My guild is a small guild of about 12 people. We're into the whole clonetrooper thing, so we have 4 ARC-170's for space, 3 to a fighter. I am the leader of this guild, and so usually i fly in front, but i was wondering if there is a way for me to set the formation of our 4 fighters? I am kinda new to JTL so i dont really know the hotkeys, or options. If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, you call out "Echelon Left" or "Line Abrest" over the radio


No hotkeys or any other way to put your group into a formation. Have to train them to do it themselves.

Formation flying button was actually in JTL beta but due to the fact it didn't really work well it was dropped. Your just going to have to wing it..no pun intended.


The best way I have found to fly formation is to just use the POV hat button on my flight stick,..look left and right to make sure I am level with my wing men.

I was thinking the other day that it would be great if there was an additional hud function that shows you a 3D representation of the ships immediately in your vicinity. This would aid in getting into formations because you could use this hud to visually line up with each other.
