Take Off With Ords Selected When Ords Are Down

Simply put, instead of having to remove ords from the plane when they're taken out at the field, have the plane launch without them and give a system message to you (or not, doesn't really matter) that the ords weren't loaded.

It could make the flow better than getting a message box stating that ords are not available, having to click OK, enter the hangar, remove the ordinance, then pick the runway again.

Not really a game changing wish, just convenience.

I think a player should still get the message that ords are unavailable.  After all, if he normally flies a given aircraft with them, he probably would rather choose another field than launch without them.

But perhaps there could be two buttons in the warning box:  1) Launch without ords 2) Reenter Tower (or hanger).  It would help with the "flow" the OP refers to but still give the pilot the opportunity to choose what was most important to him.

If you want to take off with ords it's better to get the message first so you can switch fields before you spawn on the runway or you might take off and head for your target not realizing you aren't armed.

You guys are right, and I didn't think of that drawback, FLS.

but an added thing what about having ord selected (ord is out so you leave without it) taking off but being able to rearm at any other field but the one you took off from.

I thought if your area was out of ord you could at least head to another area and still utilize ords.

Just an idea you dont have to kill me over it.

I would MUCH rather have text-buffer notices in white or orange saying "you don't have enough perks" or "ord disabled" because when I'm even just looking around it really pops up a lot of annoying things. If you don't have the perks you can't even view the plane! It computes the cost as if you're taknig off, but it does so the second you get to that plane in the hangar.

Very annoying. Would like an option like .showjoin where it shows up in buffer instead of in popups.

You guys might be giving people that play too much credit...

Next thing we'll get whine threads from the "unaware" about why didn't their ords load.

Krusty's idea might be a good inbetween.

[katanaso]

What about an option in the preferences to allow taking off when ords are down and your plane is set to be loaded with ords?  If I want to chance taking off with the wrong loadout, then it's my fault.

Also the text buffer messages that Krusty mentioned.
