Expert Mode - First introduced in HSFX5. This is from the HSFX5 Readme
Code:
EXPERT mode
Highly recommended that you try this.
Developed for SEOW but the same changes should be universally applicable.
This Switcher Option activates Aachens FULL FM's. (see full explanation below)
Custom ini's (see below, Ground and Ships) reduce load and we believe, make the ground and naval war more realistic. Tanks, Guns & Infantry perform more efficiently and historically in relation to each other. Outcomes of Naval battles are more as you might expect them to be, naval AAA uses effective rather than maximum ranges.
Ranges are usually less and reload times longer, so you can have more objects in missions or you can turn up the RoF settings.
The blast radius of larger Kilo bombs are equalized out so that IJN and Soviet bombs display similar blast characteristics to LW ordinance. (Not sure why they should have been so radically different, the power is similar, but the blast radius were radically different for the same amount of explosives.
Because this is its own unique net version we were able to enable a few extra opening Canopies for this option as the incompatibility that creates the smoke bug should not arise.
This is NOT compatible online with the Stock Game (you will not be able to join), it effectively turns HSFX into its own Net version. You will not be able to join Stock games with it, and stock games will not be able to join you. Host and Client both have to be running this Option with its own HSFXv5.0 net version to use this compatibly Online.
This Option allows us to explore a lot of new options without compromising the stock game, Oleg's FM's or the online community.
( note : If you drag the buttons or other files from this into your stock game version piecemeal because you like a specific FM etc, you will get a no boot.
This is deliberate. )

Aachens Flight Models
A little Background:-
Aachen is a professional Aircraft design engineer, we were not sure if we wanted to go in this direction at first, but were so impressed by how much closer to what we have read flying some of these aircraft and fighting in them has come, that it was inconceivable to go back.
We hope that you share the views of the many 'test-pilots'. You retain a choice still anyhow. Using the full work is strictly optional.
Note:-
In Stock Configuration Oleg's Flyables are all Stock (by Oleg or TD) although all new aircraft * that Aachen has worked on have his FM's also.
In 'Expert Mode' All of the aircraft below use Aachens FM's.
We have altered the Netcode and the encryption for this mode, so that players cannot use the modified ‘Stock’ FM’s on stock servers.
Those that play online require very reasonably that everybody is playing with the same.
Expert mode is to protect this desire.
