Hey, how's it goin'? I've been hovering around the website and forums for a while now, and I must say that you guys are awesome. You were my instant rolemodels! 8) Me and my bud have been trying to do a little formation flyin' on fs9. Here's our attempts :P.

Anyways I just got lock on, and have been trying to practice formation flying but I can't seem to get the speed right. I made a mission where I am to catch up with 5 other thunderbirds, the thing is that my ASI says Im going 300 knots but the map says I'm going 500. I don't get it, I always zoom by the formation.

Any help will be appreciated. :D

Great to hear from you Crow and thanks for the kind words. As far as your speed goes....ensure you using the standard units rather than metric units for airspeed (knots/kilometer per hour) cause thats what it sounds like to me. Its listed in you options menu. Nice screenshots by the way!

Fives Clear,
