Hanger pop up box

[potsNpans]

I'd like those pesky pop up boxes in the hangers to end. It's getting exhausting dragging my cursor over to it and click it. Also greater visibility of trim indicators in cockpits, my eyes strain on some rides like the C205.
That is all for now, generally pleased with the rest.

+1 I think they should be boxes that fade after popping up. *shrugs*

+1, Them pop ups were so annoying! Make them fade out or put the message in the text buffer or something.

Great idea for the fade outs.   Make them quick, like two seconds and 
An alternative would be to have the warnings appear only in the text buffer.

[guncrasher]

yup text box would be great.

Finally figured out what you're talking about.  +1.  Text buffer would be much better.

I'd rather have an "ordnance disabled at this field" in the text buffer rather than a pop up too.

Well by the looks of things you wont have to "look" for that info as it will all be displayed in the tower for the next version of the game.

Just like in the current version of the game:



The hangar is not the same as the tower.

But in the new version the indicator lights will be lit showing what is up at the field as well as the country status. So you will know ORD is down with out clicking on a bomb load and having the pop-up warn you that ORD is unavailable. Lights catch the eye, words??? who looks at them?

And the current tower shows ordnance status.  The problem is that if you click on a plane in the hangar and there are ords on it, you get the popup.  No way around it.

you must go to the tower before you go to the hangar.  always.

So?  As I indicated, the tower has ords status info in the current game version.

But, if you select a plane in the hangar in order to view it's load out - and it has ordnance already equipped - you get a pop up.

It doesn't matter if you know the ords are down or not.  Just looking at the plane causes the pop up.  You can't remove the ords without first looking at the plane.


I went to the hangar at a base without ords and simply took a look at all the bombers:




If you select a fighter/attack plane, knowing ords are down, you will still get the popup if it has ords on it.

I see your point.  that is annoying as hell.  your right that should be going into the text message.  however i found today, just press enter and the box disappears just make sure you dont click anything else.
