Hey Badger, follow this to the letter and it should work-it did for me. Its a bit lengthy but take your time...

first install QMB Plus V1.1

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) 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 QMB plus zip file on your desktop.

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.

Now return to your unzipped "QMB Plus 1.1" folder on the desktop. 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" etc....

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



IF YOU WANT TO ADD CHANNEL MAP ETC....
Note, this asumes that you have already installed the map and can use it in FMB

Ok, first you will need these two mission files

http://files.filefront.com/ChannelBlueN ... einfo.html

http://files.filefront.com/ChannelRedNo ... einfo.html


These need to be put in:

XXX\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Files\Missions\Quick

Then you need to edit your config.ini as shown below,

[quick]
Custom0=NWEurope
Custom1=MTO
Custom2=Bessarabia
Custom3=Channel

Then you need to copy these two 2 lines to your filelist.txt (in root directory)

Missions/Quick/ChannelBlueNone00.mis
Missions/Quick/ChannelRedNone00.mis

And that should be it!
