How to "lead" a flight?

[Coog]

Very new to FMB, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Just curious, I want to do something simple, yet I've been unable to figure it out, sadly. I've created a flight of 3 hurricanes, with myself as #1, starting on a runway (take off as the first waypoint). When setting the series of waypoints, how do I get the other 2 hurricanes in my flight to just stick with me (i.e., follow my lead), regardless of where the waypoints are set. At present, I can't figure that out. I take off, wait for them to take off, and then end-up having to link-up with them to the waypoints because they ignore me. So how do I take off and THEY follow me, whereever I go, regardless of waypoints? Or is that not possible?

Many thanks!

P.S. Note: I've assigned myself as plane #2 and #3 in the flight, but they always are "engine running" on the airfield and take-off before I can get the Hurri anywhere NEAR warmed-up and ready for take off, thereby leaving me in the dust.
