...restart game before installing new mods....

Yes, although I have successfuly installed different cloud-mods whilst the game is running to check the difference BTW-by game running I don't mean in-game/flight. I think I have to exit the mission to check out the new mod

Hi,

Yes, there are a few mods which can be installed while IL-2 is running, but it takes some practice to learn which ones. However, if a user has a good computer and an HSFX based mod pack, then IL-2 will reload after restarting in approximately 40 seconds to two minutes. While mine restarts, I usually do something else for a minute such as check my email.

Have fun with the gigantic amount of mods available-and growing everyday.
