Loadouts for Quick Mission

[SEE]

David, I spoke to various players and some don't have the User file in the Steam Remote folder either. Maybe the DVD version is different to the Steam DL version but I have various Config files in the Remote folder along with the User file - my MP loadouts seem to load from the Remote User file....very strange.


I have never been able to get loadouts to work from the Weapons options menu. The only way I have ever been able to try different loadouts is by loading a mission into FMB and selecting the load out in the ac weapons ammo belt properties box. This loadout is then stored in the mission file. However, you must first have your loadouts stored in the User file which is what the OP is describing. If done correctly, whenever you use FMB you should see the weapons loadouts you created as they will have whatever names you used to identify them.
The FMB doesn't locate quick missions for edit as these are stored in a different folder but you can copy any quick mission and paste it into the Single Missions folder - you can then load it into FMB to assign a weapons loadout and also set the plane you wish to fly by ticking the checkbox as Player (found in the properties menu for that ac).

You will then see it listed as a new Single mission.

Hey Evangeluse!
i think i found out why some users dont have the user file in the steam remote folder.its because they installed the game with steam cloud disabled like i have.i never had the folder until i enabled steam cloud.then it will be created and stay even if steam cloud is disabled again.
i think nobody is able to use custom loadouts in quick missions with the weapon options menu.
the way i always achieved to use custom loadouts was to create them in the options menu of the game, and then create a mission in FMB where its then listed in the available loadouts.
it will also be used when one plays online, but only if you have only one loadout saved for each plane.(or if its the last loaded pofile....im not too sure anymore if this is actually true as i have only one custom loadout for each plane)
however it will not be used in quick missions or stock single player missions(the latter ones can be customized in the FMB)as you already pointed out.

but i thought according to the OPs description, that if i copy my user file from the steam remote folder to my 1c folder, then my custom loadout will be used in the quick missions automatically.but this doesnt seem to work for me.
my user file(the one in the steam remote directory) shows my custom loadout but this trick doesnt work for me.i still see tracers when i load quick missions.
