| Description | Changelog 1.3.0.2: Tractor parking brakes stay applied on slopes with no driver and the engine stopped. Combination weight and slope no longer release the brake; increased holding force.
Previous fix 1.3.0.1: Initialize dynamic wheel chock folding limits before asynchronous loading to prevent the nil comparison in Foldable:getIsWheelChockAllowed.
More realistic braking behaviour for trucks, tractors, harvesters and trailers.
FEATURES:
- PARKING BRAKE: Vehicles can roll away on slopes when the brake is not applied. A tractor's parking brake also secures its attached trailer combination.
- HEAVY HARVESTERS: Their parking brake only holds the high mass on gentle slopes. On steeper ground they can slide even with the brake applied.
- WHEEL CHOCKS (K): Heavy self-propelled harvesters receive visible chocks as an additional hill safeguard. They are set and removed from the cab and reliably lock the machine.
- SWITCHABLE ENGINE BRAKE (B): Trucks receive a strong engine brake. Tractors can switch between engine braking and free coasting.
- TRAILER PARKING BRAKE (J): Trailers may be attached or detached with the brake applied or released. Applied brakes lock the wheels and keep available wheel chocks visible. A released trailer can roll away.
- REALISTIC SOUNDS: Spatial engine-brake, wheel-chock and trailer-brake sounds with limited range. The air-brake sound is only used when a compressed-air system is detected.
- BRAKE LOAD AND FADE: A coloured bar displays thermal brake load without a falsely precise Celsius value. Sustained heavy braking visibly reaches the red zone, reduces braking performance and can cause damage.
- HELPER COMPATIBLE: GIANTS AI, AutoDrive and Courseplay can take over vehicles normally. The towing vehicle's parking brake is applied automatically when the job ends. An explicitly applied trailer brake must still be released before work begins.
- MULTIPLAYER AND DEDICATED SERVER: Brake states and sounds are synchronized appropriately.
OPTIONAL COMPATIBILITY:
- EnhancedVehicle: Its parking-brake key, display and sound are reused.
- FS25_attachImplementsManually: Depending on that mod's setting, the trailer brake is operated from the cab or exclusively outside at the coupling point.
The mod also works without these optional additions. |
