First of all i'm sorry if I was interrupting the game you had. I knew what was going on, but I wasn't sure that did you have chosen your planes and teams earlier.
At the first try I was shot down couple of times before I even made to the hawkings airfield. I was little frustrated and left that match. For the next one, I was in the lobby and after a while I saw the room was full and some guys with mic was not in so I decided to leave and left room for them.
It's good idea to preorganise the game here in forum and then meet in textchat before the lobby is made. Then reorganise if someone is not showing up. I personally don't think any penalties are good thing, because this eventually is only a videogame and it should be more fun than anything else. Different thing is in tournaments, there some penalties are must.
And for using map, I had to check where the hell is that hawkings airfield
