QMB
« on: March 30, 2025, 02:42:21 PM »

Maybe this is posted already.  Is it bug or intentional?  The list for adding enemy/friendly aircraft in 2nd page of QMB are gone.  If it is a bug how do i fix it?

I think that is just depending on what map you have and what mission profile you pick.

Maybe you are using an old 4.09 QMB mission that is limited to a max of 4+4 flights so only the first page will be displayed

I have the BAT "Danger Zone" installed over IL-2 1946.  I can switch to the 2nd page, but the aircraft drop down list doesn't exist.  Only few options are available at the bottom of 2nd page. like AAA option...etc.

Sure this is a legacy QMB mission from the 4.09 days that are limited to 8 flights and this is why you don't have the additional flights. If you want to use that map with more than 4+4 flights you need to install QMB mission designed for 4.10 onward.

Wing Walker is right.  Some maps have more planes and some dont in 2nd page. By using QMB 4.10, does it enable all maps for more aircraft in 2nd page or it will be the same?

The other flight 'll show only if present in the .mis file....

If you need them you can try to add them in your map editing it with FMB....

You can't just put additional flights in the 409 legacy missions. So if you still have 409 legacy missions for some of your maps. The best thing to do is to start from scratch and develop a new series for that map. An easier solution would be to browse this site and find some more recent set of QMB missions for those very maps. https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,75.0.html

Will MissionProCombo plus v2.2 by Whistler work for my BAT even if I have 4.09?  Will all maps in QMB have the extra flights in 2nd page?
If it ruins my BAT, can i reverse it to previous state?
Thanks for helping me out.

If you have BAT then you definitely have 4.12.2 as BAT can never run on 4.09 and BAT already has QMB pro.  You will need a separate install only if you have a 409, 4.10 and 4.12 modact.

Having more than 4+4 flight (the second page) is independent from having qmb pro or not as also the stock version these days has the second page. The number of flights will depend on the type of missions you are loading. The QMB missions designed for 4.09 at the beginning have this limitation. These missions are still around. So you just need to open the mission file in FMB and you will see.  lmtation

Anyway you can simply add the 4 missing flight for each side using FMB to get the missing....

The 409 legacy was because QMB was adapted to read both older 4 flights and newer 8 flights....without the need to convert each 4 flight to the new format....but if these 'll be expanded to 8 flights these 'll run anyway showing the full selectable second page....

I've done this for the WWI Westfront times ago to test possible multiscenarios in the same QMB mission....even if this could work better with player using only fighter/s and the other 7 flight with each a specific of 4 ground attack targets....they could be 4 bomber and 4 fighters , 8 bombers or 8 fighters and you can add your 4 one to the melee....

This way you can have up to 4 different targets areas each QMB mission....
