OK Fritzfix...
1) Make sure you've installed the "WRAPPER.DLL" mod first. This will create a folder called "MODS" within your Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 root directory.
2) Now set up the folders you're going to need. First of all, create a new folder called "QMBPlus" within your "MODS" folder.
3) Create a folder called "Quick" within the "Missions" folder of your 1946 root directory. It's possible you already have a file called "Quick" in there. If so, don't try to create a new one.
4) Next, since you've already tried to install this, I want you to be sure to do something. In your root 1946 directory, there is a folder called "Files." Click into it. There you MAY find a folder called "Missions." Click into it. There you MAY find a folder called "Quick." Click into it. If there are any files within this "Quick" folder, just DELETE THEM ALL. If you found no such "Missions" or "Quick" folders within your "Files" folder, don't worry about it.
5) Now, unzip FC's QMB plus zip file somewhere OUTSIDE of your 1946 root directory, in order to avoid confusion.
6) You will now have a regular folder called "QMB Plus 1.1" Click into it. Inside it, you will see a particular file called "gui_ru." Let's deal with this one first.
7) Open this "gui_ru" file with NOTEPAD. There you will find lines of text as follows:
# ---QMBPlus 1.1
quick.Scramble Scramble
quick.Strike Strike
quick.VER: QMBPlus
quick.POS: Diff.
You must highlight and copy ALL of this text into another "gui_ru" file which you will find in the following location: 1946 Root Directory>Files>i18n>gui_ru. Remember that you must open this "gui_ru" file with notepad before you can copy the text in at the bottom of it. Make sure to SAVE these changes in the notepad file before you click out of it.
8) Now return to your unzipped "QMB Plus 1.1" folder. Inside it you will find a "Files" folder. Click into it. There you will find a folder called "Missions," plus eleven other files with complicated names. We will deal with these eleven files first.
9) Without highlighting the "Files" folder, highlight the eleven files with complex names and copy them into the "QMBPlus" folder you created in the following location:
1946 root directory>MODS>QMBPlus. You're done with that step.
10) Now return to your "QMB Plus 1.1" folder. Click into it and find the "Missions" folder. Click into the "Missions" folder and you will find a folder called "Quick." Click into it and you will find a bunch of mission files with names like "Ardennes_WBlueAirbase00" and etcetera.
11) Highlight ALL of those mission folders and copy them into the "Quick" folder which you will find in the following location:
1946 root directory>Missions>Quick.
12) Now return to your 1946 root directory. There you will find the "conf" file. Open the "conf" file with notepad. Scroll down to the bottom of the document and carefully type in the following lines:
[quick]
Custom0=NWEurope
Custom1=MTO
Custom2=Bessarabia
Make sure to save this in notepad before you click out of it.
Now you should have everything where it needs to go.
If you click on a certain type of mission in your QMB and get the "Wrong Target Selected," it just means there are no missions made for that particular map yet. You must either wait for new mission packs to come out, or learn to make missions yourself, which is really not that hard once you do one. You'll find directions on how to make missions in the FMB and also how to add more maps in previous posts in this thread.
Good luck!
