How long is a piece of string?.. It all depends on what squad you fly for and what they prefer, or if you don't belong to a squad then an install that allows you to switch between versions so its easier for compatibility..

Right you are, Trooper!

Here is the Community Generated Squadron List. Each name of a squadron is a link to their website. Find a squadron which has the aeroplanes, missions, and attitude which you prefer. They will give you help which is one on one to get you started, including the mod pack that they use.

I use HSFX 4.1 with my squadron and I love it. Adding and managing mods is easy with it. I have a different mod pack for offline flying, movie making, and adding mods. Do you want the best? This requires keeping a positive attitude and trying different things.

Enjoy the adventure!
