Looking at the other super mods the last thing I wanted was to make the game harder. GFO appears to fix the bugs and will make the interface/learning curve a little more user friendly for those of us that love the sim but without the realism. What I was looking for was an improved version of SH1, and I think GFO will accomplish that for me. It looks like a lot of work has gone into this project and I'm eager to give it another shot.
I will say that reading this thread from page 1 gave me some appreciation for all the modders out there, and I learned the proper way for installing a mod, thus saving time and a duplicate post! Time well spent!!
Thanks Webster for the effort!

thanks
i wanted to try to make a big mod that fixes everything or as much as i can without changing too much so its as close to stock as possible. the idea was to leave the "customising" to you the player since we all like or dislike different things.
there are still many stock "bugs" that werent fixed because doing so meant forcing game play style choices on you that you may not want, but also some things arent fixed because i didnt have fixes for them.
GFO may not be the most game polished mod but its about as fixed as you can get and still be mostly stock.
- the airplane thing, i would suggest you try GFO as is first, i think i have solved the unrealistic aircraft thing for you so see what its like before you add another aircraft mod, if for no other reason then to have something to compare results.
- time compression drops out for anything so any activity in the area drops you to normal TC so you can check out what it is. if this werent the case you would find yourself dead and never know you sailed into a task force or a plane bombed you.
- CTD are most often a running out of system memory capacity thing so clean up your files and defrag and do a disk cleanup and such before you play and it helps reduce them a lot
