I was at Kemble airshow and threre was a display featuring an Extra 300S towing a glider whilst both did aerobatics conjoined...well I was wandering, is there anyway to make a) the tow rope unbreakable and b) the tow plane a Extra 300s.

Thanks

Wow....... Your not asking for much, I doubt either are possible, but then I've been proved wrong before, sit tight and check back in often, someone my have a positive answer to your question.

a) Can't that be done in the realism settings?

This is what I came up with. First thing I don't know if it's possible to make the tow rope unbreakable. These could answer your other questions.- Search the following on google or other seach engines.

Change Tow-Plane in FSX (tutchtwp.zip)

Flying banked turns with Tow-Plane in FSX (tut_twpl.zip).

Customise_towplane (tut_cutp.zip)

All the above zips are available at FS2000. www.fs2000.org

Or here. http://www.fs2000.org/last/display_search.asp They are there, but it will take awhile to find. Plus some other goodies for FSX.

I cant open the sim1.dll to edit correctly...any help?

Unfortunately, DLLs are compiled and not human-readable in the slightest.
However, you can try this link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_open_.dll_files_to_see_what_is_written_inside

There are also payware programs that you can get to open and edit any and all .dll's, as well as .exe files.

Right, I edited it as required, but it wouldn't work - so i had to give up Sad

. If someone could have a look and see if they could do it, I would be VERY greatful.

Thanks

Did you get the demo or did you pay for it???

If you got the demo, then no, you cannot edit it.

You also didn't say what you had or used. That would help out alot.

Right. I have paid for FSX (deuluxe).

And edited the maule (i think its 5th on the list) I then changed it as said in the instructions, and then it just didn't change the towplane.

There, thanks.
