easy peasy (there should also be these instructions someplace in the Knowledge Base; along the lines of "patching made easy")

 

1) Back up mods folder by renaming (I usually just us "z-*name-of-mods-folder*) Also back up Options & Version inis via the same rename

2) Install patch.

3) Run the newly patched game's exe, allow it to build "new" mods folder.

4) Start the game, pick a plane and fly it for a few minutes.

5) Copy/Paste the NEW Options and Version inis to the backed up mods folder

6) DELETE the newly build mods folder

7) Rename the backed up mods folder back to it's original name

8) Play and enjoy

 

please note, some things may have been updated; data inis, AI's made flyable may revert, and so on

It's also usually a pretty smart thing, to keep a back up of the back up (stored on an external HD, or zipped or however one wishes to do it)
