sentinel Wrote:Dear crazyschmidt,
I have downloaded your support file to turn your MM into MMPlus but when I try to run the program it fails and says that I need to put an empty file named FBPath.txt into a temp file calledRar$EX00.593. I did this but then it said the same thing but naming file $EX10.0625.
Each time I attempt to run it it says the same but the name of the file is different every time.
Can you please help??
Best regards,

Pike, just to make sure we're on the same page, I will list the correct steps here, if you have done something different try this first.
Step 1)
Download the large set-up file first an install it noting the installation location you choose. (If you have an earlier version of MM, install this new version into a different location or remove any previous version first).
Step 2)
Download the new MM program file and use it to replace the program file that was installed with the main set-up in Step 1.
Step 3)
Run the new MM program file, you will be asked to point to the IL-2 program file directory. MM is looking for the IL-2 program file named "il2fb.exe" in the directory location. If the "il2fb.exe" is present MM with run without any further questioning.
NOTE:
MM will most likely not run from a temporary directory as it is most often the directory that your PC has placed the file into directly after the download, therefore the support files that MM needs ("FBPath.txt" for example) will not be in that temporary folder.
The "FBPath.txt" file is where MM stores information about the IL-2 program directories and needs to be in the same directory as the MM program file. The "FBPath.txt" is installed as a blank file with the main set-up program in Step 1 into the folder location you choose on set-up (default location "C:\Program Files\Mission Mate vx.x").
I hope this helps, if you are still having problems let me know, I check in frequently so I will keep an eye open for your response.
Best regards,
