It took me a long time to get it working as well.
Main problem I had was duplicate copies of the ini files in different parts of my installation.

Text changes required are to:

Chief.ini ---- Main Index listing
Ships.ini ---- Details of Big Ships
Stationary.ini --- Static Ships
Technics.ini ---- Details of Small Ships --- Similar function to Ships.ini but simpler layout for single mesh hulls.
Technics_ru.properties --- this was the one which was wrongly named in the original notes. The entries define what appears in the menus in FMB

Do a search for each of these in your game folder to check for duplicates.
Text to be added is in the Add to Ini folder

If you have duplicated lines of text I think it would probably cause a crash, but I've not tested it.
