Hi,
I would personally recommend starting by looking at the latest HSFX Mod Pack. Those guys keep developing it and a lot of people use it for either online or offline. For example, there are some online squadrons that love it. It comes with the mods activator or you can add some mods manually, too. If you want to join HyperLobby online or fly with a squad then you need to make a copy version which meets their requirements. For offline, its easier of course. Feel free to look at other mod pack, too (HistoMod, DBW, or UltraPack)
It is very important to keep your original downloads and also simply copy the whole IL-2 folder once you get it patch to the correct stock patch needed for the latest HSFX. After you get the HSFX mod pack installed, then make another copy of that whole IL-2 folder. You can copy the folder to someplace, rename it something like, "IL-2_HSFX_7.1" and then drop it right next to your other copy of IL-2. I used to have 2-3 versions of IL-2 right next to each other. Feel free to install, copy, or move the whole IL-2 to the disc partition right next to Users, Windows, Program Files, and other major folders. It won't hurt a thing and you really need to have your working version that you will actually use be outside Program Files somewhere anyway.
