What this mod does

• When the game starts, it changes all “motorized” and “controllable” vehicles on the map to default settings: wheel drive mode to “all-wheel (4WD)” and deactivation of both differentials.
• Press Ctrl+Numpad / to open the config dialog.
• Press R Shift+Home to enable the snap to direction or snap to track assistant.
  • Press & hold R Shift+Home one second or longer to disable the snap & track assistant completely.
• Press R Ctrl+End to keep your vehicle driving in the current direction or on the current track.
  • Press R Ctrl+Home to reverse snap/track direction (e.g. to turn around at end of field).
• Press R Ctrl+Numpad 2 to calculate a track layout based on current vehicle direction and implement working width.
  • If you now enable snap mode the vehicle will drive on the current marked track.
  • Press R Ctrl+Numpad 4/6 to adjust the turnover track number (from -5 to 5).
  • Configure headland behavior in configuration menu or via keys.
• Press R Ctrl+Numpad 1 to (re-)calculate the working width. This will not change the current track layout.
• Press Numpad Enter to put your vehicle in parking mode. It won’t move an inch in this mode.
• On HUD it displays:
  • (When snap/track is enabled) The current snap to angle and current track and turnover number.
  • Damage values in % for controlled vehicle and all its attachments.
  • Fuel fill level for Diesel/AdBlue/Electric/Methane and the current fuel usage rate1.
  • The overall kilometer counter of the vehicle or the current trip kilometer.
  • The current status of the differential locks and wheel drive mode.
  • The current engine RPM and temperature1.
  • The current mass of the vehicle and the total mass of vehicle and all its attachments and loads.
• Keybindings can be changed in the game options menu.

In multiplayer games, all clients, except the host, won’t display the fuel usage rate and engine temperature correctly due to GIANTS Engine limitations

Version 1.1.5:
* Some code/performance optimizations here and there and fix for bug #59 (thanks to DeckerMMIV)
* Ability to rotate in 0.25 degrees, instead of 90 degrees (thanks to DeckerMMIV)
* Display value of compass direction aligned to be the same as the base-game’s mini-map (thanks to DeckerMMIV)
* Made rotation input-action repeatable similar to when setting width/offset of track (thanks to DeckerMMIV)
* Reordered the “showLines” sequence: hidden -> yellow -> yellow & red -> red -> hidden (thanks to DeckerMMIV)
