After a long time it is time, today I can present my new project.
The mod extends the game with many realistic features.
Almost all functions are already included in the mod. Some design adjustments and features still need to be fully implemented and tested.
I will always publish updates to the mod with new pictures at irregular intervals.
Much that is already included in the mod is not yet visible on the pictures, because there are many functions and menu pages, there are always new pictures of the finished pages and the functions in the updates.
Functions:
Engine and operation:
- Realistic calculation of speed, torque, engine load and power reserve
- Dynamic fuel consumption depending on load and operating state
- Separate calculation of diesel and AdBlue
- Calculation of coolant temperature, oil temperature, exhaust temperature and transmission temperature
- Engine oil, lubrication and oil pressure
- Delayed engine start with cold engine
- Performance reduction at critical temperatures or poor operating values
- Realistic wear calculation depending on load, temperature and use
- Notes in cold motor, overload and critical operating values
- Engine protection by automatic reactions of the helper
- Consideration of turbocharger, charge air and exhaust aftertreatment
Drive and traction:
- Support for different drive concepts
- Evaluation of the drive actually present in the vehicle
- Support for rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive and native all-wheel drive
- Support for differential locks
- Automatic lock control when the slip is detected
- Lifting the lock at high speed, strong steering angle or braking processes
- More realistic traction in difficult soil conditions
- Vehicles can realistically reach their limits without a suitable drive or lock
- Use of the existing all-wheel drive and lock control with the existing mouse operation
- Common hydraulic circuit for vehicle and connected equipment
- Calculation of hydraulic pressure and hydraulic flow
- Consideration of engine speed, pump power and consumer priority
- Support of the three-point hydraulics
- Support of front loaders and movable cylinders
- Support of folding functions
- Detection of hydraulic tipper movements and native discharge animations
- Consideration of hydraulic side walls, covers and ejection devices
- Support of hydraulic motors and hydraulic hammers
- Consideration of connected devices via hydraulic lines
- Realistic limitation of available hydraulic power
- Gentler lifting and lowering without jerky vehicle stops
- Calculation of PTO load and PTO consumption
- Consideration of Pto consumers and performance-dependent equipment
- Support of native device kinematics without unnecessary overwriting of original behavior
Compressed air and electrics:
- Simulation of a compressed air system
- Air tank and compressor control
- Compressed air consumption by brakes and connected consumers
- Detection of pressure losses and leaks
- Display of air pressure and system condition
- Simulation of battery, state of charge and alternator
- Consideration of starters and electrical consumers
- Diagnosis of fuses and electrical lines
- Display of battery voltage, charging current and electrical load
Device profiles and wear:
- Own operating profile for each vehicle and device
- Consideration of device type, area of application and use
- Separate operating hours for vehicles and attachments
- Condition assessment of individual assemblies
- Recording of load profile, temperature and operating risks
- Support of various vehicles, devices and manufacturer profiles
- Adjustment of motor profiles and performance characteristics
- Traceable load chain from overload to temperature to wear
Diagnosis and protection functions:
- Technical vehicle diagnostics
- Detection of overload and critical operating conditions
- Warnings with cause, impact and recommendation for action
- Protection measures for critical motor and system values
- Display of errors, warnings and protection shutdowns
- Diagnostics of engine, drive, hydraulics, electrics, compressed air and temperature
- Vehicle file with stored measured values and events
- History of important operating conditions
- Support automatic protection measures in the helper operation
HUD and display:
- Operation HUD with the most important current values
- Technical HUD with detailed engine, hydraulics, electrics and compressed air data
- Warnings and Service HUD
- Display of speed, power, torque, load and consumption
- Display of temperatures, pressures, fill levels and operating conditions
- Display of all-wheel drive, lock, PTO and hydraulic status
- Display of the currently moved or selected device
- Common database for HUD, ESC menu and workshop
- HUD can be closed and reopened via a green RED bar
- HUD position can be customized
- Existing input assignments are retained and can be changed in the game settings
Workshop and service:
- Own RED Service Management
- Service intervals for vehicles and equipment
- Condition testing of individual assemblies
- Calculation of working time and service costs
- Spare parts inspection and spare parts order
- Delivery status and material management
- Service history and vehicle file
- Maintenance schedule and next service appointment
- Maintenance and operating contracts
- Warranty and goodwill
- Preventive maintenance
- Emergency repair and roadside assistance
- Different service profiles for vehicles and equipment
- Support of vehicles and attachments in the same service process
- Use of the native workshop trigger
- The native repair remains available as a relapse level for unsupported cases
Service options:
- The separate Service Options page offers six choices:
- Keep watching
- reduce load
- Preventative waiting
- Overtaking assembly
- Check spare part
- Checking out
-For each option, the current selection, the preview, the consequences and the status are displayed. The decision will take effect only after confirmation and may be amended again later.
Storage and Multiplayer:
- Storage of the vehicle and device data
- Storage of operating hours, conditions, service plans and decisions
- Synchronization of important values in multiplayer
- Network-enabled service and diagnostic functions
- Support of vehicles, equipment and connected attachments
- Placeable RED AdBlue Station
