Thank You a lot for this great plane and SAS~GJE52's mapping fix!
Unfortunately, I found more and more bugs while testing and fixing this plane. Thus, my fix patch got quite large with these fixes:
- Center position adjusted a bit
- Positions of ailerons, flaps and stabilizers fine tuned
- Some shadow bugs fixed
- LODs cleaned (There is now one LOD with low resolution texture, no shadow and a bit simpler mesh, but texture mapping is buggy in it.)
- Nose and stabilizers won't sink into ground anymore
- Damage of many parts fixed (Collision names are care sensitive and most didn't work because of it.)
- Many collision boxes reshaped and new ones added for elevators and rudder (Engine and CF collisions still have too simple shapes, so someone could update them.)
- Many damage bugs in hier.him fixed like incorrect parents, dead pilot and some missing damaged parts
- Damage meshes cleaned and updated
- Engine damage effects fixed
- New damage textures (I'm not texture artist, so they're likely not best possible.)
- Added missing GlassOil.mat and GlassOilHoles.mat to fix error messages (They're just copies of Glass2.mat because oil and holes looked too bad due to texture mapping.)

This pack includes SAS~GJE52's mapping fix, but I left out mapping template that you can get from SAS~GJE52's download.
Just unpack to the mod folder of this plane so that these files replace original ones.
I modified damage textures from Cr.32 ones, so bullet holes are painted by Molva (Aviaskins.com) or Nachprod (aka MURDOC, Aviaskins.com) or someone else who worked with Cr.32.
DBW compatibility fix: Those who can't get this plane working in DBW or other v4.10.1m based version can try FM file
http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/VG-33_FM for v4.10.1m. However, better solution is to update DiffFM mod to later version that supports FM files for other IL-2 versions like the FM included in original mod.
I hope you enjoy flying and shooting at VG-33 more with these fixes.
