Use SLEW mode...Press "Y' key and then "F4" to gain altitude...when you're high enough press Y again to go back to flying...

One way is to slew.
hit Y (slew mode) & Q (up) then when you get to your required height (3000AGL  may be ideal) hit Y again to disengage slew mode. - now you'll stall so pull pack on the stick as you drop  - you'll have gained speed & will be flying!

Enjoy!

Sit on the runway, crank up the winds to a 80kt headwind.

Rob Barandregt just released a gauge to do it. It simulates a tow.

It uses Slew mode, but does it in a far more visually realistic way than just whipping the glider up there.

Just do a search using his name or the word cable.

those..  This "hook on" feature doesn't work offline and with AI..

But of course, you must have permission, and they must know about it before you "hook on" and fly the glider.



I gots to find a way to do that to Ozzy in Combat Flight Sim! Hook onto the back end of his Spit with my Mustang. Heheh!  ;D ;D ;D
