Hi there, I have just started trying Winging up after 3 years of playing.
After a couple of hours and reading guides and watching videos we just about got the Nav lock & syncronised supercruise working but not quite as we expected and I've got a couple of questions.
So we followed what seems to be the recommended setup.
-Both in same instance.
-Both in Wing.
-Leader has Wing Beacon on.
-Follower has Nav lock on leader.
-Leader charges SC and enters SC
-Followers SC automatically starts charging and throttles up to engage SC.
At this point we were expecting the follower to be tied/slaved to the leader, as in their ship automatically follows the wake of the leader without any contoller input (the wiki guide states this is one of the effects/benefits of Nav lock) but we could not get it to do this. Is this a feature? Are we doing something wrong?
Also, is the Wing Beacon actually required for synced waking to occour?
My other question on this is about Hyperspace jumping with Wing Nav lock: With two ships of differing jump range (the bigger range being the leader in this scenario) I am assuming the synced jump range is limited to the smaller jump range of the following ship?
There is little clear/concise information on this wing feature, was really struggling with it, any help much appreciated.
