You do not have to start new. I successfully "uninstalled" HSFX and switched my IL2 base install to UP2.0 with no problems by simply following these steps:
1) Open GME and move all HSFX mods from right to left.
2) Move the 4.09m default "mod" from left to right
3) Run the game and ensure it loads as stock 4.09m. Run a QMB just to be sure that the game is running correctly.
4) Delete the Files folder, MODS folder (if you have it), jsgmemods folder, and all root level *.sfs files which have "hsfx" in the file name. Also you can delete the folder containing the HSFX documentation files.
5) Run the game again just to be sure stock 4.09m runs with no problems.
If 4.09m runs stock, then simply install UP2.0 per the installer.
With UP 2.0 you will have HSFX also, so you are not really losing HSFX, but have options, which is the really cool thing about UP2.0.
All in all, its painless, and best of all is you can keep your current offline campaigns, control configuration, and config.ini settings intact for running in UP2.0!
Good luck, and fun flights!
