Hello, I want to ask about the editor. I've been trying to make missions since yesterday but I can't work properly in it. I can't move, for example, with stationary planes, I can't move waypoints, or add escort planes, I mean connect those points. Or delete individual things. When I watched some videos, they could move things beautifully, delete them, and move points. As if something was set wrong in the conf file, I don't know. Please advise. Thank you

Go here and watch , and read , and try things out.
The FMB is quite powerful ; it can do a lot , I think more than the designers imagined ,
and members here and on other sites have learned many ,many ways of workarounds when
you can't get something done one way.

Another excellent way to learn is to open a mission you like in the FMB and look at it , study it ,
and figure out how it does what it does.

Welcome to the machine.

I can't move the tank from the ship or the boat, I can't even mark it, if something happens to me I have to have everything deleted. I'll try to send a photo, but I can't even move anything. I don't know how to send a photo. I don't know what this is.

[Tomas45]

I'll try to make a video today to see if I'm doing it right. I'll put it on my channel and post the link here.

I would like to ask again, it shows me save error chief 0 chief contains only one waypoints. Where can I find it exactly and what should I do about it? I can't save the game and play it. Thank you.

[Frankiek]

To understand the nature of the error have a look at your log.lst in IL-2 main folder. From what you say you are missing at least one object in your map. This would prevent you from saving any mission on that map.

"I can't move the tank from the ship or the boat, I can't even mark it..."

It may sound too simple, but did you try pressing Alt? When I work in FMB, from time to time, I press some key combinations that disable my cursor and I have to press Alt to continue the editing.

[Tomas45]

Thank you very much, you helped me, I am very happy.
I would like to ask if it is possible to play MP somewhere? I don't know English, but I use a translator.
And the second question, is there a modern era planned for the future, for example, from the 90s to the present? Thank you

Multiplay for BAT, take a look here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,64628.0.html
But keep in mind that BAT was designed as an "offline" pack. There can be some issues in online games.

Ultrapack, specifically made for multiplay. Up to end 1950s.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,186.0.html
Its "official" server, operated by SAS people and highly recommended:

Thank you, I'd definitely like to try it, but the only problem would be communication if there was a Slovak or Czech among you.
