• Freddy's 109 cockpits(this is a must have)
• ALL FW 190 A & D Cockpits(another must have)
• 6 DOF Tracker version
• Avala's planeshine mod
• SKIN MOD v1.3 + a few skinpacks(Pacific and Hurricanes)
• Weapon hit effects 1.2 (mg effects) BETA
• Weapon Hit Effects Mod + Rocket Trail v1.3(cannons and rockets), BETA
• New curving bullet trail effect, BETA

This is the post I am referring to. Is this the current "must have" mods still?

I am looking for a link (by PM) to the cloud and sound mods...

That post is a bit outdated, but I've got an easy alternative for you:

Google

AAA+unified installer

and select the first result that turns up. That should lead you to the AAA Unified Installer version 1(with 1.1 coming out soon), which is the easiest option to start with. Pretty much all of the must-haves are included there, and what isn't can easily be added(AI mod, I'm looking at you!). We also use that in our Subsim flightnights.

I recommend you make a copy of your IL2 4.08 installation and use that to play with mods. That way, should you mess up, you can simply delete the non-working installation and make another copy of your intact, original installation and continue to play. Just plain copy+paste+rename of the IL2 folder works for that, and you can make as many copies as your hd-space allows. I've got three: One with a completely custom compilation of mods, one with Unified Installer and one with JG53 Modpack. On top of that I've got an IL2 4.08 installation packed up and burned on a DVD.

No need to copy the entire folder, you only need to backup two files. The stock il2fb.exe and the stock files.sfs. As if those two files are copied back, the game wont recognise the mod or the files folder that the mods use.

Yeh, I know. The JG53 pack has a cool ground smoke in it. Need to see if it is compatible with the rest of the smokes as I dont want to lose them.
