FS22 - John Deere 7810 US/AU Spec Edited V1.0
Probably one of my final mod edits for FS22, this is a project I've been meticulously working away on in the background and is in a state I deem "Good enough" to release publicly.
Some context: IRL on the farm I grew up on, the two green tractors that stuck around for all of my childhood were the 8760 "Big Green" and the 7810 "Little Green". Both of which I spent many hours in the cab with Dad growing up, and while the 8760 may be sold off, the 7810 however, stuck around.
When FS22 got announced and showed off the 7810 in the Factsheets naturally I was ecstatic to see the 7810 come to the base game. Only to realise that the dashboard, gearbox and entire layout of the cab, was not the configuration of the 7810 I knew front to back. So, after using JHHG's US Spec version of the tractor for about a year or two, and having learned my way around XML's, I decided I was going to make a "Kit-bash" edit of sorts, putting my spin on the 7810. Essentially taking the best components from the now quite out-dated 7000/7010 series JoNo/T.Diniz brought to 22 and merge it into the cab interior on JHHG's US spec 7810.
After many hours of work. It's ready.
Changes to JHHG's mod include:
- Swapping the base-game analog dashboard for the Digital Dashboard in the cab
- Added option for front 3-Point linkage for additional sprayer tanks (Can also be used for front mowers however the PTO shaft won't connect, and I can't figure out how to)
- Added Light bar option for the roof
- Added option for Trimble Autosteer with New Holland FM-750 monitor, and other Autosteer options from the 7000/7010
- Added the other cab monitors from the 7000/7010 including JD BaleTrak, M6000, Raven/Bestaway Sprayer controls, Kinze monitors, Intercomp scale and ComputerTrak.
- Added BKT Tire options for jobs that require a bit more traction than the row-crop Michelan and Continentals.
- Real Dashboard has been implemented for use with the Bale-Trak monitor
As per usual, log should be clear of errors, however if you run into any issues, please do let me know.
