It was already available for purchase on hgmodel.com, Here it is today in mod on FS 17. The legendary Renault Atles 925 RZ of 226hp arrives thanks to the 2 modders lolo62 and DeeeZer.
If this tractor still makes more than one dream, know that the mod could quickly make you disillusioned. The modeling to begin with is well made. Modders are not the cause, since the model was purchased on hgmodel.com (beware of copyright, I'm not sure this mod is really legal…). The textures are particularly poor and "flat", offering a rendering close to that of Cattle and Crops. hgmodel provided the ambient occlusion maps, which catches up with the quality of the final rendering. About ten combinations are possible in this impressive choice of tire configuration: twin front, rear, narrow, wide, etc. really everything is there. The scripting of this tractor leaves much to be desired on many points.
Bugs ...
At the purchase to start. It is possible to choose between the 925RZ (226hp) or the 936RZ (250hp) but when switching from one version to another, the name remains unchanged and displays 925 RZ. Ditto in the game since the tractor stickers remain on 925 RZ. Power is however well taken into account since when you choose the 936 RZ, you have 250hp under the hood. You will tell me, this is only a detail. Not the point that really bothered me the most, it is the physics of the elements. Just see on the video, when the plow passes, the tractor seems to be dismembered !! WTF! And when we look more closely, we also notice, in the cabin, that the driver is badly positioned, especially the feet which are completely in the air. It contrasts with the quality of some mods, like this Deutz which was configured from head to foot.
This is version 1.0 and at this time it is not known if there will be any fixes to this set. I will be sure to keep you posted and I will let you discover this pile of orange scrap metal in pictures 🙂

Modelization
Physics and realism
If the modeling is correct, the textures contrast with the other materials available in the game by their lack of details. The physics are poorly managed and the feeling of driving a heap of junk persists. While waiting for a version 2 of this mythical tractor, we will go our way ...
