CF 2.0, Single Player, Formation Flying exclusion

When I lock up a flyer (NPC whatever) and attempt to fly formation with them it doesn't work. It did work, but not anymore. Any ideas? Thanks.

In some parts of the storyline this feature is disabled.

Thanks. I'm actually flying post campaign, but I assume the disabling is maybe location based?

Oh! I'm in Altair Sector, Tomsk System. There's Coalition and Dom'Kavash here ……… I'll go and try again …….. Doesn't it always happen. Working perfectly now! Even with the Dom'Kavash! Its only when I've exposed myself (that stupid wombat again) at the forum, that this happens. Are well, gives somebody a laugh …..

Thanks OP.

maybe it bugs out when you try to go in formation with an NPC that encounters is hostile to a faction you are friendly with.... i dont know but... it might be.

Ye ……. could have been. It certainly happen. I wasn't dreaming it. I'll see if it happens again and be more observant of conditions under which it occurs.
