First of all, I agree with you that both Dixiecap and Checkyour6 created great maps. Both maps are among my favorites.
However, I do have a question for you. On CY6's map, have you been able to fly a F-86 from Kimpo to Mig Alley and back without running out of fuel? If so, please tell me your secret.
While I like to fly missions from takeoff to landing, I have built missions for CY6's map that begin with air starts. I've also began and ended some missions at the island airbases.
Wish I could squeeze more fuel in the external tanks.
Cheers,
Riptide
Fly high and slow to the Mig Alley, once you drop tanks (Iknow that AI will take off 100 m after the end of runway but TAKE THOSE BIGGER TANKS) take MiG-s out ASAP and without unneseserly loosing altitude, and then turn back straight to base.
Now, here is the trick - dive shalow from time to time at 60% thrust. You should get very high speed and after leveling plane have no problems with keeping this speed at the same thrust - Sabre is real aerodinamic awsomeness. You will get to base long before you lose fuel. I personaly never ran out of fuel here, even if I followed some MiG-s to their bases.
