So if you wanted to install an aircraft, you'll need to drop in the data files on the activated mod directory, and then read the installation instructions in the readme which usually contains the lines to add to files such as air.ini, plane_ru.properties, and weapon_ru.properties, for example.

However, installing some of the mods such as additional aircraft usually also involves manually editing certain table files in the main data structure of the modded game, because this game never gained any kind of modular table system. HSFX6 likewise reads data from MODS directory. SAS ModAct for example creates a directory called #SAS and makes the game load all data in that particular directory, so you can add your custom modifications there in contained directories.

That's the basic mod management in a nutshell.ДЇor installing custom additions to mods, you need to delve a bit deeper into how your particular mods work. Move appropriate mods from left to right. In your modded installation, you should find a tool called JSGME.exe (generic mod enabler). Because of this, it's advisable to always have a clean unmodded copy of IL-2 around, which you can then copy into a new directory and apply mods on that.ДЄfter a mod has been installed, it likely needs to be activated. Uninstallation of mods is possible in theory but generally not recommended because it's really easy to miss something, and mods generally don't come with 'uninstallation' utilities. So, if you want to install HSFX 6, you make a clean unmodded copy of IL-2 4.12.1, and install the mod on that directory. Regardless of what you install, you should ALWAYS install a mod over a clean, unmodded IL-2 directory of correct version. Most mod packs are pretty similar as far as installation is concerned. If you don't care much about single player you can pick anything however I would recommend HSFX 6 over UltraPack, since it uses the most modern version of IL-2. So, if you intend to play multiplayer, I would say SAS ModAct and associated mods are the best way to go.

Most multiplayer servers however use stock game, and although some of them allow mods to be used, you obviously need to be using a mod that doesn't change flight models or other such gameplay features. The HSFX expert mode is mostly used in multiplayer events known as SEOW events, which are basically co-operative multiplayer team vs team events in a persistent scenario. Obviously, this mode is only compatible with HSFX expert mode servers, which are not very common. The main selling point of HSFX is that it is supposed to be compatible with stock servers in the basic mode (although there are some inconvenient errors with this), but it also has a so-called 'expert mode' which is supposed to change the flight models of certain aircraft to a more realistic direction. However it is designed primarily for use with HSFX servers.

The main difference between these two is that SAS ModAct is a barebones mod activator (although it does come with a compilation of very useful mods) and you will probably want to build up your modded game installation by yourself. If you want the benefits of using the latest official game version (4.12.1) then your selection of mods is practically limited to SAS ModAct and HSFX. Some are for both single and multiplayer use, but are only compatible with servers running that particular mod pack. Some mod packs are designed for single player use. What you should get depends on how you want to fly. Mod packs for older version of IL-2 include UltraPack 3 and Dark Blue World (DBW for short). This is usually referred to as mod activator and all mod packs share some version of this.Д¬urrent major mod packs for the latest version of IL-2 1946 (version 4.12.1m) are HSFX 6 and SAS ModAct 5.3. The first thing you need to do for getting mods for IL-2 is to actually have a way to activate mods. The bulk of asset modding is very similar to what FSO modding is like - making new aircraft, textures and maps, but a big scene is also skinning, and it is much harder to get a fully featured aircraft modded in IL-2 than putting a new ship to FSO (largely because of model format, animations for control surfaces, landing gear, cockpit model, etc. Lots of things can be done and there's some pretty interesting mods around, but compatibility problems are often a problem trying to get mods to play nice with each other. Instead, there is some limited amount of DLL modding going on for some specific purposes (which I will mention later), but most of the game changing modding is done with java coding.

IL-2 modding is a bit more convoluted (and fractured) than FS2 modding but mostly because the game itself needs a bit of modification to get it to read mods from non-stock places and there is nothing like source code project going on, so the core executable doesn't really change.
