anyone got tips for plowing in a straight line?
it seems no matter how hard I try to keep straight my tractors drift.

also for my wonky fields, can I trim it down because my AI cannot plow an entire field that isn't a straight line it seems.

There is a mod that's galled Guidance Steering in the modhub in game. This allows you to record a straight line, set the width of your tool. It will den calculate "lines" back and forth for the width of your tool and when turned on, keep you straight on those lines.

I use the compass coordinates in my mini map to keep my tractor straight.

Yes.

if your using the GPS mod it's left ALT+V

Also you can focus on point off in the distance to keep nose of tractors pointed to. Similarly yiu can focus on a line in field.

But I highly recommend mod mentioned above.

You can just fix any wonky lines with the landscaping tools. That's what I do after expanding a field

GPS mod? Do you mean "Guidance Steering"?
I use GS as I want just that. Guidance steering. The one you are referring to ("FS22_EnhancedVehicle") looks like it has a lot of crap i for sure do _not_ want.
Just for steering straight I'd still recommend GS.

For just driving in a straight line, your mini map has a compass on it. Just keep it at 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or whatever direction you're heading.

Read OP.

Well, from the OP, I see this thread is like 8 months old. Since he never responded, I assume the OP either figured it out or moved on by now.

Yeah you're right about that part :)

And not for nothing, but I did read the OP. He was looking for tips on driving straight. Do you need a mod just to drive straight? I can make perfectly straight fields just using the compass that don't need to be edited with the landscaping tool afterwards.

Yes I do. And the feature even exists in modern tractors. This is not science fiction :)

Best tips I have for those who do not want to use mods:

1) Smooth or flatten the terrain. Sharp angles and large hills will significantly alter your tractors direction of movement.
2) At the bottom of the minimap are a series of numbers. The first number is your heading based on the points of the compass. 360.0/0.0 is due north, 90.0 is east, 180.0 is south, and 270.0 is west. You can use these headings to move in a relatively straight line. Personally I prefer sticking to the cardinal directions as these seem to be the easiest for the AI to follow.
3) Use the terrain editor to clean up wonky lines and adjust your fields so they have plenty of room around them for your tractors and equipment to turn. The field doesn't have to be perfectly square, but the closer the better. If you don't want to spend a lot of money cleaning up your field go to the "plants" section, select meadow and use right click to erase the parts of the field you want to. It is free to erase the field this way so you save a lot of money.
4) Make the new field or field expansion significantly larger than you want for the final product. It is easier to erase a bit of extra field then it is to try and micro manage each edge in the tractor. That way any wavers or wonky edges are just erased when you do the cleanup.
5) *BONUS TIP* Clear a significant area around each field of any plants or objects. This will make it easier to see the edges, and any stray piles or objects (especially things like small branches or pieces of tree that you cut down) are easily visible for cleanup. Trust me, it will make your game experience a lot better. I typically clear a section 1 tick down from the maximum Meadow plant brush size. Additionally cut down any trees within about 30 meters of your field. The AI completely bugs out on obstacles and this will make it run smoother (don't forget to grind the stumps as the AI will still "dodge" the stump). Many times you cannot remove all the obstacles (like power poles/towers, or houses) but slightly reducing the field or cultivating/planting/harvesting in a different direction will fix about 90% of those issues.
