Lightbulb Formation Flying Good Training Opportunity!

Hi Guys,

In addition to my previous post regarding the training exercise for formation flying, I found an excellent way to practice this in Single Player mode whenever you like:

In Single Missions, under Battle of Britain, there is the Mission 'Inspect AAAs'. Ignore the original purpose of the mission. After Mission Start, climb your Spitfire to approximately 8000 feet and head North-Northeast for the coast. You will soon see a large formation of Hurricanes flying westerly (look for it on the map). Pick one of the Hurries as your leader and practice to stay in formation.

The formation will eventually fly out of the part of the map where you can follow. Just circle where you are and await their coming back. They will then go on in East-Southeasterly direction for a long time and turn back for the Northern coastline when far out at sea. This inspection pattern will go on and on indefinitely, so you have as much time as you like practicing your wingman skills. This mission is not time limited.

If anyone has come across a similar formation flying training opportunity, ideally involving flying P-51s, please let us know!

Enjoy!

MAC

Exclamation P-51 Pair Formation Training Opportunity

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!

I like to go by the principle of 'This AND That', not 'Either/Or'...
