Hi Esmiol,

With gliders, you need to plot the tow plane mission. Once you have done that you select the glider to be attached to the tow plane in the same way that you select an escort flight to be attached to a bomber.

1. Select tow plane
2. Plot tow plane waypoints. Use a GATTACK point to indicate release of the glider. Gliders have a glide angle of roughly 1:15, so if you release from 1 km up, you should release 10-15 km short of your intended glider landing location.
3. Finalize tow plane waypoints.
4. Look at the escort pull-down. It will allow you to select from any gliders stationed at the same airbase. Choose your glider.
5. Commit mission.

Cheers,
