Weapon preflight settings in Mission Editor

[Notso]

This is a carry over from a comment I made in one of the other threads (General cannister question). In the weapons tab of the ME, it would be nice to have the ability to set all of the setting per weapon such as Fuze arm time, fuze delay time, HOF, function time, Laser codes, etc. This could be on the same page or an adjacent tab to the laser code setting page that exists there now.

 

This page would be the equivalent to doing the weapons preflight walkaround before the pilot gets in the jet to start up. Generally all the settings are communicated to the weapons loaders who would load the weapons and then set the settings and then the pilot would verify it during the walk-around and change as necessary. It would not be uncommon for the pilot to change the settings based on new planning information or a change in the attack plan.

 

This page would better simulate what a real pilot does during mission planning as well as preflight. For those that don't want to do all that work or don't understand how it needs to be setup, there could be a default setting that is already there. But it would be really cool if we could set say a .1ms delay or something like that on a GBU-10 if I was going after bunkers and needed the penetration effects where instantaneous fuzing would not achieve desired weapons effects. Although I'm not even sure DCS models that sort of weapons stuff. If not, make that my 2nd wishlist item ;)

Came here from the cannister weapon thread too ;)

 

+1, though some aircraft IIRC have this already to some extent, such as laser codes on the F-5E, a couple of settings for the RB-04E and so forth.

 

What is missing are things like fuzes etc.
