FDR Logging Mods

Update notes – Version (14.0)

=NEW MODS=
CAT 313

=MOD CHANGES=

ALL TREES ON THE MAP – Complete physics overhaul; logs stack better, move less, and don't slide down slopes as much.
ALL TREES ON THE MAP – All trees now have more weight and more realistic behavior.

ALL MACHINES/ATTACHMENTS – New reflective metallic paint finish on the bodywork (by popular request, as the machines previously appeared matte).

ALL MODS – Mud/dirt has been selectively added to certain components.
ALL TRACKED MACHINES – Undercarriage and slewing mechanism now accumulate some dirt to better visually match the dirt on the tracks.
ALL TRACKED MACHINES – Adjustments to the sensitivity of the boom, stick, slewing mechanism, and rotating brake for improved control and more precise stopping.

TIMBERPRO FORWARDER – The machine is now delivered with the gripper already mounted and ready for use; separate assembly is no longer required.

TIMBERPRO FORWARDER – Grabbers and stakes are now color-matchable (similar to the main body).

TIMBERPRO FORWARDER GRIPPER – Improved gripping power.

TIMBERPRO FORWARDER GRABBER – Slightly increased rotation speed.

TIMBERPRO FORWARDER GRABBER – Adapted shape for better gripping of tree trunks.

LINKBELT – Fixed a fault with a flickering safety warning in the cabin.

HITACHI 210 LOWCAB – Problem with extremely bright reflections on boom and stem fixed.

TIGERCAT 822 – Missing roof window on the outside of the cabin added.

ALL GRIPPERS – Improved gripping power and less bouncy behavior.

ALL GRIPPERS – now feature functioning/movable hydraulic cylinders.

ALL GRIPPERS – Are now color-customizable.

ALL GRIPPERS – Increased friction on the gripping arms for better hold and less slippage when gripped.

ALL PENDULUM GRABERS – Reduced swing speed to prevent excessive swaying. POWERCLAM S – Lowered stabilizer for improved reach.
Pivoting felling heads – Improved balance and optimized felling position (higher and more horizontal).
All bundle felling heads – Lowered underside allows deeper penetration into the ground when cutting (“Dig for Dirt” function).
All bundle felling heads – New, extremely smooth cut; previous versions often got stuck, now multiple trees can be cut more easily.
PROPAC bundle felling head – Logo lettering on the head is now color-customizable.
Brush chipper – Chipper disc chrome-plated. Dirt deposits are now visible.
All processor heads – swivel speed reduced to minimize unwanted rocking.
All processor heads – gripper arms/blades corrected to prevent glitches when passing through logs.
All processor heads – manual cutting function adjusted (prevents accidental contact with trees in the head).
All processor heads – improved balance and optimized felling position (higher and more horizontal).

All trucks – increased top speed.
All trucks – adjustments to performance and acceleration for better balance (no longer overpowered).

All wooden trailers – Shop icons updated.
All wooden trailers – Now color customizable.
Hay trailers – Bug fixed: Axle protruded through the rim on the left side.
Quad trailers – Bug fixed: Trailer jammed and bounced around strangely while driving.
Quad trailers – Bug fixed: Truck jammed on sharp turns with trailer. Quad
trailers – Grab arm moved forward to avoid collisions with the stakes when grabbing/lifting.
Quad trailers – New bracket added to better secure the trailer when loaded.
LOGGER VNX quad truck – Stakes now color-match the truck body (matching the trailer colors).
PUP trailers – Fixed reflective strip on the front of the trailer that protruded through the model and was misaligned.

5.0 patching notes

= Update changes =
All memory games are secured with this update.

Bug Fix - Problem with jumping and jumping when swinging the cab, which occurs with the Giants FS 1.9 update.

All griffins - newly made -up claw handles to support new trunks/weights.
Dangle Head Clam - larger size and width.
Dangle Head Clam e - larger gripper size.
All Buncher Heads-great revision of the cutnodes + new physics booster plate.
All Buncher Heads - Problem resolved that trees like big bunches of "cookies".

4.0 Patchnotizen
= New mods =
Logger Mack Super
Doosan DX255 LL
Clark 880
Dangle Clam e Greifer

= Update changes =
All cards -adapted wooden framework and physics for slight improvements in handling.
All cards - wooden weights reduced by 10 %.
All gripper - improved grip strength and holding force for new tree physics.
Dangle Greifer - Fixed errors: Right -wing claw closes faster than left claw.
Mack Logger-Fixed: Upper headache rack poles are brown by dirt.
All bungeon heads - adapted arm collisions and grip strength for better tree control and more gentle gripping
All bungeon heads - improved cutting nodes for gentler and faster cutting

V3.0 Fast hotfix update
Several users have sent error reports on the mistakes of the bungeon heads after today's update 3.0.
It was a mistake on my part, a change in numbers at the last minute that I forgot to correct.
