Title: A 4th table in the hangar!
Post by: Krusty on November 01, 2011, 03:32:10 PM
With the 410 announced as "on the list" I think this would be the perfect time to wish for a 4th loadout table in the hangar! Currently we have 3, left/center/right, and usually they do the job. However with the 410 the loadouts will be rather limited due to the combinations and the available space in the hangar, with only 3 tables.

A hangar rearranging might be warranted. Just to give a better ability to pick and choose different layouts on the hangar floor. It also wouldn't hurt to move the plane in question out a bit and show it more from the top down so you can see what the skin looks like. I normally have to toggle between standard and gun convergence to get a good look-see at what skin I want to fly.



P.S. What about showing TWO of the airplanes? Facing each other, so you can see left and right sides of the skin from the hangar? They would be further away from your viewpoint (from the "camera") but could be nice when skin-browsing.

What about the ability to use the mouse to rotate the plane around all axes...plus zoom in and out.  :aok

I sometimes have to go to gun convergence, hit F8, and then pan down and over to get a nice view of the plane's skin.

I would like the ability to manually rotate the plane a bit, or at least see more of the skin somehow when making my choice.

I do this too, but you can't even get a good look at a vehicle that doesn't have a convergence buttone (GV's, Bombers). If the hatswitch in the hangar rotated around the A/C instead of just panning around it'd be great.

I generally end up upping one in a base deep in friendly territory and using the F3 while she's on the ground.

ImADot's 3D mouse to rotate and zoom is perfect. +1 :aok

Krusty's 4th table would be awesome.  +1 :aok

I believe it was you, Krusty (or was it Karnak), that posted something about the 110's having a lot more load out options than what we have currently.  A 4th table would allow them (as well as other planes) to have more options.

Yes, that was me. However, the one that would have needed the 4th is the 410. I think even with added options the 110G might fit on the 3 tables we have already.

You win, Sir.
