Suggestion to devs on a glider expansion pack

SO happy you guys have expanded into gliders, however gliding is by and large an affordable, club level activity where most people are unlikely to be flying the high performance 6-figure gliders in the sim so far. So with that in mind I have a suggestion that would be tailor made to your average real life glider pilot:

-Couple of club level/training gliders, such as a Grob G103, Blanik L23 etc

-Cub/Husky tow plane, user definable tow speed, as well as randomized simulated cable brake activities

-Multiplayer towing (glider pilot and tow pilot) - this has been available for ages using Kinetic Assistant so can’t be that tricky to add, but is pretty janky being 3rd party

-Partner with the SSA (or other equivalent society) to introduce their standardized gliding awards as unassisted soaring time length challenges. Online leaderboards and community challenges obviously would be a natural fit

Sell the pack for a modest charge, or see if the SSA/BSA/etc would fund development, seeing as they have funds intended to further the awareness of the sport and I can’t think of a better opportunity frankly.
