...and I want this !

[aWac9]

cool. that each formation has a key assigned and seeing how the planes fold back is wonderful ,,,

[fly77]

uff ! My brain undergoing heavy "neural network training" to keep those migs flying in formation....and this just for flying straight !

[aWac9]

If the first person pilots the mig, they must do it as a master and the rest of the mig as slaves ... it would be like having a reference. Andfly must have the password or maybe it could help you ,, when I added birds, it followed the main camera ,, but it did not do it abruptly,, you walked away and the birds came to you, .. surely Andfly will help you, tell them.
greetings ...

Actually I don't want the player to be the leader of the formation, but just join a formation that already is flying, so that he need to learn  how to stay in formation.
Having all other follow you of course is also possible but in my opinion is less interesting.
In both cases the followers need to have AI to steer apropriately by applying jsbsim commands.

I need to have a look at how the "Environment" of andfly controls  jsbsim birds. It can be of insipration but not necessarily solve all issues as here we are flying at much higher speeds.

[aWac9]

we will be attentive to your progress ..

[fly77]

actually I think I will release a preliminary version, even if it does not what I finally want (that is: holding together reliably formations)
but still can allow you to fly together with a number of migs that "tend" to fly together - allthough without much discipline  (eventually not following their leader)
So I even will not indicate who is the leader...and let you guess who is boss and who needs to be punished
perphaps the partly random flight choices of the formation members can make it actually more interesting and fun

[fly77]

let's switch on the lights !

[fly77]

OK ...formation flying now is good enough even if it doesn't really keep a given configuration for long..but still planes fly together and tend to rejoin. ..also added some cool "collision evading maneuvers" (planes that risk a collision exit the formation to the bottom or to the top)
Unfortunately all this tweaking somehow broke the missile targeting..so I'll have to find where I broke it

looks a like a cool fresh place for holidays to escape  when cities are smoldering in the heat

gracias

[fly77]

I think I should release my train loko ..its probably fun enough to drive , so that you guys will start laying down rails anyway

[aWac9]

fantastic ,, I would love to try your work on the train ,, I am already imagining a wester movie ,,
in this project, several trains could be linked ...? I do not remember ??

[fly77]

great ! knowing that somebody is willing to do the hard work of railroad worker encourages me to do the final polishing before release.
You can attach train carriages...yes
