How long are you willing to sit there online waiting for the above..?

5 mins, 10 mins 20 mins??

like in real life ?

10 - 15 min depending on what should be done.

See my interview with Spitfire rigger John Milne ...

Me: So how long did it take to refuel a Spitfire.

JM: About 10 minutes. The Spitfire only had 2 small tanks.

Yes, just refueling. But you need also new ammo and sometimes the aircraft must be repaired

Implementing wait times: I think best way to empty a server

On spitfires, when they started to use the canvas strips to feed the colt brownings through the lower pannels apparently they could rearm the guns in 10 minutes.

Damage and repair is a completely different matter. Either the damage would be superficial and as pilot in command you'ld need to decide if it was worth your life taking off or time to get a new plane.

In a realistic senario hopefully it would be possible for pilots to be penalised for not following the taxi ways when heading from the runway to the rearming point. Extra damage to undercarrage, radio going u/s due to all the bumps, sights getting knocked out of alignment etc!

Cheers!

This is sounding great, hope there's a dynamic campagin for offline players.

BTW, I've found when a plane lands @ a runway that has been bombed, the plane stops near the crater, waits for about 5 seconds then vanishes and reappears @ the parking spot. Not sure how that's going to effect your scripts? would be better if the plane avoids the craters (veteran pilot) or loses it's undercarriage (novice / average)

Again, using Zuti MDS (IL2-1946) you could specify the "friction factor" for a home base area. It would be useful in COD if we had a "friction object" to lay down beside runways/taxiways so that pilots had to be careeful to stick to markd areas or risk tipping the plane on its nose I might add, some sort of flexible land-friction method would be needed when COD eventually moves to the Pacific theatre, as runways/taxiways in jungle areas often has marsden plates to keep planes out of the mud, and taxi off the marsden plates & the pane would sink to the wheel axles in mud.

If you do that, everybody will just hop into a new plane. To make it appealing for realism-geeks like you and me, you've got to combine it with some limited supply, e.g.: You join the server, you always get your desired steed, BUT after that, there's some very limited plane supply (filled up by x planes every hour or so), along with a server culture that frowns upon easy-plane-hopping (And some server-re-join time rule of like 5 mins. to not be able to get your starting condition over and over again)

i find the general idea of RRR very good and it would add to immersion.
...and i dont believe that everybody would just create a new flight to avoid the waiting times.but if they want, they still could do so.i for example find myself flying way more carefully since cliffs of dover.only because of the size of the map.i dont want to cross the channel for 15min and then get shot down after the first contact because i was too low for example.so my sorties usually last 45-60 minutes average..when i then get my plane back to france and land safely, i usually light a cigarette and type some words into the chatbar to thank my oponents for the fight.this takes at least 5minutes until i create a new flight.i certainly wouldnt mind, but would enjoy to see ground groups coming to RRR my plane to make it ready for take off again.this way also kill markings could be added automatically on your paintscheme(of course depending whether and how much enemies you shot down).

are there some modder who consider this feature?
are there some difficulty to transfert the RRR 46 zuti to RRR Cod ?

Why this feature doesn't exist yet ?
why dev doesn't implement officially this feature ? whyyyyyyyy ?
