@thecope125 - I edited the fsx.cfg file and added the following two lines to the [SIM] section...
TowPlaneTitle=TowPlane_DROMEDAR
TowPlaneClimbPitch=-10
The TowPlaneTitle is the aircraft you want to do the towing. Also, I saw that you were wondering what TrackIR was. If you are limited on what you can spend on such a device, try FaceTrackNoIR or FreeTrack (both FREE). I use FaceTrackNoIR now, but FreeTrack works with better precision.
@thecope125 - I'm not at home right now to give you exactly where it is, but you have got to have your computer show hidden files so you can find it. But, I believe it is in the C:\ Users\YOUR_SIGN_IN_NAME\AppData\Microsoft\FSX or C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\(Your Windows User Name)\Microsoft\FSX. But it depends on what operating system you are using.
If you're talking about the tips of the wings, I believe maybe you are correct on most gliders in real life. In the sim, only WinchX! simulates this for you. Is that what you were asking?
Hopefully I'll remember that the next time I do a video, thanks. Meanwhile, the answer to your question is in the reply comments to jakem1900 & The12rspc on this thread.
The towplane is a PZL M-18A DROMADER (FS2004 model) that I downloaded from one of the main Flight Sim sites. I added the paintscheme to it. The glider is an Astir CS with a modified VC panel.
Are you asking about the yawstring? If so, it's not downloadable for FSX/FS2004. The aircraft has to be built (the 3D model) for it I believe. But if you can get it to work on any glider as an addon, I would love to have it on others that I have.
how did you v=change the tow plane

@sf4JC yeah that's what i meant.
BTW: maybe you should give some more info about the glider your flying and the tow plane...

I do every once in a while, but haven't for this area, or I don't remember if I have. I'm pretty sure I haven't.

It's a yawstring. It tells you your yaw angle (whether you are slipping, sliding, or just right).

It's the Grob Astir CS from the SOAR website. I added the SimFlyer GPS296 myself, it can be found at FlightSimDOTcom.
