Seaplane Carrier Ship - M.S. GuoShi

Description
Welcome on board the M.S. GuoShi, a seaplane tender!

This is 3 vehicles in 1 and my largest creation yet (still needs a bit of tweaking however).
Load cargo into it's hull, take the ship to the seas, unload the seaplane for a search and rescue mission; this old ship has it all! It's not a modern ship so a good captain is required. And that seaplane is a classic too, be careful when taking off!

The Ship is loosely based on old 1950s cargo ships and seaplane tenders. It has a huge hull and lots of rooms.
The Seaplane is made to be very compact yet able to fit a lot of passengers inside and equipment.
The Lifeboat is the same story as the seaplane, small but lots of passengers and equipment!
For anyone curious, I was inspired by the world of Crimson Skies haha

USAGE:
- Ship
1. Go to the Wheel House at the top floor.
2. Turn on Fuel Values, Fuel pumps and increase the throttle as the hold down the Start engine button and you're good to go!

- Seaplane
1. Use the key to unlock the plane from it's clamps
2. Raise the crane arm till it's vertical
3. Extend the crane and slowly lower the arm so the plane doesn't bump into the ship on it's way out
4. Make sure the crane arm is fully extended before lowering it into the water
5. Store the ropes in the wings of the seaplane
6. Get inside and turn on the Electricity at the pilots seat
7. Turn on Fuel, start the engine and increase the throttle (it should take off by itself but it can be difficult in rough water, use the ship crane in case it capsizes to rescue it)
8. Use the seats behind the pilots seat to get out of the cockpit

- Lifeboat
1. Unfortunately the winches in Stormworks aren't strong enough to lift the boat so it only comes free when the ship capsizes (which is the exact moment you'll need it!)
2. Turn on fuel, start the engine and head to safety!

This still needs a few changes to make it perfect but from now it's a lot of fun. I'll do my best to keep working on it while finishing my other creations!

Hey. There is an easy fix to get the crane on the front working. Just use electric cable anchors (ECA)instead of normal cable anchors, feed the red lines of the ECA to mag blocks instead of the cable blocks. Add a toggle button to the control station next to the crane for the mags, and voila. You can just mag up the thing. For me four medium winches are good, il try four small ones necxt.

is there a way to sink it

i noticed that the little propeller at the rear of the plane doesnt turn maybe its a visual bug but maybe if it did it could help the plane clear the water?
