Found this months ago: Towplane/Winch Reminder: Both MSFS 2020 and 2024 have a known bug when launching with a towplane or winch from your chosen airfield. To avoid it, make sure ATC Enforce Flight Plan is Enabled in your Assistance Settings. This forces the towing vehicle to spawn correctly with your glider. If it’s disabled, you can get a desync between the glider and tow vehicle — the towplane may refuse to take off, veer off the runway, or the winch may even spawn behind you. This is a base-game issue, and Asobo/Microsoft are aware and working on a fix for a future update. Hope you can fix it with this.

Indeed, in version 1.39.9.0 the shutdown problem has been solved. At least for today...

Hi John, I found an old thread for MSFS 2020 on https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/gliders-start-rudder-signalling-doesnt-work/555433?page=5, saying: I also had the problem that the guy holding the wing was not there and the glider tilted to the side. Both in free flight and in the tutorials. To cut a long story short, after clearing my community directory, everything worked as expected. After 30-40 restarts and systematic searching, I found the error in an airfield I had created myself (not published). I can’t say why, but it hasn’t been updated for a while, so I’ll check that soon. For me, it was definitely not due to the Kinetic Assistant or aircraft that use it, I thought before. Gliders that use the Kinetic Assistant are launched as before. Everything is now running as expected. These are my experiences. I hope it was helpful. So, definitely empty the community folder first and then search for the directory or directories. I have proceeded systematically in alphabetical blocks. I would prefer to search for freeware (my opinion). Good luck Greetings and happy gliding Ralf (Nov 2022) Fwiw...
