In-game flight creation

[vincini]

My idea is to have an option in any multiplayer server to create or join a flight. A player could create a flight, designate a target for it, and then other players can see it listed and join it. What this would do is create a formation for players to spawn together and know exactly what their objective is. There could even be a third chat option that you can send direct messages to only the flight.

 

I visualize this system similar to the coop briefing screen in the original IL2 1946. Players select their flight and then plane. Once everyone hits ready, the flight leader spawns everyone in.

 

I believe this system would engage players to interact with each other more and keep the battlefield more interesting.
