Advanced Damage System v0.8.4.5

Advanced Damage System v0.8.4.5

The Advanced Damage System is a complete overhaul of the vehicle maintenance system, transforming it into a deep and strategic gameplay experience.

Version 0.8.4.5
Game settings have been added to configure the thermal model.
The default values ​​have been adjusted to reduce heat buildup and dirt impact.
The wear penalty when the engine is cold has been reduced.
A warning message is now displayed when the engine is running at high rpm.
Overhaul is now only available for vehicles with a health below 50%.
IMPORTANT: All mod settings will be reset to their default values ​​with this update.

Forget the simple “Repair” button—now every tractor requires a thoughtful approach.

A big thank you to Frvetz (https://github.com/Frvetz), the developer of the “Realistic Damage System” mod for FS22, for allowing us to
use ideas from his mod and for supporting us during the early development phase.
A big thank you also to Derwen Modding for testing the early builds.

Main Features
Two new parameters: Condition (total mechanical wear) and Maintenance (consumables). Poor maintenance accelerates wear, and poor condition leads to failures.
Dynamic Breakdowns: Dozens of malfunctions affecting the engine, transmission, brakes, and hydraulics. Breakdowns progress in several stages and worsen over time if left unchecked.
Realistic Temperature Simulation: Overheating of the engine or transmission reduces performance or leads to critical failures in older equipment.
Brand Uniqueness: Vehicles differ in reliability (affects wear rate, breakdown probability, and service intervals) and serviceability (affects service costs and time).
New Workshop System:
Part Selection: Choose between reliable original parts or cheaper aftermarket parts that carry a certain risk of failure.
Inspection: Detects hidden faults.
Maintenance: Restores service status.
Repair: Fixes specific, identified breakdowns.
Overhaul: Partially restores the vehicle’s overall condition.
