@Ziheng Not at the moment. I started college last week so I have a lot less time available, and I'm already working on two other projects (and acquiring reference material for a third).
Generally the simplest option is to just manually connect the separate planes together, usually by adding a connection from wingtip to wingtip. It doesn't fly well or look very realistic, but it's the simplest option.
You can also use a more complicated system involving rotators. It's a little tricky to explain, but this build uses it with pretty great results.
The third option is to contact your local Funky Trees wizard representative and ask them how to make a fancy automatic control system that keeps formation with the player-controlled lead plane. To my knowledge this has never been done, but after seeing this, it theoretically should be possible.
Alternatively you can just not connect them at all, which can be funny to watch but isn't really all that practical for actually maintaining formation.
Edit: In theory, you could try connecting the planes with winches or something, to allow for some freedom of movement while still keeping them in somewhat close proximity. I have not tried this idea and it probably has several issues.
Oh hey I played FD for about a month after it first launched. Pretty good game (obviously still in-progress but quite enjoyable), but I stopped playing for about three weeks and now I'm not good at it anymore.
@OrdinaryTankBuilder The custom control surfaces have small wings in them that angle when the hinge rotator moves, so it functions more like a real wing. No default control surfaces necessary!
Actually, Honda does technically have the right to take legal action as they have trademarked the design and appearance of the aircraft in addition to its logos, name, etc.
Continuing my streak of not following anyone because of how frequently I check the site anyway
+1@ZeroWithSlashedO That would be a folding wing, not a swing wing. Not the same thing.
+1@Souplane Technically yes, as long as it moves.
+1@speed72s Ask a moderator to make it a successor.

+1clamp(sum(Pitch),-1,2)Definitely tag me when you post it (whenever that ends up to be). That's awesome!
+1Time to abandon ship!
+1This is excellent!
+1I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. I've been working on other stuff for the last week or so though, so no real progress yet.
+1I use either Discord or Steam (but you need to edit the URL you get from Steam a bit, so it's a little trickier).

+1Awesome!
+1Also sometimes the lettering they want to make isn't possible with the default label fonts.
+1You wouldn't happen to have the mod that removes the turrets, would you?

Seriously though those are some great pictures! (I love the angle on that P-51 in particular)
+1I got NaN by strapping a cockpit to a cannon with XML'ed recoil once

+1Looks fantastic! (I already know it works great too!)
+1Alternatively you could try not firing all of the rocket pods at exactly the same instant.

+1I found this so much funnier than it probably should be.
Very nice.

Here's an article from 2014, when Honda went after FlightGear about it.

Fantastic plane!
Also, I just noticed that the performance cost is exactly 3,000. Nice.
