Realistic CVT per brand: Fendt Vario and MF Dyna-VT with 2 manual ranges (field / road, change only at standstill); CVXDrive (Case IH, Steyr, New Holland), JD AutoPowr, CLAAS CMATIC, Deutz TTV, Valtra Direct and Kubota KVT with 4 automatic ranges and almost unnoticeable shifts.
Engine / transmission management Auto (economy, low rpm at transport speed) or Power, limit load, acceleration ramps 1-4.
Hand throttle with two rpm memories A / B (saved with the savegame), like real tractors.
Power-split efficiency: more losses in the hydrostatic part, which shows in pulling force and fuel use.
Engine under load: with the PTO working the engine drops a little instead of being locked at PTO rpm.
Hydraulics raise the engine rpm (tipping, loader, linkage, folding) and return to idle afterwards.
Own window (Left Alt + P): Transmission tab with live rpm and target, engine load, efficiency, hydrostatic share and a range strip; Settings tab (modules, which vehicles, CVT profile per brand, applied at once); Panel tab (on / off, text size, move with the mouse).
The CVT module turns itself off if CVT Addon, RealismAddon Gearbox or VCA is active.
Zasty HUD shows the range and the hand throttle; the panel hides when the HUD is active.
Multiplayer supported.
KEYS (default)
Left Alt + P: Real Powertrain window
Left Alt + Up / Down arrow: Hand throttle (hold)
These are the default keys. If one of them is already used by the game or by another mod, go to Options > Controls and set the key you prefer, to avoid conflicts.
V1.4.0.0
New: PTO by hand throttle
Turning on a PTO implement no longer locks the engine at PTO rpm. The engine stays at idle or at your hand throttle, and you set the rpm yourself with the hand throttle or the A/B memories.
Standard PTO (540/1000) needs about 85 – 95% of the tractors max rpm. Eco PTO (540E/1000E), about 70 – 75%, is used automatically for tedders, rakes and spreaders.
Rotors and PTO shafts turn with the engine rpm.
Below about 78% of the PTO rpm the implement works slower and a Low PTO rpm warning shows. The panel shows a PTO % chip.
On by default in Realistic mode, off in Arcade. It also has its own switch in Settings (Left Alt + P).
The AI helper keeps the games normal behaviour.
Compatibility
Real Vehicle Dynamics: keep speed and the games cruise control hold the speed again with both mods active.
