Title: Question about exporting formations
Post by: Baumer on March 31, 2008, 02:21:52 PM

I haven't had a chance to play with this yet, but I saw that I can export and import formations at the route level. Dose that mean I can have two solo planes fly a route with a certain offset from the route then export it as a "wingman"  formation. Then have "wingman" show up in the formation dropdown under flight properties?

The export function takes all the Flight information for a route and exports it to a file.  You can then import that file to another route in the same mission or even a completely different mission.

For instance, say you have a set of 4 flights of B-17s in a perfect box formation.  When you export it you can then use that same box formation in other mission files.  All you have to do is set the spawn point without having to re-enter offsets, loadouts, fuel levels, spawn formations, or flight descriptions.
