Dynamic PTO speed FS25

Dynamic PTO Speed (Dynamic PTO) This mod brings realistic dynamics to your tractor’s PTO! Instead of a fixed PTO speed, the working speed of all implements adapts directly to the engine speed. The higher the engine revs, the faster mowers, choppers, balers or conveyor belts operate. This creates a natural working experience close to real farming. --- ⚙️ Main Features & Hand Throttle Live calculation: The PTO speed is calculated in real time from the current engine speed and the tractor’s gearing. Precise hand throttle: The engine no longer automatically revs up to maximum speed. The modes (540, 540E, 1000, 1000E + AUTO) set the target. The engine speed can be fine-tuned with `Ctrl + Up / Down` and is saved when exiting. Real manufacturer data: A database automatically detects the correct speed (e.g. 1000 RPM for large balers/mower combinations; 540 RPM for round balers/tedders). Front & rear: Independent detection of front and rear PTOs with seamless switching using `Ctrl + Alt + E`. --- 🚜 Dynamic Implement Behavior Mowers & choppers: React directly to the throttle and reach maximum throughput at high engine speed. Balers & forage wagons: Operate proportionally to the engine speed. An integrated overload and stalling system for balers provides additional realism. Conveyor belts & overload wagons: Transport material precisely according to the engine speed. --- 🖥️ HUD & Convenience Smart display: The compact in-cab HUD shows engine speed, PTO RPM, mode and status. It only appears when an implement is attached and automatically hides in menus. Mouse control: The control panel can be opened with a key to select modes directly. The mouse is released again immediately after closing. Customizable: The HUD can be moved with `Ctrl + P` and hidden with `Alt + H`. Positions are saved automatically. --- 💻 Technology & Compatibility Full support: Completely compatible with LS25, fully multiplayer-ready (including synchronization) and available in German and English. No conflicts: Fully compatible with AutoDrive, Courseplay, QuickVehicleSelect and Realistic Harvesting. The F1 help adapts dynamically. Included: Mod structure (`modDesc.xml` + Lua scripts), sample implement XML and HUD overlay.
Bugs fixed and stability improvements
🆕 Newly Added Hand Throttle Added a new hand throttle system for PTO control. The engine no longer automatically revs up to maximum speed when the PTO is engaged. Selecting 540 / 540E / 1000 / 1000E now sets the corresponding target PTO speed. PTO speed can be fine-tuned using Ctrl + Up / Ctrl + Down. The selected PTO speed is saved when exiting the vehicle. The hand throttle can be enabled or disabled via: ESC → Settings → Hand Throttle 🛠️ Fixed PTO implement detection: Fixed an issue where the Case IH LB436 HD was incorrectly detected as a 540 RPM implement. The LB436 HD is now correctly recognized as a 1000 RPM implement. 1000 / 1000E modes remain available when using a tractor that supports them. Mouse & HUD: Fixed an issue where mouse control was incorrectly hijacked from other mods, including: AutoDrive, Courseplay, QuickVehicleSelect, and Realistic Harvesting. The mouse cursor now only appears when the Dynamic PTO panel is open. The mod only hides the mouse cursor if it was the one that originally displayed it. Engine speed: Fixed an issue where the engine would automatically rev to maximum speed upon PTO engagement. Selecting 540 / 540E / 1000 / 1000E now correctly affects both engine and PTO speeds. Fixed a PTO HUD issue where pressing Ctrl + Up / Ctrl + Down changed the PTO speed without updating the value displayed in the HUD. The HUD now updates correctly when the PTO speed is adjusted.
Added Automatic 540 / 540 ECO / 1000 / 1000 ECO selection based on the attached implement. Front and rear PTO implement detection. Dynamic PTO RPM based on engine speed and the tractor's original PTO ratio. New in-cab PTO HUD with RPM, PTO speed and status. Selectable AUTO / 540 / 540E / 1000 / 1000E modes. HUD only appears when the attached implement actually requires PTO. Alt + H to show/hide the HUD. New OPEN button for PTO controls. Mouse control is only enabled while the PTO button panel is open. CLOSE button to close the panel and release the mouse. HUD and F1 controls now update when PTO keybinds are changed. Dual PTO support with FRONT / REAR follow selection. Ctrl + Alt + E to switch between FRONT and REAR. New Dynamic PTO RPM settings for: Auto PTO Show HUD Attach popups Safety warnings Dynamic output Baler overload Debug log ECO ratio 1000 RPM power threshold Minimum / maximum output HUD position reset PTO attach notifications and safety warnings. Baler overload and stall detection. Implement database based on real manufacturer PTO specifications. Improved 1000 RPM detection for large square balers, triple mowers, large loader wagons, power harrows, chippers and chasers. Improved 540 RPM detection for round balers, small square balers, tedders, rakes and alpine wagons. English and German language support. Multiplayer synchronization for PTO mode, AUTO and FRONT / REAR selection. Updated F1 help controls. Fixed Dedicated servers no longer display the HUD or settings overlays. 1000 RPM implements are no longer incorrectly forced to 540 RPM by Giants XML values. PTO detection now follows real manufacturer specifications when XML ptoRpm values are below 750. Fixed Case IH LB436 HD being detected as 540 RPM instead of 1000 RPM. Fixed Kuhn GMD 8730 / GMD 3123 F being detected as generic 540 RPM mowers. Fixed Samasz KDD 941 being detected as 540 RPM instead of 1000 RPM. Fixed large square balers being forced to 540 RPM by generic baler detection. Fixed the PTO HUD not opening correctly. Fixed Ctrl + P hiding the HUD when opening the controls. Fixed the HUD button row disappearing during mouse control. Fixed false PTO conflicts between front and rear equipment. Fixed two PTO implements locking out PTO control. FRONT / REAR follow can now be selected. Fixed settings showing OFF when saved as ON. Fixed HUD reset not working correctly and taking control of the mouse in the pause menu. Fixed the HUD disappearing behind the F1 / driving HUD. Fixed F1 keybinds not updating after changing controls. Fixed the mouse remaining active while the compact HUD is displayed. CLOSE and the PTO HUD key now correctly release mouse control.

Stability improvements and better visibility
Stability improvements and bug fixes. Important: the mod is currently not multiplayer-compatible. We are working on a version that can also be used in multiplayer.
