LS25 Autodrive Alma, Missouri V1.0.0.0
I created an AD course for the map Alma, Missouri.
I completely recreated the map from scratch, as the routes I found were based on the map’s AI splines. However, these splines are completely unsuitable for Autodrive; the roads are far too close together, making reasonable oncoming traffic impossible, even on the main roads.
Built-in with AD version 3.0.1.0, this version automatically creates intersections with right-of-way rules. For these to function correctly, Autodrive should be used with at least version 3.0.1.0.
All loading bays and triggers for bulk goods are accessible with large equipment. Tested with a Volvo VNX 300 (hooded truck) and a Lode King Distinction Triple Hopper trailer. While small to medium-sized vehicles can access the small, inner-city production facilities that handle palletized goods, the limited space makes automated loading and unloading impractical. Manual intervention is required in these cases.
The access roads to some fields are really tricky, especially for fields 17, 27, 31, and 33. I haven’t been able to design the access roads in such a way that automatic harvest removal works. Manual intervention is necessary here to position the trucks effectively.
The fields have catch lines; where possible, I’ve added a second point to each field to allow spreaders and seed drills to be automatically loaded from a transfer wagon. Depending on the transfer wagon used, these two points may need to be adjusted relative to each other.
The two outlying farmyards are accessible, but not yet inspected. Since farmyards are often remodeled, I didn’t bother to inspect the main farmyard in detail. The grain silo serves as the access point.
Some more statistics: Break-in period 19.5 hours / distance covered 112 km / diesel consumed 534 liters.
Up until now, I’ve only ever taken courses for myself; this is the first one I’m publishing. Since it’s certainly not yet at a professional level, suggestions and helpful criticism are very welcome.
