I agree. >It might also be worth including buttons for engaging the launchbar, and >even firing the catapult. I think it would be valuable to add a configurable time delay to the firing of the catapult. This would allow the user to click "fire", close/dismiss the dialog window/box, and prepare to fly the plane. The default could be, say, 5 seconds, and there could be a separate dialog window/box that shows the time remaining before the catapult is fired (this separate dialog would automagically disappear when done). I suppose there should be an option to not show this countdown timer (or rather, showing it requires checking a box in the carrier dialog). >2) The dialog currently is very specific to the Nimitz and its current >location.
