So that we don't have to un-mount the probe everytime we spawn in multiplayer servers, this would be a very very nice option to have.

DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do. (After all there's enough hostility on the internet already which really doesn't help anyone. Thanks.)

It’s there, mission editor just has to click it. And I know you’re going to say your favorite MP servers don’t do it and it would be nice. You should just ask the server admins to check that one box the next time they change something

Not gonna happen, the server admin has ignored many of my requests in the past already, so I appeal to Deka to add this.

Daniel, I’m saying this for you, but maybe blue flag isn’t for you. Maybe you should go somewhere that will value your insight. I know you love it, but maybe it’s time. I personally like the refueling probe, makes it easy to reference angles in a fight, and Deka has already given us more options to remove it then they originally planned.

It's hardly a big deal to get the ground crew to remove it? It doesn't seem to take longer than normal.

 

 

It takes longer to re-fuel than have that removed, so remove the probe, change the load-out, and wait?

He says he doesn’t like removing it, it takes like ten seconds

 

And several button-presses (in radio-menu).

And it blocks view onto the right side of the runway, shortly before taxiing onto the runway :P (problematic when not in VR)

What’s wrong with removing it with a few button presses? Don’t you start the plane? What about doing it while INS starts? If you’re already taking the time to take off I just don’t understand why a few button presses and ten seconds is an issue, the thing already starts as fast a MiG-21!

Don’t you start the plane?

Yes, using autostart.

What about doing it while INS starts?

possible, but I've already got to do enough other things during that time (AKG target coordinates etc., mission planning).

So Deka and/or ED should spend their valuable time changing parts of their software because a server admin doesn't listen to your "highly requested" (sic.) suggestions? Sorry to say so, but the world doesn't revolve around you.

i get everyone's point on this but since AAR is usually not something someone will do on most missions i would prefer the aircraft default to having it off. I find it annoying and in the way. Love that we have the option in editor and we can do it on runway with aircraft turned off but 99.9% of the time i'm having to disable it because again, most missions we are not AAR...

 

 

New to DCS so unless there is a very specific good reason it should be defaulted to ON i have to agree it's an annoyance....

I will say, I do find it strange that the option menu has a checkmark for removing the probe.

 

I find that backwards; usually checkmarks are for a positive existence statement or acceptance, not a negative one.
