I agree with that. And it should be relatively easy to achieve this compatibility, i.e. through downloading only one, two or three files (patches) and that's it. Because I think this is the best, and maybe the only way to keep the people playing the game online and thus keep the game alive.
Therefore I second the idea of an "official AAA mod patch", maybe every 4 weeks or so. I believe that Oleg's way of continous patches was very important in keeping the game running.
Let the single mods be available for download, so people can try them out offline or on certain servers, but for online play a complete patch would be the best. I know this will bring problems with people who want their favourite planes in the game, but I think it's better to have less, but thoroughly tested mods. If everybody would have a "different" game, we would have the tower of Bable, especially because most of the people playing the game are not modders, just like me.
You at AAA gave us a whole lot of planes most people dreamed of (and I thank you that :!: ), but you also accepted a great responsibility. Just to tell you my point of view: I'd have no problem accepting a "No, this plane mod is not good enough, so we won't add it to the patch at the moment." from the AAA admin guys, because I know, there's people here, who have the knowledge and think about what they do and say. But I wouldn't like to fly online with and against people who use their own modded
