...how many planes is the limit?

As I learned by my direct experience and by the teaching of modders more experienced than me, the so called "plane limit" is, in reality, a memory limit caused by the number of classfiles loaded by the game (the same number of classfiles that influence the starting loading time of the whole game).

Said that, all mods that add classfiles in the MODS folder (not only planes, but also vehicles, effects, etc etc etc...) can lead to exceed the memory limit.

We usually talk about "plane number limit" because, instead of removing/disabling visual-structural-effects mod, it's easier (and got more sense) to "disable" a plane putting // in front of the plane line in the air.ini file (without the entry line, the game will not load classfiles for that plane). This also give you the "solution" for this "problem": you don't have to delete mod folders, you can mantain all your effects and structural mods, and create different themed air.ini files (by now I have 7 air.ini, characterized by containing planes of a specific period or theatre of war) that you can choose before starting the game. This also give you a little more speed in game starting time (at least I think).

Just an observation: disabling a plane does not works exactly like "remove a plane and add a plane": the mod weight is essentially given by the number of classfiles (and, if we go further in analysis, the dimension of the classfile).
So, for example, a mod with 6 classfiles and 4 air.ini entries could be lighter than a mod with 1 air.ini entry and 14 classfiles, and consequently disabling many "light" planes could not prevent from a memory error when you add a "heavy plane".
This is useful to keep in mind when you will split your air.ini in many little "themed air.ini".
Hope this will help, I tried to be as clearer as I can with my poor english.
And if I said something wrong, I will be happy to be corrected (so I will learn something more! :-\)

Thanx Benelli, all you wrote is very clear and also very useful, and you are totally right, when you fly, say, a Med campaign for ex, you don't need to load all the Russian or Japanese planes in your game ... especially if you have a full load of mods in it ...  ;)

Thanks to all for the helpful advice! I did reduce some entries in "air.ini" and that fixed the problem. The Cant 506Z and Hs-123 load just fine now, and so does the IK-3. I'm ready for the Ki-45!!!

Seriously, many thanks to Epervier and all who keep 4.09 going!

Cheers,
Herb
