I was just very frustrated with the FMB. And this spilled into my post tone.

Ok i understand what I was doing wrong.

You can't actually copy and past from one *.mis mission file to another. You actually need to copy the objects to a NEW file that you create. And then you paste from that file into your mission.

This is the critical step i was missing. Which was causing much frustration.

Cheers.

When in the mission builder, you can copy and paste by selecting the group with alt+Lmouse, then use Ctrl+C to copy, and then Ctrl+V to paste. Not sure if this works from map to map, but worth a try (fewer steps).

I did try that, it does not seem to work. i think the clipboard gets emptied when you open a new *.mis

TBH creating a 'template' file to then be pasted in to a different *.mis is fine.. at least it works. It seems to be the only way i can do it.

Thanks.

ALT+Left mouse button to select the objects,
Then right mouse click save to file.
Then open another mission right click and paste from file, thjen the objects should be at the mouse pointer position.

The above is correct. Right click to save as a file. You need to give a name eg 'group of ships', then open your other mission, right click and choose paste from file. You should see a list and 'group of ships' will be one of the things on the list. I think naming your group is the step u r missing.
