I’m part of an aerobatics team, and for the past three months we’ve been dealing with massive aircraft desync issues that make close formation flying basically impossible. On my screen, I’ll be flying echelon left about 10 meters off the lead’s wing, but on the lead’s screen I’m either in front of him or straight-up touching his wing. This isn’t just a lead issue every single member of the team has this problem.
It’s not just us either. Every aerobatics team we’ve talked to is dealing with the exact same thing. Every lobby we get into is 150+ ping, and once we’re in formation, half the team is in completely different positions on each other’s screens. We end up flying through each other and wrecking formations without even trying to.
This has been going on for three months now, and it’s honestly frustrating and throwing everyone off. If you can, PLEASE look into your servers or whatever backend is causing this, because it’s completely breaking formation flying.
