I do not reuse code Removing vanilla features takes dozens of hours, while Giants does it in minutes Many equipment models are not accurate (e.g., APE50’s CVT, Aprilia 125’s horsepower, Landini REX4 version, spreader models, etc.) Most vehicles share the same engine in the base game, which diminishes realism MR25 aims to bring a much more authentic farming vehicle experience, focusing on physics and handling.
