I'm quite familiar with the opposite end of the rope and I'm well aware
of the deficiencies of aerotowing in FlightGear. Anyhow as far as I
understand there'll be no "solution" as long as MP aircraft are being
fed into each others FG instances they way they are now via the AI
stack without strict time sync.
There might be a "workaround" by adding some more damping to the bungee
rope, but given the fact that every MP scenario is affected by
different latencies, I'm sure there's no way to get the best for all
with the same rope parameters.

Which motor aircraft do you use for towing ? Given the above figures I
suspect you're using the Piper Cub, right ? Did you ever try the Grob
G115 ? I've never flown that one, neither in RL nor in FG, but I
*guess* it's probably the closest in performance and FDM credibiliy to
commonly used towing aircraft.
Cheers,
Martin.
