Helper AI is terrible

[Drake Backwards]

i kinda get what they were trying when implementing the new AI routes but its implemented very poorly apparently. Im playing on Riverbend Springs and the AI is driving me insane.
Having a border on the field for maneuvering etc seems very nice but the AI doesnt even use that, its just a waste of time to prepare it before they actually start working on the majority on the field. when turning after completing a lane, they dont even use the space they cleared first wich just kinda annoys me even more. And dont even get me started on actually having to find out how to even use them in the first place.
The GPS and all that is great, dont get me wrong, and it works very well. But ffs give me the option to just let Helpers drive up and down the fields like it was in FS22

You can hold H on a field and it gives you the option, I didn't know that myself until someone pointed it out yesterday. AI still a little clunky though at times.

Try using it on the oddly shaped field in the Asian map scenario. Keeps backing up and getting a little bit more of the field cultivated. Did they not even test this before release or something?

I completely agree on your post, the idea is good, and sometimes the AI works fine, not great, but for most of the time the AI really bad, espacially with plowing. I hope they work on a fix that will bring back the old helper that just keeps going up and down the field, and then wait for maps with rectangular fields.

I know that you can make them at least start on the outer edge first now, but i cant go lower than 4 rows, so its always there. idk if im missing something

the old method wasnt free of flaws either, so the idea to smooth out some fields is ok, but they leave blank spots aswell, are slow, and cant work in a row like they used to.
kinda disappointing that the one feature thats really new is so frustrating and bad overall

The AI isn't much of an improvement. On grain fields the combine tends to go the wrong way, so the pipe is over the unharvested part, and you can't drive next to it to unload. And f.e. the potatoe harvester on field 24 on Riverbed is a nightmare. Gets stuck in a corner and keeps going over the same patch to harvest.

This isn't what we were promissed. We can only hope for courseplay to fix it once again.
