Formationflight for Bombers
« on: November 08, 2012, 05:38:09 AM »

At this point I am working on my first selfmade mission "Attack on Berlin" and I learn more and more "how to"  ;) - but there is this prob that I wonder if AI - Bombersquads etc. can fly in "tidy" formation like "V" or "Arrowhead" or "Diamond" etc. Is that possible to do? Would look much better I think.  Thx for a hint! :)

As I recall it was taken down by Frog a long while back as "incomplete" or somesuch, and they've been working on it, or not, since.  Their work, their choice, but I do hope to see it again someday.  (I missed out on the first launch.)

Yeah I mean like there is so much modding going on and I think that is really one useful and realistic thing unless I miss my guess? . I am even a tiny bit(!) disappointed that this is not included in DBW or so but nevermind. :(

This mod was not compatible with the Mod Zuti (MDS).
But I'm OffLiner so Mod Formation is much more useful for me.
I keep my version as a diamond ...

I would just like to have the Formation portion of that mod..............  It's standard in game once it starts, but I'd like to see that option in FMB so we could set the formation style of each flight before spawn.  I can bind 16/32 planes together using only the element lead and  one set of waypoints without a mod.  But being able to have 4 plane elements that spawn by default in Eschelon right spawn in finger four left and the next on in Finger Four Right would be one of the best mods for mission builders.  I can't tell say how many times I have just asked for this mod alone.  If I knew how to pull the comms Change formation commands out of game and put them in FMB I'd be a happy camper.  I have asked Diadalos to consider this mod too, don't reckon I'll ever see it though.

Cheers

Oh yeah, if you want to learn how to bind 16 planes together and those to another 16 flying in formation using only the leaders waypoints I guess I could send you a sample of how it's done.

Epervier

I was wondering where you got the pictures for frogs formation mod in your previous mod please? I have a copy of frogs mod, but no readme, so I'm not sure how to get planes to join or unjoin formation.

If you have a copy of the readme could you post please?

By the way, the version I have seems to work ok in 4.101, although I only play offline.

Regards
