Hi all,

For those who love gliding in FSX, I have recently discovered an excellent little freeware (but still in Beta) module nammed Aerotow.
This module allows you to:
- choose any of your aircrafts as a towing plane
- predefine a generic flight path (right or left loops, starting a this or this altitude etc...) so that the towing aircraft remains above the airfield. 8-)
- tell the towing aircraft to follow the VFR flight plan you have defined !

Can we see a shot of you being towed by a Fighter jet? Or how about the An-225 ;D! That is really cool ;)! Gonna have to try this one, thanks for the HU! :)

You can do it, but because of the overspeed (a jet is too fast for a glider), the cable will break very soon ;)
