Ordnance disabled popup

[caldera]

These can be rather annoying if you are going through selections in the hangar that happen to be heavy.   Sometimes getting a whole bunch of these stacked on top of each other that require multiple pointy-clicky tediousness to get rid of.



Is there a way to get the message in the text bar, like join requests? 

[caldera]

An extreme example, but still...

Looks like a wish but since it's in help and training...

You can easily avoid creating a stack of messages.

Just click on the OK when the message appears and it goes away.

Until you choose another plane in the hangar that also happens to be heavy.  And you didn't answer the question in the op:

This was in the wish sub forum many moons ago, but getting in the habit of checking status lights board in tower is a simple work around for these annoyances. Be nice to see empty ordnance racks instead and/ or voice informing of conditions.

Unless you've happened to be on a jabo kick for the last little while and have taken ord on many aircraft that can carry it.  It would be nice if you could choose an aircraft like say, a P47 or P51 that you happened to have used heavy the last time without having popup windows before you can get rid of the ord.

I'ts likely Hitech can code it. I'm not sure it's worth the time but it's not my call. Putting the message in the text buffer would let you take off without ords and not notice it.

Another option is to go through the aircraft list at a base where ords are not disabled, to avoid clicking on the popup.

If I was going to wish for something with regard to this it would be that if you click on a plane that last time had ords and you were on a base without then the ord piles in the hanger would have big Xs through them and your plane would simply not have them when you launched. After that sortie if you happened to click on the plane again but at a base with ords your plane would then have the ords until you clicked them away. Same thing with fuel tanks. This way if, for instance, you always take bombs in the bomb bay of the mossie you'd be good to go all the time, Bombers like Lancs etc. just wouldn't launch at a base without Ords.

When ordinance is disabled, could have two saw horses with a 2x4 across them in front of the selection pallets and a sign nailed hanging down that says (No Ordnance Available) instead of the popup. Include a note about fuel at the same time when it's down to 75%. How it transitions when ord and fuel is available...meh.

[Spikes]

It would be nice to pop up by default, but like stated in a previous post...be able to type .showord 0 like we can do .showjoin 0.

Wouldn't it suffice with only one single announcement per a visit in the hangar instead of getting it for each plane? Without the OK button, of course, so it would be visible for all plane choices. Maybe in the chalk board style?

I don't think it's a problem, Caldera was just asking if there was an option to put it in the text bar.

IMHO it is somewhat of an issue to someone like myself who doesn't know which plane to choose before scrolling through some of them. Not a problem, that's true, but more or less annoying when you're clicking OK for the umpteenth time trying to find the Jabo with the biggest cannons and each of the candidates has eggs chosen either by default or after the last sortie with that plane.

I know there's players who know both the historical and in-game armament variations for each plane but I'm not one of them. When I started, I knew even less. Supposedly the new players of today may know even less, there's not too many ww2 aviation comics around these days.

If you learned one plane a year you'd know 18 planes now.
