Yes, the spot offset is about consistent with the update lag I think. I tried to compensate with the missile and they end up spawning about a quarter mile ahead. I feel like if I add a little deployment animation to the wingman, doors open, a flash and some vapor trail effect, then the missile pops onto the vfr window a quarter mile ahead after radar acquires it, might be acceptable, especially if it goes on to make some random AI aircraft blink out.
For the X-15, the solution is pretty straightforward, the launch configuration will be quite specific, you could rig it so it only deploys at the specific speed that has been calculated with the proper offset to spawn the B-52 in the mesh footprint of the attached B-52 and any slight separation could possibly be perceived as a consequence of disconnection.
I think the X-15 would have to be flown by the test pilot station. I'm not opposed to including multiple cockpits that could possibly be organized with camera views, but it's not something I've explored at all and the addon wouldn't really be about B-52. I mean, realistically, test pilot is sitting on his butt reviewing checklists until deployment, but I think the most important thing missing from a standalone X-15 would be the view dropping out from under the B-52 and then accelerating as the bomber falls away and also the view of the same scene from the bomber. You could make the skin glow like Darkstar and possibly reverse the effect to simulate the LOX tanks.
