FS25 FDR Logging mod pack v13.0
Update Notes – Version (13.0)
NEW MODS
– GUERRA IGSA 700 Processor Unit
– VNX Quad Bunk Truck
– Quad Bunk Trailer
– Rigid Grapple (S) in Tigercat Colors
– Rigid Grapple (X) in Tigercat Colors
– Rigid Grapple (Butt-n-Top) in Tigercat Colors
– Dangle Grapple (Dangle Clam) in Tigercat Colors
MOD CHANGES
– All Maps – Adjusted tree friction values: slightly less slippery and generally better handling
– All Maps – Slight increase in tree weight (minimal), necessary for correct sinking with the new, higher friction values
– All Skidders – Adjusted the weight of the grapple swing arm to reduce unwanted upward movement when using ratchet straps
– All Tracked Vehicles – Slight weight increase (by request), as the handling was still too unstable (“tipby”) for some
– All Grapples – Improved Response speed when opening and closing the grapple arms
– All rigid grapples – Holding force changed/improved to support the new tree physics
– All pendulum grapples – Improved grip on the trunks
– All processor units – Improved weight distribution and stability for better trunk control
– All processor units – Improved rotational resistance; rotating the unit and trunk is now significantly easier
– All buncher heads – Increased cutting area; while “pre-cutting” isn’t entirely realistic, it allows for a much smoother cut when cutting multiple trees
– All buncher heads – Softened the skid plate to allow for a gentler “push” into the trees when cutting
– All trucks – Reduced start-up speed and smoother acceleration for better control
– All trucks – Fixed an issue where trucks would get stuck when manually shifting into forward or reverse
– Tigercat 880 – Connecting piece color adjusted to match the new Tigercat grapple color
Version 12.0.0.0
NEW MODS
– TIGERCAT 822
– TIGERCAT 880 MIDNIGHT EDITION
– RETRACT GRAB (NOW BOTH LARGE AND SMALL VERSIONS OF THE SAME GRAB AVAILABLE; MUST BE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED)
MOD CHANGES
– ALL MAPS – ADJUSTED TREE FRICTION VALUES FOR BETTER TREES DELAY
– ALL MAPS – TREES WEIGHT REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY 60% DUE TO NEWLY DISCOVERED PHYSICS CHANGES
– ALL MODS – NEW, REDUCED WEIGHTS ON SOME MACHINES TO SUPPORT THE CHANGES TO THE WOOD WEIGHTS
– ALL MODS – CAMERA COLLISIONS REMOVED ON ALL OBJECTS TO PREVENT THE CAMERA FROM BLOCKING WHEN PANING
– ALL MODS – BLACK COLOR MADE DARKER ON ALL MACHINES
– ALL MODS – SOUND EFFECTS BALANCED ON SOME MACHINES
– ALL CHAIN MACHINES – WEIGHT REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY 35%, TO ACCOUNT FOR NEW TREES
– All Chainsaws – Significantly Less Prone to Tipping When Transporting Logs
– All Chainsaws – Improved Color Match Between Chains/Chassis and the New, Darker Black
– All Chainsaws – Light Positions Corrected (Centering of the First Light Set and Adjustment of the Second Set’s Angles)
– All Chainsaws – Improved Chain Sound Effects (Clearer “Click” of the Chain Links)
– All Chainsaws – Motor Volume Adjusted for a More Balanced Sound
– All Returns – NEW CONTROL MAPPING FOR MOVING REAR SUN RACKS
– ALL BACKSHEADS – INCREASED ACTIVATION HEIGHT FOR TENSION STRAPS TO SECURE HIGHER LOG STACKS
– TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – FIXED BUG WHERE THE TENSION STRAPS WERE NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE SUN RACKS AND FAILED TO GRIP OUTER LOGS
– TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – ADJUSTED AND IMPROVED SUN RACKS COLLISION
– TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – INCREASED SUN END HEIGHT
– TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – Increased weight and stiffer suspension
– CLARK 880 Forwarder – Additional option to adjust bunk positioning
– ALL SKIDDERS – Grabs close less aggressively; This works significantly better in combination with ratchet straps and when securing the load while driving.
– All Grabbers – New sound effects when reaching the end position (opening/closing)
– All Grabbers – Improved gripping physics for greater realism and more balanced force (less “overpowered” behavior)
– H-Grabber – Increased width for better stability when gripping logs
– WL-Grabber – Removed from the program due to recurring issues with the gripper geometry
– All Trucks – Wheel sinking disabled to prevent glitches and tires digging into the ground
– All Trucks – Optimized weight and gear ratios More power for smoother acceleration
– All trucks – Reduced reflections on the cab windows for better visibility
– All trucks – Stiffer suspension to reduce excessive sag under load
– All trucks – Increased headlight brightness for nighttime work
– All trucks – Maximum reverse speed increased by 5 units
– All trucks – Improved sound: Turbo spool-up sound added and idle noise corrected
– LOGGER MACK Super – Fixed interior texture/shader bug
– LOGGER VNX – Fixed interior texture/shader bug
– LOGGER VNX – Added rear headache rack (frequently requested) Air connection brackets moved forward to prevent collisions with logs
– All trailers – Weight adjustments and completely new wheel suspensions
– All trailers – Slight increase in friction on the stakes/supports to minimize log slippage
– Low loader – Weight and friction adjustments to prevent machinery from sliding off the trailer during transport
– Low loader – Increased tire grip to prevent slippage or jackknifing
– B-Train trailers – Front stake support moved forward to facilitate loading (more space)
– B-Train trailers – Collision zones adjusted so the pup trailer can lock onto the front of the main trailer when stacking trailers.
– B-Train pup trailers – New “Bending Molly” variant (flexible) added to replace the rigid version; overall trailer loading controls improved.
– All processors – Fixed a bug with the manual saw: It would accidentally collide with trees already in the head, interrupting the length measurement.
– All buncher heads – Improved grip for a smoother, more controlled feel when placing and moving felled trees.
– All buncher heads – Increased housing friction: No slippage when setting down, but ideal for jump turns.
– All buncher heads – New soft-push function when pushing through: The saw presses into the base of the log during the cut, providing a clean, firm grip.
– Mod Update 3.0 includes a new map called “Pelican Lake.”
– Many different areas for logging, swamps, and lush forests await you on your lumberjack adventures!
– Please watch the following video, which describes the changes in detail.
