@ Eagler....No I haven't tried the setup. It doesn't appeal to me and I have said as much. If it was run a little later on after more thought than a few days then yes I would have tried it out.

@ Dipstick

How is that map not like the DA map? I know its not the same but it is similar in layout and would only require a small change in the setup to allow for aircraft to be enabled at the various bases.

Since you didn't understand let me spell it out about the fuel multiplier. Instead of putting in cliffs and wind layers why not crank the fuel multiplier way up that way you are limited to a very short range around the base you start from. Plus it keeps the fights at that seemingly magical number you guys all keep spouting out of 8k or less. Since there is no score being kept then you certainly don't need to land the plane so why worry.

The main reason would be that we have no control over the DA settings period. The DA is totally different. The DA is for practice and 1vs1 or so, when griefers don't screw it up. The DA is for squads to practice jabo and GVs to practice their gunnery, etc...  I wouldn't change the DA settings even if I could, it's good the way it is for what it is.

It's not made for fun furballing (20 or so) in slower planes, without cherry-pickers diving in for the easy kill or fun police killing the FHs or vulching. This would be. Like I said, "If it doesn't appeal to you then that's ok". If that's true, then there's nothing to say to you but enjoy what you do. Cya!
