I have no problem with bombers getting into a flight formation (using the select option on waypoints) but with fighters it seems hit and miss. Sometimes they will get into escort and fly above (and often fall behind) and sometimes they will line up in a flight formation and do what they should be doing.

The behavior has definitely changed over the years. Sometimes without rhyme or reason from my perspective. Any tips or thoughts?

I'm not sure that you can get fighters into formation unless they carry bombs or rockets. If they are clean they will get into "Escort" mode.

AFAICS that part of the code was same in 4.02 too so if things were different in the past that must be long ago.
