FS25 Realistic Water & Soil Management (RWSM) V1.4.0.6
V1.4.0.6
– Rainstar Ground Support
– Two additional invisible GIANTS WheelPhysics contact points on the rear support legs.
Rainstar Parking Brake
– Additional holding force in work mode to prevent the drum from slipping during retraction.
Rainstar Rear Supports
– Rear supports act as braked reaction points upon contact with the ground.
Rainstar AutoReel
– Retraction system fundamentally overhauled.
– Old pretension/tension spring approach removed.
Rainstar Physics
– Only a single instance modifies the towing joint.
– Conflicts between multiple update routines resolved.
Rainstar Start-up Behavior
– Smoother start.
– Normal: approx. 3 s; Road Field: approx. 4.5 s.
Rainstar Hose Length
– Actual hose length used at start-up.
– No more artificial pretension.
Rainstar Joint
– Actual GIANTS ComponentJoint frame evaluated in real-time.
– Folding and working positions taken into account.
Rainstar PhysX
– Trolley remains physically active during retraction.
– PhysX sleep and stick-slip effects reduced.
Rainstar Retraction Speed
– Physical retraction speed limited and integrated smoothly.
Rainstar Hose Origin
– Physical origin fixed during retraction.
– Drum rotation no longer distorts the hose length.
Rainstar Distance Calculation
– Uses the fixed physical hose origin instead of the moving visible hose node.
Optima Speed
– Unrealistic initial speed of 900 m/h corrected.
– Current speed: 50 m/h.
Optima End Position
– Capture range reduced from 4.5 m to 2.5 m.
– Sprinkler trolley is pulled closer to the machine.
Optima Pump Cut-off
– Pump reliably switched off upon complete retraction.
– Multiple verification checks performed over 3 seconds. Optima Pump Status
– Pressure, flow rate, and pump status are reset immediately.
Optima Preview Security
– Node and transform access secured.
Optima Shop Configuration
– Temporarily missing nodes no longer reset the hose distance to 0.
Optima Sprayer
– Missing WorkArea parameters are restored during configuration changes.
Optima FillUnit
– Temporarily missing FillUnits no longer cause Lua errors.
Optima Groundwater
– Refilling only occurs when the vehicle is actually physically loaded.
Global Pump Control
– Removed.
– Pump settings can no longer be adjusted on foot or from another vehicle.
Weather Region
– Keyboard shortcut for changing regions removed.
– Selection now only via the settings menu.
Global Climate System
– Location system significantly expanded.
Countries and Administrative Units
– 39 countries
– 942 administrative units
– Federal states, states, cantons, etc.
Regional Subdivision
– North
– West
– Central
– East
– South
Old Savegames
– Old German weather regions are automatically migrated to the new system.
ERA5
– Infrastructure for real weather history (2016-2025) implemented.
ERA5 Data Status
– Data structure in place.
– The actual data for the 942 regions is not yet fully included.
– Climate fallback remains active.
5-Day Weather Forecast
– Persistent 5-day forecast added.
Weather in Savegame
– Location and five forecast days are saved.
– Large historical rainfall lists eliminated.
Weather on Loading
– Forecast is preserved and not re-randomized.
Region Change
– Old forecast is discarded and a new one generated to match the new region.
Climate Time
– In-game days per month are converted to real calendar days. Evaporation / ET0
– Now operates using climatically accurate time.
Rain / Snow / Hail
– Precipitation amounts are adjusted to real calendar time.
Drainage
– Drainage also utilizes the new climate time.
Dedicated Server
– The savegame directory is re-checked if provisioning is delayed.
– Prevents the save process from becoming permanently blocked.
Agronomy Savegame
– Yield model version and the time of the last calculation are saved.
Required mods:
– Precision Farming
– Visual Mud Tracks
