formation question

[+daddyairplanes 9,902]

Gonna release part one of a DC-10 pack soon, plus there are a couple of other airliners in Gen 1 section that could get updated. Thinking of making an airliner nation for them, but how to make it so they fly single ship or in a spaced out stream? A mass formation of Fed Ex bird will likely only be cool the first time you see it...........

IIRC the planes will appear as single if you defines their role as Transport in the data.ini

I am a left over dombo first gen moron but for single ship you can use the flight roster (don't know if that feature is in second gen  too...)

Gepard thanks for the input. Will see how it goes

Derk, it does work that way in Gen 2 but i am looking t a predominantly AI bird

Misunderstood your question, sorry

No worries. Thanks for an answer!

If you use a specific nation for airliners you can also set specific formations. Already done with the MB-339 PAN mod. In this case simply left only the first position.
