I'm sure a lot of hard work went into the HSFX mod, but without knowing how to compress the .sfs files for myself, this mod is of no use to me. Compressing the .sfs files is a good idea, but its benefits start to diminish once you start putting your own custom mods back into your mods folder. I have spent a considerable amount of time tailoring my game to get it just where I want it, and putting the mods that I prefer back into my mods folder to overwrite the ones that come with this mod will increase the load times back to where they were to start with.
I am not a big fan of all the new mega packs. This trend of having a 3 or 4 gig download just to add a few aircraft that have not been released as stand-alone mods is becoming a real bore. If having the files compressed back to .sfs format is the new direction that the modding community is going, that's fine. I just think that it would be more useful to have a tutorial on how to compress our own mods to the .sfs format rather than to download mega pack after mega pack. This way your game can be tailored to your own taste rather than having to have your game set up the way someone else tells you it should be.
