Just a Parking Brake

I wanted a working parking brake in Farming Simulator 25, but I didn’t need all the additional features that come with larger vehicle mods such as Enhanced Vehicle or Realistic Gearbox. Those are great mods if you want the full package—I just wanted a parking brake.

So, I decided to make a small standalone mod that does one job: it gives your vehicle a working parking brake.

Press Numpad Enter to apply it, press it again to release it, and get back to farming.

Features

• Working parking-brake physics that holds the vehicle in place
• Separate engagement and release sounds
• HUD icon showing whether the brake is applied
• Smaller 40×40-pixel HUD indicator
• Movable HUD icon with a saved position
• Support for standard wheeled and tracked vehicles
• Automatically releases and bypasses the brake for AI workers
• Follow Me compatibility
• Rebindable controls through the game’s control settings
• Has been ran through test runner

Mod Compatibility

The Parking Brake Mod works alongside:

• Mud Physics
• Deeper Ruts
• ADS
• Follow Me
• Base-game AI workers

It can be used with these mods without replacing or interfering with their features.

Running this mod alongside another mod that also controls the parking brake is not recommended. Using multiple parking-brake systems at the same time may cause the controls or brake physics to overlap.

Default Controls

• Numpad Enter: Apply or release the parking brake
• Left Alt + P: Enter or exit HUD layout mode
• Left Mouse Button: Drag the icon while layout mode is active
• Right Mouse Button: Save the icon position and exit layout mode

All controls can be changed through the game’s control settings.

Installation Instructions

1. Download FS25_ParkingBrakeMod.zip.
2. If you have an older version installed, remove the old Parking Brake ZIP first.
3. Place the new ZIP file into:

   Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods

4. Do not unzip the file.
5. Start Farming Simulator 25 and select your save.
6. Make sure Parking Brake is enabled in the downloadable content list.
7. Load your save and press Numpad Enter to apply or release the brake.

Important Notes

• Multiplayer is not currently supported.
• This mod is intended as a focused alternative to the parking-brake systems included with larger vehicle-overhaul mods.

Credits

• Mod created by Second Chance Gaming
• Parking-brake method and mission lifecycle adapted from Enhanced Vehicle v1.1.7.1 by Majo76

I know this mod might not be useful to everyone, and I may add more features in the future. For now, it is just a parking brake.

Enjoy!
