Well, I'm uninstalling Il-2 (again), and this time I'm not installing it again until university ends and I have at least a somewhat free summer. After an evening of testing it turned out that half of the planes don't have engine sounds (UI1.1 plus the UI patch). I know games eat up a lot of time, and I don't mind that... but I'd like to enjoy them, rather than losing several hours renaming files and testing.
I don't mean to sound harsh. I fully appreciate the work of modders, who (for free) have turned a great sim into a marvel. And I know they're doing the best they can to make all the mods work flawlessly. But honestly, so many mods have been released it's getting hard to tell which brakes what... and constantly reinstalling the huge Il-2 and UI (plus MAT Manager and such) after I mess up something isn't fun (yes, I'm blaming myself... but with so many mods it's not easy).
I'm simply wondering is there any chance of smaller-scale UIs? Maybe grouped thematically or periodically? A 1940-42 pack, or "Western" / "Eastern" front packs etc. It would make downloading far easier, storing mods too. That way it would be easier for slappier users like me to keep track of the installed mods and if something brakes, to easily fix the problem.
