Hello to all! I've only been here a short time, however, I have chatted & flown with some nice people. One of the things this game lacks is a way for multiple pilots to fly together and not keep getting shot down by point hungry flyers. Several times I have been able to fly formation and practice dogfighting with others and I'll tell you it's a blast! (And difficult!)

Here's my idea....If Zuper could set up another button on the menu to multiplayer practice it would be great. So far what we have done is to declare neutrality by typing in zzzzz to let others know that we are free flying and not dogfighting them or bombing their base/carrier, then flying to the west (left side of map) and staying out of other's way. Try landing on the mountain in the NW for a picnic...follow the leader thru the canyons on the west...etc. Put on all clouds and such and watch each other from the rear view and enjoy the work that has gone into this grand flying game. Watching someone pull an Immelman to perfection then trying to do so yourself is more satisfying than just point and shoot. And that takes less skill. I've been called an IDIOT for not wanting to dog fight all the time. However, being a REAL pilot takes skill and honor (not SPAWN SHOOTING). I believe this idea would help new folks enjoy the game and not just fly a few times and leave.

Again, alot of work goes into the production and management of this setup. Enjoy the beauty and hard work that has gone into this effort to entertain the masses. Blow the bridge (I hear it REALLY blows up now) and see if YOU are really a good pilot and can fly close to another without crashing. Enjoy the visuals of other pilots doing amazing things with their plane that you can't see during the high speed and intensity of a dog fight.

Once more, if you see some of us type in repeated zzzzz's join us or leave us alone to do our thing. If the others want to fight fine...you'll still get points and you'll improve and enjoy another aspect of the game until something can be done to add in a practice area for multiplayer formations. Sorry to go on so long, but I haven't seen any thing like this in the forums. What do YOU think? See you in the air! Fly with honor!

Just go into practice mode. There are plenty of missions which enable you to free fly.

I realize that, but you cant fly with others there and that was my desire. It worked in CFS 3. Thanks for the response...any others way to do it? I respect your opinion.

You can always post a chat message saying "Ron and Greg and I are practising. Please don't shoot us down".

I've done so more han once, and have seen others do it, and even had people respect it for a while, but then there is some point-hungry someone who will shoot you down anyway.
But, if tickled, you get angry, and then you shoot back vith a vengeance! :-)

I dont know but if thats the case then everyone would do practice missions. Because it would be easy points. And u get better faster by playing in a real match.

Currently, just by setting a time and showing up, theres no official way.

A practice mode would be cool, but it wouldnt be widely used. Once we get the ability to create our own games and choose which game we want to join, that can be used for the purpose. Until then, sorry, keep upmwhat ur doin, id reccomend fighting tho, its more fun. :)
See you in the skies!

Yeah. I've had a LOT of success when it comes to flying in formation with fellow Enigma Pilots. We just sort of join up by default. TONS of fun. Gosh. Probably my most favorite thing to do in Dogfight is fly in formation with fellow squad members.

Wait till you encounter some fellow Enigma pilots in-game Fly. They'll train you in formations. It's very fun.
