Don't know, I dont't use vp's modpack. I suggest trial run: if it works, it works or if it does not, it does not.
Reminder : you could have several installs of il2. You can leave vp modpack alone and have a clean 412 with SAS 5,3 for all-out modding, adding the two files requirement, and much more eventually. Since that starts at zero, better still: another instance of a modded-appllied game; that one you change, leaving the other install unchanged.
BAT is separated in several games internally.
