So, you slow down so they can catch (form) up?  Genius thinking!  :aok


the steep vertical maneuvers have something to do with dropping gear to put them into landing form up briefly... according to FT.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but it was a bit of a discovery for me since the drones should mimic whatever you’re doing with your lead plane. Thus if I cut my throttle, so should they, not go faster?

They do not go faster if you cut your throttle. But you slow down so they catch you faster.

If they're trying to keep formation with you, why would they cut throttle if they're behind?

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I was under the impression that the drone planes mimicked whatever you did with your lead plane’s control systems. That would appear to be incorrect.

Add this to my I was today years old list!
