Never be afraid to mod any further.. let's face it, we wouldn't have what we have now if it wasn't for people pushing ahead and exploring other avenues..
There is a real simple solution to making any changes in your modded game.. just back everything up before any changes are made. I'm always amazed to hear stories about people having 'totaly messed' up their install by not backing up the relevant files????? If it gets porked you just return the old backed up files.
When the UI first came out I made a fresh install and used this as my online gaming install.. I still have my original install that I have modded from the start and use that for all my offline play.
When the new version of the UI comes out I'll again make a fresh install for that, and then bin the 1.1.1 version.
I also have a 'vanilla' version of IL2 patched up to 4.09, to be honest it just sits on the hard drive doing jack because I hate the stock version now. But it's there as a backup if I need it!
I've mentioned this in other posts gents, but the game has now moved on and most people have multiple installs because there is so much more scope to the game available. We simply need to move with the times that's all..
