Hello, I've been playing with the latest 1.16(fix1) allmods for a while but now I see that there are mods that offer improved cockpits and other things and they are incompatible(?) with the latest version.
Is that right? (I don't want to mess a rather complicated installation of 1.16 by trying)
And if yes - which version is the most "definitive" if I want to fly with improved cockpits (namely AH64D) for example?
And where can I find download links? I've found 1.15 and 1.15.2 I think but people mention newer versions here and there

On the main page of the wiki, there is install instructions, and links to the last stable release.

The one that XIII linked to above is still in testing, but is mostly stable, and it will likely be the next main release.

Improved cockpits are 1.15.4 version, which is mod of the 1.15.2. there are no newer version of this mod for latest version, provided link contain just some features. and It's true that these features will be part of the 1.16.1 soon (same as Mi-28 instruments).
You can check for updates 1-2 months later, I am in the process of code migration but can't provide any estimations I am afraid - too much stability and compatibly issues makes process really slow. And boring.

Thanks, but where can I find a 1.15.4 download in the meantime? I've found 1.15.2 but having trouble finding that one

that's right - you need to install 1.15.2, then clickable cockpits ver0.3

Will the new version of 1.16 you put out soon with all the 1.15.4 cockpits and other mods added be faster in Puerto Rico Nightmare map with everything on when game is not paused? I get a fraction of the framerates when the sim is not paused and I'm trying to play it. More sparse maps, I get 120fps Vsynced. My framerates like triple when I'm paused.

More features (like avionics or physics) means worse performance. Game utilize single CPU core so it's very processor-dependent, especially on maps with huge amount of units. It's possible to optimize the code but it can give about 10-20% speed up, I (personally) can't see a point to waste time on it, which I have no anyway.
If code will be converted to multi-threaded (Parallel Programming) it will give 100-200% speed up, but I am not SF engineer and not capable to do that.

It's really too bad the EE2 graphics system couldn't be used. Such a highly efficient engine on that one. Horrible flight model, though, much worse than modded EECH's sort of quirky one. EE2 seems to have no direction-of-motion weathervaning/streamlining effect caused by the air. You can twirl around at any speed in it.
