flying with the bbformation as ai i guess...
Thanks guys.
Got it in one Pete. I set em up with a flightplan Manston, Biggin, Southampton, Lydd, Manston with no landings. The pics just show the taxi and take off at Manston and a few aerial shots.
I chose Manston because it's got nice wide taxiways and they don't go off the edge into the grass and it works a treat. Have to say when I looked for the first time and there they were all lined up I was quite surprised and the take off was brilliant. Trouble is although I've only given em a cruise speed of 165 kts they took off like a scalded cat and I couldn't accelerate fast enough on the runway. Also in the climbout. Had to slew to catch em up - in the Stang! And full throttle in the Stang is only just a tad faster than their cruise speed, although I might look to adjust that a bit.
Oh yeah - the other thing is you need to switch crash detection off. I didn't, and as soon as you go close to make the V into a diamond you stop and stall, which is why I'm flying a bit lower than them.
I'm gonna play a bit more with em and can't wait to see the landing! Unless anyone else wants to try it and beats me to it I'll post a few more shots of the approach and landing back at Manston.
Wow. Just had to show you this. One of the most amazing shots I've ever done. Made my skin tingle - really felt as though I was flying in there with them because I managed to get in tighter than this shot.
Hung in there for a minute or so but boy was it tough to keep position and speed. But really worth it.
