Here is an explanation of how the QMB interprets missions and maps,this may be usefull to read

Hi JetsetSam

I will try and explain this for you as simply as I can ,ok
there is going to be a lot to read so I hope you do read it all ,read it all more than once if you have to.
I am taking a considerable amount of time to write this all

You need to understand that the list in the QMBPlus has nothing to do with maps.
Absolutely nothing at all to do with maps.

The names in the list in the QMBPLus are the names of the missions not the maps.
Most do not understand this at all as everyone insists about the map the map the map.

Ok, the reason everyone keeps thinking this is a list of maps in the QMB is that most people have named there missions according to what map you will be flying on.So it just seems to be the maps name in the QMB list.

There are only three things that will make a name not show in the config [quick] list

1> something is spelled wrong
2>numbers are not in numerical order from 0 on up
3> a Capitalization error

I am not sure but I think that a space will not allow a name to show,
but I have not run across this yet as I don't use spaces in my mission names

When a mission builder builds for the QMB he can name his missions anything he wants , ok
Also he can make you fly on whatever map that he as the mission builder wants to pick.

He could name it > SandysDesert for the mission names

ok, now you would then have to add to your config "SandysDesert" and do it of course in numerical order with proper spelling and capitalization.

The missions made for SandysDesert would all have to be named like this>

SandysDesertRedNone00.mis
SandysDesertBlueNone00.mis

and ete ete for all the Targets that are selectasble in the Target drop down box in the QMB

SandysDesertRedArmor00.mis
SandysDesertBlueArmor00.mis

And so on and so forth for all targets such as Bridge ,Airbase,Scramble and strike

Now SandysDesert would need to be spelled exactly the same for it to show up in the QMB list
SandysDesert is not a map that is in the mapmod folder.... ok

So now you should realize that the mapmod folder and all the maps and whatever is in your all.ini have nothing to do with the QMB or the list that is in it.

Ok now for a bit about the map part,

SandysDesert could be on any map the "mission builder" wants it to be.
NWE ,Malta map ,ItalyAfricaGreece,
any map that is available to the mission builder in the Full Mission Builder (the FMB)

To understand this further,I could make SandysDesert on 12 different maps ok
there are 12 missions that have to be made for a full set.I could make a set for SandysDesert and make every single mission on a different map.

So you would have to enter SandysDesert into your config to see the name of the "mission" in the QMB(not the name of the map the name of the missions).

Now when you have this name in the list showing and a few aircraft selected ete.
I could make SandysDesert play out on 12 different maps,so every single target you chose would put you on a different map.

This is because when I am in the FMB I can load any map I want and put the required aircraft in to make the mission work and then just simply name the mission>

SandysDesertRedBridge00.mis

now the bridge mission would be on that map that I chose for that mission.
I could then load a completely different map and make another completely different mission and as long as I name it>

SandysDesert whatever Red Or Blue and any of the other targets as in
example:

SandysDesertRedScramble00.mis now when you select the Red bridge mission you fly on the map I chose for the bridge mission and when flying the red scramble mission you will now be on a different map ,the one I chose for the scramble mission.

and so on and so forth ,one name in the list and 12 different maps for the one name.

Thats it really,the name in the QMB list has nothing to do with maps!
