Rearm before Refuel

[drspankle]

Can we change the order that this is carried out to rearming before refuelling? That way Mavericks can be timing out whilst the fuelling takes place. 

Cheers,

Rearm but don't change the fuel slider and you'll get exactly what you want.

That's what I do, but as this is the Wishlist section and it's nearly Christmas ...

What if there was a switch in the R/R panel where a person can choose what goes first? By default it would be refuel first. But the player can switch to rearm first. Or it could have other options as well. Refuel only, Rearm Only... or even nothing at all (use if you're changing the livery)

This 100%! I wholeheartedly agree there should be options to choose whether to re-arm and/or re-fuel separately, or not at all for just changing liveries or chaff/flare loadout.

As a workaround, with VAICOM you can refuel only, and then rearm only with the normal interface. So the code is there, while not shown in the radio menu. Just sayin'...

Don’t the FC3 modules have that option as well? You can request one or the other? Maybe it is Viacom I’m thinking of

In the radio menu? Oh, need to check that out, haven't noticed. Anyway, with VAICOM you can do it in any module. If you're correct, this explains why.

I think I remember someone saying they was a keybind(s) you could do on FC3, not in the menu

So, a really annoying instance where this option would be nice.. Take the f-15e on a “ready for takeoff” mission( SA for the example) . It starts with bags on. Go to re-arm-refuel.. fuel percentage says 85%. Lets say you don’t want the bags on so you take them off. You load some bombs, missiles etc. and don’t touch the fuel percentage,  hit okay. Well now you sit there for 5 minutes while it fills the bags up, only to take them right off as soon as its done.

 On the flip side of that (more f-15e specific, or at least thats where I notice it). Say you do land to refuel, for whatever reason, and you don’t touch your weapons at all. It seems to re-load them anyway. Never noticed on any other jet because the f-15e is the only one you have to manually assign munitions to each station… You already have them setup, all you wanted was fuel (yes i know it’s next to impossible to run out in the F-15e) and no re-arming necessary, but it seems to re-load  whatever you had on there anyway, because now you have to set them all up in the jet again

 The re-arm logic seems to only affect the f-15e due to its PACS system (minor annoyance) . Seems to me a logical option, maybe at very least,  would be to make it re-arm first to take into account added or removed bags, then refuel after. Why am I sitting waiting for a jet to refuel bags that are coming off in the next step 

Still advocating for the ability to choose one or the other

Here's the most boring track you'll probably ever watch.

Refuel wait .trk

 

... of course it doesn't show the re-arm menu and what I clicked on
