You don't need any mods for that, the functionality is already there. Just uncheck "delete after death" in the Mission Editor for all the objects you want to remain.

Oh? im playing career or pcwg mod i can do that for those misisons?

[AEthelraedUnraed]

No. Or, actually, yes, but you'll have to open the generated mission in the editor and manually change all objects that you want to remain after death.

 

I'm sorry, but that's very likely the best you're gonna get. This is not something that is moddable. You can ask Patrick Wilson if he's prepared to add the option to PWCG, but that's entirely up to him. 

 

There are very good reasons to delete objects a little while after they died, and the Devs made the right decision with their current implementation.

You could try and find and replace. Open the .mission file in something like notepad. The mission file looks like for this for a vehicle;

Vehicle
{
  Name = "NOICON";
  Index = 1126;
  LinkTrId = 1127;
  XPos = 50360.367;
  YPos = 414.147;
  ZPos = 202152.444;
  XOri = 348.71;
  YOri = 55.48;
  ZOri = 358.51;
  Script = "LuaScripts\WorldObjects\vehicles\gmc-cckw.txt";
  Model = "graphics\vehicles\gmc-cckw\gmc-cckw.mgm";
  Desc = "";
  Country = 103;
  NumberInFormation = 0;
  Vulnerable = 1;
  Engageable = 1;
  LimitAmmo = 1;
  AILevel = 2;
  DamageReport = 50;
  DamageThreshold = 1;
  DeleteAfterDeath = 1;
  CoopStart = 0;
  Spotter = -1;
  BeaconChannel = 0;
  Callsign = 0;
  PayloadId = 0;
  WMMask = 1;
  Fuel = 1;
  Callnum = 0;
  Skin = "";
  RepairFriendlies = 0;
  RehealFriendlies = 0;
  RearmFriendlies = 0;
  RefuelFriendlies = 0;
  RepairTime = 0;
  RehealTime = 0;
  RearmTime = 0;
  RefuelTime = 0;
  MaintenanceRadius = 10;
  TCode = "";
  TCodeColor = "";
}

 

The only problem is that it seems all the blocks (buildings etc) have this setting as well.
