Today we are happy to release the last planned feature of Kinetic Assistant – Aerotow! This is a present for all glider pilots as towing brings MSFS soaring to a completely new level. Now you can ask your friend to deliver you into the air, or take a tug role by yourself. You always can be attached to the AI aircraft as well, so it will be a good idea to put the AI plane as a tow-taxi into your favorite gliding airport and train your skills without limits.
Thermals improved as well – now you will experience smooth airflow conditions inside of the thermals, even if they are not part of the weather system.
And last – all Assistant features carefully tested with only fully working and freeware glider add-on for MSFS – DG Flugzeugbau DG-808S.
Please check description carefully, as many things was changed.
Don’t forget it is opensource, so feel free to make some experiments and share you results.
Time to soar!
2 feedbacks on Great Kinetic Assistant update!
I’m still clumsy, but I can’t establish controls other than those exposed with the program and that have to do with the lights of the plane.
Can someone explain it to me?
Thank you
Hello! Controls are pretty simple, you just need to make it work once and you will get the idea. Example for the winch (not sure which feature you need, you can choose any available button):
1. Pres CTRL icon near to Attach Winch button
2. Choose LIGHT TAXI
3. Find Taxi Light even in controls settings of MSFS (ALT+J by default)
4. Press ALT+J twice while you are in the game with half second interval (not too fast). If parking brakes was engaged, winch cable will be connected
