I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but it is really frustrating to go to the hangar screen to prepare for a sortie.
Load up the correct fuel, drop tank, and ordinance (especially since your last flight settings are not saved). Hit fly...
"Drop Tanks are disabled at this field"
Ok, back to hangar screen, de-select drop tanks, increase fuel selection, hit fly....
"maximum fuel load is 50%"
Ok, back to hangar screen, change fuel selection, hit fly again and finally take off.
Is it possible for the hangar screen to indicate graphically what the possible loadouts are at the field currently?
If drop tanks are disabled, have them grayed out and unselectable, or some other visual indicator, that I am making what is essentially an invalid selection.
Same for fuel loads or other selections. Let us know immediately in the Hangar Screen, not later as we hit fly.
It would add polish to the game, and decrease my frustration level, measureably. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yep.. good idea.
There you are, with an enemy strike inbound, intending to take up your 109 so you can grab alt fast.
Oops.. no drop tanks allowed
Oops.. only 25% fuel at this field
Oops.. the bad guys are overhead now!!
