Haven you found your self wanting to make a new mission through the Mission Builder and changing your mind because it just takes to much time to get to the area you want to build your Mission with the hand pan. Lets say you want to build a mission in North Africa or in Buma. You open the Mission Builder and you pick a operation area like Europe. Well it opens in the middle of Europe and you have to scroll all the way to North Africa. Well could take you several minutes and its very tedius and time consuming and if pick Burma its even worst. You would have to scroll through the map all the way from East New Guinea.


You also have to remember all the airbases name of a area to be able to pick a specific airbase to be able to start where you want the mission to begin. 

Now I have a list of Operation Areas that might just help you with this matter.

Go to my Computer/Program files/Microsoft games/Combat flight Simulator/INFO folder


Scroll down to a file call:  opareas

Open it wth the notepad. Delete the information list in it and copy the paste the one I have give you. Its that simple.

Remember to backup the original some where else. This list will give you the original operational ares plus new ones.

I hope This Information will make it easier for you to build new missions through mission builder.
