I do not know if this will help at all, but I also own F-16 Combat Pilot, and 
I dislike looking up protects, so I obtained a cracked version of the game.  I 
do not know what effect it has on the Game Save problem, but it solves one or 
two items you have difficulty with.  I agree with you that I am not interested 
in expanding the pirate field at all, but I do find it useful for obtaining 
de-protected versions of software that I have paid for.  If you would like me 
to send you a deprotected copy for you to examine and try out, just E-Mail me 
you land mail adress and I will get in to the mail post haste.  Until then, 
keep 'em flying.
