Question about use of NEW maps in single & campaign miss
#1

I hope this doesn't sound to dim but...I've downloaded all the new maps just to have them & occasionally use them with in-game QMB ( and Mission Mate) As described else where I do have some problems getting some of them to fully function with QMB( they work ok with set-up dogfights but not with Armor,airfield ,bridge settings.)I've tried differnt ways of solving thses small problems but am losing my crazed enthusiasm to get everything to work perfectly...
Soooooooooooo...my question is this : Am I still ok for new MOD single & Campaign & COOP missions that are becoming available? Will most of them load & play ? Even if I don't have the map they use either installed or ( apparently) not fully functional with QMB? Are the maps usually loaded with the map they use or do they "point" to usable maps already in my game folder? I've already seen some of new Mosquito missions have Null or no-load messages.
I've never really thought about this before so I figured now was a good time ...

It sounds like your having a QMB issue, Not a map one.

If you can load a Map in FMB, Drop an Item, then Save the map as a .mis then your maps are installed just fine and you shouldn't have an issue with any Campaings.

They all work as long as I fly with "None" as" Target " setting in QMB...but only a a few ( mostly old default maps plus Slovakia& BoB) work if I put Armor,Bridge, Airfielsd, Scramble etc... Everything else seems to work fine with all the other Mods....its just this one thing that won't go...Interstingly enough the one fix with QMT+ did make the BoB map useable...?!
All Maps show up in FMB & appear usable ( although I've never had the guts or time to try to actually design a mission in all the years I've played this sim...)

You know...most of the maps that "work" are listed in file root/MODS/MAPMODS/maps/all.ini
an example of which shows up as:
Battle_of_France_1940 ash_BoF/ash_load.ini

Does this have anything to do with which ones work in QMB or not

Do you have all of the necessary missions for each map in your "quicks" folder? Besides the "none" missions for both red and blue you need to to have missions for "scramble" "airbase" "armor" etc., for each new map in order to fly such missions in QMB+.
