There are some videos on youtube, but they are from 2014 and they have horrible quality, if you can do it for me i can add more realism, please!

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

That looks awesome I agree the fold animation is a little fast. Also when it is unfolding the outer section will begin to unfold right before the inner section is folded all the way out and the brake away will start unfolding right before the outer section is all the way unfolded. I can probably get you a video if I go spray tomorrow.

I really appreciate your suggestion. It is very important when you notice something and mention, with feedback the mod just gets better! I'll fix the animation, the speed is still high, I need to work on it more. About "sprayer section control” I intend to add this, in addition to lights on the bars and the realistic refill scritp with hoses. Gradually I’m showing the progress. Thank you very much!

I freaking love this machine. I’m so ready to use it. I do however, have a question and a comment/suggestion. Suggestion: this is really a nit pick detail that I saw in another sprayer that looked very lifelike to me. The boom on the other sprayer (and I forget which one) folded and unfolded a little slower than this one, and each side’s sections were slightly out of sync by about a second. That replicated the hydraulic cylinders moving at slightly different speeds like they do in real life. That particular boom animation was very realistic, and it’s something you may want to consider (just a suggestion). Also, I didn’t see you overlap your spray swath in your video so I couldn’t tell if you incorporated the “sprayer section control” script into this one or not. Is that something you plan on adding so individual nozzles shut off when they enter an area that has already been sprayed (or outside the field boundary)? This is meant as constructive feedback, and definitely not criticism. I think your mods are in a realm of their own and I wish I could do half of what you are doing. Really looking forward to this one!
