I've altered the lines in my conf.ini and bldconf. ini as per instructions.
Firing up the FMB I get the new menu, Save as Spawn etc, but when I try to open a map, any map, I get:

il2fb.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x5ed0530e" referenced memory at "0x0000051c". The memory could not be "read".

It only leaves me one choice - close down IL-2.
Can anybody help, preferably in 'Error Messages for Dummies -and How to Fix Them' mode?
Mapmaking was so easy when I used to have a theodolite and a pencil!

FMB has limitation that it can handle only small maps.
Most makers have made it from seperate maps that they "glued" together to make it one big one.
Open a small map like Palau and it will work.

To open a large map you first have to create a small actors.static file using actors tools.
That gets quite complicated. Best to work with a small map to begin with.
The actors.static contains the object references.

Ardennes opens ok.

Aha, I see. Yes Palau and the Ardennes both open fine. I guess I'd only tried the larger ones.
