If you are using the version switch that is included in UI 1.2 as it was in UI 1.1 you can select one of six versions of the current game.
4.08m Standard (No MODS)
4.08m Mod (Adds the MODS minus the maps requiring 4.09b1 graphics)
4.08m Mod with 6DOF (This is for TrackIr or Free Track users minus the maps requiring 4.09b1 graphics)
4.09B1 Standard (No MODS)
4.09b1 Mod (Adds the MODS including the maps requiring 4.09b1 graphics)
4.09b1 Mod with 6DOF (Adds the MODS including the maps requiring 4.09b1 graphics for TrackIR and Free Track users
The Icon is in the root folder of IL-2 1946 and can be placed on your desktop for easy access to switch between the different versions that appear on HyperLobby. The only thing you can't do is switch between UI1.1 and UI 1.2. You will need two separate installs for this. There is a version switcher icon in each installation and if you copy each to your desktop they will direct themselves to the appropriate UI version. So you see it is not too complicated.
And as others have said, if there is a mod which you do not wish to run then simply put a minus sign in front of the folder and it won't run.
Since 4.09m final came out approximately a week before the release of UI 1.2 there simply was not time to adapt the new unified installer to it. Eventually there will be a UI installer or patch to adapt the mods to the 4.09m final and the beta version 4.09b1 will go away. The goal was to have everyone using the same version to start out and be CRT2 compatible for online play.
