Aerotow in MP

Dimus

SOH-CM-2025
I just discovered this wonderful tool and managed to make it work offline by having the towplane follow a flight plan.

When I tried the same flight online the tow plane started but the glider stayed stationary while its airspeed dial showed increasing speed.

When not using Aerotow, gliders and towplanes work fine in MP but just fly a constant heading. Following a flight plan would work great for a group flying a bunch of Horsas to cross the channel and land by Pegasus bridge.

Anyone tried using this tool in MP?
 
Anyone?

Well, I found an alternative way but not so realistic. Have to start in Cherburg and just aim the towplane towards the release point between Caen and the beach 6 miles west of the bridge. Not realistic but at least we will get to do the last "Deadstick" part.
