Does anybody know of a simulator that would show a cockpit view from a glider while on air tow behind a tow plane?

A start might be a pair of power planes, in formation, in tandem. Where the lead plane flys a predescribed pattern.

I think the new FSOne may offer that capability. Take a look at some of the current threads on this group and you should see some info on it.

Yeah, I'm sure the FS One will have that feature...because it's only the BEST RC FLIGHT SIMULATOR EVER CREATED!!! ^.^

And you know this because you're sitting at your computer and playing it
right now? I'll wait til it's actually out to make a judgement.

^.^ Hehe...Yeah! No, but still I have faith in it...I really think that this is going to be a very successful simulator!

Not sure if you mean a R/C sim or just any sim. I have Condor (1:1 scale saliplanes) and it does that.

That might work. There really should be little difference in the sight picture. What would make a considerable difference is the control input methods and response. I'll do a search for Condor.
