How do you get a glider recognised as a glider in x-plane 11?

Question

I have just downloaded Antares_20E. It says to put it in the Aircraft/Gliders folder, but there doesn't seem to be such a folder. Hence it doesn't come up as a Glider with the ASK21 so I have not been able to use it on aero tow.

It flies very nicely when self launched.

Answer 1

You designate it as a glider in PlaneMaker... when you design the aircraft

I assume that means the original creator must do so. I have tried it in x-plane 10 and used aero tow. I'll have to be content to self launch in x-plane 11.

I assumed incorrectly. I have been able to use PlaneMaker and now have my Antares 20Eas a glider in x-plane 11.

Many thanks for your help.
