6 plane formations

[+Gepard 10,771]

During Korea War the soviet air crews sometimes used a formation what was called "fluid six". It was an improvement of the well known "four finger formation" which was also called "fluid four", but not with 2 pairs, but with 3 pairs of fighters.

I have tried to make such a formation and the formation itself works very well.

But i face a problem, that in single mission screen the game engine sometimes selects 18 planes instead 12. and then the game get CTD.

I dont understand why i get sometimes 18. If i have understood the syntax of the formation.ini correctly then i should only get 12 planes as maximum of a formation. (2 squadrons x 3 Flights x 2 elements = 2 x 3 x 2 = 12)

Does someone has an idea what my mistake is?
