ver1...
Never released.
Ver1.2
Changed gun arrangments numbers
Ver1.3
temporary fix for tail dragging center gear (fixed class code and other). moved A-20C keel to rear. Keel Keel hook/shadow/collision box now in near proper rear horizontal axis. moved pilots slightly.
Ver1.4
Improved/added damage level D1 ...D3 on most meshes. Most parts will not morph into odd positions near the center of gravity. Should make getting shot up less odd and irritating. Not complete damage modeling..but much better. Fixed the 1000lbs GPE to read 1000lbs GPE instead of 100lbs GPE. increase the 120lb load to 17 from 12 bombs.
ver1.45...
Never Released
Added Modified SAS British MkXII MatII for a WIP temp quick fix torpedo loadout trail. Found some more stock addon A-20C skins for a better variety of WIP temp Hampden colors.
ver1.47...
Altered bomb load and BombSpawn hook locs for better spacing. BombSpawn05 center only for large bomb or torpedo. Removed GearC5 and C6 bay doors and class code cluttering the bomb bay. Worked on the Surface Damage Caps, WingIn, Mid, Out...Stab, Keel Cap. Updated WingIn_D3.

IL-2 conversion by JoHNy_SpRoCK-X
Limitations/known Bugs:
Known issues;
This is the first attempt to convert the highly polygon detailed Alphasim model into IL2 1946. It maybe graphic intensive. When in loading screen you may encounter a lock up .....Loading Aircraft. Ram Cache intensive. Turn down your slider in 4.101 to 256k or less if you experience lock. Further models should try and concentrate on reducing mesh polygon/face count.
1. Damage levels are not complete. You will get odd morphs to an A-20c upon damage. Parts will move to wierd locations due to hooks and clips not all complete
2. LOD are those take from the A-20c. You will see a wierd morph in the distance to some other parts in wierd configs.
3. Engines are those of a A-20c. Need to transfer the AlphaSim engine model to mesh with texture/prop cowl flap/Water work.
4. Landing gear need additional work. mostly the center gear tail dragger needs work. next, the main gear need to be modeled better to look more like a Hampden. the main gear bay covers need to be changed to the alphasim model mesh.
5. Texture mapping need complete overhaul and a original template. Currently using the template from the A-20c.
6. FMD is that of a A-20c. only one keel and rudder. needs twin keel and rudder?
7. The Hampden can have many roles, an additional ground attack class file should be added.
8. The included cockpits are those of the A-20c. I was getting a crash with the gunner and bombardier cockpits. I removed those from the class files code until further root cause could be researched. only cockpit working is that of the pilot.
9. Bomb bay doors open incorrectly. pivot points and hook locs need to be redone to model exactly per a Hampden.
10. Cockpit blister ..or canopy will not open. Need code pivot hook work.
11. Issue with Pablos walking Groundcrew/chocks Mod
12. etc......
Please fly, test it, report Bugs if you find is highly appreciated,
for documentation matters. The detailed (with Pics, when, how etc.)
