i have been working on something new. a mod that would apply a "boost" of HP to your motor. if you have ever played Westby, you know what i mean.

as it turns out, it was much harder than i thought. remember, HP is measured in farming simulator via a "factor" called "torque scale". it's a mathematical equation using factors that eventually gets you to a "HP" (sort of). i would much rather have this based on PTO HP @ 2k RPM and the game engine do all the factoring, but... it is what it is :)

i wanted this to not be crawling all over XML files. loading... disk access overhead... having to manually engage/disengage the supercharger... i wanted it to kick in when the motor load was high, shut itself off when it was done or continue to run if needed. i wanted it to not be "lunging" when it kicks in, but give you a little "extra" when it hits, followed by a smoother, consistent power band. and, if you let off the throttle, it needs to wind itself down. gracefully.

anyway... i am very excited about "SuperCharger" and finally got it working as of a few hours ago. i have to say, it is a such a cool feeling to hear that supercharger kick in, your tractor hunches down and you get that extra power you are starving for to get the implement up that hill. 

and, it works on everything with a motor. you install it, enable it and your combines as well as your tractors and trucks benefit.

below is the outline for the mod and i hope to have this out this weekend in BETA/Early Access.

thank you for all the support!

Dynamically adds a SuperCharger to your motor! No configs needed. Automatically Get 150 HP boost when the motor load is >= 95%.
Features include...
- real-time motor load HUD
- short-cycle prevention (prevents boost power surge "lunging")
- "smooth engagement" using sampled average motor load during runtime
- audio samples for boost engage/disengage
*please note this is EARLY ACCESS and more features will be added over time
