped me out today.
I'm having lots of problems with this mod.
1. If you go over about 25 mph it starts bouncing left and right exponentially until your course is all messed up.
2. You say the hot keys to center your course are left ctrl + enter, but it doesn't center the course, it does turn off your engine though because enter is the default key to turn on/off your engine.
3. It won't actually stay on course. It jumps lanes when I'm trying to pick up straw. I'm on the Mustang Valley Ranch map and the fields are extremly huge, over 110 ha. on #4 so it would be nice if I could get this mod to work.
4. What are the hotkeys to set the GPS to active/passive?
+Lucifer2066 speed does play a factor. Check your controls in options
Absolutely love this mod...
How do I make the display smaller?? Can't seem to find the option for this...
As far as I know, there isn't an option for that
GPS mod is great for contracts. Does the job for you. Just make two headlands and let it run till it finishes.
Indeed it makes that easier.
How do the Reverse Offset and the Auto Offset Reversal work?
They're used with ploughs. You set an offset to make up for the end that's sticking out the end of the GPS line and when you make a turn and start going the other way, Reverse Offset prevents you from switching the offset value manuallly, one-by-one. If you set it for Auto Reversal, it just does that automatically for you every time you make a turn.
Thanks wasn't really sure what this mod did :D, can it be used for square bailing?
For the straight line part for sure. The turns may be a bit odd
The tractor keeps skipping lanes over here, even when I set it to 0. It will keep doing this I understand? It won't make a nice turn and go to the next lane?
It's most likely because the turning circle of the tractor is too big so it can't make a narrow enough turn
Iain Robson Too bad.. will have to do this by hand then.
Is it possible to make the lines wider? Can't find any info about that.
Yes, you can adjust the width of the swath
@@MrIpjrobson Thanks for the reply!
I mean the guide lines, is it possible to make the line wider, not adjust the working width.
I find it difficult to see the lines in grass for example.
You can raise the lines up out of the grass
Like the video for more mod help
Glad to hear it helped man
Great video - now subscribed thankyou
Glad you found it helpful man
I have tried various different downloads for this mod and I is not available in the game What could I be doing wrong. I even used the one you provided.
You might have to look around now for that mod now. It was posted a while ago.
For me Ctrl del does nothing and I can only move in two directions. If I change course the tractor spins in circles. Also I have no hud.
Hi I'm having trouble with this mod
ie the hud is in the way and with the hud hider mod it hides everything
You can press left ctrl + Del key on your numb pad to show or hide certain parts of the hud.
I hope that helps.
Is there a GPS mod that works like a real one ?
So when you start yourself on a field that has curves, it copies the way you drive so all the next lanes follow the curve of the field ?
Unfortunately not. At some point maybe but this one if more for straight lines
I've been working on it for hours and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get it to autosteer or even automatically drive in a straight line for me.
How do you activate the mod if your keyboard doesn't have a numpad? Like a laptop keyboard?
you would have to go into the keybinding in options and change it. that would be my suggestion
Very clear!
+Tino glad you liked it
how do i remove the key menu hus top left as it covers the gps hud????
F1
Iain Robson cheers but I figured it out just after I asked it annoyed me I I did on fs15 thanks for responding
Hey, I have a problem. I installed the gps mod and it says its installed when I'm on the mods page. But when I go to load a game it doesnt show up as one of the selectable mods. Am I doing something wrong?
How do you know it's installed if it is not showing up on the mods selection page? I would try to get the version from modhoster. com
Iain Robson I have this mod and have 2 questions
1. I don't get the beep warning when I get to the end of a row
2. There's an icon in the bottom black box the icon is located in the upper left hand corner and it changes when you go to another row in your video it's a +6.
is there anyway to decrease the "auto stop dist" less than 1.0?
+Sahr to less than 1m no.
Aw sad, it's because the vehicle does the turning on the edge and usually leaves spaces without working on the ground, however, it's an excellent mod
Best way to use this mod without missing much of the field it to take whatever tool you are using around the outside 1 time on all sides of the field and when it turns at the end you don't miss anything because of turn radius.
+Patrick Anderson as far as I know, you'd have to do a headland to make sure you get it all
When farming on a server with other players, does saving work for only myself? Meaning: If I save onto #1 it wont overwrite someone else's save? Thx for the video and yes, I did hit the SUB button.
