There are only two up-to-date modpacks. One is
HSFX that you find at:
HSFX IL-2 Mod Software Releases - Public Forum
(you should currently install v7.0 on IL-2 1946 v4.12.2m and then its two updates, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2, in this order).
second is
SAS ModAct, basically a mod activator, that you find at:
SAS Modact 5.3 for IL-2 4.12.2m
whichever is your choice,
I strongly recommend to store an original of basic v4.07m,
untouched: you will always be allowed to make as many copies of it as you want (always just copy the main folder in new directories called, say, HSFX, ModAct, UP, DBW and so on), upgrade each at desired level (4.09, 4.10, etc.) and then apply mods of your choice.
Second recommendation is about adding further mods to a modpack (modpack usually stores its own mods in same original IL-2 "packaging" format, which is SFS, user adds further mods according to a different procedure):
always perform by JSGME (Jone Soft Generic Mod Enabler). This latter keeps track of all files added, warns you about possible conflicts and, above all, allows user to remove any mod
restoring everything as it was before.
Adding maps is one of the most difficult mod to perform; personally, I would suggest to install on a fresh copy of v4.12.2m the HSFX, easier to install and manage. It also includes many non-stock maps: maybe you'll find also the one of your interest.
Read carefully instruction and always mentally plan action and their possible effects before to act. Good luck and have fun! GB
