This is a project I worked on last year but I forgot to upload. It is a fully functional glider with a towing mechanism.
How to fly:
1) take off and gain altittude slowly, YOU ARE CONTROLLING ONLY THE CESSNA AT THIS POINT
2) At your desired altittude press AG1 to detach the glider and activate its control surfaces
3) stop caring about the freefalling cessna and enjoy your gliding!!!
NOTES:
1) The rope is sensitive so you need to gain altittude gradually with smooth movements!!!
2) You can control cessna's flaps using VTOL if you wnat

Imma just drop this here for anyone wanting one that isn't so god dang sensitive
@ESpanop i know man, and thanks but unfortunately thats rhe best way i found of recreating a rope, i know its not perfect. Peace
@KiVZ I'm getting that it can't work with the sharp movements of keypad control. I personally prefer using a controller but I feel like I should say you shouldn't write off a way of playing just because you think it's not as good, it's better to make anything user-friendly for as many people as possible.
I also wanna add that the chain sometimes start shaking violently and ends up causing the whole creation to explode, not sure why.
Other than that, it's a pretty cool plane/glider
@WolfiePlayzSP no problem, im glad you can use it now
@WolfiePlayzSP if you are playing in pc, are you using the keypads to take off? If yes try to use a joystick or the mouse
@WolfiePlayzSP dont forget that on take off you are flying the cessna not the glider, you need to be really smooth and gain altittude slowly so the rope doesnt explode (with the cessna as well)
@WolfiePlayzSP no problem but why?
