FDR Logging Mod Pack




Update Notes – Version (13.0)
=NEW MODS=
GUERRA IGSA 700 Processor Unit
VNX Quad Bunk Truck
Quad Bunk Trailer
Rigid Grapple (S) in Tigercat Colors
Rigid Grapple (X) in Tigercat Colors
Rigid Grapple (Butt-n-Top) in Tigercat Colors
Dangle Grapple (Dangle Clam) in Tigercat Colors
=MOD CHANGES=
All Maps – Adjusted tree friction values: slightly less slippery and generally better handling
All Maps – Slight increase in tree weight (minimal), necessary for correct sinking with the new, higher friction values
All Skidders – Adjusted the weight of the grapple swing arm to reduce unwanted upward movement when using ratchet straps
All Tracked Vehicles – Slight weight increase (by request), as the handling was still too unstable ("tipby") for some
All Grapples – Improved Response speed when opening and closing the grapple arms
All rigid grapples – Holding force changed/improved to support the new tree physics
All pendulum grapples – Improved grip on the trunks
All processor units – Improved weight distribution and stability for better trunk control
All processor units – Improved rotational resistance; rotating the unit and trunk is now significantly easier
All buncher heads – Increased cutting area; while "pre-cutting" isn't entirely realistic, it allows for a much smoother cut when cutting multiple trees
All buncher heads – Softened the skid plate to allow for a gentler "push" into the trees when cutting
All trucks – Reduced start-up speed and smoother acceleration for better control
All trucks – Fixed an issue where trucks would get stuck when manually shifting into forward or reverse
Tigercat 880 – Connecting piece color adjusted to match the new Tigercat grapple color




Version 12.0.0.0


=NEW MODS=

ALL CHAIN ​​MACHINES – WEIGHT REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY 35%, TO ACCOUNT FOR NEW TREES


All Chainsaws – Significantly Less Prone to Tipping When Transporting Logs


All Chainsaws – Improved Color Match Between Chains/Chassis and the New, Darker Black


All Chainsaws – Light Positions Corrected (Centering of the First Light Set and Adjustment of the Second Set's Angles)


All Chainsaws – Improved Chain Sound Effects (Clearer "Click" of the Chain Links)


All Chainsaws – Motor Volume Adjusted for a More Balanced Sound


All Returns – NEW CONTROL MAPPING FOR MOVING REAR SUN RACKS


ALL BACKSHEADS – INCREASED ACTIVATION HEIGHT FOR TENSION STRAPS TO SECURE HIGHER LOG STACKS


TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – FIXED BUG WHERE THE TENSION STRAPS WERE NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE SUN RACKS AND FAILED TO GRIP OUTER LOGS


TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – ADJUSTED AND IMPROVED SUN RACKS COLLISION


TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – INCREASED SUN END HEIGHT


TIMBERPRO BACKSHEAD – Increased weight and stiffer suspension


CLARK 880 Forwarder – Additional option to adjust bunk positioning


ALL SKIDDERS – Grabs close less aggressively; This works significantly better in combination with ratchet straps and when securing the load while driving.


All Grabbers – New sound effects when reaching the end position (opening/closing)


All Grabbers – Improved gripping physics for greater realism and more balanced force (less "overpowered" behavior)


H-Grabber – Increased width for better stability when gripping logs


WL-Grabber – Removed from the program due to recurring issues with the gripper geometry


All Trucks – Wheel sinking disabled to prevent glitches and tires digging into the ground


All Trucks – Optimized weight and gear ratios More power for smoother acceleration


All trucks – Reduced reflections on the cab windows for better visibility


All trucks – Stiffer suspension to reduce excessive sag under load


All trucks – Increased headlight brightness for nighttime work


All trucks – Maximum reverse speed increased by 5 units


All trucks – Improved sound: Turbo spool-up sound added and idle noise corrected


LOGGER MACK Super – Fixed interior texture/shader bug


LOGGER VNX – Fixed interior texture/shader bug


LOGGER VNX – Added rear headache rack (frequently requested) Air connection brackets moved forward to prevent collisions with logs


All trailers – Weight adjustments and completely new wheel suspensions


All trailers – Slight increase in friction on the stakes/supports to minimize log slippage


Low loader – Weight and friction adjustments to prevent machinery from sliding off the trailer during transport


Low loader – Increased tire grip to prevent slippage or jackknifing


B-Train trailers – Front stake support moved forward to facilitate loading (more space)


B-Train trailers – Collision zones adjusted so the pup trailer can lock onto the front of the main trailer when stacking trailers.


B-Train pup trailers – New "Bending Molly" variant (flexible) added to replace the rigid version; overall trailer loading controls improved.


All processors – Fixed a bug with the manual saw: It would accidentally collide with trees already in the head, interrupting the length measurement.


All buncher heads – Improved grip for a smoother, more controlled feel when placing and moving felled trees.


All buncher heads – Increased housing friction: No slippage when setting down, but ideal for jump turns.


All buncher heads – New soft-push function when pushing through: The saw presses into the base of the log during the cut, providing a clean, firm grip.




Mod Update 3.0 includes a new map called "Pelican Lake."


Many different areas for logging, swamps, and lush forests await you on your lumberjack adventures!
