It's great to see the goals and features of the REA COG mod in FS25! Focusing on realism and enhancing the customization of vehicles for different tasks can add a new level of depth and immersion to the gameplay experience.

The approach of adjusting the center of gravity based on the position of the wheels' axis and radius is a smart move to simulate the realistic handling of vehicles. By taking into account the distribution of weight and the relationship between the wheels and center of mass, players will need to consider these factors when operating vehicles in the game.

The implementation of the wheel width and twin wheels affecting stability is a practical addition to the mod. This mechanic introduces a strategic element where players can choose the appropriate tires based on their desired stability level for different tasks or terrains. The trade-off between stability and maneuverability adds a layer of decision-making that can enhance the gameplay experience.

It's also commendable that the mod aims to be universal, supporting multiplayer and dedicated servers without requiring changes to the XML files, making it easier for players to incorporate into their game environment.

Overall, the REA COG mod seems like a promising addition to FS25, offering a more immersive and realistic vehicle customization experience that can challenge players to adapt their strategies based on the physics and mechanics implemented in the mod.
