Coolest thing about LOMAC:

Aerial Refueling!  I just tried a couple of hookups in the Su-33 and it was some of the best flying I've had in a while.  It's really cool because once you actually hookup, the basket and hose follow you around as you refuel and the refueling actually works!  Good formation practice also... ;D ;D

First Hook-up!

It's LOMAC not MSFS. Ariel refuelling is a bitch to get right, but damn did I feel smug once I could do it  ;D

yeah its pretty cool, don't know which I like more though refueling or carrier ops...

BTW Re-fueling the F-15 is even harer (at least I think it is) as you can't see the boom once its behind the cockpit  ::)

In the US system, the boom operater controls the refuling boom, telling the pilot where to be, then manouvering the boom onto the aircraft.

Now I think that's Jolly Sensible! Could be a minigame, navigate the plane to the right place, then switch to the boom operator and link up without smashing all that curved glass....

or maybe not ::)
