Courseplay: Feature request: Countdown timer

[flattopc]

Hello,

I apologize if I put request this in the wrong place. I am unfamiliar with Github and its terminology. I am also not a programmer, and have respect for those of you who build Courseplay!

I have a feature request - is it possible to create a countdown timer for a given course? For example, if I am going to be plowing a large field, it would be nice to know about how long I had to go get a cup of coffee. I would think this would be relatively easy to calculate based on the known driving speed and course length, but perhaps it is more difficult than I imagine.

Realistically, it wouldn't have to be super-accurate. Just a "less than a minute" left would be helpful.

And when a course was set to repeat, you could say something like "3:37 until end point" or something.

Thanks again to everyone who works on this mod! You make Farming Simulator much more enjoyable for me!

Hello Guys,

I would like to suggest another feature:
Would it be possible to create another countdown which let us to set how many times should the equipment do its course.
For example: planning to sell wheat for a mill, but dont want to sell the whole amount. So I give an order for the truck to follow the route only 3 times, then it stops?

Max respect for your work. CP makes FS a real management simulator. Without it FS would be quite annoying.
Thx

@flattopc : I liked the Idea. I implemented it into the HUD in v 01.0040

test and report , note that the correct time will be calibrated to the turn times after the first turn.

@aBerek : your idea is already in our suggestions box

One thing that would be nice is for it to clear out when the work is done or stop driver button is hit or a change of mode

you are right. 0041....
