Anti-bouncing for WW2 planes

Description
The mod changes crash behaviour for WW2 planes, to remove unrealistic bouncing.

The effect depends on plane's velocity, and adds additional explosion sources if there was any bombs equipped.
Supported mods: IFA3/LEN, Faces of War, Secret Weapons/Flying Legends.

This is the standalone version of anti-bouncing script from Overthrow WW2 mod, made by request.

Q: What is the difference with the No More Aircraft Bouncing mod?
A: NMAB doesn't work well in the most of the cases for WW2 planes, that is why this mod was created.
NMAB can't eliminate bouncing when plane is touching any other object, especially trees, and it doesn't disable plane's wreck physics, so being between trees it can start to bounce again, even with zero x and y velocities.
WW2 planes may have many bugs. Some IFA3 planes dont' have a proper wreck geometry, so the wreck looks like a usual plane. SW planes have bugged wrecks, and other issues.
So, I see no other way, for high (< -30) vertical velocities, than to destroy the plane completely. For lower values the script tries to put the plane on the ground.

Of course, it would be great to left some wreck particles after a crash, but I don't have proper models yet (wings, tails and so). Anyway, even without wrecks it is much better than to leave plane's wreck on the ground. For example:

Hi, no, the modern ones usually crash well without additional mods, so the mod only works with IFA3, FoW and SW/Flying Legends planes.

Hi, does this mod also work well on modern aircrafts (vanilla, CUP, RHS, firewell, USAF2019, etc)?

In the parent mod:

hi, is there an mod free script about this type of system, like in early arma 3, plane crashes>no re-bounce to orbit>creates ruble along the crash slide? Looking for an script!

Most likely yes. I didn't dig deep into the latest version, but afaik there was no noticeable changes for planes physics.

Do you need this anymore with IFA3 second wave?

I was referring to NMAB, if you wanted to submit any improvements. If this mod is using modifed code from NMAB, then this mod also needs to follow the terms of GPLv2. If this is truly original code, then disregard... But I see you mention NMAB a lot and you commented on the NMAB page about this, so I'm assuming this is modifying NMAB to fix a specific issue with these other plane classes.

Sceptre, it is a different mod, just focused on a similar problem.

"Otherwise, feel free to contribute to the original mod"
I am the only author of original mod, Overthrow WW2.
So I feel extremely free to contribute it :D

P.S. There is no source code, as it is not compiled, it is a pure sqf.
Also, I'm not licensing anything, it is useless - especially for such small scripts. Those who want to stole something, can't be stopped by any licence from small modders.

Source code and license info? NMAB is licensed under GPLv2 so anything derivative will need to follow that. Otherwise, feel free to contribute to the original mod if the improvements can reach a wider audience.

Flying Legends' planes have the same prefix as SW ones, so it will works for them too.
