Since there is no indication as to where I should post requests, I shall post mine here...

I really enjoy flying the B-24, especially in the RAF Halifax skin. The only trouble I can find about it is that it has no fire extinguishers. I'm sure they had them in real life.

Can someone please design a mod to include this? I imagine it would be quite a simple operation, and would make flying it even better!

Thanks alot,

As this would involve the editing of an FM of an already existing aircraft it is against AAA rules. There is no rule, however, stopping someone from making another B-24 model and including what they want with it - provided it makes sense for the type. I might argue we could use a few B-24D's...

Fire extinguishers are present in the stock 1946, see controls.
But I never understood how they work and IF they work or was only an option never activated.
In this last case maybe a modder could activate it, without changing anything related to FM!
B17 also had them I think

Some stock-planes in IL2-1946 have fire extinguishes fitted ie B25's, and yes, they do actually work. You can use them to put out engine fires and to cool an overheated engine quickly. How to operate...

SETUP
1. Assign a fire extinguisher key in the conrols.
2. Assign a key to select each of the plane engines (1-6) in the conrols.
3. Assign a key to select all engines in the conrols.
TO OPERATE EXTINUISHER
4. Press the key to select your engine that is on fire. In my case, that's 1 for engine 1, 2 for engine 2 etc. (engine numbering goes from the left to right on your plane).
5. Press your fire extinuisher key to fire the extinguisher for the selected engine. Some planes have more than 1 extinguisher in each engine bay.
6. Press the key to select all your engines after firing an extinguisher, otherwise when you change power only the last selected engine will activate.

Now it's clear!!!
Thank you very much for help, Salmo!

If a new slot B24 were made, they could also have a look at the "hook" for the con-trails. As it is now, you wouldn't want to see the B-24 flying at high altitude.
