Good evening all...

I went through the Misc. and Utilities Downloads for FSX and I can't seem to find it.

There was a utility that you could pick your aircraft from the FSX Program and place them either on the ground or in the air.

I think there were four aircraft and several formation types to pick but not sure.

I used it several times and now seem to have lost it.

Any help would be most appreciated...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I dont know what exactly you mean by formation in this context but I just use FS Recorder to record a plane and then play that back as traffic whilst recording another plane and so on.

Thanks for the reply "raptorva"...

This was a tool you would start...pick four aircraft and place them in a box or line formation and start and they would fly with the default aircraft you chose.

I think you could set airspeed and altitude also.

Had it and lost it when I reloaded FSX some time ago... Roll Eyes
