I almost bought Air Wrench from there to help with making a good AIR (FDE) file for the addon aircraft I was attempting to make. :o

I don't recall seeing that formation flying program though (Last update: �2 December 2008).

I bought the Air Wench program and had a hard time getting the zero Lift Drag to get settings that allowed the planes to fly right. Does allow you to see how different settings effect the flight dymanics. Looks like this program is a trick of the AI aircraft like taking FS Recorder files and using them as AI Traffic.

I have been using it for a while - very good with the Weapons pack as you can set up to 4 target aircraft to pick off one at a time...

I guess if you want your target to fight back, you have to play on multiplayer?

How does that work guys, I have been thinking of buying the Weapon, can you shoot your friends down online?

Weapon for FSX doesn't work very well in multiplayer (I've never tried it myself though). I saw a post where someone said that when they fired the guns, or rockets, in multiplayer, the other people in the session saw the bullets/missiles as helicopters. ;D It made me laugh when I saw it (the post), but I really would like to see multiplayer capability added to it. :-/

That's funny ;D Too bad, it would give mulitplayer sessions a neat "dog fight" edge.

I would love to get online a do some "dog fighting", but I fear I would get my "you know what" kicked if I did. �:D ;D

Does it have to be freeware? I use the Aero__ F-16 and I would love to be forever alone and formation fly by myself since I can't find anyone to fly with me, plus it'd be good training since I;ve never done any formation flying at all

Should be fine for flying online in any addon as long as you aren't trying to share the cockpit. I just like flying around. I don't mind following, but I don't do formation flying. :-[
