Real Powertrain – Realistic CVT & Engine Management

This gameplay mod adds a more realistic engine and transmission system for tractors with supported CVT transmissions. Brand-specific profiles provide appropriate shifting and performance characteristics while adding useful control and diagnostic tools.

• Brand-specific CVT behavior: Fendt Vario and MF Dyna-VT feature two manual ranges for field and road use that can only be changed while stationary. Case IH CVXDrive, Steyr, New Holland, John Deere AutoPowr, CLAAS CMATIC, Deutz TTV, Valtra Direct and Kubota KVT use four automatic ranges with almost imperceptible shifts.
• Engine and transmission management: Auto and Power modes provide load limiting along with four adjustable acceleration ramps.
• Hand throttle: Two engine-speed memories, A and B, provide realistic hand-throttle control. The settings are saved with the savegame.
• Power-split efficiency: Losses in the hydrostatic section affect pulling force and fuel consumption.
• Realistic engine behavior: The engine speed drops slightly while the PTO is working. Hydraulic operations such as tipping, using the front loader, raising implements or folding equipment raise engine speed, which then returns to idle afterward.
• Dedicated window: Press Left Alt + P to open the Transmission and Settings tabs. Live information includes engine speed, target speed, engine load, efficiency, hydrostatic share and range selection, while vehicle, module and CVT profile options are also available.
• Zasty HUD: The selected range and hand-throttle status are shown in the HUD. The dedicated panel is hidden while the HUD is active.

The mod supports multiplayer. If CVT Addon, RealismAddon Gearbox or VCA is active, the CVT module automatically turns itself off.

Default controls:
Left Alt + P: Open the Real Powertrain window
Left Alt + Up/Down: Hold for hand throttle

If a key is already in use, it can be reassigned under Options > Controls.
