Mark V Special Ops
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.
Remake this with new parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
Every time I release the dinghy everything runs out of gas?
Amazing! You Nailed that SH*T
