Adds a periodic vehicle inspection system (HU) to Farming Simulator 25 for all vehicles with a license plate, including tractors, trucks, cars, trailers, harvesters, auger wagons and more. Every vehicle with an actual license plate mounted automatically receives an inspection interval based on its vehicle class, speed or permissible gross weight.
Features
- Car and motorcycle: every 24 months.
- Truck: every 12 months.
- Tractor up to 40 km/h: every 24 months.
- Tractor above 40 km/h: every 12 months.
- Trailer up to 10 t: every 24 months.
- Trailer above 10 t: every 12 months.
- Once an inspection is due, the vehicle is marked “Due” or “Overdue” but remains drivable and fully usable for roleplay without limiting gameplay.
- The inspection station has its own tab in the pause menu with a green clock icon and the full vehicle register across all farms.
- All classes, thresholds and over 60 vehicle categories can be adjusted in
huSettings.xmlwithout coding. - All settings and inspection data are saved with the savegame and continuously synchronized between server and players.
Initial setup
In the game settings under “Vehicle Inspection”, two roles can be assigned. Both roles are admin-only, saved with the savegame and synchronized to every player.
- Inspection farm: may perform inspections and renew inspection dates.
- Decommissioning authority: may decommission a vehicle or revoke it.
Using the inspection station
Select a vehicle in the inspection station tab, then use the following controls:
[Enter]Perform inspection, renewing the inspection to the full interval. Inspection farm only.[C]Decommission or recommission the vehicle. Decommissioning authority only.[X]Change the sort order by validity, farm or defect notice.[I]Individual interval, setting a custom inspection interval for the selected vehicle: Default, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24 or 60 months. This is independent of the automatic class calculation and is useful for special cases or vehicles meant to look “used”. The current value is shown in the bottom right, and the key can be freely rebound. Inspection farm only.
Vehicle classes and intervals
The system is modeled after real German inspection regulations (§ 29 StVZO) as a game-balanced approximation and is not legal advice. Inspection intervals are based on the vehicle class, speed or permissible gross weight.
Multiplayer
All settings and inspection data are saved with the savegame and continuously synchronized between server and players.
