FS25 REA Wheels V1.0.1

Compatibility: This mod has been automatically adapted to be more compatible with newer game versions.

The goal of this mod is to make the game feel more realistic and
customizing the vehicle for the task more rewarding.
The goal is to make the mod universal.
This mod supports multiplayer and dedicated servers.
No changes in XML is needed. Some data from XML is overwritten!

In the base game many vehicles does not take tiretype into consideration making for example the Manitou MC18 Forklift recive the same tire friction as a tractor.
This mod fill the missing data based on tiretrack index making it universal.
Different tiretypes now act completely different on different ground types and suffers differently on rain and sinking into the ground.

This mod supports the 4 standard tiretypes: MUD, STREET, OFFROAD and CRAWLERS!
Calculates friction based on size of tire making wide tires, duals and tracks worth the money for heavy fieldwork but the narrows suffers making it ideal for easier tasks in later growth state.
Tire friction is calculated using width and radius.
Track friction is calculated using width and track lenght.
Adds rolling and sideway resistance meening:
– More wheel load, small tires and soft ground = more force needed for pulling or pushing.
– Less wheel load, large tires and hard ground = less force needed for pulling or pushing.
– Front axel is no longer by default locked when a frontloader is attached.
– Deformation of tires is increased.

Added support for “REA Dynamic dirt”, driving into standing water created by “REA Dynamic dirt” decrease friction and increase sink of wheels.

This mod is designed to enhance realism and customization in the game by making vehicular tasks more rewarding. It focuses on universal compatibility, supporting multiplayer and dedicated servers without requiring XML modifications, as it overwrites some data from the XML files.

One of the key aspects addressed by the mod is the differentiation of tire types, which ensures that vehicles behave realistically based on the surface they are driving on. By filling in missing data based on tire track index, the mod ensures that different tire types exhibit distinct behaviors on various ground types, such as experiencing different levels of grip, impact from rain, and sinking into the ground.

The four standard tire types—MUD, STREET, OFFROAD, and CRAWLERS—are fully supported, with friction calculated based on tire size, rewarding players for investing in wide tires, duals, or tracks for heavy fieldwork while making narrower tires more suitable for less demanding tasks or later crop stages. The friction calculations consider tire width, radius, and track length, influencing the force required for pulling or pushing based on factors like wheel load, tire size, and ground conditions.

Additionally, the mod introduces rolling and sideways resistance aspects, altering the gameplay dynamics based on factors like wheel load, tire size, ground hardness, and deformation of tires. Notably, the default locking of the front axle when a front loader is attached is no longer in effect, providing a more nuanced driving experience.

Furthermore, the mod integrates support for the "REA Dynamic dirt" feature, enhancing immersion by affecting tire friction and sinkage when driving into standing water generated by the dynamic dirt system. Overall, the mod's comprehensive adjustments aim to improve realism, immersion, and gameplay depth for players engaged in farming tasks within the game.
