Yes, tagging someone on an unlisted build is also a good way of sending something (e.g. a work-in-progress build) to someone else so they can tinker with it.
Maybe try disabling collisions on the inlet that the winch is inside? Could be that the drogue is getting clipped into that and disconnected since the inlets don't have a hole in their hitboxes.
Blueprints, fuselage slicing, and an understanding of how to combine multiple parts of different shapes to produce more complex structures (see the official Sea Plane for an example of the latter two).
Use cannons (the CIWS lasers can't target cannon shells)
Get closer (releasing weapons later means the CIWS has less time to lock and destroy them)
Use more (If you fire like 12 missiles you might be able to overwhelm the CIWS since it can only target one at a time and takes a few seconds for each missile)
However, the most effective option is probably to just fly around behind the base and drop a bomb or two as you pass over it, since you'll be out of view of both the launchers and the CIWS.
Does this mean that there won't be a SimplePlanes 2? Absolutely not, I have no idea what the folks at Jundroo are planning (the last time I talked to any of them directly was a bug report email chain in 2021). This is just my opinion, and I'd like to hear what y'all have to say on the subject!
Seriously though, that looks awesome! Is it based on a real-world type? I don't know of any 4-14-4s off the top of my head but it's clearly Russian so it wouldn't surprise me.
SimplePlanes is good for getting a general understanding of not only the really basic stuff ("how wings work", etc.) but also for some of the more nuanced things (how CoM and CoL need to be positioned relative to each other for different degrees of stability, etc.). That being said, it's not a flight sim, and will not give you the kind of in-depth simulation experience that would be necessary.
MSFS/FSX/X-Plane are all very good options, but if you're looking for something free, I'd recommend FlightGear (it can be a little more tedious with installing it and the graphics/performance are not eye candy by any means, but the simulation element is about as close as you're going to get for quite a few different aircraft types). Even something like GeoFS can be good for getting a feel for basic "realistic" physics, but you're not going to get that from any sort of mobile game.
I have no idea how you did that with the main rotor (I can only assume some label manipulation), but it looks amazing! The entire build is top-notch, as a matter of fact. Awesome work!
SPVR is technically a different game since it doesn't have the builder/designer function (and has a very different interface), and regular SimplePlanes doesn't have VR support, so you do need both for the full experience.
If you don't plan on building or modifying any planes (or doing other non-VR things) and you just want to fly them in VR, I think you don't actually need normal SP, but I'm not certain.

@Firgreen Awesome, thanks! Looks and works great!
@PannerTerkins I don't know, but it's been gone for a long time.

@V wonderful, soon I shall receive the collective brain cell

only EA can market a new game as a bugfix for the previous one
@keechmyth Update 1.12.200 was the last update for SimplePlanes, aside from fixes for critical bugs if they pop up in the future.

YOUR CAPS LOCK IS BROKEN
There's quite a few viable methods:

Woo!
@jamesPLANESii james no
I don't believe that a flight game called "Aviation Game" supports flight sticks.

I made a clock with a digital timer that does this; feel free to pull from my code if you want.

core memory unlocked
(seriously; it has been so long since I last saw this plane)
Increase the mass of the wheels (and maybe stiffen the suspension).
I have no idea how you did that with the main rotor (I can only assume some label manipulation), but it looks amazing! The entire build is top-notch, as a matter of fact. Awesome work!
Hmm... maybe I should learn to mod too. That'd be fun.
Good news
I've figured out half of it (no seriously I did and it works pretty well)
SPVR is technically a different game since it doesn't have the builder/designer function (and has a very different interface), and regular SimplePlanes doesn't have VR support, so you do need both for the full experience.
If you don't plan on building or modifying any planes (or doing other non-VR things) and you just want to fly them in VR, I think you don't actually need normal SP, but I'm not certain.
What if you made it so it activates the jet if the distance from the target is increasing?
Oh man, it's almost like paying someone to write your essay for you isn't multiple policy and academic integrity violations!
Oh wait.
I checked it out a few years ago but I don't have the hardware to run any builds of a decent size so I refunded it. Does look fun though.
@DaddysTruck1234 Man... what'd they do to you?
