Guys-here I go again, throwing my humble two cents worth into it.
The core of the IL-2 Society leaders agreed that HSFX 4.1 would be the standard for online flying, which it is. It also allows easy adding of mods. One could load it with many more mods, but that would defeat one of the advantages-HSFX 4.1 has a fast load time-good for online flyers.
If you will only be flying offine-and it sounds like that is the case-then you can add any mod and any number of mods, no problem. Now here is the key point: How much collecting of mods will you do?
If you only want to try a mod pack and maybe add a mod or two, then HSFX 4.1 is all you need. If you want many mods, then I recommend UltraPack 2.0, 3.0, or the UI ( UI 1.1 + UI 1.2 ).
On a final note: The UI is still alive for offline flying and collecting of mods. Also, a few guys have not been able to get any other mod pack for various reasons. There is nothing wrong with using the UI, especially if you make an informed decision.
However, with all this having been written, I feel that you will get hooked, so to speak and eventually want more. :wink:
Hello Fireskull,
well i fly offline only gave up online a few years ago well in short here is why i choose for HSFX before over the UI. i was using the UI 1.1 + 1.2 but i could never use the 4.09 official patch(and i want that very much). That's the reason i changed to HSFX and the fact i hear from AAA moderators and modders there won't be a new UI version made againand it's not compatible with the 4.09 patch, so i figured it's a dying version. So i changed to HSFX and that actually worked once. then i did something wrong with a MOD install so unisnstalled all also checked register etc. now i can't get it to work again. Like i say before it installs corect, it opens corect (screen and version), i can choose a career, i can select the plane, the plane skin, the pilotskin, everyting but then it goes bad. once i click the buton to start the mission it CTD. Now if ithat is because i use a lot of MODS and payed add-ons i dunno. All i know is UI is not realy an option because it will not be supported any longer. All i want is fly offline with all the MODs ever possible and add-ons (i have ostfront and BOE but plan to buy more). So which version should i use? I don't realy know the UP? but i think that is for online flying no?
S!
