AutoSwitch

About this mod

Goal Make the farm feel more realistic and efficient by letting tire pressure, differential locks and traction work together without touching any of the other mods.

Features

• Tire pressure: deflates in the field when using AutoDrive or Courseplay and automatically reinflates on the road; manual mode allows automatic or manual handling, and the VTP auto‑re‑inflate at 30 km/h is disabled.
• Differentials (Enhanced Vehicle): front and rear lock once wheel slip exceeds a configurable threshold, unlock at half that value, stay 4WD in the field and switch to 2WD on roads, release while turning and reset on load.
• Grip (MoreRealistic): adds five levels of wet‑ground grip loss, gives a bonus when diffs are locked and respects tyre wear from Use‑Your‑Tyres.
• Dual wheels: real width is used by Mud System Physics, improving grip on wet soil, and VTP’s brand‑variant fix is applied.
• Dual‑wheel racks: rear BKT 650/65R42 (€4,500) and front BKT 540/65R30 (€3,500) appear in the shop and construction menu; mounting or unmounting each tyre takes 15 in‑game minutes and locks the tractor.
• Display: speed‑range recommendation and slip % appear next to the speedometer, with a slip‑warning indicator.
• Sowing: protects seeds, forces the seeder lid closed while filling and allows direct re‑sowing on crushed strips.
• Mud: on first launch the mod suggests optimal Mud System Physics + TTD settings.

Using the dual‑wheel racks

• Place the rear rack (and the front rack for the front axle) side by side.
• Park the tractor in the red rectangle; it turns green when positioned correctly.
• Stand on the yellow marker, press Right Ctrl + I and confirm.
• To unmount, repeat the steps with empty racks; the original tyres are restored.

Note: dual wheels must match the tractor’s tyre brand.

Required mods (all mandatory) FS25_VariableTirePressure, FS25_EnhancedVehicle, FS25_AutoDrive, FS25_Courseplay, MoreRealistic, moreRealisticXmlDatabank, FS25_MudSystemPhysics, FS25_TractorTerrainDynamics, FS25_DynamicDrivePro, FS25_useYourTyres, FS25_RealisticHarvesting, FS25_CropDestructionOverhaul, FS25_MoistureSystem.

Known limitations Wheel changes work only in single‑player and cause a short freeze while the tractor reloads (longer with implements attached). Tractors that lack a dual‑wheel configuration in their file cannot receive dual wheels.
