I realize that the playable aircraft for LOMAC are set in stone. But how open will the sim be to mod-makers that may wish to make other aircraft flyable? For example, how difficult would it be to make the F-14 or Tornado, etc. flyable? I know mod-makers for Flanker 2 were able to design new cockpits for non-flyable aircraft in that sim. Will it be possible for converted aircraft to land on carriers or refuel in flight? Could they be selected from menus in the same way as Su-27/33, F-15C, A-10, etc.? Could they be used in user-made missions? Regardless of your answer, I am definitely looking forward to this sim!!

I'd be surprised if some clever hackers didn't come up with some way to make all aircraft flyable...they've done it with earlier versions of Flanker.

That would be awesome! It seems to me that a reasonably realistic F-14, Tornado, or F-4 could be hobbled together from what is available (models, avionics, etc.). How open is the LOMAC code to modding? Is it possible for users to create new flight models? Could any user-created flyable aircraft be selected and used in missions or the mission planner as the other included aircraft are (meaning one could easily switch between original F-15C and user-created F-4 without having to install new models/cockpits, etc. every time before the sim is booted up)? I think LOMAC is very close to the "Holy Grail" as it is, but to be able to fly as a carrier-launched F-14 or F/A-18 against a carrier-launched Su-33 or MiG-29K (or vice versa) would make LOMAC an instant classic. And we all want a new Tornado sim too! (not that we aren't very happy with the A-10)!
