Hi,
I apologise right now for starting a thread regarding QMB+. I know there are a hundred other threads onthis very subject, I have used the search facility, and perhaps that's part of the problem. The sheer volume of threads discussing QMB+ is dizzying. And after much reading and even searching the rest of the internet, I'm none the wiser. A disadvantage, I presume, of picking something up about fifteen years after it was initially released.
I have just downloaded the new English Channel map and flown one badly hacked together mission that took me all of about five mins to nail together and it was enought o convince me that I would like to spend a lot more time over it.
Until there are some campaigns from the clever bods who do that stuff, I thought logging a few QMB hours over it would be the next best thing. However, while I don;t wreck the game itself, I do keep getting a 'Wrong Target Selected' message which, from what little I did make sense of, means that there is no mission file for that map. Or at least, not one that I have aquired.
And here lies the problem... I have no idea how it works. Why does it need mission files? I thought that's what 'it' was meant to do; create missions based on the criteria you select. So is this something I can do myself? Should I wait for someone with an ounce of talent to do it for me? Has it alrleady been done? Is there another way?
I guess what I'm really asking is... Is there a one-stop-shop to fix this thing. I'm guessing it will not be as easy as that because from what I can tell, nothing ever is in IL2. I still wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because of my woeful and unsuccessful attempts at DCG/DGen/Whatever-it's-called modding.
Any links, advice, cyanide capsules or other assistance would be a huge help. Abuse for spamming is expected.
Rob.
