Well, the biggest all encompassing mod is BAT. Huge download, but most mod campaigns will work with it. It encompasses every era from WWI through jets. Install can be a pain, but it's not too difficult. Full disclosure, I had the original issue of BAT, other than the vast download, it wasn't hard to install. After a total computer failure, I went to re-download it and saw that it was already back to what it was when it was CUP. Download this patch to fix this that this patch messed up so this service pack can fix what the previous patch broke. Which is what put me off of the original CUP to begin with. Not to mention I don't want WWI, the inter war years and don't want IL2 for jets much past Korea (which is now all included and why the d/l is so huge). Anyway YMMV, it's the big daddy of the modpacks. Needs 4.12.2M VP Modpack is smaller download, a little more orientated towards eye candy (though it does include it's fair share of aircraft, just more mainstream stuff). It includes several campaigns and a few have been redone for it. For install you need to make one edit to your Config file and delete one folder after one of the updates. for 4.12.2m HSFX is more geared for on line play, but there is a lot of off line content for it. Pretty easy install, but development is dead. 4.12.2m Ultra Pack is supposed to still be under development. Haven't used it for ages since you have to roll back to 4.10 level patching. Of course there are the "official" TD patches that take the vanilla game up to 14.3.3m. Several great campaigns available for it on M4T

There seems to be an ever-increasing trickle back to '46 from more recent sims it seems, evidenced by the server I ineptly thrash about on. Variety of kites and scenarios being the attraction I wager. I too have downloaded IL2 1946 STEAM and installed it. Having a few problems. 1. installed directly on C drive. have icon on desktop, but clicking on icon sometimes starts the sim and other times does not??? 2. seems that when I had this sim installed years ago I could change the screen info (bottom left) from km'hr and meters, to MPH and feet. cant find that setting now?? 1. Not in 'Program files' is it? Move it if so. 2. Should be there, have you checked if a key is assignable in 'controls'?

MK2, Here is the Main BAT Source: BAT Latest 208 page manual: http://www.mediafire.com/?gacqu2fpijsnqrb This is a huge package which covers pretty much the entire history of combat flight from WWI to the Spanish Civil War, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, up to the 70s and 80s jets choppers, vehicles, etc. It may seem daunting but if the instructions are followed, in sequence, the end result is amazing. Be advised, the BAT package is based on IL2 1946 version 4.12.2 and will not work on the newer 4.13 versions. There is a long history as to why this BAT mod package is 4.12 based but rest assured, you will have much more of everything with 4.12.
