I think this should work regardless of the device you use, but I could be mistaken.

You will first need to upload a video to YouTube. Then go to the Videos tab on the SP website, and click on the button that says Create at the top of the page. Copy the video URL into the correct field, and give your video a title. The rest of the information can be found on the video upload page.
@AnOmalOcaris Right. However, if the throttle input goes beyond the RPM limit, then throttle governor prevents any further power being applied to the engine, regardless of how high the throttle input is.
I have a ducted fan engine that doesn't really increase power after 50% throttle, because it reaches the RPM limit.
You might try having the propeller's throttle input be an activation group, and have the pitch mode set to Manual with throttle governor enabled, and then put Throttle as your propeller pitch input. This way, instead of directly increasing the power by throttle, the engine is always either on or off, and thrust is changed by changing the propeller pitch. Higher propeller pitch works good at higher altitudes where the air is thinner.
I suppose in a way, this changes the engines efficiency manually with the throttle.
The problem with propeller engines is that they are limited by their maximum RPM. Increasing the input alone may not be enough to actually change the performance of the engine.
You will most likely need to change the maxRPM value.
You could bypass the throttle governor, but then you have to deal with potential prop overspeed.
I don't think it's possible to change gauge faces without extensive modification. The closest you will get is making a digital flight display using the text label part.
@YEEEETplane Yes. Connecting a rocket to a detacher and then activating the detacher will fire the rocket, but if you do not want the rocket to fly off after activation, connect the rocket to the detacher and another part of your aircraft.

Setting this to some ridiculously large value such as 9999999999 will keep it from exploding for about 317 years (at 9999999999 seconds).
You can angle the main rotor a few degrees forward, or add a rotator to manually rotate it.
You could also add a rotator to the base of the tail rotor, so that it can be angled backwards after enough forward speed is gained (assuming you have a vertical stabilizer). A V-STAB should mostly counteract torque from the main rotor if you're going fast enough.
Is it single-rotor or dual-rotor?
If it's single-rotor, it needs a tail rotor. Though this may not completely stop the spinning. Your main rotor may also be spinning in the wrong direction.
@ThereIsNoahScape Hmm. I think discord works for this as well (if you have discord).
Other than that, I don't have another solution.
You might try searching the website for answers.
@ZeroWithSlashedO You wouldn't be entirely incorrect...
It is based on the X-29.
The next VSRA is going to based on the X-31.
However, it isn't a replica.
@CalebRepublic That's one way of doing it. Personally though, I prefer XML modifying the size of the stock jet engines, and putting them in a fuselage shell.
The sound, prop-blur effect, and RPM limitations of using propellers as jets is rather annoying.
But it works fine as a ducted-fan engine in this scenario, and it can be used in the WW2 challenges and propeller-only races.
@Aviator01 I might try that for a jet afterburner in the future.
However, since this is a ducted-fan engine and technically not a jet engine, I most likely won't add exhaust.
Thanks for the suggestion!

@GrandmasterPotato That's probably the reason.
In my experience, resizable wheels drift at high speeds.
You may need to change some traction settings.
@GrandmasterPotato Does the aircraft use custom landing gear with resizable wheels?
@Usatiger Try reversing the spin direction of the main rotor.
@GildedCroissant Thanks!

If it's single-rotor, it needs a tail rotor. Though this may not completely stop the spinning. Your main rotor may also be spinning in the wrong direction.

+1Try using postimages.org. If it still doesn't work, try reuploading the images under a different URL.
You could try replacing the tail rotor yaw input with
+1Yaw-(YawRate*0.05).You may need to change the number for more or less sensitivity.
