I'm fast coming to the conclusion that the complexity and potential "clashes" of installing the new 4.09 patch is "above my head" and I think that it would be unwise for me to risk messing up my beautifully modded sim for the sake of updating it with the latest patch. Bottom line is, I'm getting progressively more and more nervous to "mod" any further.
I realise that there have been a load of posts re this issue, but I would really appreciate it if someone out there who is "in the know" would advise us "technical novices" whether someone is going to bring out an updated unified installer (v 1.2?), for a 4.09 patched IL-2, with what are considered to be the "best" mods? - I realise that what is "best" is a matter of personal taste - eg Canon's most up-to-date map (with all seasons), all the aircraft add-on's (like the Fiesler Storch etc), Jafa's sounds (although some of "Tiger's" sound brilliant, Potenz's smoke effects, the best default skins etc etc.
I must tell you the question of "buttons" etc has become very confusing for someone like me!!
So can someone please advise me on this?
I think that we have now got a really fantastic sim - with Oleg's initial brilliance and with the combined efforts of all the "modders" out there - it would really be great if we could pretty much "draw the line" at this stage - get virtually 100% up to date with all of the best mods and play the sim like that until we get SOW (which, according to even the most pessimistic predictions, should not be that far way away - relatively speaking of course!).
