Supposed to be like this I think:

I had really random luck with that though, sometimes they'd get in a rough formation, but usually two of them would be totally retarded and flying on somewhere else. Best was when I said Line Abreast and three of them formed a large vertical diamond and the forth was afterburning around under them all flapping it's speedbrake like a fish out of water.

I have been trying to figure the same thing out...wanted to make a 2 ship of F-15's make a low pass over the ramp to add some "atmosphere" during the start up time. Seems they want to stay in a combat spread with quite a distance between them. Not sure how to tighten up the formations.

Anyone? I've seen photos of close formation with multiple AI aircraft in formation

Like my tanker training mission?

You have to place each aircraft as a seperate unit. Each with its own set of waypoints. Use the ruler in the ME to space them out correctly and make sure they are all set to the same height and speed. Only works in a straight line, placing subsequent waypoints which involves turns will muck up your formation.

 

Unit Groups do not have a close formation option.

Make sure you select AM (and not FM) also. Freq is 131.0 AM if I remember correctly.

 

Stoppped messing with it since beta2, so it could be a beta3 problem.

Forget it, I've been trying to do what you've said since original Flanker. The AI never fly as low as you set them in the editor and do weird roller coaster maneuver if you set them to fly a low and slow flight.

ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
