...I get the feeling that I'm being held to ransom by users who simply want a faster loading time, and so the future of a unified mod package must go down that route.. But I don't I'm afraid, and judging by other members on this site there are quite a few who share the same opinion and would like to stick with the UI.. it's all about personal preference, unfortunately what suits one will not always suit the other, such is the varied nature of pc gaming..

Yes i can see this... but as i said, the majority of common users who just want to fly without much hassle will actually decide. Because they will choose servers they fly on so that those which don't support their choice (which seems to be the HSFX-type modpacks nowadays) will soon be deserted. So they will either have to switch themselves or alternatively find something to offer that others don't have and which is so attractive to overweight the advantages of the HSFX.

But frankly, i don't know what could that be.
