These shots are stunning!

Do you have to keep formation during refuel? I hope there is no autopilot ;\)

Thanks for sharing.

Hi everybody btw, its my first post here.

No autopilot indeed. It was tough to get those shots. It'd be fun to have mishaps like this: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ff2_1187977373

Maybe this type of damage modeling will be possible.

This... This... this is ORGASMIC! Man I wish I could jump in and help. Fantastic work. I've GOT to know the instant this thing comes out. Have you guys ever considered putting an RSS feed on your site?

Amazing shots, this has so much potential!

Personally I'd give the clouds some more work, but again - the sim looks really great so far.

Indeed, the clouds are a weakeness now, specially the annoying popup - I wish to have this cloud system, but so far these guys didn't replied yet (I'm curious to see how much it would cost to license such system for our sim, if such a thing is possible)

Those clouds are very nice. It would be awesome to have them in JT.
