Refuelling + +

I had presumed it took longer to refuel a WW2 aircraft than an F1 car and it was abbreviated for convenience.

Aero engines don't cool when off so I still feel temperature should affect it for the planes where temperature is the limiting factor.

Now airplanes that have consumables for WEP, then I could see seeing "refilling" but still with the temperature limitation.

He makes us burn gas faster so it's only fair he refuels us faster.

Being able to select a new ordnance option or fuel would be nice but no to the repairs.  In real life, repairs to the engine or plane would result in the plane being taken off the flight line until the repairs and necessary checks are done before being put back on operational status.

  I want to see a bunch of guys run out to the airplane, and run back when done.  I want to hear the "ding, ding, ding" as the gas is pumping.

service crewmen would be strafe-able, for longer rearm  ?

Flight  /  Sortie 
-  A  flight/sortie  begins  when  the  aircraft  begins  to  move  forward  on  takeoff.    It  ends  after  airborne flight when the aircraft returns to the surface and any of the following conditions occur:

(1)  The  engine  is  stopped,  or  any  engine  on  a  multi-engine  aircraft.
(2)  A  change  is  made  in  the  crew  which  enplanes  or  deplanes  a  crew member.    A  single  flight  may include multiple take-offs and landings.

ANd yet ev ery pilot log books shows +5 (or sometimes 10) minutes for STTO!

Depends on the way it's done.

Some places just use 0.1 on each end or five minutes or round up to the next higher.  I actually log it to the minute but it is not itemized.  FAR Part 1.1 defines it as: Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing.   *shrug*
