[DW2-WP4 EVENT] Formation Flight Training (for would-be instructors)
- Thread starter Corbin Moran
- Start date
Sorry to hear that. Feel free to try again at the 19:00 UTC event. Get in touch with us on the FleetComm discord voicechat. While flying in formation we don´t have much time to look at textchannels or forums, so please give a shoutout in the voicechannel (Wing 1) if you need help getting a wing invite.
Hope to see you there.

What a great day of flying 
Thank you to everyone who took part!
I only got a few chances to take screenshots, but I hope the rest of you will post whatever images or video you have in this thread.
Mass jump after the 19:00 event.
Last practice of the day. How tight can you make a formation with both fighters and Belugas while roling and turning?

Anyone has a video of the mass jump?
It was a great event, thanks to everyone who participated.
Unfortunately the mass jump is not included in Dr.Nagis Video. I think it was a great finish to what we have experienced.

Ahrg, the alarm I had set to wake me up (2 am my time) didn't go off or it didn't wake me up. Which of course made me miss the event, though I am happy to see that there was still enough people to have a good time.
Im sorry and actually gutted i missed this, i was traveling back from France after a skiing trip and the plane was delayed so didnt get in until 2100 on saturday
There is another chance sunday 17th feb

Is there a sign up post?
Nope, this time we go all out and try to get as many people as FDev lets us!
... but there is a post with info about it here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/477043-WP5-Event-Grand-Formation
I have a question, I hope it's not stupid.
In last weekends session and also in your "non required reading" notes you mention the grand formation performing a roll.
Does the formation roll as a unit about its longitudinal centre axis (very difficult I think), or does each ship roll about its own axis.
I hope I made my question clear.
It is a good question - and important too
Each ship roll on its own axis.
Having the entire formation roll along its common axis would require a lot more practice than we will be doing here.
