flying in formation in VR is amazing...

Unbelievable how much easier it is to do close in formation flying. Even landing the F-15 which I had problems steering on touchdown is much more controllable.

This weekend I'm going to try and do my first mid-air refuel. I've tried and gotten close on a 3 monitor setup but couldn't stick it.

But at the same time it's a bit scary... Yesterday in a 2 ship landing formation in M2000c's and I couldnt stop staring at my wingman... until I almost clipped his wing. But the landing was still beautifull. :D

Air Refueling should be alot easier , it will take a bit of practice but the immersion makes it alot easier . if you would like i can join you as well and train on the air refueling . let me know what time you will do it . i usually do it on the 104th

Yes that's my thinking as well because it was so much easier to fly formation I figured mid air refuelling would be less challenging/more realistic.

That would be great as I never seem to fly with humans only AI. Do you use comms if so which one and I'll be sure to have it installed...my computer is a week old so I need to get new software again.

Also I fly mig-29 a lot so I'll have to do some new f-15 key mapping.
