Status: offline 		Just made a useful discovery while "harvesting" trained pilots out of my restricted West Coast squadrons. When you get the "Transfer pilot to group reserve?" and "Transfer pilot to general reserve?" dialogs, you can use the "Y" key instead of clicking "Yes".

So, instead of:

"Move mouse over tiny text and click", then "move mouse to tiny text in dialog and click", then "move mouse back to next row of tiny text and click", ....

You can:

Move mouse over first pilot and click; hit 'Y' to move to group reserve; click again (no mouse move); hit 'Y' to move to general reserve ....

Sounds trivial (and may have been obvious to everybody but me) but it is a definite time-saver.

Status: offline 		haha, I discovered this function a short while ago as well. It's certainly a huge time saver in the pilot management chore lol :D

Definitely something everyone should know about if they want to micromanage their pilots.

If you don't want to see the video, just go to the VIDEO folder and rename the intro file (I've renamed mine to "no_intro").

Status: offline 		If you want to save time with skipping screens you could try programming the mouse buttons with ESC and Y and using them while playing. We once had a thread where there were all these hints and just did it. It has saved me countless minutes with these settings.What you need is a multibutton mouse Ex Logitech and program the keys with the buttons while in game.

Thanks for this tip. I had wondered if it would work and was too lazy (busy with turns!) to ever try it.
