FS25 Engine and Transmission Config Tool 1.1.0

FS25 Engine and Transmission Config Tool 1.1.0

Packaging cleanup plus a much clearer single-page UI: custom presets you can keep, Settings for defaults and storage location, themed dialogs, and a real app icon.

Desktop tool for generating Farming Simulator 25 engine and transmission XML configurations — auto torque curves, gear ratio math, built-in + custom presets, and FS25-compatible export.

Which file should I download?

Platform	Download
Windows (portable)	FS25 Engine and Transmission Config Tool-1.1.0-windows-portable.zip — extract and run the .exe

On Windows, unzip the portable build or run the Setup .exe to install. On macOS/Linux, download the binary and run it (chmod +x if needed).

Linux note: Farming Simulator 25 is not natively released for Linux, but it runs via Steam Proton. This tool is provided natively for Linux modders.

What’s new in 1.1.0

Packaging & releases

• Windows Setup.exe is a real installer (Start Menu / uninstall), not a folder labeled as an installer
• Windows portable stays a zip (single .exe inside)
• Mac and Linux ship as bare binaries (no unnecessary archive around one file)
• Full product name on release assets — no abbreviated filenames
• Build/release checks so a tiny wrong file cannot be published by mistake
• Pixel-art app icon on the window and Windows EXE/installer

UI & workflow

• Single-page layout: Engine (top) and Transmission (bottom) on the left; XML preview on the right
• One Generate XML action for combined engine + transmission
• Compact paired fields; word-wrapped XML preview with line numbers
• Themed dialogs that match the dark UI

Custom presets & Settings

• Save custom engine or transmission presets next to each section’s Load button
• Presets stored under Custom Presets/Engine presets and Custom Presets/Transmission presets (default: alongside the EXE)
• Settings: choose that folder, set default presets for startup, Open log file
• Light rotating log (fs25_config_tool.log) for troubleshooting

What’s included

• Dark-mode GUI (CustomTkinter, with Tkinter fallback)
• Engine setup with auto-generated torque curves (turbo and naturally aspirated)
• Transmission support: Manual, Automatic, CVT, PowerShift
• Built-in engine and transmission presets, plus your own custom ones
• FS25-compatible XML export with syntax-highlighted preview
• Copy to clipboard; save engine, transmission, or combined XML

Built-in presets

Engines: 7.3 / 6.0 / 6.7 Powerstroke · 5.9 / 6.7 Cummins

Transmissions: 10-speed Allison · 13-speed Eaton Fuller · 4-speed with Granny Gear · 18-speed Eaton Fuller

Tips

• Torque is derived from horsepower and RPM ((HP × 9549) / Peak RPM).
• Prefer combined FS25 XML when you want engine + transmission in one motor configuration.
• Use the generated XML in your FS25 mod’s motor configuration section.
• Custom presets and settings stay next to the app by default (portable-friendly).
