There is a random engine failures mod for 4.10...

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,32836.0.html

Any chance someone wants to adapt it for 4.11 and possibly for 4.12?  I might even be able to compensate a modder for his time in successful completion of this request.

Thank you,

Mark

Hi I think the problem with this is that the failure mod is built on DBW (4.10) plus SAS Engine Mod. That makes two layers of altered code to unravel to get back to the base 4.10, before thinking about how to apply it to 4.11 (then 4.11 plus SAS Engine mod presumably).

The download link is not working so I can't check, but I imagine the classes used by this mod are ones that every mod pack and the SAS engine mod contain so each one would have to be checked and the changes at each mod level would have to be isolated.

Not an easy job and then even with the code changes isolated, they may not work in 4.11 if they refer to features that are unique to the mod pack(s) they were built on.

Regards,

-technicalities aside-
Considering that Even TD does not and can not accept this kind of payment, and seeing this place is full of Hobbyists, i am not sure that your propositions of monetary compensation...


Just stop it, a'aight?
i think you insulted many a modder by waving a bunch of dollars in their face.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same! IL-2 modders are pationated guys who make mods only for their own and community enjoyment. They certainly don't make it to earn money! They are modders, NOT DLC creators!!

I appreciate the response... Please don't get me wrong.  I don't mean any disrespect... I was just offering compensation as I am really wanting this mod for 4.11 and I have no other way to try to make it happen as it's way beyond my modding capabilities.  Also, I know that taking something like this on could be rather time consuming and I know peoples time is valuable.  I just wanted to be fair to anyone that took it on.

Thanks,

Mark

But How could you be such a dumb fool!

Mark! I am dead Serious!
If Money could buy Mods, If MONEY was what it takes to makes stuff happen quickly, if MONEY was what drives these guys, and i mean all Modders, here and at the free site, Team Daidalos...
if opening the wallet was all it took...

Like Money was the trucking solution to the problems, and you could have anything as long as you just throw enough Dollar bills at it.

Furthermore, you seem to not be aware - now i am not a specialist in these things, Eulas n all... but strictly what happens all around you is some form of piracy... tolerated breaches agreement and of code, share and redistribution, reverse engineering and the whole alphabet of things we are not sposed to do...

TOLERATED

by the official side.
Tolerated because they don't give a damn any more about the dinosaur that IL-2 is.

One can not give money to Pirates... can one?
Bloody hell!
I do not mean to be disrespectful or anything, nor do i claim to have a good grip on the legal situation, but good God...
Money, while attractive is not what it takes here.
Except when it comes to keep the SAS running. There you are always free to drop a coin in the Hat.

Now worries and no money

This mod sooner or later wil lbe available, but only for 4.12 and SAS engine mod, as now I don't have any other game version.
