HSFX version is in the works.

[Potenz]

For those with franken install and HSFX delete de the files in the list
in that way the mod should work with stock planes only.

This is a quick fix for HSFX untill we get the class files froms HSFX to work with.

^ is a Godsend. Took those files out (some weren't there already) and now the game loads *and* the mod works. Thanks a lot.

[Wolfighter]

Thanks for wait  with patient for the list. We still working in the fix for the statics planes problem.

Damage Mod at work and working:

[SAS~HolyGrail]

Thanks for posting nice screenshot Bravo 
What a busted P-38 with front gear wheel fully collapsed 
Too bad it is a totally wrecked plane otherwise it could have been
interesting for emergency landing with only front gear fully retracted 
I love landings with damaged gear drama .
It's just plain wonderful when the damaged plane gear collapse and
then it all start shaking due to the drag effect and losing speed 
One more thing to worry about in heated combat ..........

This looks like a very cool mod, but for full realism you need to add one more thing - exploding tires.

Unless they're solid, aircraft tires are filled with highly compressed gas (nitrogen or helium). If you were to shoot one, it wouldn't just go flat, it would blow up!

Example:

In this picture, part of the tire when through the wing and into the fuselage!

In this picture, one tire went flat and the strain burst the other tires on the landing gear when the plane made an emergency landing.

And, icing on the cake, watch this idiot overinflate the front tire on the plane in the foreground!

If you want we can make loosen bolts on your aircraft

Mind you, I'm not complaining. The landing gear damage mod is brilliant and is a huge improvement over stock IL2. Once all the bugs are worked out, I think it should be submitted to DT for inclusion in a a future official patch.

I was just looking at the video of an attacking plane shooting away at the undercarriage of an A-20 and I realized that the tire would explode once the bullets hit it! Perhaps that's the subject for a future mod.

[SAS~HolyGrail]

but then there is also a footage of B-17's being relentlessly attacked with bullets
pouring in to one or the other tire without any explosion 
making somehow flat tire effect or exploding tire effect in IL-2 1946 is thus far
impossible unless someone else prove us wrong 
Yes , idea is good if created with necessary randomness but how do you go about
implementing this with current IL-2 code ?
Crysis have such effect . 

[Potenz]

actually the task is so time consuming that it doesn't worth it
basicly you have to create a exploded tire for each of the three
landing gear in each aircrafts, that was my answer of the losen bolts
it's possible but the work that need it is so huge that doesn't worth to try it

..Doesn't work for me....i ve got the SAS Mod Activator v2 ...and the game doesn t load..
