Utrapack is HSFX plus a few add-ons. HSFX was designed for online campaigns using the the Scorched Earth (SEOW) system. Thus, not every mod available was deemed necessary or, indeed, good enough for SEOW purposes. So the required ones were added and the .sfs files re-compressed for for faster loading times and ease of use. HSFX superseded the old AAA UI packs. Ultrapack takes HSFX and adds some of the missing mods that they deem relevant. However, they are not in compressed form, unlike HSFX. HSFX, and therefore Ultrapack, are both designed so that extra mods can be added easily if so wished.

:cheers:

That and the mods that HSFX did included got some level of testing applied to them to make sure they all play togther..

To make the analogy the makes of UltraPak are no different than any other 'user' if HSFX..

In that they start with HSFX as the base and add is mods they want to add in to taylor HSFX to thier preferences..

The problem there is many..

One if you have different preferences than the UltraPak guys you will be very hard pressed to remove a mod they included..

Perfect example of that is Freddy's highly detailed P51 and P47 cockpits..

For guys with good PCs they will not notice much, but for guys with older PC and Video cards they will find the UltraPak P51 and P47s that use Freddy's cockpits allmost imposable to fly due to the FPS hit due to the higher detailed cockpits

That is just one example

So in summary HSFX was a taylored package that only included the approved and tested SOW mods..

And UltraPack is HSFX with the kitchen sink of all mods included..

Some mods that some people will like..

Some they wont like..

And find it hard if not imposable to remove those mods..

In short it is better IMHO to start with HSFX and add the mods you yourself want and not let the UltraPak guys decide for you which mods your going to like.
