Cold Start – Realistic Engine Behaviour v1.0.0.2
Cold Start – Realistic Engine Behaviour. Adds realistic cold start mechanics and dynamic engine temperatures to Farming Simulator 25.
Vehicles now start at the current ambient temperature, warm up during use, and retain heat after shutdown. Cold engines perform differently to fully warmed machines, adding more depth and realism to everyday gameplay without becoming frustrating.
Features
– Ambient temperature-based starts
– Dynamic engine warm-up system
– Heat retention after shutdown
– Reduced performance while cold
– Stall risk if pushed too hard when cold
– Weather-sensitive behaviour
– Multiplayer compatible
How It Works
– Cold engines need time to reach operating temperature before delivering full performance.
– Machines that have recently been used stay warmer after shutdown, making later restarts easier and more realistic.
– Cold mornings feel harsher, while warmer weather makes starting and running machinery easier.
Compatibility
– Works with motorized vehicles.
– Designed for both singleplayer and multiplayer. This mod is a WIP and will be updated as we go along. It has passed the initial testing phase.
V1.0.0.2
– This update brings some finishing touches to the way the mod behaves.
– Engine temperature will never drop below the ambient temperature of the map.
– Engines will now warm up no matter how far away you are from the vehicle. Start it and go do something else whilst it warms up!
– Cruise control bug fixed. Mod now does not effect cruise control at all.
– Electric vehicles now excluded.
