Majestic7 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Tiny improvement, but could we be please get "aircraft resupplied" message when a plane has been rearmed and refueled? I occasionally have several bogies to intercept with one wing of fighters. In those cases, it would be nice to know when exactly they are ready for a new fight. Even a message in the log would be better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'd prefer two messages, one when the AC is capable of another mission and a second when it's fully armed and fueled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranak Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This would be a nice convenience feature, I'm not sure if it would get overly spammy though. I do find myself doing lots of fast forward, then stopping to check to see if planes are ready for their next sortie yet. With 15+ planes that gets a bit annoying, then again I'm not sure how much better 15+ "Aircraft ready" messages would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a different color than the standard news so you can see it right away. Kind of like the UFO activity notifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranak Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 That might work, but if it was in the same area the UFO event notifications would probably get pushed off by plane ready spam. Maybe put it where the objective display is, but on the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belmakor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'd be happy to see something along these lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryodan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 how about this: In the geoscape when you click on an active aircraft, add in another option to the little menu "return to base and rearm" Then when that aircraft has returned and is rearmed have a pop up like you get for ufos with the option to ignore or select new target. Also when the option "aircraft ready select new target" comes up please display the aircraft's available fuel levels to help the player identify its possible operating range and wisely select its new target.

Chris Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yeah, the issue with this is that a pop-up notification would get INCREDIBLY annoying. But it is a valid issue. I think if it was in the same bottom screen as the UFO notifications, but with a different colour, it would probably work fine. That's the least work of all the ideas so I'd rather try that first.

Msvknight Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Mabey you should be able to chose between a pop up and a little side bar thing, like prioritization for aircraft you deem apropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xitax Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes, also +1 for this idea. Also I'm sure it's been suggested before, but I find it annoying how long rearm and refuel takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
