unlike IL2 the flight sim where the mods are all packaged, HSFX or UP3, here we deal with mod soups. you could go for an all inclsusive like open horizons (OH) or just have a collection of mods (hence the name mod soup). i went with the soup and if you check out sobers thread for his mod soup that would be a guide. ive seen lists with 50 mods or just a few. u basically get what u like and dump what your dont.
heres sobers list,
