Put simply,this script takes the combine’s speed when threshing into consideration. Ifyou're going too fast, when harvesting, a message will tell you to slow down.Going too fast, for too long, and the harvester’s motor shuts downautomatically.
The script alsomakes some really cool animations possible. Here, the modder has made full useof it. A lot is going on, on both in-cab monitors. Here are some highlights:
And that'snot all. The recent update includes a total of 7 new and modified headers. Herethey are:
