CSC Compatibility HUD V1.0

CSC Compatibility HUD — Slim Bars brings a bit of old-school personality to your machines with a clean, conflict-safe overlay and subtle simulation: Battery & Alternator: Starting attempts and sitting with the engine off slowly drain the battery. Once the engine is running, the alternator engages and recovers charge over time (faster after a couple of minutes of runtime). Thermal Model: Engine Temp uses a smooth simulation that rises with sustained RPM and load and cools toward ambient at idle. Push too hard and a flashing OVERHEAT warning tells you to ease up. Power: Tracks live engine load, so you’ll see it climb under work and settle at idle. Coal: Increases with wear, operating hours (age), and current load—older, tired tractors “roll more coal,” especially under heavy draft. Clean HUD: Compact bracket bars with percentages; no basegame files are replaced. Conflict-safe: Read-only; it doesn’t patch vehicles or scripts, so it plays well with other gameplay mods and custom tractors. Savegame-friendly: Can be added or removed at any time. Controls F9 — Toggle display: Off → Vehicle-Only → Always Left Ctrl + . — Move to the next corner Left Ctrl + R — Reset position (bottom-left) and mode (Vehicle-Only) Tips Let engines warm up before heavy fieldwork; hard pulls will raise Temp over a minute or two. If bars disappear, press Left Ctrl + R. Each vehicle tracks its own battery/temp, so machines may show different values by design. Requirements / Compatibility Works with base game and modded vehicles. Pure script HUD; no map or vehicle XML edits required.
