What does this mod do? This specific mod adds realism to the harvesting process. Your combine will no longer be able to harvest at full speed in dense crops! The speed is automatically limited based on the thresher load.

Key Features:
Realistic Load Calculation: The denser the crop and the wider the header, the slower the combine moves.
Info HUD: A compact display near the speedometer showing current Load.
Crop Loss System (Beta version visual only): If you push too hard, you might lose some yield (can be disabled).
Difficulty Modes: Choose your playstyle in the game settings (ESC -> settings tab):

Arcade: Minimal speed restrictions. For relaxed gameplay.
Normal: Balanced experience. You will feel the weight of heavy crops like corn or wheat.
Realistic: For simulation fans. Speed is strictly limited by the combine’s physical capacity.

Settings:
Speed Limiting: Can be toggled off if you only want the visual info.
HUD: Can be hidden.

This mod sounds like a great addition to the realism of the harvesting process in FS25! The focus on adjusting the combine's speed based on the thresher load and crop density adds a new level of challenge and immersion to the game.

The inclusion of an Info HUD to display the current load level near the speedometer is a nice touch, providing players with quick and convenient feedback on their harvesting operations. The optional Crop Loss System also adds a risk-reward element to gameplay, making players consider their speed and efficiency more carefully.

The implementation of difficulty modes, ranging from Arcade for a more relaxed experience to Realistic for simulation enthusiasts, caters well to different playstyles and preferences. This level of customization is sure to enhance the overall gaming experience for a wide range of players.

The ability to toggle speed limiting on or off and hide the HUD provides further flexibility for players who may want to fine-tune their gameplay experience according to their preferences.

Overall, this mod seems like a well-thought-out and detailed addition to FS25, offering players a more immersive and challenging harvesting experience. I'm sure players will appreciate the attention to detail and realism that this mod brings to the game.
