Update 1.0.2.12

In addition to numerous bug fixes, this update introduces a handful of new features to the game, which will especially improve your gaming experience inside the vehicle.

As you know, you or your employees can get stuck in very wet fields. Especially during harvesting when full loader wagons are moved. To make it more authentic, all tractors and harvesters have received differential lock options, which, in case your wheels start spinning, can be activated in the radial menu. Please note that with this change all-wheel drive is deactivated by default.

A new suspension system provides more dynamics and a significantly improved driving experience in the tractor and on the field. The seat and cab suspension ensure soft balancing and some trailing. In addition, the different soil types also provide different suspension characteristics. The option of whether the cab camera also moves with the suspension can be turned on and off in the gameplay settings.

In addition, a manual H-shift is now available, for which each gear can be bound in the controls assignments.

Furthermore, an option has been added that enables head tracking only in the vehicle. The financial statistics were extended by more time periods and the Polish translation was completely improved and repaired. Another statistic has been added to the field menu with the surface wetness , at the same time the ground condition and grain colors in the map visualization have been improved.

As always, a complete list of all changes can be found in the changelog.

Changelog

NEW

• Differential locks added
• Surface wetness is displayed in the field menu
• Seat suspension in vehicles: Vehicle seats react dynamically to the ground. By default, the indoor camera moves with the suspension. This can be deactivated in the options menu under "Move camera with seat suspension".
• Ground influence on driving behavior: the acre now has more influence on the vehicle suspension by being slightly more uneven. Different types of fields (plowed, cultivated, sown, ...) have different intensities.
• Manual H gear shift and clutch in vehicles, with pedal animation
• Head tracking options: "Head tracking only in vehicles" and "Prevent camera movement by other devices”
• Financial statistics: more time frames added
• Polish translation completely overhauled

• Field menu: bar colors of fruit and field type now correspond to those displayed in the minimap (differences in brightness will be fixed later)
• Scenario 4: Deutz no longer rolls onto the field and blocks the Tucano
• AI doesn’t choose driving targets behind him as starting points
• When starting a fertilizer application, the full required amount of fertilizer plus 10% tolerance is purchased instead of only 1,000 liters