So i can make the gps to go on every lane without skipping one?
+Vlad Teban Yeah but it depends on the implement. Some will have a turning circle that it too tight
Ok, thank you for the answer, great video by the way, it makes all so clear.
how did you hide the game controls so i can see the gps controls
F1
Will there be a version for Farming Simulator 19 ??? *pls*
Possibly. I didn't make the mod
Hey I got a problem. After I just seewed the first field the tractor is out of control and cannot be steered anymore. how can this be? :/ someone help me
It might be a mod conflict try and only use the gps mod and a base game tractor
That's what I used. I used an base Case tractor.. :/
***** I don't know of what could cause that
Well atleast you tried. Thank you for your fast responding. Cheers :D
Do you have to download this mod or is it in the game?? I've used it in fs15 but not 17 and if I have to download it where's a good site??
+Brandon Payne you have to download it. There is a link in the description
awesome video. really usefull 😊
Great to hear that you found it helpful
Iain Robson indeed. i will try it out soon
My menu doesn't show any help?
driving assistance automatically drive for me?
+Dede Raditya with you in the tractor
I don't have manual start in option s
dude can you tell me how can active the mouse in screen? i cant get my mouse in screen
You have to hold down the control key
Iain Robson now get it thnx bro
Left CTr and Delete does not bring it up, it just brings up my Group switcher.
Check your keybinds.
IT might be something else because you have additional mods.
Left CTRl numpad . and num 0 are the keys because CTRL Del is used for courseplay
how to activate the manual motor start-up ?
In the game settings
I have this game but there is no GPS option how do you even get to it in the first place
It's a mod you will need to download from modhoster.com
Anyone know why i cant use this in multiplayer with my bud. We voth have it
It says I have the gps mod installed but it will not let me use it. Please help.
Did you activate it?
Iain Robson How do I do that?
It won't even show up in the activate screen.
same thing for me. it shows up in the mod hub, but when I start/continue a game it doesn't show up in the select/de select screen. I've tried moving it in and out of the mods folder, deleting re downloading and unzipping to no avail.
Kurt Rodland I've tried that to.
Many thanks.
No problem. Glad I could help
Is there going to be a GPS mod for console
No. Not as far as I know
can u get the GPS mod for PlayStation 4
Not as far as I know
Have this mod been removed ? cant find it :(
+HeavyDemir it's still around
yeah :) found it, just had to look outside the FS17 client
Will this be available in Farm 19?
No idea
I can't make my mouse button show up. It's is only working with ic vehicles. I play it on Mac btw
Can someone help me?
great vid and just subd to you
Thanks man. Glad you liked it
I noticed GPS v501 has missing audio....anybody else run into this?
I haven't run into it yet
Good video! But the sound is pretty low
is it for ps4 too?
+[DarkKillerClan]berrybeni|Flori not as Far as I know
+Iain Robson thx for answer
Where can I get this mod?
modhoster.com had it. I think it still does
@@MrIpjrobson ok thank you!
left-crtl del doesn't work for me :(
Check your controls in your options menu.
Also it's del (or period) on your numpad on your keyboard
Thank you
No problem
thanks Robson
HOW DO YOU EVEN GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE WITH THE MOD?!
+Leanne_TGG w or 3
Iain Robson Oh ok thanks, maybe I didn't listen correctly! 😂👍
Does anyone able to setup "Shift course left/right" into hotkeys? I've assigned them into hotkeys, but they don't seem to work. Other functions do work fine though.
Btw, I just noticed that on Halloween all pedestrians walk like zombie lol
Yeah funny eh
I pressed left ctrl+ delete and nothing happened??
oh never mind i got it
thaaank you :3
Glad it helped man :D
Iain Robson Yea I've used that mod during ~100 hours of gameplay (fs15) but I coulnd't memorize the controls etc. :p It's easier when someone just tells me what to do :D
i press ctrl O and . but no lines!!!
zero on the numbpad. If that doesn't work, check your control options to see what it is for you
how about courseplay
It's not out yet for fs17
does it work for ps4?
Not as far as I know
OK thank you
I'm surprised that someone put so much work into a GPS mod, yet made it so it stops before you get to the edge of the field. Why on earth would they make the minimum setting 1 meter away from the edge of the field?
Who knows why it was set up that way. I assume it was because they expected there to be trees at the end
