If it is 409M you should be able to find a suitable mod package and go from there. Ultrapack \HSFX uses the Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler for activating some mods and the overall mods folder is turned off by default if my memory serves me well. Its also a good idea to visit the SAS site occasionally and keep your buttons file updated. Both UP and HSFX have compressed their mods to an SFS format so you get a bit quicker load times but thay are capable of running mods from both the mods folder and the JSGME executable that comes with the download.

Im using XP and Steam gives me the 4.08m version of IL2. My next step is to update to 4.09m and then mod from there.
And of cousre i always make my save files of files which i change, but it doesn't owrk for a Steam version which i had to experience on the hard way.
By the way, thanks very much for the help of all of you so far! Seems a great community here. My 1st day and i feel welcomed!
Cheers lads!
