</>What does Ground Crew Aloft (Auto-Repair) do?
Half of every Bomber Crew mission is the engineer running from the burning engine to the shattered hydraulics to the sparking electrics and back again. Ground Crew Aloft brings the hangar team along for the ride. Auto Repair watches every system on board, the engines, fuel tanks, hydraulics, electrics and oxygen, and fixes anything that breaks after the delay you set. Auto Extinguish puts out any fire, inside the aircraft or on an engine, as soon as it starts. Fix Everything Now does the whole lot instantly, fires included, for the moment you realise the tail is already on fire. Damage still happens and still matters for a few seconds, so the drama stays. It just stops being a death spiral.

</>Common questions about Ground Crew Aloft (Auto-Repair)
What does Ground Crew Aloft do in Bomber Crew?
Ground Crew Aloft repairs your bomber for you in Bomber Crew, so the engineer can stay at the fuel and engine panel instead of running from the burning engine to the shattered hydraulics to the sparking electrics and back. With Auto Repair on, any system that breaks fixes itself after the delay you set on the Repair Delay slider. Auto Extinguish puts out any fire, inside the fuselage or on an engine, as soon as it starts. Fix Everything Now repairs every system and douses every fire in one press for the moment you notice the tail is already burning. It is a free-tier mod from ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager for 400+ games.
Which systems does Auto Repair cover?
Auto Repair in Ground Crew Aloft watches every damageable system on your Bomber Crew aircraft: all the engines, the fuel tanks, the hydraulics that run the bomb doors and landing gear, the electrical system, and the oxygen supply that keeps the crew awake at altitude. When one of them breaks, it counts down the Repair Delay you set and then restores it to working order without anyone touching a toolbox. Damage to the crew is a different matter: the mod repairs systems, not people, so a bleeding gunner still needs the medic. If you want the aircraft itself to stop taking damage in the first place, Unbreakable Bird is the companion mod for that.
What does the Repair Delay slider do?
Repair Delay in Ground Crew Aloft sets how many seconds a broken system stays broken before it fixes itself in Bomber Crew. Set it to zero and a damaged engine or hydraulic line is back in action the instant it fails, which is as close to invincible as the mod gets. Set it to ten or fifteen seconds and you keep the drama: the engine coughs, the warning flashes, the crew panics for a bit, and then it comes back without the engineer crawling down the fuselage. Longer delays suit players who still want to feel the hits and occasionally send the engineer to help; short delays suit players who want to concentrate on the dogfight and the bomb run.
Does Auto Extinguish handle engine fires as well as fires inside the aircraft?
Yes. Auto Extinguish in Ground Crew Aloft covers both kinds of fire in Bomber Crew: the ones that break out inside the fuselage and the ones that take hold on an engine. Either is put out the moment it starts, before it has a chance to spread, burn through a system or start chewing on a crew member's health. That matters because engine fires are the classic Bomber Crew death spiral, where a burning engine takes the fuel tank with it while the engineer is busy elsewhere. The switch is separate from Auto Repair, so you can let systems break and stay broken while fires alone are handled, or run both for the full hangar-crew-in-the-tail experience.
When should I press Fix Everything Now?
Fix Everything Now is the big red button in Ground Crew Aloft for when a Bomber Crew mission has already gone wrong. Press it and every system on the aircraft is repaired and every fire is out, instantly, with no delay timer. It is the option for players who prefer to fly with Auto Repair and Auto Extinguish switched off so the damage stays meaningful, but want a way out when two engines are gone, the hydraulics are dead and the tail is on fire at the same time. It is also handy right before the landing approach, when a working undercarriage and intact hydraulics are the difference between taxiing in and writing off the bomber on the runway.
