Question #2 Hitech, Custom Hanger?
« on: November 18, 2005, 11:52:10 AM »
after 4 years I dont recall if anyone asked for this but its possible.

How bout a customizable hanger?   something like a tab on the hanger were you can have your favorite planes.   I like the P-38G, so I could right click on the P-38G and save it as a favorite.   Each different load out I create for the P-38G I could save as a seperate plane in my custom hanger.
Example
Custom #1  P-38G (Attack) two 500lb bombs, Rockets
Custom #2  P-38G (Fighter) no ordenance
Custom #3  P-38G (Fighter -extended) Drop tanks, no ordenance

And add the option to enable or disable tracers for these favorite setups while you're at it. :)

we already can disable tracers. Do you mean disabling it for one plane and not the other?

although I dont coad,  I dont imagine this would real difficult.  Not for someone that rights coad for aliving

When you setup a plane for combat, and outfit it with ordnance (man, i sure am getting a lot of practice spelling ordnance today)
anyway, when you out fit your plane for combat, all those choices you make are saved/written some where in a config file in AH, because when you finish that flight, and start a new flight, choose a different plane, setup it up.  when you come back, the last setup you used is still on that first plane, its doesn't revert back to a default setup.  

So if its somehow saved already then how hard could it be to setup AH to write a new config file for each plane and save it in a new folder accessed from the hanger?


Tracer setup is in a seperate location therefore I would assume its under a different config file, and either its on for all or off for all.  Probably be a lot harded to coad tracers for each individual plane config

LOL that was funny? mkay no.

What is the differece?

I like the other ideas, but shooting with tracers 1 sortie then without the next wouldnt do much to help your gunnery.

For some reason I find that if I have the tracers turned off I can't hit a thing in any of the cannon armed planes (Spit, 190 etc.) - as soon as I turn them on I can start making deflection shots again etc.  And likewise, if I have the tracers turned on in one the US .50 planes my gunnery goes to hell, but if I turn them off I can usually stretch 4-5 kills out of a P-51Bs ammo load.
