I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but in the old days, we used to simulate a tow plane for glider flights by making use of Ctl + Shift + F. One player would fly a tow plane and the glider pilot would would use CSF mode until they wanted to be release. What I can do for the flight on Saturday is park a 172 in orbit over the PRB VOR and we could launch off of that. What do you think?
