Refuel Scripting research

Since we don't have the refly button of old, the despawn scripts are used to get rid of landed planes. So the second someone comes in for a landing the timer for that plane's destruction has been started.

Without the old style system of 46 (refly button available only after bail out / landed / crashed / killed) you'll run into planes building up where ever landing zones are. This is assuming 1/2 the people actually use the refuel/rearm option where as the crash landed planes will be piling up as well.

I just don't see how this would work without a significant modification to the despawn scripts (or HINT HINT HINT - Devs make it like 46!!!)

I guess you could add the plane to a array/list of "refueling" planes & change the despawn script to exclude those planes from despawning.
