Goodly morning all... Smiley

Just noticed this.

I can take the same aircraft and use it four times along with the A1(hope that is the correct term) aircraft giving five identical aircraft.
Or I can use one or two aircraft, a few good choices.

try doing a formation of CC-115 buffalo's... it is a lot easier, the stall speed is so low it doesn't matter
 

Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!

Thanks "f-35simpilot"... Smiley

Where I find the biggest problem sometimes is the formation is faster than the A1 aircraft in use.

There is an airspeed selection box when opening the program but I think one needs to have it selected lower than the cruise of the A1 aircraft.

Also if the A1 aircraft is at the rear of the formation it always seems like one is playing catch-up before the formation turns.

It takes practice and patience like everything else.   Wink
