Just to confirm what is broken and what isn't regarding AI commands...
 

So, just to be clear, None of the radio commands work, except "Help me!"...which doesn't do much anyway.

Also, if I start a mission as Squadron Leader, and manually start up and take off, the Flight won't follow me....they'll just run through the waypoints without me. But if I airstart, they'll stick to me like glue?

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

This isn't a complaint thread, BTW...just clarifying so I'm sure I'm not screwing something up while building missions.

Changing formation also seem to work.
