Specifications
- Pressure bleeds off while parked
- leave the truck sitting and you'll need to build air back up before leaving
- Sounds
- low-pressure buzzer, failed-start cough, air release
Features
- *Realistic Diesel Start — Advanced Engine Start System**
- *🔧 MULTI-STAGE STARTING**
- Short press of the engine key: ignition ON (the dashboard powers up).
- Glow plug pre-heating with a HUD indicator next to the speedometer that changes color as it heats up.
- Pre-heat time depends on temperature: in deep winter it can take up to 25 seconds; with a warm engine or in summer it's nearly instant.
- Hold the key to crank. Crank before the glow plugs are ready and the engine may cough, fail to start, and take slight damage.
- After a cold start the engine idles for a few seconds before responding to the throttle.
- *🚛 COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM (trucks)**
- HUD pressure gauge showing tank pressure.
- The compressor builds air while the engine runs (timings calibrated with real truck data).
- Realistic air brakes: run out of pressure and the **spring brakes** engage, locking the truck in place — just like real life, you don't lose your brakes, you get stuck!
- Audible low-pressure warning buzzer.
- *⚙️ FEATURES**
- Keyboard and gamepad compatible. Uses the vanilla engine key, no new keybindings.
- Multiplayer and dedicated server support.
- Configurable via console (`rdsConfig` command): toggle damage, air system, and adjust timings.
- Repositionable HUD (`rdsHudPos` command).
- Translated to Spanish, English and German.
- AI workers are not affected.
- *Credits:** the ignition/contact concept was inspired by the "Real Ignition" mod by Guner348.
Tired of starting an engine with a single key press? This mod turns ignition into a realistic sequence, just like a real diesel.
Made with passion for realistic farming simulation. 🚜
