my hat is off to you, phh. it's refreshing to see a video which illustrates the difficulty of the tasks like flying formation, instead of the videos which show the result of hours of practice and make the task seem simple. glad to have found your channel.
The whole campaign is brutal on the tolerances, but it sure teaches you plenty! This exercise in particular is terrible! :D You are supposed to get _much_ closer than that and to _stay_ there... which is horribly difficult with the abrupt way the AI makes its turns... Reflected did everything he could to mellow out those turns, but it's still incredibly hard to follow. I got Unsat and Below Average a number of times before I finally managed an Average and moved on. I think the Cruise Formation one is even worse, because the manoeuvres are much more abrupt! Anyway, keep at it and please share more! It's very fun and interesting to see how everyone gets on with this beast of a campaign!
With my TrackIR, I repeated the formation tasks until I got average scores and then moved on. I found the maneuvers, rejoins, and even the aerial refueling much more obtainable and got above average. I'll probably get VR sometime after multithreading is introduced; maybe that will help.
It's all part of the program, Paco advised me to get closer still. That's the next step to practice it's definitely trickery with an AI pilot though, there's no forgiveness or mutual aide.

yeah, it's a process...not an overnight success.

Would love to see a campaign like this for the Hornet.
It's coming...

Yeah, the rejoin is fun. Paco advised me to get closer..."Clarice."
You were very unlucky - you were told that you were too far away and to move closer... 2 seconds later he turns in towards you.

Reflected doesn't play games.
Not on this one, and I love it.
