Hello all,
Just to let you know I've found a good training opportunity to practice Pair Formation Flying when on your own. Under Single Player/Single Missions/Battle of the Bulge, there is the Mission
'Road to Bastogne'.
Immediately after the mission starts, look up and there is a single P-51 flying above you. Climb up and latch onto his wing. He will keep climbing for a bit and then continue straight ahead for a while. At times you may encounter FW-190s, and may have protect your leader. Later on your leader may descend and start a series of ground attacks.
This is an excellent training opportunity. Since your leader is moving quite a bit, climbing, descending and turning, it will require your full attention to stay with him. When getting separated due to his abrupt maneuvers, try to get back and stay on his wing as quickly as possible.
Enjoy!
