Hi fatcat, thanks for your great utilility, something which should of been in from the start, it really is great.

I've been messing around creating missions for myself for malta , the slot and the channel, all of which is good and is working 8) , but sometimes i've done stuff, and it hasn't worked.

Do you know what limitations are in place, such as, are you limited to the number of weypoints? Does every flight have to land at the same base? Are you limited to any objects other than planes that you can put in, ie stationary objects, moving objects etc... Can you set a flight to escort another??

Really keen to know how flexible this is, and how far we can bend it.

cheers fruitbat

When mission doesn't work it's most likely typo in names of map or mission and only limitation inside the mission is 4 flights per side is a must. You can have more than that but not less.

If you have more than 4 flghts, 6 for example you will control first four through QMB menu and last 2 will be always as they are set in mission.

You can see that in tutorial I posted before.

I've read this thread through and through but I'm still not having any luck getting "none" missions to work with the new Slot or Libya maps-the maps open and the missions save OK in FMB+, and I added them to my custom list in my config.ini. They show up on the map list in QMB, but when I try to load a "none" mission, I get an error message reading "data file corrupt".
The pre-made blue and red none missions for the Slot work, but the front lines are backwards, I wanted to make my own.

Let's say that you have line for slot in conf.ini like this
Custom9=Slot

Go to FMB and open the map you want. Set 4 flights for both sides, make it simple, 4 flights with two waypoints each. Save mission as

SlotRedNone00.mis

Mission must be in xxx/Missions/Quick folder , xxx is your main mission folder and it can be different for every user.

Go to QMB, select Slot from the map list, select red side and target None. It must work.

Another option for you is to make backup of existing Slot missions and than edit and modify mission that works to suit your needs.
