can someone explain how to make an he-111z towing a me-321 takeoff without letting go of the glider. i can get the he-111z to tow it when i start them in the air, but when i start them on the ground, the he-111z lets go of the glider as soon as it gets off the ground. i have the he-111z set to go across the map not just to takeoff. plz help.

before the patch came out i was writing a mission which had many gliders taking-off and being dropped and it worked OK...
since the patch the gliders (G1 ) are released very soon after take-off......... they seem to climb much faster than the towing aircraft (Li2) and after release continue to climb in swoops and climbs until they reach a very great height
i have posted this bug to the appropriate e-mail

ive found a workaround. what u need todo is set the aircraft to takeoff, then set it back to normal flight. the plane will still take off from the ground but wont cut the rope http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
