Realistic Combine V1.0.0.6 fs25-mods

Description:

Realistic Combine enhances combine harvesters and forage harvesters in LS 25 with a dynamic system that simulates harvesting performance and throughput. Yield, crop quantity, engine power, engine speed, and driving speed are interconnected. A light load puts less strain on the machine, while high yields increase material intake, strain the engine, and reduce working speed. Overloading can cause engine and drive speeds to drop, increasing harvest losses. Manufacturer automatics recognize known machines by brand, model, or series, assigning the appropriate automatic family from the manufacturer. RCL does not read the machine's electronics directly but recognizes the vehicle and simulates the manufacturer’s automatic system based on real operating principles. Supported automatic families include: CLAAS CEMOS AUTOMATIC / CRUISE PILOT, CLAAS JAGUAR CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE, John Deere HarvestSmart, John Deere Predictive Ground Speed Automation, Case IH Harvest Command, New Holland IntelliSense / IntelliCruise II, Fendt IDEALharvest / HarvestPlus, Rostselmash RSM Adaptive Cruise Control, KRONE BiG X ConstantPower. For example, a recognized CLAAS LEXION can be assigned to CEMOS/CRUISE PILOT, while a JAGUAR uses CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE. The automatic system influences processing capacity, target utilization, reaction behavior, and speed control, tailored to each machine class. If the automatic system cannot be identified, the realistic model remains active, using generic load and flow control without displaying incorrect automation. Vehicle detection includes 240 profiles: 204 specific models and 36 series or family profiles from around 16 manufacturers, considering different classes, threshing systems, and performance ranges. Mod combines are also recognized if they use standard GIANTS vehicle functions for engine, control, and operation. Recognition starts with the specific model; if unknown, RCL attempts to identify the series or family. If still unknown, a generic profile is created based on vehicle data and engine power, ensuring different processing capacities for different mods. For forage harvesters and mod shredders, recognition is based on GIANTS technology, with correct automatic assignment possible for known models, e.g., CLAAS JAGUAR with CEMOS AUTO PERFORMANCE or KRONE BiG X with ConstantPower. Unknown mods receive the full RCL performance model. Grass pickup is recognized separately from corn heads. Native GIANTS pickups and many mod pickups are automatically identified. Light swaths allow higher speeds, while heavy swaths increase intake load, potentially reaching performance limits. No full scans of swath or DensityMap are needed. Automatic harvesting guide: RCL uses GIANTS cruise control. To activate: Left Ctrl + Left Alt + A, with the display showing READY. Set the maximum working speed on the cruise control; RCL regulates below this. Turn on the harvester and activate cruise control with button 3. When crop is picked up, RCL switches to ACTIVE and manages automatic cruise control. For example, if set to 12 km/h, the machine maintains this speed on light crops but reduces speed under heavier loads. Headland: When flow decreases, RCL releases cruise control after a short delay, restoring previous speed and turning off cruise control, but Auto remains active. Return to the crop and press button 3 to resume. Power control on the field: Harvest quantity affects throughput, engine load, working speed, drive speed, threshing system load, and losses. The straw chopper also consumes power, increasing load depending on material and straw amount. The system works even if automatic harvesting is off; manual driving into heavy crops can cause engine overload, speed drops, and increased grain losses. HP and machine performance: Engine power is crucial—more horsepower generally means higher processing capacity and reserves, but speed is limited by load, machine type, header, slope, and current conditions. Small and large machines react differently. Slope ride: Going uphill requires extra engine power, reducing available power for threshing or chopping, causing RCL to lower speed sooner. Downhill does not accelerate endlessly. Integrated downhill sync: RCL includes vehicle synchronization for harvesters, forage harvesters, and downhill tractors, which can be added via shop or workshop. Compatible mod tractors, harvesters, and forage harvesters are recognized through GIANTS vehicle functions. To start sync: Left Alt + U. The driver maintains steering; RCL synchronizes travel speed and longitudinal distance. If the harvester slows due to heavy crops, the synchronized response adjusts accordingly. Automatic reconnection: Enabled by default, RCL remembers the last connected harvester and reconnects automatically when in range again. Performance and multiplayer: RCL uses existing GIANTS data and vehicle functions, avoiding constant full scans or crop calculations, ensuring compatibility with multiplayer and dedicated servers. Goal of Realistic Combine: To create a harvesting experience where different machines, engine powers, and conditions react realistically—less yield allows more speed, higher yield increases load, more horsepower boosts capacity, overload reacts with speed drops, known machines get manufacturer automatics, and unknown mods are modeled realistically. This integration of yield, throughput, engine power, engine speed, and driving behavior results in a more authentic harvesting simulation.
