Title: Take-over / switch position option
Post by: Mister Fork on July 05, 2003, 09:00:15 PM

Two options:
1
I'm flying a bomber / driving a vehicle / captaining a PT boat-destroyer.  I want to gun instead of drive.

I type in: .switch pilot

A message window appears to my gunner. "Fork wishes to switch positions. Do you accept? Yes / No"

When he/she clicks "yes", I'm now in their position.  

2
If I disco for any reason, or by choice, a message appears...

"Fork has disconnected, do you wish to take-over the mission? Yes / No"

That way flights aren't lost, missions busted because someone disco's.

minor points but sure worth implementing if there's time.

Along with that, would like to be able to staff every available position on the vehicle. Can you imagine, eight people on the same B-17?:D

8 ppl on the same B17 is almost the correct number of the crew, each one on its own gun/pilot/bomber postation, it could be very good.

Well there's no position for either the radio operator, or the navigator. For the purposes of AH, eight will have to do.

..........then reduce the crew to 6 ppl (I thought it could not be necessary to highlight this)
