When you get the hang of it.. it can be a huge amount of fun...

My advise is to fly the lead aircraft as smooth as possible, at about 75-80% power.. that way you have some excess power available for the rest of the formo to keep up.

FACT never looked so empty ;) i guess it is after a major sandstorm in 2040 with global warming at it's best?

Tried again last night, but maybe I should use simple aircraft, not A2A's P-40 with AcuSim...

On a side note nathan.howson, would it not be better to use FS2004?
