Glider with Tow Plane

52.3k Ahtzee  8.9 years ago

You control both the tow plane and the glider! Tow the glider to a safe height and press "1" to release the glider to fly silently through the skies. Because it has no motor, you have one chance only to perfect your safe landing on a runway or hard, smooth surface.

    Well, The F4U and the Glider have one thing in Common;
    When you Lose your Engine or Source of speed,
    YOU BETTER FIND A PLACE OR LAND!

    I hope this comes with a:

    Side Slipping

    It is a common word for Gliders not almost heard in Commercial Planes.

    The purpose of Side slipping is to Descent Quickly without Quickly Gaining Speed or Losing Speed.

    The controls is simple:
    Push the Ailerons Left, Push the Rudder Right. Or Ailerons Right, Rudder Left.

    My hope is too low since Jundroo Simple Planes physics is not made for things like this.
