As no-one else has reported it, I am assuming it is only me, or something I am doing wrong, but I'll ask anyway.
I created and FMB with 20x B-25's, I then added two Bf-109's using insert plane, then made the number of planes 2, then chose one of them as the Player plane so I could fly it.
I assumed that this meant we were flying as the same wing, which has been what I have done in the past without problem.
After launching the mission (I didn't set an attack point), I was expecting the 109 on my wing to stay with me as I dived at the formation, but it didn't. It continued flying level as I dived and then attacked the B-25's about 20-seconds after me.
Re-starting the mission, I instructed the plan (tab key) to rejoin me, but again it just flew dead level and watched as I dived at the formation, again about 20-seconds later it attacked the B-25's.
I tried the same again, but used the "cover me" command, but the same happened again with the 109 attacking the B-25's later.
I'll start by saying I love the new AI routines as I no-longer have to follow the enemy planes in an ever decreasing altitude as they spiral on their way into the ground, but wonder if the key commands have been compromised by the AI, as I can't get a wingman to rejoin me?
I would also add that the B-25's did seem to behave a little 'fighter-like in their manoeuvres, but that is all.
Thanks for a great MOD, cheers, MP.
