Dynamic PTO speed V1.1.3.3

Dynamic PTO Speed brings realistic PTO dynamics to tractors by adapting implement working speed directly to engine speed. The mod includes dynamic PTO behavior, hand throttle control, HUD features, multiplayer synchronization and compatibility with LS25.

Features

• Live calculation: 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 and AUTO set the target. 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, such as 1000 RPM for large balers and mower combinations, or 540 RPM for round balers and tedders.
• Front and rear PTO: Independent detection of front and rear PTOs with seamless switching using Ctrl + Alt + E.
• Mowers and choppers react directly to the throttle and reach maximum throughput at high engine speed.
• Balers and forage wagons operate proportionally to the engine speed. An integrated overload and stalling system for balers provides additional realism.
• Conveyor belts and overload wagons transport material according to the engine speed.
• 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 HUD: The HUD can be moved with Ctrl + P and hidden with Alt + H. Positions are saved automatically.
• Completely compatible with LS25 and fully multiplayer-ready, including synchronization.
• Available in German and English.
• Compatible with AutoDrive, Courseplay, QuickVehicleSelect and Realistic Harvesting.
• The F1 help adapts dynamically.
• Included: Mod structure with modDesc.xml and Lua scripts, a sample implement XML and a HUD overlay.

  Intelligent PTO Warning SystemOn-Screen Warning Messages
  Clear warnings now appear in the centre of your screen when needed:Warnings remain visible until the PTO speed returns to the correct operating range, helping you keep an eye on your equipment while working.

  Dedicated Server and Multiplayer SyncFixes and Improvements

  • Smaller, cleaner HUD with a dark background and green Dynamic PTO RPM header.
  • New icons for engine status, PTO gear, operating status and road mode.
  • Live RPM, selected gear, operating status and rev bar remain fully functional.
  • Warning triangle appears when something isn’t right.
  • Detects PTO speed too low or too high, baler overload, tractor stall and insufficient horsepower.
  • RPM display changes colour when a warning is active, making problems easier to spot.
  • PTO TOO LOW
  • PTO TOO HIGH
  • BALER OVERLOAD
  • TRACTOR STALLED
  • NOT ENOUGH HP
  • Hand throttle now synchronises correctly between players.
  • Behaviour settings are synchronised across multiplayer.
  • Players joining an existing session receive the current RPM and settings instead of starting with outdated values.
  • Engine-Off RPM Fix: RPM now correctly drops to 0 when the engine is switched off, instead of getting stuck at the idle reading, such as 386 RPM.
  • Low-Speed PTO Detection: Activating the PTO while the shaft is stopped or running too slowly now triggers the appropriate warning.
  • Improved Gear-Speed Detection: The low-speed warning remains active until the PTO reaches the required speed for the selected gear.
