FS25 Realistic Mechanical Systems BETA 4
Realistic Mechanical Systems, or RMS, adds mechanical simulation to Farming Simulator 25. The way you drive, the work your machines carry out and the maintenance you perform all affect fleet reliability, performance and costs.
Machines become older over time, so keeping up with maintenance is important.
Features
- Wear and breakdowns develop progressively. As many as eight separate mechanical systems are represented through the actual parts that can fail. The part that gives way is the part worn down by your use. Unusual sounds, fluctuating engine speed, smoke and reduced power show the condition of the machine.
- Engine temperature and operation are simulated. Cold conditions, workload, fouling and mechanical condition affect starting, warm-up and exhaust smoke. Newer diesel engines regenerate their particulate filters and can experience their own AdBlue failures.
- Transmission and parking brake functions include 2WD, 4WD and AUTO modes, along with differential locks for tractors. Every machine has a parking brake, which is automatic on newer CVTs and Powershifts.
- Electric machines have their own electric motor, traction battery and power electronics. Battery capacity decreases with age, while cold weather reduces range.
- Maintenance can be carried out on foot. Inspect levels, refill fluids, clean using the air blow gun and apply the grease gun. A filter that is heavily clogged has to be changed in the workshop.
- Charging and jump-start help are available with jump leads or the Telwin Doctor Charge 155 Connect on a trolley. You can recharge while working somewhere else, or select START to help with starting. Charging speed follows the speed of game time.
- The diagnostic tool is an optional part of the Telwin trolley and reads machine fault codes. A code shows what the machine is measuring, while an inspection finds the defective part. Farm and mobile workshops require this tool for electronic work.
- The complete workshop provides inspection, maintenance, repair, overhaul and repainting. Before work begins, compare the prices, durations and quality of original, aftermarket and used parts. The warranty lasts 24 months or until the hour limit, and extensions can be obtained when buying new.
- Reports, upcoming maintenance dates and repair history are available for consultation. Vehicle value is affected by age, operating hours and mechanical condition. Used machines can contain hidden defects, and their maintenance history can be checked at the dealership before purchase.
- Workers change how they drive when equipment is overloaded in order to protect it, including during use of Courseplay and AutoDrive.
- The mod supports singleplayer, multiplayer, dedicated servers and 27 languages.
RMS remains in the alpha phase. Feedback helps improve its systems and their balance.
