I'm looking for specific mod which gives the ability to "turn on" external view when aircraft is on the ground or shot down. I'm not sure if that mod exists but I have impression that it is somwhere.
Thanks for help !

It's part of the bomb bay doors mod.
Check the readme file for it and it will explain how to use it to it's full potential.
S!
I use Ultra Pack. Does it contain bomb bay doors mod ? I can't see it in jsgmemods folder.

Gents,
That's not what he's looking for. He wanted to know what mod had the external view controls with it. (Bomb Bay Doors Mod).
@ Whiskey,
Here is the information that you needed:
BombBayDoors_Plus_2_5_3
=======================
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on which options you choose, this mod may involve adding lines to the conf.ini file in your IL-2 game folder. BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CONF.INI FILE, MAKE A COPY OF IT, just to be safe.
The mod lets the user or server modify the way several controls work. You can pick and choose which of the options you use. Here's a summary
- Manually open/close bomb bay doors. (P2V Neptune added in 2.5)
- Manually open/close side cockpit door on Spitfire XII and XIV.
- Display TAS in addition to IAS in the speedbar. (also requires the HUDConfig mod)
- Separate gear up/down controls.
- Separate tailhook up/down controls.
- Separate radiator open/close controls.
- Toggle music on/off while flying.
- Modified airshow smoke.
- The server can set various limited external view options while 'No External Views' is turned on.
- The server can set various limited padlock options while 'No Padlock' is turned on.
- Dump Fuel key for F9F Panther.
To install, extract the BombBayDoors_Plus folder in the rar file to the MODS folder in your IL-2 1946 game folder.
You will need to remove or disable any existing versions of the BombBayDoors or Hotkeys mods. Also this mod is not compatible with the PAT Smoke mod.
Intstructions:
By default the only thing the BombBayDoors_Plus mod does is give you manual control over the bomb bay doors and the side cockpit door on Spitfire XIV (and these can be easily disabled). For everything else, you choose which options to use by adding lines to the [Mods] section of the conf.ini file in your IL-2 1946 game folder, or the [Mods] section of the mission (.mis) file if it is a mission parameter. See the Notes at the end of this README for more details.
Manually open/close bomb bay doors
----------------------------------
With this option, whatever key you assign to 'Power 10' in your controls becomes a toggle to open/close the bomb bay doors on aircraft that have bomb bay doors. When this option is set, you can only release your bombs after opening the bay doors. It has no effect on aircraft that do not have bomb bay doors.
This option is turned on by default. To disable it, in the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: BombBayDoors=0
Manually open/close side cockpit door on Spitfire XII and XIV
-------------------------------------------------------------
With this option, whatever key you assign to 'Power 40' in your controls becomes a toggle to open/close the side cockpit door on the Spitfire XII and XIV.
This option is turned on by default. To disable it, in the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SideDoor=0
Display TAS in addition to IAS in the speedbar
----------------------------------------------
This function also requires the HUDConfig mod.
With this option, when you cycle through your speedbar you will have three additional settings: kmh TAS, knots TAS, and mph TAS.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SpeedbarTAS=1
Separate gear up/down controls
------------------------------
With this option, your Toggle Gear control only acts as Gear Down, and whatever key you assign to 'Magneto Previous' is Gear Up.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SeparateGearUpDown=1
Separate tailhook up/down controls
----------------------------------
With this option, your Toggle Tailhook control only acts as Tailhook Down, and whatever key you assign to 'Magneto Next' is Tailhook Up.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SeparateHookUpDown=1
Separate radiator open/close controls
-------------------------------------
With this option, your Cowl Flaps (radiator) control only opens your radiator, and whatever key you assign to 'Power 30' closes your radiator.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SeparateRadiatorOpenClose=1
Toggle music on/off while flying
--------------------------------
With this option, you can turn the Takeoff and In-flight music on and off with whatever key you assign to 'Power 20'. You can't turn off the Crash music because...well...because your dead. In the game, as in life, you'll find there are lots of thing you're no longer able to do once you're dead.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: ToggleMusic=1
Dump Fuel key for the F9F Panther
---------------------------------
With this option, you can dump the fuel in the wingtip tanks of the Panther with whatever key you assign to 'Power 50'. As in real life, the you can only dump the fuel in the wingtip tanks. The main tanks hold approx 75% of a full fuel load and wingtip tanks the remaining 25%. So you can only dump fuel in excess of 75%. It takes about one minute to dump fully-loaded wingtip tanks.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: DumpFuel=1
Modified airshow smoke
----------------------
With this option, the normal wingtip smoke is moved to a single smoke stream coming from the middle of the aircraft, and you have the choice of red, white or blue smoke.
In the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add ONE of the following lines:
AirShowSmoke=1
Can this mod be resurrected to work with HSFX 6.0 (IL2 4.11.1)?
At least the external view portion?
(Cycling function)
