Depends what your looking for in a mod? There are a few big mods out there. HSFX is what the Lolwaffles use. Best to make a copy of your vanilla install so you can add a couple of them as they are not compatible with each other. I have a vanilla install, HSFX install and Ultra Pack with Dark Blue World as 3 installs.

HSFX is great for multiplayer, but in saying that Ultra Pack holds its own as well, Dark Blue World which is used in conjunction with UP is a lot better if you want to play offline, plus it has more planes, especially ones which I have just found that are from the 1950's with homing missiles!

If you want to fly with the Lolwaffles you need to install Patches 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.10.1.
Then you install HSFX 5.0 on top of that, and the hotfix for HSFX 5.0.1.

All clear?
