Title: Aircraft Rearming - modify fuel load & ordnance?
Post by: coyote on August 07, 2000, 08:33:00 PM
Should we not, while rearming, be able to tell the "crew chief" to slap some 500 pounders out for those drop tanks? or to top off the wing tanks when we initially began with 50% fuel load out? Seems realistic to me....

I like that idea! Especially since things can change so rapidly from the previous flight. Not to mention I may land at another field and decide a slightly different mission although on the same sortie.

Please! Especially in bombers! I go up from field xx take an extra load of fuel to stay up a long time (survivability flying solo etc.) drop my ord, land at a closer base, reload, but am stuck with more fuel than i want for that vfield just down the way. I have no clue how difficult it would be to implement, but it would be a very nice addition IMHO.

Thanks!

This would be sooo nice. Imagine radioing in to the Tower : "Roll out 2x1000 bombs and 50% fuel to the rearm point"

Actually, the idea seems in theory something easy to implement, with a pop-up panel showing weapons and fuel once one shuts the engine off over  the steel planking...

I think that if you were rearming the crewchief would let you rearm and fuel accordingly. Sounds like a good Idea to me.

This would be EZ to implement I believe. Just change the paramaters for the dot commands for fuel and ord

make it so , if parked on rearming point the host would accept .fuel 1 .fuel 2 .fuel 3 . ord 1 .ord 2. .ord 3 etc....... or just have a simple text pop up window to select new configuration...

Great idea. Also how about instead of a clipboard map we get the latest photos from Penthouse that we can browse though on the clipboard.
