an idea i had this morning was copying the rearm & refuel menu from dcs over to sp
example: 4 phoenix + 4 heaters + 2 bags
how it would work
a preset aircraft (clean, full fuel, full gun/cannon ammo, full cm) is input alongside the save file of the build.
a new option is added to hardpoint parts: stores type (disabled/ext fuel tank/a-a missile/a-g bombs/a-g other/pods/all), and the ability to combine specific types. other specific settings to the part would be max weight & max sustained g load
a new save category is introduced: stores
this category works the exact same as sub-assemblies, and has preset and custom sub-categories you can set (which would have to be added to the stores type in hardpoints)
the menu
the rearm & refuel menu would be accessible only when stationary and parked on the aprons of the airfields,
another property that can be customized is availability of specific stores
ex. R-27 & R-73 missiles can be loaded at bandit only, and AIM-120B/C & AIM-9L/M/X can load at wright/yeager/snowstone, though not bandit
example images from dcs:
full fuel & gun load, 60x60 cm:
loading fuel tank center station:
loading amraam on a-a missile/pod station
final loadout, 1x center bag 330 gal, 2x aim-120c, 2x aim-9m
this would make for more interesting use of airfields to load up, refuel, swap stores, especially for long flights in mp
this post had me so tripped up back then lol
'omg bakigeg fly tocat for ran!!!!!!!!!!!'
Nice thank you 👌🏻👌👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾👌🏿
@shipster I'm just saying...
What was the point of this? @Diver
Did you know your airforce downed 3 fighters with one aim54 Phoenix @BaconEggs
@shipster yeah so?
Well yes but actually no. I don’t really mind for the whole rearm/refuel thing, I think we mainly need a simple way to just combine all the parts to a group. @BaconEggs
@shipster thats kinda what i explained lol
?! xD @Diver
Firstly we’d need to be able to group parts together! So we can much more easily attach our weapons to whatever we want. Instead of clicking through every part of the weapon to make sure it doesn’t make unreasonable connections to something on the other side of the f$%king plane.
Yes. This would be a great mod/feature.
Ive been wanting to play DCS. I haven't got a pilots license @CedC
actually? @BaconEggs
you've gotta be kidding me
@CedC where did you get that from
@BaconEggs I thought as much. Typically only fighter pilots irl play dcs.
@CedC yes sir i fly f14 for iran and pubg mobile is my favorite game
Wow you play dcs? Are you a fighter pilot irl
They'd have to add more realistic weapons though and you'd have to input what kind of plane you're using
