".mis" files don't open with Windows Notepad if you double click in the file, but open if right click and select in "Open with" menu.

Anyway, install Notepad++ is more suitable to edit non plain .txt files, Windows Notepad can corrupt the file.

You don't need template for create missions in MB, but can use any exiting Single Mission and Quick Mission (1) as template if want.


(1) CloD FMB see only missions in the folder:

...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions

Quick Missions and Campaign missions are stored in different folder

(default path) ... \steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\bob\mission\ > in sub-folders Quick, Campaign and Training.

Since FMB don't see this folder, copy their contend for a folder - example create one, name "To edit" inside:

...\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions

Now you can edit or use Quick and Campaign missions as template.

Campaign missions has several examples of ".cs" files together (script files in C++) necessary to add events in CloD missions, like victory conditions, spawn sub-missions, objects, etc. This ".cs" is what exclude from "common mortals" the ability to make detailed missions in CloD FMB.

...but when i try to save i can only save as text

This is because your Windows settings is not showing file extensions.

If you try save a file in Notepad as "weather test1.mis" will be saved: "weather test1.mis.txt", hence is not see by game as mission file.
