Classic British Flight Sim

Well, Dave's Hunter formation gallery put me right in the mood to upgrade my freeware "Formation" to the above.

Just a couple of points at this early stage:
The listing of available aircraft to add to the formation did not follow the sequence of my hangar listing.
It MAY be because I've re-named models so that, eg, all my DeHavillands are together, and not spread over CBFS DH80...de Havilland....DH114, etc etc, and perhaps "Traffic" lists by their original model names.
I decided to add 4 Venoms to "my" Venom, but could only see 2 of them on the ground, and in the air, a max of 4 all up. It was a horrible experience, as the external view was very shaky, like a badly tracked video. I remember posting this problem a few months back when flying a single aircraft around Barra. IIRC, things improved when I selected "Fixed Spot" or similar.
Then, of course, I tried Instant Replay, which only shows "your" aircraft, and that, too was un-watchable.

I'll try some less-demanding set up, using AI, not necessarily in formation.

I think the aircraft are listed by their "title=" names, although the order seems a bit random sometimes!
If you're getting jerky aircraft, and you run FS in unlimited framerate, try setting the limit to 30 for example. Or possibly the other way round!

Concur with what Dave has said.. especially as I've asked him these questions already

The way aircraft appear in the ATFX window defies belief sometimes and if you have a zillion or so aircraft.. finding the right one can be frustrating I don't use a fraction of the things it can do Mike.. mainly the quick formation tool as you've seen but it will do much, much more
