Airplane Takeoff Question

[Reeve]

Alright I know how to take off in an airplane but what I want to know, is how do you gain altitude before you move forward? Ive seen this done in Gulf of Oman where the plane is right next to the end of the carrier on the US side. The pilot then goes straight up really high and then goes forward in the air without having to use a runway. How do you do this?

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

is u are talking about the F-35 you jsut need to roll up your mouse and keep rolling

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

With your scroll wheel? Well my scroll wheel is sort of defective, is there a way to do that using any keys?

[Talus]

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Use your 'reverse' key

e.g. S

That will get you into VTOL mode (vertical take off and land)

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Hold down S.

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

as others have said, the F-35B has VTOL capability which can be used via the "S" key or by using reverse thrust position on a throttle (if you have a joystick / control system)

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Do you mean VTOL? Or do you mean a takeoff, that is straight up?

Because I can explain how to do the second one.

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Whatever takeoff style ur taking about, usually players press shift (after burners) to get extray thrust.

I've seen it done before, but don't know how to do it myself.. so how?

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

In the F35 you just nose up and life off verticaly (sp?)

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

It is nice to see pilots trying to take off normally and crash right into the sea

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Ummm, this is a rhetorical question. Nose up ^

[Papi4baby]

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

If you use a joystick, just pull back on it as you get on it, and the plane will lift the nose(only the F-35 does this) and as soon as you hear the engines spooling up, hit ab and boom your gone.

Re: Airplane Takeoff Question

Alright yeah, to take off vertically, it's really easy. But people just don't have any common sense.

Basically, when you get in the jet.. you will hear the engine start up... wait until it gets to its max. RPMs and then start putting the throttle up all the way. When you know the jet is going to start moving in like 1 second, just pull the nose up all the way so that you are vertical.

Then on the way up, pulse the afterburners and thats that.

ANOTHER THING for the people who just get in and nail the afterburner right away... You are WASTING precious afterburner!. Wait until you just start moving until you hit the AB.
