Disabled tanks/bombs etc.

Hi all

Just a little moan - when you're at a damaged airfield and you go to fly again and then it say's 'Drop Tanks' or 'Bombs' disabled (or 25% fuel only etc) but still keeps them selected, can we have it automatically go to what the most you can fly with at that particular airfield - e.g. if no drop tanks available then let it automatically de-select (if previously selected)etc.  It's just that on a fair few occasions, I have gone to fly again straight from the Tower with the same aircraft to protect a base, and then it may say these messages, so you have to go to the Hangar to deselect them etc., and losing a quick take off time.  Make it automatic please

 This is not ment as a flame. But if 4 clicks are slowing you down. Maby you are not really planning your missions from the ground up.

 FWIW. if I am at a capped base. I go to the hanger anyway, to get the up views before I hit the fly button.

Yeah it is slowly me down... I wouldn't mind at all, but if your base is under attack with multiple bandits, or a Goony about to drop troops, the last thing you want is to deselect your bombs/tanks etc., when you'd be happy to take any plane up on 1/4 tank fuel, no bombs etc., especially if you've just been shot down at that base and you already know what the situ is.  Get my point?

I don't think making respawning an inconvenience is such a bad thing.
