While better mix management is a good idea, doing it for increased range makes no sense. Even the largest mod maps out there do not require that kind of micro management of fuel. And as an aside, no aircraft in this sim have the range of their real counterparts anyway. And even though I've flown 1+ hour one way missions on the "Slot" map, there is no way anyone is going to fly a 6 odd hour mission to Berlin and back, or one in the Pacific.
A. No maps that large.
B. Why?
I've flown IL2 since December of 2001. One thing I've noticed is that as servers become more strident in their quest for "hyper-reality" in re-creating WW2, the fun factor goes way down.
