We can all agree on this.

or dot commands like .fly Ki84    and poof you  have a plane on the runway ready to fly

you would probably want to select loadouts before it just "poofed" you onto the runway

I didn't realize that this was almost impossible or I wouldn't have wished for it.

Why not have the game enter into a different 'mode' when you're in the hanger so that these hotkeys can be used for plane selection?  We can have different modes for vehicles and CM eye, etc.  Can this be applied to the hanger as well?  You have to press a button to enter the hanger as far as I can remember, so why not have that button set a true value for whether you're in the hanger or not and then any of the commands to exit or start flying set the bool to false.

Just a shot in the dark, I'm clueless as to the plausibility of implementing this into the real code.

But this sounds like something you guys have probably already thought of so there's most likely a reason why it can't be done, haha.

HiTech Why can't I open the radio when I am in the hangar.

HiTech Why can't I talk on voice when in the hanger.

HiTech Why can't I go to external view when In the hangar.

HiTech Why can't I zoom into the plane when in the hangar....................... ..

learn the dot commands

.plane 19 is my main ride

Good idea Kazaa

I will prefer something like cover flow application.

Point taken, then could the mode be similar to how we select modes now?  Instead of automatically forcing you into mode X when entering the hanger just have a hotkey into mode X while in the hanger.  hotkey mode x, press whatever for which planes you want, hotkey out.

I currently have the '0' and '9' keys mapped to modes 1 and 3 I think.  So using that sort of system someone would just enter the hanger, press a key of their choice to enter 'plane select' mode and then press the same key to exit that mode if they wanted to type or use the radio, etc.  This gives them the freedom of not using the option if they don't want to.


I guess it ends up being more trouble than it's worth.

edit:  this could end up being akin to the ctrl + f feature on firefox?

You can.  Now.  If you re-coaded for a unique hanger set up versus outside the hanger, ie. flying, it would overwrite stuff that's there now.

Hitec,
Why isnt the ENY I am subject to shown at the top of the hanger screen?
Does the available button filter by ENY?
