Yes, Phase Two includes the Phase One content plus the new Solomons and Coral Sea episodes, along with the updated files. So if you install Phase Two properly and everything is working, you don’t need to keep a separate Phase One install just to play those missions. I’d still suggest keeping the Phase Two archive backed up somewhere if you can, and maybe don’t delete your Phase One install until you’ve tested Phase Two launches and the missions show up correctly. Once confirmed, removing Phase One should be safe for saving space.

That’s a good approach for the Samson. If the visual detail can be pushed through proxies without murdering performance, that’s pretty much the sweet spot for Arma work. Big airframes can get expensive fast once you start adding all the little bits directly into the model. Looking forward to seeing how it behaves in-game once it’s textured and flying around with other assets nearby. The Samson is one of those platforms where extra detail really pays off, especially around the cockpit, rotors, sensors and hardpoints.
