If you are not using a local network connection, both pilots should log in on the same server to minimize the time lag. The time lag will still rather large. Therefore /sim/hitches/aerotow/tow/dist and /sim/hitches/aerotow/tow/dist-time-lag-corrected differ significantly (the second value is the estimated dist, the other pilot is seeing right now).

If you fail to tow the two aircraft, both of you should restart (not reset) flightgear. There is a bug in the path cache of the property tree, which sometimes causes this behavior.
