-In FMB I load a mission I see…Bomber Intercept, Free Hunt, London Attack, etc. All from Single Missions. I don’t see anything from QM’s like Dogfight Even, Dogfight Lower Level, Advantage Axis, etc. Where are the SM’s and can you edit and save?

Appears the QM's are under mission, not missions but are hidden files. I could not get them to show up, any way you can build your own.

Goto View, object viewer. This is for all objects. Just remember there is a difference between objects which are "alive" and that move and "Statics" that do not move. "alive" objects need at least two waypoints or you cant save your mission!

If you want to delete a mission, do so like a normal file. Docs, 1csoftclub, missions... I always creat folders for each mission so its less cluttered. However in FMB you cant see a folder in a folder in missions.

Toggle icons on/off? Good question. I dont know, try the old key for it else look in the controls.

NP!


Some other things which may help you. -

You can either use Ctl + left click or click where you want it and press insert to place an object.

Hold a and left click and drag to define the battle area, set the last value to 10000 for nice big useable grid squares.

click on an object or on the map and press enter on the NUM pad to go into 3D view.

Whilst in 3D view with an object selected press the keys on the NUM pad to rotate.

You need to give bombers bombs and the appropriate fuses.

Save your work regulary, the FMB sometimes crashes but not as bad as the game.

You can test your work by adding an aircraft and and clicking the player box in its preoperties, select file, play mission. You can use the [ and ] keys for time compression.

Wether and clouds etc are under Mission Parameters, in edit I beleive.

You might want to set armies, under edit I think.


Hope this helps.
