Hi!
Sorry for being so dense, but I can't figure out how to use the Map-folder specified in the tutorial.
I have made a separate modded IL-2, patched to 4.09b and put it in mapmaking mode, including deleting the Paintschemes and MODS folders, and erecting a Maps-folder.
Since I just wanted to fool around with things a bit before starting to make maps from the ground up, I tried to modify the Online 9, a simple small map that comes with the game. I had some fun putting in names and a bit of forest, but saving it to the Maps-folder only saved it as a mission file. I tries in stead to put one of the community made maps that I know work in the Maps-folder to play with it in stead (the excellent Libya-map). I can access the folder via "Open as", but I can't get any of the files to run as a map. Neither does the map show up in FMB (probably since it does not sit in the MODS-folder).
What is it that I have missed?
