I see some screenshots around here of planes in formation with other planes, and how on earth do you do that? I can only fly in formation with other AI aircraft randomly flying around. It'd be AWESOME if you could record flights somehow and do your own formation stuff. Cuz it's awefully tricky staying in formation with a Cessna 172 while flying an F/A-18F... it's tricky, but very possible.

Anyway, any responses appreciated.

You can use Traffic Tools to add AI military jets flying around, then you'll know where they are and can fly along side and take your screenshots.
