FS25 Real Vehicle Breakdowns v0.9.5.6

The mod is still in beta.

Changelog 0.9.5.6:
– The difficulty setting has been moved to Gameplay Settings.
– You can now configure whether the vehicle workshop is open.
– Engine Load in HUD
– Engine wear below 50 °C is now based on engine load instead of speed: above 65 % load, wear increases until the engine reaches 50 °C
– Choose the vehicle’s power carefully. If the engine is underpowered, higher engine load can lead to increased engine wear
– Keep your vehicle clean! 100% dirt + 1 hour of operation = increased wear (engine, thermostat)
– github issues#118 – attempt to call missing method ‘getIsFaultBattery’
– github issues#116 – Version v0.9.5.5 does not detect the battery
– github issues#112 – Wear values too high
– github issues#110 – RVB does not read the correct tires damage from Use Up Your Tyres mod
– github issues#105 – Divide by zero error.
– github issues#40 – AI workers should automatically shutdown lights/beacons when the vehicle engine stops, fixed
– The following vehicles are “excluded” from RVB mode: https://github.com/MathiasHun/FS25_Real_Vehicle_Breakdowns_Beta/issues/114

The way the RVB menu opens has changed slightly compared to the FS22 version: Now it can only be accessible if you sit in a vehicle.
Vehicles can only be repaired on the basic vehicle workshop -Trigger.
This was implemented because many players had difficulty using the mod in FS22.
The generator of the vehicle only loads the battery if the engine runs at the idle speed.
The battery can also be charged at electrical charging stations. If the battery level drops to 10% or less, it can be charged in the vehicle workshop.
This version is only used for test purposes and errors can occur.

Recommended Dependencies (to avoid errors):
Wind Turbines Charging Station mod (i.e., FS25_electricChargeStation) – by HoT online Team
JCB E-tech Powerpack (i.e., FS25_JCB_Powerpack)

Thank you for sharing the changelog for version 0.9.5.6 of the Real Vehicle Breakdowns (RVB) mod for FS25. It's great to see the continuous development and improvements being made to enhance the realism and complexity of vehicle maintenance in the game.

The changes made in this version are quite significant and bring additional depth to the gameplay experience. Moving the difficulty setting to the Gameplay Settings makes it more accessible for players to adjust according to their preferences. The addition of the engine load in the HUD and the changes to engine wear based on load rather than speed add a new layer of strategy when selecting vehicles for specific tasks.

The emphasis on keeping vehicles clean to prevent increased wear adds a realistic touch to maintenance management. The fixes and improvements related to battery detection, wear values, and tire damage from other mods show the commitment of the developers to enhance the overall functionality of the mod.

The exclusion of certain vehicles from the RVB mode and the changes to the repair system in the basic vehicle workshop trigger aim to address player difficulties encountered in the previous version, helping to streamline the experience for a wider audience.

The detailed explanation of how the battery charging system works and the recommended dependencies further enrich the realism of managing vehicle maintenance in the game.

Overall, it's impressive to see the dedication to improving the mod and making it more user-friendly while maintaining a high level of realism. Players testing this version should provide valuable feedback to help refine and perfect the mod for future releases.
