How to "lead" a flight?

Act as wingmen, as it were.

I'll try the other method of having a second flight on the runway with me, and I guess assign them to cover me?

Thanks,

They will follow with the 2 waypoints...take off/order a formation type to them, order close or far, and off you guys go

Try setting at least 1 more waypoint after the takeoff with the setting "normal flight"...

Sorry don´t understand this behaviour
which patch version are you running?
I´ve missions with more then 2 waypoints, set to normalfly and they will follow
me everywhere running ver.15950

PS.if possible attach mission to have a look at.

If there are waypoints AI will always follow them, its up to the leader to be there too. They will even crash into the terrain if the waypoints are not realistic to the aircrafts capability in shedding/gaining speed and loosing/gaining altitude.
