FS25 Realistic Vehicle Service V1.0

Realistic Vehicle Service adds manual engine starting, removable keys, warm-up behaviour, breakdown logic, a custom dashboard HUD, and a Field Rescue workflow.
Features:
– Manual key-based starting and removable ignition keys.
– Warm-up behaviour before heavy work.
– Breakdown and maintenance logic influenced by condition, storage exposure, cold weather and neglect.
– Recovery markers for yard, field service, and workshop destinations.
– Recovery services now use short animated transition scenes before the selected repair or towing action is completed.
Recovery workflow:
– Ctrl+Alt+I saves the yard/home recovery drop point.
– Ctrl+Alt+W saves the workshop repair drop point.
– Ctrl+Alt+Y saves the field-service point.
– Alt+U toggles the Field Rescue menu.
– Alt+Y runs field repair, Alt+J runs workshop repair when you are inside the workshop zone, Alt+I recovers the vehicle to the saved yard marker, and Alt+W tows it to the saved workshop marker.
This mod focuses on breakdown realism, maintenance, recovery choice, and vehicle ownership rather than instant base-game resets.

It sounds like the Realistic Vehicle Service mod for FS25 adds a lot of depth and realism to the vehicle gameplay experience in the game. Here's a breakdown of the key features and functionalities it introduces:

1. Manual Key-Based Starting and Removable Ignition Keys:
Players can manually start the engine using keys, adding an extra layer of immersion to the vehicle operation process. Additionally, the ability to remove ignition keys adds a realistic touch to vehicle ownership mechanics.

2. Warm-Up Behavior:
Before engaging in heavy work with the vehicles, there is warm-up behavior simulated in the mod. This adds a touch of realism to the gameplay, as vehicles in real life also require warm-up periods before optimal performance.

3. Breakdown and Maintenance Logic:
The mod introduces breakdown and maintenance logic influenced by various factors such as vehicle condition, storage exposure, cold weather, and neglect. This adds a strategic element to gameplay, requiring players to maintain their vehicles properly to avoid breakdowns.

4. Recovery Markers and Services:
Players can set recovery markers for yard/home, workshop repair, and field-service destinations. The mod also includes recovery services with short animated transition scenes for repair or towing actions, adding visual flair to the gameplay.

5. Recovery Workflow:
The mod provides hotkeys for saving recovery drop points (Ctrl+Alt+I for yard, Ctrl+Alt+W for workshop, Ctrl+Alt+Y for field-service), toggling the Field Rescue menu (Alt+U), and initiating specific recovery actions (Alt+Y for field repair, Alt+J for workshop repair, Alt+I for recovery to yard, Alt+W for towing to workshop).

Overall, Realistic Vehicle Service focuses on enhancing breakdown realism, maintenance mechanics, recovery choices, and vehicle ownership experience, offering players a more immersive and detailed gameplay environment compared to the base game's instant resets.
