Dynamic PTO speed V1.1.3.2
Dynamic PTO Speed (Dynamic PTO)
This mod brings realistic dynamics to your tractor’s PTO! Instead of a fixed PTO speed, the working speed of all implements adapts directly to the engine speed. The higher the engine revs, the faster mowers, choppers, balers or conveyor belts operate. This creates a natural working experience close to real farming.
Main Features & Hand Throttle
Live calculation: The PTO speed is calculated in real time from the current engine speed and the tractor’s gearing.
Precise hand throttle: The engine no longer automatically revs up to maximum speed. The modes (540, 540E, 1000, 1000E + AUTO) set the target. The engine speed can be fine-tuned with `Ctrl + Up / Down` and is saved when exiting.
Real manufacturer data: A database automatically detects the correct speed (e.g. 1000 RPM for large balers/mower combinations; 540 RPM for round balers/tedders).
Front & rear: Independent detection of front and rear PTOs with seamless switching using `Ctrl + Alt + E`.
Dynamic Implement Behavior
Mowers & choppers: React directly to the throttle and reach maximum throughput at high engine speed.
Balers & forage wagons: Operate proportionally to the engine speed. An integrated overload and stalling system for balers provides additional realism.
Conveyor belts & overload wagons: Transport material precisely according to the engine speed.
HUD & Convenience
Smart display: The compact in-cab HUD shows engine speed, PTO RPM, mode and status. It only appears when an implement is attached and automatically hides in menus.
Mouse control: The control panel can be opened with a key to select modes directly. The mouse is released again immediately after closing.
Customizable: The HUD can be moved with `Ctrl + P` and hidden with `Alt + H`. Positions are saved automatically.
Technology & Compatibility
Full support: Completely compatible with LS25, fully multiplayer-ready (including synchronization) and available in German and English.
No conflicts: Fully compatible with AutoDrive, Courseplay, QuickVehicleSelect and Realistic Harvesting. The F1 help adapts dynamically.
Included: Mod structure (`modDesc.xml` + Lua scripts), sample implement XML and HUD overlay.
V1.1.3.2
General improvements and bug fixes. Missing ‘pto_warm_low_title’ in l10n_de.xml and missing ‘pto_warm_low’ in l10n_de.xml fixed in the German translation.
