Flexible Headers Not Able to Flex When CP AI is Driving

What happened?

This is actually with version 1.15 of the game but that was not an option in the dropdown.

I have a Giants New Holland CR11 with a Giants New Holland FD250 FlexDraper header. When I am driving, the header will flex at the three joints it has to conform to the ground. When CoursePlay AI is driving, the header goes completely rigid. This causes issues with missing crop or dragging on the ground when harvesting over uneven terrain.

How can we reproduce this?

Use the above equipment and test with CoursePlay AI on uneven terrain.

What did you expect to happen?

The header should flex the same as it does when the player is driving.

Attach your log.txt!

Screenshots

I can provide screenshots if requested but I don't believe they are necessary.

What does the Giants helper do?

I have the same issue with the same draper. It occurs for all the MacDon FD 250 Drapers (Case IH/New Holland/MacDon) on all harvesters, no matter if base game or mod.

With the Giants Helper, the headers keep their flexibility.

Disengaging Courseplay and re-engaging it sometimes fixes the issue.

I have no mods installed which should affect the headers. I will still try without any mods and report back.

I did a quick test with no mods, only DLC content active.

Couldnt find a non flex situation

Start at first point.
Start at nearest waypoint at lands (CP did some lane changes, so header get raised and lowerd)

I could finally reproduce the error.

If Coursplay lowers the header itself, the flex works. If I lower the header manually, drive for a little and then activate Courseplay, the header gets stiff.

That's why disengaging and reengaging Courseplay only sometimes helped. If the header is fully lifted before reengaging, flex works. If not fully lifted, it gets stiff again.

Knowing that, it's just a minor bug tbh.
