Courseplay/CourseGenerator

change course direction

What is the problem this feature/enhancement solves?
Mowing a field using the Pöttinger for example is done starting on the outside. Baling is done better from inside out.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a possibility to change the direction (Start/Stop) of a saved course.

Not sure what course generator settings you use, but you can try generating two courses, with all the same settings, except one starting on headland, the other in the middle. The generator internally always generates from the outside and just reverses the course when you set starting from the middle.

Yes, I am aware of that. However, I have often forgotten to generate the second course together with the first. And if this is not done with the same field positions, the courses are not congruent. A possibility to let a course travel from the end to the beginning would certainly be a nice addition there.

Would be really useful when you have raked a field of grass into rows and you want to bale it, I would want the baler using the rake path but starting from the center (so the baler doesn't keep stopping when coming near to bales on the headland if you start on the headland first) or if your baling whilst combining, you'd want the same. Be handy if you could switch it or regenerate the same course from the middle using the same locations etc...
