Thank you for sharing the details about the updates to the Advanced Damage System in FS25 v0.8.4.5 and v0.8.4.6! It's great to see the continued development and improvement of the vehicle maintenance system in the game.

In v0.8.4.5, the addition of in-game settings to configure the thermal model allows players to have more control over heat generation and dirt influence, making the gameplay experience more customizable. The adjustments to the wear penalty for operating on a cold engine and the warning message for high RPM on a cold engine add more depth to the strategic aspect of vehicle maintenance.

Furthermore, the condition requirement for Overhaul being lowered to below 50% makes this feature more accessible to players, encouraging them to manage their vehicles' condition more actively.

In v0.8.4.6, the fix for the bug related to the "cold engine" warning on electric vehicles, as well as the decision to disable the thermal model for these vehicles, shows a thoughtful approach to balancing the mechanics for different types of vehicles in the game. This ensures a more realistic and consistent gameplay experience for players using electric vehicles.

Overall, the Advanced Damage System in FS25 seems to be shaping up to provide players with a more immersive and challenging vehicle maintenance experience, encouraging strategic decision-making and careful maintenance of their machinery.
