I'm experimenting with the Hadrian and Horsa gliders and using Dakota and SG Halifax as tows. Everything working fine, but can't seem to find any way of releasing the tow so that the glider can glide on to land independently (ie the tow aircraft presumably either disappearing or flying off). Anybody got this to happen, or is it just a no-go?

Hi C,
Unfortunately no, you would have to make the glider as a 'weapon', which would then be carried and 'dropped' by the main ac as ordnance. It wouldn't be difficult to make your glider as a weapons bgl, You would have to play around with getting the parameters of your glider/weapon, but I think it would be very difficult to simulate a glider flight path. Also, even though you could make the weapon/glider so it doesn't explode, it will disappear when it hits the ground.

Mark explains it well.
There is a Horsa & a Hardian glider weapon.
They are added as payload (as well as a tow rope object) through the DP.
But they are "bombs" & when released, drop as though they are bombs, & explode when they hit the ground.
If you're adding a tow plane to your glider aircraft dp, I don't know of any method for separating/making the towplane disappear...

Glider for stock C-47 or OH C-47.zip
I think I got this Glider from Netwings before its loss. I do not know who made it but it is worth preserving. All need files are in each folder to add a Glider to the stock or The B-24 Guy's Overhual C-47. Submitted by NMG
