@MethaManAerospace However, I learned this after I had already completed and released the Stratoglider, so it still has the rocket booster, which works very well.
@MethaManAerospace A little while ago, I learned that it is actually possible to have updrafts in Simpleplanes, by simply using the SetWindSpeed command.
Ever since then, whenever I cruise in a glider, I use updrafts to keep it in the air, and even allow the glider to gently climb. It's quite useful.
@AEGIS Here is some modified code from the Wasp: <size=100%><pos=0%>Mach: {TAS/(340-clamp((Altitude*0.003937),0,43));#0.00}
You can modify the pos value to move the text left or right.
I tried making my own indicator, but it wouldn't work properly. It seems to be that the input listed below only works for gauges.

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.
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.
@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.
@ThereIsNoahScape I could try looking into the issue.
@GildedCroissant Use the
direct linkinstead of the short link.If you can't obtain the same image, reupload and use the direct link from that image.
In what way? Is it uncontrollable, or does it just fall out of the sky, or is it another issue?

@JamesG771 No problem!
Additionally, only a few image upload websites seem to work.
I recommend using either postimages.org or Discord.
Use this:
.Let me test this.
@Craftgamer23 Great!
@Craftgamer23 No problem!
@TheGliderGuy Thanks! Hopefully I can upload another glider soon. I need to work out some issues with one of them.

@Gripen346 Ok.
I might post a tutorial forum on how to make digital flight displays soon, if that helps.

@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!
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.
