It's taken a long time to make, and there was probably more I wanted to do to it but really didn't want to wait any longer to release something for all to use. Instructions as follows:

1. Start in the water, obviously!
2. Use VTOL down to stow dinghy into the correct position.
3. To control the main craft use Throttle to go forward, Brake to reverse and Roll to steer.
4. For the dinghy challenge use activation group 1 to eject the dinghy into the sea. (Note the cockpit is in the dinghy, so don't lose sight of your main craft)
5. Use VTOL up to accelerate dinghy and Yaw to steer dinghy.
6. Line up the dinghy with the back end of the main craft and land that sucker!

Note: Best done while the main craft is at about 50% throttle and the dinghy at full.

The dingy is a little finicky in control because I had to minimise it's abilities when moving fast, hence the really poor control at low speeds, and it's sometimes ability to be difficult to manoeuvre.

Don't forget to keep an eye on your main craft whilst doing the challenge, and to repeat, just restart. There isn't a mechanism to push the craft back off again and restart (an extra feature I would have liked to have eventually added).

As always, have fun.

    I remember downloading this and was so impressed with it. I think I forgot to upvote it. Or was that when planes were rated? I can't remember :P

    I would have upvoted it as soon as it came out, but I wasn't active back then. I got here by stumbling upon its successor.

    I guess you need to put the cockpit on the main boat, and maybe some fuel and a prop on the small boat to replace the thrusters. @nrpi314

    How do I fix that? @Authros

    That's a result of the game changing and each independent part requires it's own fuel and propulsion. @nrpi314

    @JMicah4 I assume you mean getting them like the railings on this boat. You should be able to steal them straight off for reuse, but basically I have made them this thin by changing the root and tip leading and trailing values to 0.05. This is the same as the thickness of the wing so they appear rectangular. You can reduce the values to near 0 for thiner, but there will always be an edge 0.05 thick.

    @Loliview It's the great thing about this game, it has evolved and it's not just planes, it can be anything you want it to be within the limits of the game. Once I'm done making a couple more boats I will make some helicopters. I already have half an Apache in my list of builds.

    @WeeBabySeamus No, you can't have that...stop asking me for stuff! Only joking of course, you can have a glimpse as you're not the only one who has asked for one of these, but I now need to charge my phone before building any more of it. https://www.kamcord.com/v/YWFdW4w7qa5
