As far as I understand there is no reason why you can't join a modded server if you've got the standard game. (as long as their patched to the same level ie 4.09m and moded 4.09m)

One problem may occur if the mission designers don't put a standard plane into a mission. If you select a modded plane with out the mods, when you join the mission your hanging in space and can't do anything.

At the moment the problem is nobody has released a moded 4.09m dedicated server yet.

Anyone here know if the UNmodded (read: BEST/CLASSIC) version of Spit_vs_109 will convert to 4.09m?

I'm not into MODs, and that was my favorite server (before someone decided to set a modded one and ruin all the fun for the lovers of the original game). I know Zeke_vs_Wildcat is a nice server too, but I'm starting to miss the black crosses. Can't stand those red circles anymore...

I was in a rush to download it as well.
I have never played it yet, as you say no servers have made the change, or hardly any of the popular ones.
Modded is here to stay, like it or not.
History mod version 4.0 will fit onto 4.09m and I am sure the AAA unified installers will update as well soon.
4.08m is dead long live the new king 4.09m
Please do not see this as a pro mod post and delete it, it is for information only on the current online state of the game

I hosted about 8 v409m COOPS last night with full 16 slots so there's pilots out there on the standard version just waiting for hosts, the mods are not the be all and end all as far as servers are concerned, I see lots of unmodified pilots on v409m simply waiting for a host.

Most of the conversation on comms is that the v409m flies much smoother and the load times are much faster compared to a modded game.

Yeap, more and more 4.09m hosts exist.

Yesterday in Czech server I was trying for 5' to join, as it was full !!!

I guess it's only a matter of time to see more and more servers switching to 4.09m.

Do not get me wrong, I have 4.08, 4.09bm and 4.09m on my machine plus assorted mods. In fact our squad are flying a 4.08 game this weekend.
I whole-heartedly agree there are thousands of fliers waiting for servers to start hosting 4.09m.

I have SAS AAA UltraPack , and a few other to mention, that have interesting ideas and some have clearly biased FM DM WM but the concept of some of their mods is interesting to say the least.

The Bombs Away Server uses v408m modded maps just so the more interesting bombers can be flown.

Its going to be interesting to see if cockpits are made for 410's B17 FW200 etc etc and officially incorporated into future updates.

Any ways Im off for 6-8 weeks Touring France so I can forget about updating my server and making new maps and databases till I get back

Be good all.

I just bump this, cause I'm amazed that not even half of HL's servers have switched to 4.09m. What's going on? Are we gonna have so many different versions active?
4.08, 4.09, modded...too many I think.
At least all "official" servers should switch to the..."official" release imo.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the main reason is mod compatibility. UI 1.2 was never intended to work with the 4.09m (official patch) content. If a server upgraded to 4.09m, mods would not be supported. I guess these servers were afraid of losing this portion of their player base.

However, an announcement has just been made that UI 1.2.5 will be released soon. It will include content from and be compatible with 4.09m. It will have a new switcher with only two options...4.09m and 4.09m Mod. This is basically what the community has wanted all along.

Once UI 1.2.5 is released, most servers will probably switch over to 4.09m.
