Title: Random Fighter, Bomber, Vehicle
Post by: Nefarious on June 13, 2015, 11:22:53 PM
As for someone who doesn't fly the Main Arena very often, It would be nice to have a random Fighter, Bomber and Vehicle Button(s).

I logged in the MA after FSO and just sat there staring at the Aircraft list, it's where I came up with this idea.

Pick me a random aircraft or vehicle and start me on the runway or VH with the default ords and fuel.

"I'm feeling lucky"

Google used to have that, didn't they?

Still do.


What if you could also check which vehicles you wish to be random in?  EX: Right now, I feel like GV's and Bombers.  Check, check aaannnnnd, I'm feeling lucky!

Leave the boxes blank, and you will be randomly placed in anything.  Check a box and you will be randomly placed into something in that category.


Either way, I like it.  There are times I log in and just sit there thinking of what to do.  +1 :aok

+1 for a fighter, attack, bomber, and vehicle check boxes. Attack box would give you a random selection of bombs and/or rockets. Fighter could give you a random fuel with or without DTs. I think that this would have to auto void the perked rides.

I wouldn't auto void perk rides.  Just tack on a check box for them to be included or not in the random generator. :aok

I heard one guy say a few months back he started at the top of the hanger list and worked his way down.

One tour I took up each plane in alpha order until I got a kill in it then moved to the next one.  Learned a lot!

Silly and fun!

write down all the planes on paper then cut them and put them in a bucket and Boom there ya go  :x
Since I said that I might do it and fly that plane till I have 10 kills in it then switch lol Ill even start a thread if anyone wants too play along with me.

Actually.. this sounds like a nice little Java script to write for a smart-phone.

Leave the airfield up to the player to choose, but have the app randomly pick a plane and loadout..

Hmmm...

Then, when you're bored at work waiting for the cloud to open your Annual Reporting spreadsheet, you can see what you would have been assigned if you were playing AH instead..

Each plane/vehicle has an ID number in the game. Get a little random number generator app, and then use the dot command to spawn. That way, you truly have no idea what you'll get.

Just messing around I made a simple site that has separate categories for randomizing planes/vehicles. Feel free to use it if you like.

There are a few typical AH funnies in there as well that may come up. All about having fun!
