OK this is something ive really wanted to know so here goes...
how would you all feel about reverting back to 4.05 for modding only- this way we could all mod anything we wanted - we could have 2 copies of the game 4.05 & 4.08/09(when it comes) our AAA server could run 4.08 to keep the real harsh mods out such as heavy fm cheats ect but if there is call for it we could run a 4.05 server perhaps
so 4.08 we keep for online play
4.05 for offline play maybe small lan parties
Remember its seems that most things are possible for 4.05
& a lot is not possible with 4.08
also we could still make 4.08/09 mods but we could really start making cool mods for 4.05
we could have some fun ? maybe

Alot of people here are just along for the ride, like myself, and have no idea what could be done in 4.05 versus impossible to do in 4.08.
Perhaps a list of things which are possible only in 4.05 so that people would be more convinced about having 2 separate installs?

Weapon load outs? If you say that you can add rockets to the Mossie I'm all for it. Except that I will no longer have a Norway map to fly it on :?
Yuppie! We'll have Spitfire Mk.IB and Mk.IIB!
PS: Is there any problem to add planes from 4.08 to 4.05? And maps? We have 3D and all the other files we need, don't we? OK, no ace skill AI fighters, better La-5 fuel tank and many other things, but...
As far as I've read the wasy posts il2 4.05 is more customizable. He had even added a couple of NEW planes into it! If only we could import the new objects present in 408 and the upcoming 409 into 405, that would be really great!
Before we change and add anymore stuff could it be possible for someone to remove redundant mods. I no longer know whats new, whats old, is the new mod update in the new pack, it is getting very messy in here with everyone adding new versions and not removing the old one Mods.
Other than this please carry on.
the mods are not messy - they are updated to new versions & there is NOT several of the same mod - there is also a bomber-mod-pack which has most bomber mods in it if people want it.
the mods are well organised imho

I think we should start work on 4.05 as well. We can still finish updating the flyables for 4.08,
If you can import all of the planes and maps and objects from 4.08 into 4.05, then I am OK with going back to 4.05. However, some people onloy have 1946. You would have to find a file to overwrite or a way to go from 4.08 to 4.05 .... If new planes/maps/objects cannot be imported from 4.08, I would rather stay with 4.08 and see how good we can do. These are just my thoughts. There will be problems no matter which way you go. Seem to be the way it is sometimes :?
my dear Mr Jolly,
Please dont take this as an attack on you or your mods. I love what you are doing and am one of your greatest fans and supporters. But look at the mod down loads section and you will find that it contains the very first B17 mod as well as all the b25 mods that all have been upgraded and the packs plus the lastest b17 updates and bomber packs. Now which is the latest B17 mod? the last single or is it the bomber pack which is the very lastest one? OK, maybe it just me and I am just too stupid, to understand and keep this straight in my head, but too me the mod site is becoming full of old mods , mod that have been up graded and the site becoming clogged with out of date mods. I am just suggesting that If any mod is now out of date or if it has been upgraded then the old mods should be pulled, remove the old redundent materials just to clean up the sit and make it easer to keep it clear as to what is the latest mods, thats all I'm saying.
