It has never worked since this game was released for a lot of us.
i have now stoped playing, because i get no enjoyment out of this game anymore, because of this one problem,
Apart from that, this game is fantastic

it saves for me, but just doesnt show up when you go to select your plane in quick missions, all i have is empty listed on the tab, but when i play, i can fire my weapons, but its just the annoying default setup

FMB works fine with loadouts.

Change loadouts in FMB and save them as "default" and "custom" replacing original ones. Then they should be available in QMB. Or fly all QMB missions from FMB. It is more fun anyway.

It works for me from normal Aircraft settings menu (the only thing that works there i think). You can also change it manually in user.ini in your Documents folder. (and loadouts too btw)

Do not forget to backup it first. If you break it you can just delete it and game will create new one.

So how do you do that?
This is coming from someone who has never used FMB before, so some help would be nice?

Copy a mission from CoD Steam folder to your CoD Documents\missions\single folder.
Open the mission in FMB.
Click group of aircraft you want to fly to select it.
Rightclick it and chose Properties.
On the 2nd tab (Group properties iirc) find weapons selection.
Open weapons menu.
Change loadout in it.
Save profile.

Now you can use this profile anywhere in the game hopefully. Or at least in FMB definitely.

It's even easier than that. You can do it in the Loadout screen any time you want. You just have to remember that:
a) The gun and bomb loadouts are different to the OVERALL loadout.
b) When you make a gun loadout it is only saved to an overall loadout if you also create and name an overall loadout that saves all of your gun and bomb presets in the first loadout tab. Each individual loadout tab is only part of the overall loadouts - when you save an overall loadout it is saved in the loadouts list for quick missions.

This way you can create gun and bomb loadouts for various scenarios, and then when you create a new loadout you don't have to make up a new belting for bomb delay setting every time, you can just select one of your previous presets for each section in various combinations.

At least this is how I understand it and how it worked for me (might have changed since the patch, I'm downloading it now).
