WWII Bomber Formations in 1.5.7

WWII Bomber Formations do not work in 1.5.7.

Flights tagged to follow the lead flight do not actually follow it. They follow only their own waypoints.

Flights beyond the lead flight, which have no waypoints beyond waypoint 0, which has the advanced waypoint actions, which define it to follow the lead flight, will simply fly straight ahead, until the lead flight encounters a turning waypoint, at which time all flights which should follow the lead flight, will simply RTB.

I've attached a simple mission file demonstrating this.

Hi,

For the 3 following groups -> Last WP 10

I know how to setup a bomber formation. I was one of the first to post in the forum how it works.

I works in 2.1, or at least it used to, albeit it is very complicated and work intensive to setup, but I haven't tested it in 2.1 since discovering that it doesn't work in 1.5.7.

Hi,

In your Miz -> 1 and not 10

OMFG!! Yes, thank you! That fixed the problem :D... when dealing with just one air group :huh:

If you want to have a laugh, let this formation fly for a couple of minutes. I think the pilots are on acid :joystick:

But this was already known in 2.1 many weeks ago.

Edit: ... or you can watch this and see the folly
