Mod contains two independent parts:

First part (larger 4776A788FDC05430 classfile) adds following features to all Avengers TBF/TBM series, regardless cockpit mod used:

- AI gunners, capable to strafing ground targets (same thing as here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15251.msg164623.html#msg164623)
U can instruct your gunners to shoot surface targets this way - look at desired enemy target (in any cockpit or external view) and press "sight automation" button. Appropriate turrets will start tracking designated surface target and shooting while in 1 km range. To cancel target press "sight automation" button again. If U using padlock and setting or changing padlocked [ground] target, gunners will change aim accordingly. Feature not working, then autopilot engaged - AI takes control;
- FM fix (or, rather, pilot aid), remedying stock FM roll instability;
- AI tweak, making AI planes to fold wings in the end of landing run.

Second part (rest of classfiles) is a patch for old AAA TBM-3 cockpit mod, adding SWOD Mk 9 radar-homing gliding bomb (in v.4.10), Mk 34 torpedo and Mk 53 depth charges to loadouts list (torpedo & charges comes with P2V Neptune mod by Flakiten, Nightshifter & Jolly, posted by SAS~CirX: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,774.0.html).

U may want to remove or comment some of this classfiles to disable respective features, if it incompatible to some installed mod.

I intalled it in my 4.09 but the game wont even start. Thought I may have too many planes, I have so many I have to remove some to add new ones but I removed three planes that I dont fly and reinstalled but still the game wont even try to start. Any ideas?

Add a dash in front of each file, till you find out which one is the problem.
Like this -C2D0C31C80D90176
This one was the culprit for mine.

Does this mean we can expect similar for other multi-creww aircraft? Like B25 side/rear gunners straffing ground targets on low passes?

Very nice Twister

Could you please add the depth charges from the Neptune as well? Avenger had a major anti-submarine role.

Good point. Just added depth charges loadout. Link updated.

Almost finished "enhanced" B-25J-1 mod. Patch for B-24, probably, will be next.

May be, TBM3 cockpit mod U using, is not that AAA mod.

Any chance of a Reupload?

Sorry not to have noticed this thread before Guys,

One of the things that has nagged me for a long time is the fact that the TBF/TBM propeller in IL2 rotates in the wrong direction.
I have posted this at 242 Squadron in the hopes that it will be looked at for the next version of HSFX.
I hope that someone might address it if it is not too much work for someone with the requisite skills.

Don't believe me?
Watch this video , then go into your game and start up a TBF/TBM.
