Hello, everyone
I must say that getting a major mod pack will blow your mind with amazement at all the content - both planes and mods. ACE-OF-ACES has a point here.
It's worth borrowing money to buy a cheap external hard drive. I have a 1TB HD that I bought for 100 U.S.A dollars which has a trillion byte storage, but you could get a used HD at a local computer store for about $25.00. IL-2 runs well from an external drive.
Since you are pressed for hard drive space, you probably should either use the SAS method of custom installation over a 4.09m or get the HSFX 4.1 with the Silver Plate B-29 which will need about 11 GB of space, if I remember correctly - anybody remember? (Mine has additional content added, so I just can't check it and tell you from that.)
Here is my guide with all the basic areas to get you started. I think that you will be able to make a decision based on this:

Have fun with everything!
