I am new to this thread / Infinite Flight. I want to get with a group to conduct these operations (air-to-air, and formation flight, etc.). Any help?

KC- 10 ORCA 4 will be up in a few days North of Nellis.
I’ll post the Anchor and track 24 hours before the mission.

I have to ferry out from Tyndall first.

I’m going to try to stay in that area for several days consecutively

thanks.

Hi! Welcome to the community! I would recommend that you check IFAE- Global Air Forces | Year of our Pilots! | Official 2022 thread, it is a virtual airline that you can join if you want to fly with other fellow military flight simmers (check their requirements to join such as grade level, flight time, etc).

Since you are new to the community, I would also recommend that you take a look at this: Guide to the Community, so that you can know all of the rules for posting, commenting, etc.

Other than that, if you ever want to do any formation flying, I am always up for a group flight! I am super active on the #screenshots-and-videos category (just started up again recently), so I would be more than happy to try out some group flights with different aircraft! If you have any questions, feel free to DM me, or any other members or regulars for assistance! Welcome again!

Yes…Figured out the general idea. You may already know most of it.

To convert to use in IF is a matter of interpretation.
I have found some of the fixes don’t exist in IF.

So its a matter of a little artistic liberty for our virtual world. lol

It also has training routes not just AAR’s.

It will take awhile to document some as IF routes.
but I’ll get on !

Its almost 500 pages, the AAR routes alone are over 600 as far as I can tell. So I won’t be printing it out.

What it leaves all of us here at IFC is the need for more Military Airfields/Bases in 3D ! Not hundreds but a dozen or so key installations. I can’t apply to make any now I’m battling the big “C” unfortunately.
Its a challenge just to fly now.

Thanks
