hi Dan! Seen your post only now and I can confirm that: installed from cd on another pc, gone through all the patches then UP 2.01, update and there again the problem...
Luckily I had an install on an external hard disk where the mod worked, don't ask me why because it was a simple copy of one I had on my main comp...
But if I should have to start from the scratch then I couldn't be able to let the mod work!
Anyway now I'm enjoyng it ans I'll do another copy asap of this "lucky" install!!!

Pablo- I absolutely love this Mod..it really gives me a reason for downloading new aircraft to use in old missions, but recently Ihave run into a severe glitch.,let me add it may have something to do with one or another mods I have installed but I don't know.
On two new installs of both UP& HSFX, with newly added added effect Mods & 4-5 new aircraft, I've run into the same problem,sometimes immediately other times after one play: if I hit single missions options Iget to a RAF screen that is stuck at a Malta mission & game is frozen there.I must Alt Crl Delete to get out.It doesn't seem to matter whether I place the folder for this Mod :in Mods folder or in JSGME & activate it there. If I disable it , the sim runs normally again but ,obviously without this terrific feature.In both cases this Mod was the initial QMB Missions mod I added to the newly installed game.
  Now I realize this is a relatively simple install , but I'm not PC savy enough to trace down what i might have done wrong or where it might conflict with other mods...can you help? Many thanks for your patience.

Part 2- After a few minutes more of fiddling here's what I found..it may help others or it may be unique to me.It was freezing on a misplaced mission ( Malta was a Coop mission placed in GB Single missions...certainly not the first time I have made this mistake nor the only one in single mission folder..so I removed it...) then I used an old trick just to see what would happen : I renamed your folder by adding 00_A_ to folder name & put it into Mods folder( this may or may not have made one bit of difference after removeing the coop mission....)Started Sim & boom: it worked like a charm ..at least the first time I tried it in HSFX install..Interestingly enough it went right back to GB single missions, ditto second time around...fingers crossed that it is here to stay.
Again many  :)many thanks for this ...!

Dietz,
            don't you still know if the problem was with the coop mission in the singles folder or the 00_A for the directory in MODS?

  It would be nice if you can confirm that by re-enabling the mission and see if it still hangs when entering. I tend to believe that it was a problem inside the MODS. Have you disabled the folders of my previous versions of this MODs? Mission Pro, QMB Pro, etc? Because the last Combo could be even be in conflict with an old version of this MODs in separate version.

  Regards,
                          Pablo

It was the coop mission stuck in the GB folder...this was in both the HSFX & the UP version .I didn't need to rename your folder ( just  tried the UP version as well after deleting the coop mission- same results :everything works) It is funny how this little mistake on my part threw a curve at your superb mod...Hope this might help others...

This is just great now when making quickmissions u can try them in qmb and go directly in fmb for adjustments, great . U are a genious

I have no idea why, but when I use this I can only choose none and cannot fly the mission in QMB. Single and campaign missions work fine. I am running 4.09m SAS Modact 2.3 Beta.

Arkbird,
              have you read the full readme? Do you have the proper missions in your Missions\Quick? If you don't have them it would not work. The file QMBMaps.ini define which maps will be tried to load. If you don't have the ones defined there the effect described by you will be seen.

I have read the readme, but I don't know how to check if I have the correct QMB things inserted. What I don't get is that the older ones worked fine, the only problem being the player plane and map selection going above the screen.

Ah, OK. It is explained in the Readme in a brief way. I suggest you to go to the original post of the QMBPro. There it is explained: depending on your screen resolution, font type and configuration, that thing could happen, specially with wide-screen monitors. I added some settings to reduce the number of items shown in each combobox to avoid the effect. But please, read the information, everything is explained, I don't remember that exactly.

Well... this new one still won't work ater all that, but I can stay with the older version. Thanks for the help, though.
EDIT: Just found out the old version doesn't work.

If anyone hais still following this thread...
I think this is one of the most fun & most useful utility of its type ,I've ever installed...I'll bet I only use a bit of its potential, but it really makes all the differences in changing missions,planes etc. I highly recommend it!
That being said I had some problems in HSFX, which mostly turned out to be of my own making..my last fix involved cleaning up STD & Files folders so that there were no duplicates...the good news is that with UP install there were no problems at all & I decided for a variety of reasons for this to be my go-to,default game.
So go ahead give it a try - its worth it!
