Realistic Diesel Start V1.0 fs25-mods

Description:

Realistic Diesel Start — Advanced Engine Start System Tired of starting an engine with a single key press? This mod turns ignition into a realistic sequence, just like a real diesel. **MULTI-STAGE STARTING** – Short press of the engine key: ignition ON (the dashboard powers up). – Glow plug pre-heating with a HUD indicator next to the speedometer that changes color as it heats up. – Pre-heat time depends on temperature: in deep winter it can take up to 25 seconds; with a warm engine or in summer it’s nearly instant. – Hold the key to crank. Cranking before the glow plugs are ready may cause coughing, failure to start, and slight damage. – After a cold start, the engine idles for a few seconds before responding to the throttle. **COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM (trucks)** – HUD pressure gauge showing tank pressure. – The compressor builds air while the engine runs (timings calibrated with real truck data). – Pressure bleeds off while parked: leave the truck sitting and you’ll need to build air back up before leaving. – Realistic air brakes: run out of pressure and the **spring brakes** engage, locking the truck in place — just like in real life, you don’t lose your brakes, you get stuck! – Audible low-pressure warning buzzer. **FEATURES** – Keyboard and gamepad compatible. Uses the vanilla engine key, no new keybindings. – Multiplayer and dedicated server support. – Sounds: low-pressure buzzer, failed-start cough, air release. – Configurable via console (`rdsConfig` command): toggle damage, air system, and adjust timings. – Repositionable HUD (`rdsHudPos` command). – Translated to Spanish, English, and German. – AI workers are not affected. Credits: The ignition/contact concept was inspired by the “Real Ignition” mod by Guner348. Made with passion for realistic farming simulation.
