Wing Missions Sync?
So supposedly when you join a wing, the missions on the board are supposed to sync with each wing member so you all see the same ones (normal missions, not actual wing missions), the only difference is the reward amount due to reputation as far as I understand.

For whatever reason my friends and I are not seeing this, we don't seem to be syncing up. We have tried to wing up when we are docked at the same station, we have tried winging up when not docked but in the same area of the station, but nothing is syncing.

EDIT: The only thing I can think of is that I have my Commander from some years ago, but my ranks are just the first one above the starter.

Everyone gets offered different missions even at the same station, the mission boards don't sync between players.

Hmm, in my experience the same missions do show up when we are docked at the same station. Makes it easy for us to pick and choose the (wing) missions we want to do.

Maybe YMMV as always.

I remember the last I played with a friend, normal missions (not wing missions) synced when you joined a wing so you could essentially do the same missions together. I.E, transport cargo to the same system, same station, just different reward amounts.

Not wing missions that requires a couple hundred things transported/targets killed in one session.

Wing missions are picked up by one player and then shared with the wing, so only one player needs to even see them (ideally the one who sees the best rewards).

Generally, the mission board at any one station should be using the same pool for all players, but each player will see filtering and scaling based on their own status (Elite ranks, reputation, etc.). I'm not aware of that being affected by being in a wing.

I know how actual wing missions work, that isn't the issue for us. It's just the normal missions on the mission board aren't actually the same for us all.

We had one instance where two of the three of us had the same mission, same objective and the same destination to take it to, only we had differing reward prices due to reputation and rank.

Ultimately we want to actually be able to play together y doing the normal missions from the mission board without needing to do a wing mission as they are a bit OTT for new players to do, especially when you have to do them in one session.

What we are going to try is clearing our saves as we all started at different times (I actually started playing some years ago but didn't get very far at all, only had a few hours), we aren't that much bothered about losing what we have as we haven't really played much to get anything worth saving. We are also playing in a Private Group Session, if anything we thought that would help more in the way of having the same missions on the mission board.
