Multiplayer is in development; the mod is playable but may contain bugs. Take real control of your tractor’s traction with a fully switchable 4×4 traction system for compatible tractors, trucks, harvesters and cars.
Features
- Real rear-wheel slip detection. Automatic modes react to actual wheel-slip physics, not just speed.
- Four driving modes, assigned to each vehicle by default:
- Manual, always in control.
- Semi-automatic, engages with actual wheel slip, while manual control is always available.
- Automatic, the same logic adjusted for vehicles with factory-fitted automatic 4WD, CVT/IVT transmissions.
- Intelligent, continuous, proportional engagement in the Fendt style, without abrupt switching on/off.
- Native tyre-pressure simulation during engagement, with no dependency on any other mod.
- On-screen HUD with real-time status and adjustable position in the game Settings menu.
- Zero XML changes to any vehicle. The system integrates automatically into all compatible vehicles.
Changelog
V1.7.0.0
New
- In-game settings menu: Esc -> Settings -> General -> “4×4 Traction System”. HUD position and style, engage 4WD with implement lowered, disengage in tight turns, engage when braking, road speed limit, GPS prediction strength, locked centre torque bias, tyre pressure by hand, diagnostic log. Saved in
modSettings/FS25_4x4TractionSystem.xml, kept for all savegames and when the mod is updated. No more editing files inside the zip. - New minimalist HUD, optional by choosing “Icon” in the menu: the tractor seen from the side.
- Green wheel = wheel with traction. The rear is always green; the front wheel and the drive shaft turn green when 4WD engages, and are grey in 2WD.
- Padlocks = diff locks: on the rear hub, rear; on the transfer box, centre; and on the front hub, front.
- A wheel that is slipping flashes green/red, with each axle operating independently. Both wheels flash with low field pressure at road speed.
- Tyre pressure under each wheel, front / rear, in bar, on tractors with CTIS or pressure by hand.
- Shop picture of the tractor being driven next to the icon, which can be switched off.
- Text underneath: 4X4 / 2X4, mode and active locks. Three sizes.
- Move the HUD, panel or icon, with the mouse: Ctrl+Shift+N, drag with the left button, then right click / Esc / Enter to finish. The camera stays still while moving. The key can be changed in the Controls menu.
Note
- The new menu and icon texts are in English and Portuguese; other languages show English for now. Working on translations soon.
