FS17 mods / Farming Simulator 17 mods

What does this mod do? This specific mod adds realism to the harvesting process.
Your combine will no longer be able to harvest at full speed in dense crops.
The speed is automatically limited based on the thresher load.

Key Features:
Realistic Load Calculation: The denser the crop and the wider the header, the slower the combine moves.
Info HUD: A compact display near the speedometer showing current Load.
Crop Loss System (Beta version visual only): If you push too hard, you might lose some yield (can be disabled).
Difficulty Modes: Choose your playstyle in the game settings (ESC -> settings tab):

Arcade: Minimal speed restrictions. For relaxed gameplay.
Normal: Balanced experience. You will feel the weight of heavy crops like corn or wheat.
Realistic: For simulation fans. Speed is strictly limited by the combine’s physical capacity.

Version 1.3:
* Settings Persistence: Fixed bug where difficulty settings (Motor/Loss) were not saving correctly between game sessions
* Settings Storage: Moved settings to modSettings directory for better global persistence across save games
* Yield Monitor: Fixed yield display showing incorrect values ​​(now accurate ±5% with realistic noise)
* Throughput Indicator: Fixed T/h (tons per hour) indicator – now functional and displays real-time harvesting rate
* HUD Position: Adjusted HUD placement to be slightly higher on the screen for better visibility
* Nexat Compatibility: Fixed HUD not displaying correctly when using Nexat modular harvester system
* Cutter Detection: Improved detection of when header is actually working vs just attached (prevents speed limits when header is raised)
* Mass Based Calculation: Engine load now based on actual harvested mass instead of theoretical crop area
* Conservative Start: Added 7 km/h initial speed limit when starting to harvest (prevents immediate overload)
* Crop Factors: Rebalanced difficulty factors for various crops based on real world harvesting speeds
* Performance: Optimized load calculations for smoother gameplay
