SAS Buttons / Mod Activator + AAA Mods, Aviaskin Mods, C6 Mods, UltraPack etc. I really don't care which site hosted it, if it's nicely done and has value for me, I'll get it.

Honestly, I don't think a unified installer will happen. Firstly, it would be too much of a compromise and while lacking many mods it would still be enormous in size and load time. Secondly... should there be one? Yeah, sorry, I don't want to offend anyone but I'm starting to get irritated when people complain that some mod sites are messing online play - it's not the mods, it is the people who abuse them (be they kids who don't care or overly "competitive" adults).

Il-2 is an offline, stricly historical experience for many people and it's great that finally there are mods that fix awfull FM's or edit in some way (even stricly visual / 3D model) the stock aircraft and objects.

AAA (which I love, and I've been a member of for over a year) is a host of many amazing mods, but it's aimed mostly towards online. SAS is the offliner's dream. The other mod sites are something in between, I'd say. And all of them have amazing visual enhancements, great new planes, maps, objects and improvements to stock Il-2 that deserve to be used. What's so bad with that?

Again, I fully understand why some people are concerned about mods (esp. changes to stock FM) affecting online flying in a very bad way. So if there's a way to create a unified setup for all the different communities that would guarantee smooth and honest online play, yes, I fully support it. But not at the cost for us offliners to sit beside and growl with our awful FMs, poor AI and buggy looking stock planes. Deal with the people who abuse modding when flying online, not the modders themselves.

WOW! Wonderfully put. I share many of your sentiments sir! I have been here at AAA since the beginning, but I am an offliner. For years at Ubizoo I took the abuse from online crowd and purist crowd that shoved the offliners into a closet. And we put up with TERRIBLE historical inaccuracies. I have no dissrespect for AAA. There are wonderful people and modders and mods here. However, I hate it when the offliners have to take a hike AGAIN to cater to online crowd. At some point it just gets silly. Kate and Avenger FM's prove my point. I love both sites, but I really enjoy some great mods as SAS. I must say, I am a little biased, but as an offliner I don't get very moments to bask in goodness. I am really glad there is a site that caters to offline mods and gaming. It feels like we finally have a say in the comunity, at last!
