I have recently done a new installation with UI 1.1 just to become CRT2 compatible and to be able to use online servers again. The switcher facility to move between different versions works really well. So far I have had no problems with it. My base installation includes MAT Manager which was installed into the unmodded version.
I did find duplication of some files in root/files and root/MODS/STD, so I just moved everything into MODS/STD to cut out duplicates.
I updated to latest Aircraft Installer 3.8 and have installed various new mod aircraft with no effect on CRT2 compatibility. I guess this is only affected if you alter files for aircraft included in UI 1.1.
My rule for new mods is always do a manual install so that you know precisely which files are being overwritten. Doing it this way its a long time since I had a problem. I now prefix all new mods in the MODS folder with xxx so that I know which were not included in 1.1
The Cirx tutorials provide a great guide on how to do manual installations for those who have never done it. Its not very difficult once you know what to do.
