Could 4.10 Update lock the SFS files again and reunite the online community?

Well, Spits vs 109 MODS is the server which most people choose to play, usually its over 50 players online

Hmmmmmm, okay I see what you mean, and I agree that the MODS are and have been truly awesome.

I think my problem has been the fracturing of the online community because of the many variations of mods needing to be installed to play on specific servers.

So rather than just seeing a server on hyperlobby and joining it, you have to see which MODs need to be activated, de-activate mods that are already not needed for the server, then join. Server may timeout, so you go to join another server, but you have to change your Mods again, repeat until you get into a server which has players....and then play!

Hmmm, now, I want to join another server....go through the above again.

Look, I have an IL2 'Vanilla' install, a HSFX 4.11 Install and a UP 2.01 install on my Hard-drive. I use the mods for movie-making, but to play online is a real chore unless you use one-server only and stick with the settings.

Sadly, due to other commitments in an IL2 movie, I just haven't been able to get much time online lately, but wondered what the feeling would be to making 4.10 'unified' so that 4.10 Servers can be joined by anyone running 4.10, rather than a multiple switch on and off before even attempting to join?

Again: There is a program called IL2 Server Library, which will auto-detect and auto-enable the necessary mods for each server

what is the issue about anyway?

Il2 works independently from the Windows registry. If you want to fly stock you can fly stock if you want to fly mods you can fly mods if you want to fly both you can fly both. nobody forces you to do either.

Not really where the thread was meant to be heading? More about the fact if everyone has the same install, all servers are available with 4.10. Not a case of changing a setting (or many) before entering a server.

The link above to IL2 Server Library is pretty impressive, although enhancements are allowed on the Warclouds Server, they seem to be disabled when using IL2 Server Library to enter though

I think this conflict is like protestantism and catholicism, one splitted from the other. There was a big conflict in the start but now one respects each other. I think they must be splitted at least,not forced by one side to be united( It would be awesome but I think Its impossible)
