Towrope Strength

Postby ApplePie » Sun Sep 05, 2010 10:09 am

Is there a way to increase the strength of the towrope?

I don't know the answer but, I can't help wondering what you plan on towing :-?

I don't know about a Tow Rope....

You can increase the strength of water, by adding Bell's Scotch Whiskey to it...

I don't see any need to increase the strength of the tow rope unless you plan on towing a 747.  :o ;D

Does it actually need to be stronger? Did you test it?

It's not what I'm planning on towing, it's what I plan on towing me (e.g. Space Shuttle Atlantis). ;D

Maybe if you had Atlantis accelerate slowly... like say, have an SR-71 tow the spaceshuttle and you up to Mach 4 or so and get up to 100,000 feet, then ignite the rockets. ;D

Of course this relys on some crazy reprogramming of Flight Simulator.
