Hey ive been wondering why the glider is just slumped on the runway in FS, is there anyway to get it in the air without swapping planes in mid air?
Thanks,
Marc

Or you can get the DSB designs Grob Viking which has an automatic winch launch - I can't remember how it works but it will say on the Readme and I got it on a free CD so I can't tell you where it is, so happy hunting!

you could always go online, get behind someone as they are taking off or ask them to takeoff, keep pressing ctrl + t until you find their name in red on top right then press and hold ctrl + f, normally if you press it you jump behind them but if you hold it, you remain behind them, so effectivly you are getting towed up. then just let go when you want to glide down. Doing it this way does stop you from writing in the text box, so use teamspeak or tell them what to do before hand
