Realistic Diesel Start V1.1 fs25-mods

Description:

Tired of starting an engine with a single key press? This mod transforms ignition into a realistic sequence, just like a real diesel. **MULTI-STAGE STARTING** - Short press of the engine key: ignition ON (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 the engine to cough, fail to start, and take 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 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. - Made with passion for realistic farming simulation. **V1.1.0.0** - New Features: - The clutch must now be depressed to start the engine (X key, reassignable in Options ? Controls). This is solely for starting the engine and has no other function. - The engine warms up based on actual RPM/load, not a fixed time — and loses power when cold. - Lights and hazard lights no longer turn off automatically when the ignition is switched off. - Air pressure gauge and thermometer have been redesigned with realistic icons and more vibrant colors. - The HUD now locks automatically to the in-game speedometer at any resolution. - Italian translation. - Sounds converted to OGG format. - Various stability improvements. - Credits: OGG sound and Italian translation provided by FirenzeIT.
