Description
Tired of starting an engine with a single key press? This mod turns ignition into a realistic sequence, just like a real diesel.
**π§ MULTI-STAGE STARTING**
- Short press of the engine key: ignition ON (the dashboard powers up).
- Glow plug pre-heating with a HUD indicator next to the speedometer that changes color as it heats up.
- Pre-heat time depends on temperature: in deep winter it can take up to 25 seconds; with a warm engine or in summer it's nearly instant.
- Hold the key to crank. Crank before the glow plugs are ready and the engine may cough, fail to start, and take slight damage.
- After a cold start the engine idles for a few seconds before responding to the throttle.
**π COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM (trucks)**
- HUD pressure gauge showing tank pressure.
- The compressor builds air while the engine runs (timings calibrated with real truck data).
- Pressure bleeds off while parked: leave the truck sitting and you'll need to build air back up before leaving.
- Realistic air brakes: run out of pressure and the spring brakes engage, locking the truck in place β just like real life, you don't lose your brakes, you get stuck!
- Audible low-pressure warning buzzer.
**βοΈ FEATURES**
- Keyboard and gamepad compatible. Uses the vanilla engine key, no new keybindings.
- Multiplayer and dedicated server support.
- Sounds: low-pressure buzzer, failed-start cough, air release.
- Configurable via console rdsConfig command): toggle damage, air system, and adjust timings.
- Repositionable HUD rdsHudPos command).
- Translated to Spanish, English and German.
- AI workers are not affected.
