[AI formation] Left or right? Where has four of four to be?
-
Hi,
as you will know, I have made some TE’s with AAR with AI, where I not fly as lead…
Yesterday I flew as #3 of four and I ordered my wingman ‘Close up’, three times.
And I was really astonished as I saw it at the left side of my a/c.
(No, no order ‘Switch side’ til this time…)Regards

Split/Glue wing matters if you fly #3. #4 will fly off you or #1 in different situations.
E.g.:
#1 ordered “Go wedge”…If I fly as #2, I fly left of #1, #3 right of #1 and #4 right of #3. Always… (the same, if I take lead…)
But if I fly as #3, #2 flies left of #1, I (as #3) fly right of #1 but #4 now flies left of me (as #3).

You have to control your own wingman. Sometimes #4 will depart you (#3) and fly the flight formation or stick with you. Memory is that if you’re too far out of position then #4 sticks with you.
-
Also, if I’m not mistaken, #4 will fly in the ‘correct’ position. IOW, if you are too far on the right (say, 0.5 nm) and the formation should be, say, 0.2nm, #4 will ignore you because you’re out of position and fly in the correct spot (i.e. 0.4 nm from lead).
You can see AI do this on the tanker. Take a #2 or #3 position and call the tanker. #1 goes to pre-contact. The others line up properly (close-in, echelon on the tanker), regardless of where you are, but they will leave you a space to ‘squeeze in’.

maybe they fly echelon or box or diamond.

Yes I read them. When you are 3 you can command flight formation?

No, he can only access “W” wingman menu. AI flight lead is calling changes passing waypoints.

well are they on wedge? maybe the bug is here. maybe the voice command is different from the actual command.
Meaning you hear wedge but they go box or whatever.
Haven’t flawn AI lead missions specially with BMS and maybe things are changed. -

And as far I could notice it makes it worse with ‘Close in’ from #3(in that case me) to #4…
I will be watching it on. And if I will find time, I will make a video.Regards
