That's correct install and it should work , promotional video took hair loss how many times
attack had to be repeated in order to drop damaged gear , it might take even 20 repeated
attacks one after another before the bullet hit the right spot in order for gear to drop .
It is absolutely necessary you hit the gear a bit from bellow angle so the bullet can directly
hit the landing gear .
Sometimes it can take literally a one single bullet and damaged gear will drop .
There is no reason why should this mod not working with HSFX4.11 version as long as you
have activated MODS folder with landing gear mod placed inside .
One last try , just set up quick mission with 16 B-24's and some 16 Bf-109's and watch
by switching view between bombers to see which one will drop gear first , the adds are much
better it will happen at least on couple of them

Roger that HolyGrail . I'll give that a try .

[Andris6000]

I did what you sayd HolyGrail and the very first bomber that got hit dropped its gear half way ! In the end i was the retard :S Great mod guys ! Thank you for it

[SAS~HolyGrail]

That must have been shocking Andris6000 !! 
Glad it worked , as we have said it can sometimes take quite some time before seeing some
gear dropping and sometimes just one short burst and gear will drop , it also depends on which
aircraft is attacked since some have gears covered by doors so it's more difficult to hit gear 
Potenz and Wolfighter are testing new mod version update after they have been editing files
in order to fix some issues .

Excellent downloading now many thanks

Okay, I don't know if this has been mentioned before so sorry if it has.

Since the hydraulics are shot out, shouldn't the gear collapse on landing unless they fully extend and lock?

I found same classes in Il-4 cockpit... named: AC7C925AFD7952B4

Amazing mod which adds much realism. I loved the opening guncam sequence of Col. Don Blakeslee shooting down the Fw. I've never seen the complete film. All I have in my collection is the part where the gear drops and the canopy is blown. Any chance whoever made the ingame clip could share their color settings? It looked so much more natural than I am able to get in my game.

The key part of this is - as you said "unless they fully extend and lock".  It will be different for every airplane.  On some planes the gear will (by design or just by happy coincidence) extend and lock after a hydraulic failure and on others it will not.  Usually there is a limiting airspeed for the ones that will drop.  If you are too fast the gear won't drop until you slow down.

This happend to me today, it did not happend yesterday, gearretraction while scramble on all mig`s . Love this mod and can live with this, just wanted to inform. I will also check my Mods and so on.  I am running UP 201

Thanks for this great mod! This really increases the immersion level considerably. However, I had the same problem that LeOne and a few others have described. I was playing a mission I had made a few months ago. It includes four AI-Spitfires taking off from an airfield during the mission. The first time I played this mission with the new landing gear damage mod installed, the Spits took off normally. However, when I played the same mission again, they just lay around on the runway with their landing gear retracted. I still run IL-2-1946-4.09bm1 with AAA U.I 1.0 and SAS mods.

Thanks for working on the update. Does this mod affect all retractable-landing-gear-aircraft in the game, or only stock planes?

Regards,

FW
