probably missing something here, but i just started this game, how do i connect the water bombing attachments to the wing of the plane?

You should make a bomb bay module

Messed with Wind Correction for the control surfaces.

removed the hack i did to prevent windmilling as the plane attempts to angle the tail surface into the wind now to mitigate it automatically.

added Yaw to the PoistionHold Stabilization.

I think it's potentially a bug with the controller tbh. Take the plane up in VTOL mode in high (I test in worst case, so 100%) and turn side on to the wind. Doesn't matter if you're in position hold or not.

with out removing all the control and wing surfaces on the craft high winds are always gonna do that, there is a reason IRL you dont see stuff being air lifted unless the weather is calm.

Thanks for the update, but, oof that pitch moment when side on to strong winds in VTOL mode...
