What is needed to make aircraft explode in a fireball when it hits the ground or structure?

They do anyway, you can change the death weapon entry however to include a bigger blast, and you can change the particle effects associated with it. Just rummage in the aircraft entries, you'll find what you need.

When they hit structures they don't; They just vanish in thin-air .

You have to make a NO_COLLIDE "death" object for all the planes and make the planes generate these objects on death.

Couldn't you use the VehicleCrashesIntoBuildingWeapon= and VehicleCrashesIntoNonBuildingWeapon= flags in the PhysicsBehavior module to have aircraft explode on impact?

Heh, probably :P

I swear they do - I've had great fun with shooting down aircraft over buildings before :P

An example would help.

I'm thinking of something like this:

  Behavior = PhysicsBehavior ModuleTag_07
    Mass                 = 500.0
    VehicleCrashesIntoBuildingWeapon    = SuicideDynamitePack
    VehicleCrashesIntoNonBuildingWeapon = SuicideDynamitePack
  End

from my experience...if they crash into an object before hitting the ground they just disappear in thin air like GuyInTheWindow said....even with high detail... If they touch the ground without colliding however, they do vanish in a fireball

Heh, I'm going to have to play with it myself now, just to check :P
