AI Formation Wrong Position Relative to Player/Client

[Nealius]

It's a little hard to see, but in the attached picture, my flight should be in Finger Four, "close." Two, three, and four are in correct position relative to each other, but are lagging way too far behind the player/client lead. This was crusing at 11,000ft at 250mph, conservative engine setting of 36/2400. All formations seem to be affected.

 

Prior to 2.5.6.60966 they held perfect formation. I'll work on getting a track that isn't 90 minutes long for evidence.

Do you have winds in the mission by chance? AI seem to be ‘blown off’ formations by the relative wind and have been for quite a while now. Fly the same mission with no wind, and you’ll find they get right into position without any problems.

 

you can test it by flying as you are here, into the wind, then turn 180 with a tail wind and watch them move too far forward.
