Test Lindner DLC #62

Closed Dhalj closed 10 years ago

Dhalj commented 10 years ago

I tested the Lindner DLC, this DLC is more usefull as I thought, I think it is most usefull when you start a new game on a small/tight map. But I think it is too expensive, when you can affort it, you are past the point of using it.

Without any attachment on the back its only use is that you can drive around, it is not even possible to tow a trailer, you will need at least the transporter module to be abled to tow a trailer. so I think it is better to lower the price of the vehicle and raise the prices of the attachments. for example the MR lindner Geotrac 94 is $45.000, it has low and high hitch on the back and front and rear 3pt linkage, which will make the tractor a much better purchase then the $76000

I think it should be approx like this (for gameplay balance): Lindner unitrac: $36000 Forage module: $14500 Transporter module: $10400 Spreader module: $10700 Slurry module (Kirchner): $11800

Maybe also add a low hitch to the transportermodule, then the lindner unitrac can also be used for pulling the combine headers. (it is very agile)

When the Forage module is filled with grass, it makes the Lindner a bit heavy on the backside, maybe increase the rear spring settings a bit, so the unitrac will not lean backwards so much. the weight distribution is very good. 2014-05-31_00002

This is just my opinion, there are no errors in the DLC as far as I have checked/tested

Base "mr" game :

Bergmann forage wagon = 81,000€ (you need a "decent" tractor to tow this one) Bergmann manure spreader = 17,100€ Garant slurry tank = 13,450€

And so, on "light scale" operations, the unitrac is useful and worthful for picking up forage/straw and spreading slurry/manure. This is a "special" vehicle that should not be compared to a tractor both IRL and in the game. of course, as a base tractor, the unitrac is useless (too expensive, no hitch or hydraulics), but this is true IRL too.

When playing in "normal" difficulty, you can buy the unitrac and all the accessories right at the beginning thanks to the "loan" => this can be a good idea depending on the map (tight hilly area with many small fields and travel distance to be done)

I don't own this DLC, and so, I don't try it/play with it. But I think we have to try to keep as close as possible to IRL prices when possible. (without giving a huge advantage or disaventage compared to other equipments)

Alright. I do not like to change the price as well. (Just a note)

I added a little more spring to the rear of the unitrack. Added trailer attach joint low to transport module as well, so it can be used for the cutter trailer. Pushed in this: 280a550335f92e44b61d15851e6f5d4c7014a36d

For me the Lindner unitrac and all attachments works fine now, I do not mind if you keep the prices the same.

Thanks for adding the low Hitch and changing the spring settings. I have tested the entire Lindner DLC and I think it works all right now.
