Newcomer / Intro Any wing tutorials? How to get to the same instance...

I've been trying to do some wing combat recently, and it's really hard to meet up in a mission instance.

When you're targetting a wingmate, there's no "ETA" timer like there is with a signal source or station. The lead wing member gets an ETA timer to their signal source, but those following do not. You have to guess how fast to go to not overshoot them.

Are there any tricks that I am missing, or is it just damned tricky?

Wing Beacon?

I saw a tutorial / demo video and they used the wing beacon - locked on to that as the nav target and it seemed to act like a normal arrival.

Bear in mind I am new, I have not done this myself but remember seeing it on the youtube in the last couple of weeks. (Been watching a lot of these.)

You need to be already winged up in supercruise. Then one person activates their wing beacon and drops into wherever you want to go. The rest of the wing locks onto the wing beacon and should drop onto the wing beacon. That usually works, provided your (plural) network setup and FD's servers can be made to agree. Keep in mind that the actual instance host is one of your PCs.
If that one doesn't work, your next step would be ivoking FD support - they usually have some experts to help you with network settings and how top gently nudge the instancing server along.
