Lagarto, pretty much everything I used can be found in Boomer's collected objects download. The objects you list cover a number of different contributions from different guys and to d/l them individually would be difficult.

I installed Boomer's pack, and now the static.ini checker says I'm missing two files:

buildings.Plate$OksDRunway
buildings.House$]SEchurch10

I extracted the other one from sfs archives. I've noticed that it's already included in the static.ini of Boomer's pack, but apparently the file folder itself is missing.
Now, where do I put the extracted folder to make it work?
The extraction path was 3do/buildings/SouthernEurope/SEChurch10

Also, should I edit the static.ini in any way?

Yes, you must insert the following lines into static.ini  :

[buildings.House$]SEchurch10]
Title           SEchurch10
MeshLive        3do/Buildings/SouthernEurope/SEchurch10/live.sim
MeshDead        3do/Buildings/SouthernEurope/SEchurch10/dead.sim
AlignToLand     0
Body            RockMiddle
Panzer          0.2

into the section  :

Thank you but that's not the problem I'm having. The static.ini that came with Boomer's pack already had those lines. The problem is:

1) Where to put the folder 'SouthernEurope/SEchurch10' I extracted (for some reason Boomer's pack didn't include it)
2) Should I edit the static.ini in any way and/or change the folder's name because of the syntax mistake in the name of the file: 'House$]SEchurch10'

1. As indicated in static.ini, you should put the folder 'SouthernEurope/SEchurch10' into
MODS/STD/3do/Buildings/  folder. (Perhaps you have #DBW or #SAS folder insted of MODS one.)
2. It was discussed somewhere here, as far as I remember, you need not to correctify it, but perhaps you must try it yourself.

For clarification, how do you assemble both parts after they are downloaded?

OK, I installed the missing 'buildings.Plate$OksDRunway', so now my static.ini checker says the only missing file is 'buildings.House$]SEchurch10'.
I found the thread where it says to ignore that error message as false.
However, I still can't save a mission in FMB on that map, even though I have the folder 'SouthernEurope/SEchurch10' in the MODS/STD/3do/Buildings folder. What's wrong?  :(

It is described in readme.txt file in part 1.
Unzip it, place the folder m7_su into Mods/Mapmods/Maps/ folder .
Unzip part 2, place the folder mandrill7 into the folder .../Mapmods/_tex/  .
Open all.ini and add there the line given in readme.

I have installed the map only now, into my HFSX5 install, over older mandrills map : m7_agc , and the FMB mission was saved and can be played, as you can see from the picture:



So it seems that the error is not in the map install. Moreover, the mistyping:

[buildings.House$]SEchurch10]

is present without any harm.

Thank you Uzin for doing the test. I'm on HSFX 6.0, and I'm stuck. What other possible error can prevent me from saving a mission?

Well, I tried to install the map on my HSFX6.01 on external disk, where my Belarus map works. For the purpose, I temporarily replaced all the 3do content and the static.ini file, by those I have on my HSFX5 version. The result was the same as you observed, the mission cannot be saved. I am not familiar with the 4.11.1 version which is the basis of HSFX6, but it seems that this version dislike some object which the former HSFX5 run quite well.
So I am sorry, ask the experts on 4.11.1 version.

Got it working! :)
I noticed that after I had installed Boomer's object pack, I could no longer save missions on Uzin's Belarus map. Since the only files I had in MODS/STD/3do folder were Uzin's, I began to suspect there's a conflict between Boomer's pack and STD/3do folder. And indeed, after I removed Boomer's pack and manually compiled all the missing objects from mandrill's South Ukraine map, which I placed in STD/3do folder, everything began to work as it should. I can now save missions on both Belarus and South Ukraine map.

By the way, what an exercise in file structure that was!
