Next it will be "I want to change fuel loads, ord loads, planes and mode (fighter/attack or attack/bomber) on the re-arm pad, have all damage fixed and airspawn 10K over the field"
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

How about keeping it like it is, however just have a pop up menu come up as like in the hangar allowing you to re select your loadout?  This function would be more in mind for when hangars are down at any given field. 

Personally though I think how things are is just fine.

To get even more dramatic, why don't u go to a spot by a hanger and stop ur engine. A truck will come along and ask the pilot how much he wants filled, you could answer if you have a mic, or type in the answer. He fills at a normal rate and when completed another tractor pulling weapons comes along and he does the same thing, you watch as the men rearm your plane and place new bombs on the plane (or w/e ords u want).

Of course this means:

Trucks(fuel) have to be developed for computer use, could use this also to develop medical trucks for when a wounded pilot returns to base

Men have to be developed more to show walking, talking and moving of the arms, the basic movements of the human body

Scenery would need ladders to get on top of the wing to rearm bullets and clean plane, stretchers etc...

Tractor and attachments need to be worked on to have this shown and the bombs or other ords placed on top of the trailers

Computer lag time: for people with slower graphic cards it would slow down there computers some, and cause more lag but i personally believe it could be done in an acceptable manner.

What about simply adding a clipboard selection, sort of like using the radio to call in advance to the field your landing at. :pray
