*Yawn*
Yet another multi-gigabyte mod package that is probably incompatible with every other mod package out there.
You know what? 4.09m stock/official runs great. Loads fast. Is compatible with everyone else running 4.09m. Doesn't require another 20gigabytes of disk space.
While the mods are great, and I've certainly had my bit of fun with them, I'll happily go back to running stock. And save myself a lot of headaches in the process.
Wrong. This thing is nice.. it loads up in @ 30 seconds on average.. as opposed to 2:35 seconds for the UI 1.2.. it has just about every mod there is that is worth anything.. and if you dont like something you can always add what you like.. It is fully compatible with 4.09m and for 4.09mM servers running CRT 2 it is a simple matter to set it up with the JSGME configurator From my understanding there isnt much difference between this and HSFX.. and correct me if I am wrong but the mods dont have to be an exact match.... just certain key mods.. and hash files...
I tend to agree with WWSandMan, although this is a very subjective issue. Although I have UI 1.2, I rarely use it. You see, I mainly fly online coops. When you fly online, the #1 issue is compatibility. If the client's version is not compatible with the host's version, they can't join.
Many times I have all my coop slots filled in HL, but when I launch the game, I find that only half of them actually joined...because of compatibility issues. No matter how much I advertise the version I am running, this seems to happen quite often these days. You can have the best mods in the world, but if players are having problems joining eachother's games, what good are they?
With each new Super-Duper Mod Pack that is released, the online compatibility issues get worse.
Of course, if you don't play online, everything I just said means nothing to you. I understand that.
At this point, I host mostly 4.09m online. There are a lot less headaches for everyone involved.

I think that with the merger of HSFX and AAA and the move towards building these things with compatibility it is just a matter of time till these issues get resolved.. and that will be sooner rather than later... as for the QMB according to the readme..

Features that have been Dropped from UP 1.8
QMB+
The 4.09 full release comes with a more developed version (also by FC) with more features , so i used this one..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This thing is best done on a clean install...
IMO one reason for all the incompatibility issues is that people are still flying 4.08m & 4.09b1m..
why? I hope that in a week or 2 that everyone will be running 4.09m or 4.09mM ... Server admins are just as culpable in the mod confusion as the mods themselves.. I have no doubt that this will all get worked out.
