Title: A random button in the Hangar.
Post by: Angus on January 27, 2003, 07:54:30 AM
Sometimes I get tired of AH, and I guess many of you do. Always milling around in furballs, or jaboing in one of your selected raids.
Anyway, when I want some more excitement, I toss a dice to select a plane. That lead me to fly Jugs, Il-2's, TBM's and all sorts of planes I normally don't fly.
Even in the  DA I sometimes do this.
So how about having a Random button in the Hangar? You could pick a category (Bomber, Fighter, etc) and press it, - PRESTO, you're on the runway, and if you don't take off, you're Yellow!
How about it HTC? Folks?

Get yourself one of those many sided gaming dice - one for each catagory of a/c. Make out a list to match the number for each a/c and when you get board take them out and roll them for your a/c.

At around 50 cents to $1.00 a pair it will be much cheaper than having HTC program a "RANDOM" button on the kneeboard. Let them work on new stuff like getting us new aircraft to fly.

love the idea angus.
Default to 100 gas, and random plane/loadout.
It would be fun fun fun :)

I often stare on the list trying to pick something and can't make the decision.

An interim idea along those lines is you could ask for a random plane name on channel 1.  Go with the first plane somebody names (assuming somebody on channel 1 doesn't flame you for asking;)   ).  Not only will you get an idea of a plane to fly, but you will give people a conversation topic on how Al Gore invented that particular plane.  :D
