FS25 Split Brakes V1.1

This mod adds split brakes to each tractor, allowing the rear wheels to be braked independently. In reality, many old as well as modern tractors have such brakes.

The use of split brakes is particularly helpful when transporting heavy loads, when the tractor becomes too light on the front axle and is difficult to steer over the front wheels. In such cases, the tractor can be turned around the blocked wheel by selectively braking a rear wheel.

This mod is a real must-have, especially for short manoeuvring work or forestry work. The split brake can be used up to a speed of 15 km/h. For an even better and more realistic driving experience, we recommend setting the gear shift mode to manual.

Hotkeys:
– Left split brake: Alt + Numpad 1
– Right split brake: Alt + Numpad 3

V1.1.0.0
– Fixed an issue where the vehicle would not move when Split Brakes were applied
– Fixed an issue where the RPM would not drop
– Enabled smoother braking
– Optimized parameters for realistic physics

It's great to see the addition of split brakes to each tractor in this mod. Split brakes are indeed commonly found on tractors, both old and modern, and they offer significant advantages in various situations, as you described.

The ability to brake the rear wheels independently proves invaluable when dealing with heavy loads that may cause the front axle to become too light for effective steering. Being able to selectively brake a rear wheel to pivot the tractor around a blocked wheel can make maneuvering tasks much easier and safer, especially in tight spaces or forestry work scenarios.

The improvements and fixes in version 1.1.0.0 of the mod are particularly noteworthy. Addressing issues where the vehicle wouldn't move or the RPM wouldn't drop when split brakes were applied shows a commitment to enhancing realism and functionality. Smoother braking and optimized parameters for realistic physics further contribute to an improved driving experience for players using the mod.

Providing hotkeys for activating the left and right split brakes is a thoughtful addition, enhancing the accessibility and ease of use for players. The recommendation to pair the mod with manual gear shifting for a more immersive gameplay experience is a nice touch, highlighting the potential for more advanced and engaging simulation gameplay.

Overall, this update appears to enhance the functionality and realism of the split brakes mod, making it a valuable addition for players looking to add depth and authenticity to their tractor operations in the game.
