What is the FSMW Gold Kettenrad V2 Director's Cut?
The long version of the FSMW Gold Kettenrad for FS25: the same tracked tipper with its trailer, but every part is now our own build, from the chopper fork to the last track link. No third-party models are left in it. When the V2 comes out, the V1 becomes free for everyone.
What it does
Built from scratch
The V1 stood on borrowed parts: the vehicle base, the fork and the headlights came from other people's models. For the V2 we took a ruler to the old pieces, wrote down the measurements and threw the meshes out. Everything you see now we built ourselves, bolt by bolt.
That is why it is called the Director's Cut. Same idea, same chrome, same gold bars, but this time it is all ours.
What we polished
The fork is new: the steering head tube sits right on the steering axis, and the brake line is clamped along the fork leg all the way to the caliper. The tracks now have two layers, steel shoes with rubber pads on top. The hull is new too, with a 47° slope at the front and the back, and bearing blocks hold every axle under the hull. In the cockpit the gear knobs are round and chrome now.
The trailer got the same treatment: own tracks and road wheels, a hull slanted like the Kettenrad's, and the mud flaps hang under the bed exactly like on the Kettenrad.
Still on the workbench
Before it goes out we give the engine sound a last polish. The sound comes from our own recordings of a real engine, and it should sound like gold is on board.
And the V1?
When the V2 Director's Cut comes out, the FSMW Gold Kettenrad V1 becomes free for everyone. So whoever wants to start hauling gold can start right away, and the V2 is there for anyone who wants the full custom build.

Questions and answers
FSMW Gold Kettenrad V2 Director's Cut: I use FSG Mod Assistant or several mod folders. Where does the key file go?
Put the key file (.xml) once into Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2025/modSettings/FSMW/ (create the FSMW folder yourself). It then works for every mod folder, even when FSG Mod Assistant switches folders. If the key file sits in your mods folder, FSG Mod Assistant lists it as "Not a mod". That is normal, please don't delete it.
What is different about the FSMW Gold Kettenrad V2 Director's Cut?
Everything is our own build now: fork, hull, tracks, road wheels and the trailer. The V1 still used parts of other people's models, the V2 has none left. On top of that come polished details like the brake line along the fork, two-stage tracks, bearing blocks on the axles and round chrome gear knobs.
What happens to the FSMW Gold Kettenrad V1 when the V2 Director's Cut comes out?
It becomes free for everyone.
