Description:

New in V1.0.1.2: rear differential locked during plowing (AUTO mode), AUTOSWITCH tab in Settings, opening hours, dual wheels mounted only with racks, optional tire wear (Use Your Tyres recommended).
V1.0.1.2 features include: rear differential lock during plowing (AUTO mode), AUTOSWITCH tab in Settings, store and sales point opening hours, twin wheels mounted only via pallets, visible weather and wind, weighing and sales logs, bank overdraft and cooperatives paid at month’s end, cars no longer overtake tractors. Optional tire wear (Use Your Tyres recommended): Real Physics – Tire Wear is no longer required. AutoSwitch is a companion mod that automates tire pressure and differential management, making traction more realistic. It integrates Variable Tire Pressure, Enhanced Vehicle, MoreRealistic, Mud System Physics, Tractor Terrain Dynamics, and AutoDrive seamlessly without modifying or disabling these mods.
Objective: Enhance realism and efficiency in gameplay.
Features:
Tire pressure management: with AutoDrive / Courseplay, deflate in fields and inflate on roads; manual control in Automatic or Manual mode.
Differentials (Enhanced Vehicle): rear locks at 15% slip, front at 30% (adjustable), 2WD only on asphalt and concrete, 4WD elsewhere.
AUTO / MANUAL mode (Right Ctrl + Up arrow): in MANUAL, you control diff locks and 2WD/4WD; engaged locks are never released, causing the tractor to slide during turns; switch back to AUTO with AutoDrive / Courseplay.
Real drivetrain physics for each machine (after MoreRealistic): combines, forage harvesters, and 2WD vehicles have their own HUD icons, only driven axles lock, with full steering.
Steering: 90% in 4WD; locks release when wheels turn and are refused with a “Straighten the wheels” alert.
Grip (MoreRealistic): wet ground loss with 5 levels, VTP field bonus capped (+15%, +20% with duals), diff-lock bonus, Tire Wear physics considering worn tires (slick effect on roads).
Dual wheels: real width used by Mud System Physics, improving grip on wet ground.
Rear (BKT 650/65R42) and front (BKT 540/65R30) dual-wheel racks: mounting tires individually (15 minutes per tire).
AutoDrive adjusts speed based on terrain (field, track, road), in 2 km/h steps.
Display: shows speed range, top view of tractor next to speedometer, slip of each wheel (turning does not count), blocks movable with mouse.
Sleep timer: set hours (+0 to +23) and days (+0 to +7), wake-up at 8 am with days counted.
Other vehicles’ lights are visible 5 times farther and twice as bright (adjustable).
Mud physics: MSP ? TTD bridge (no double resistance), wet paths drivable.
Mud tracks are preserved with savegames; muddy tires stay dirty for 1 hour of driving.
Implement physics: stay stationary when stopped; mud also affects trailers and implements.
Mod conflicts are managed by AutoSwitch (no longer need ModMixer).
Sowing: seed protection, filling with lid closed, re-sowing on crushed strips.
Grass trampled by wheels regrows depending on speed and moisture.
Racks: place racks, park tractor in green rectangle (well placed), on foot, press Right Ctrl + I at yellow marker to unmount; remove empty racks. Duals must be same brand as tractor tires, for single-player only.
Settings: Settings > General > AutoSwitch.
Required mods include: Variable Tire Pressure, Enhanced Vehicle, AutoDrive, Courseplay, MoreRealistic + XML Databank, Mud System Physics 1.3.6, Tractor Terrain Dynamics 1.0.3.7 (KingMods beta, original zip name accepted, only one TTD), DynamicDrive Pro, Real Physics Tire Wear 1.2.2.67, Realistic Harvesting, Moisture System.
If a mod is outdated, AutoSwitch will not start and will notify in-game; missing enabled mods in savegame are also reported.
