Vertical takeoff is done by the Harrier, press down

vertical take offs the easy bit, but how do you slow down in the harrier so u can hover again and land?

Whenever ive tried it my plane just drops out of the sky like a brick.

Re: Vertical Takeoff and landing

You must continually press and hold the S key if you do it that way. Otherwise I would recommend mapping your joystick's throttle to the engine control, and then you just put it all the way down.

Bear in mind you will go a little flat when making the conversion, so pull up on the stick a bit till your speed drops and try to keep the nose level with the horizon the whole time.

It's not a Harrier, it's a J35 Joint Strike Fighter, thats where you're going wrong.

You can do it, double tap the reverse button (S) to speed up the transition and make damn sure you have enough height to convert and not slam into the deck.

I've actually seen people take off vertically and then stay that way, slowly teetering away from the carrier and off to battle without converting to forward flight. I have no doubt it makes bombing very accurate but you're undoubtedly a sitting duck.

It is pretty difficult especially when try to lands on the US Essex. You have to have the right height, speed and distance... doing it wrong will get you in the sea or bang into the Essex

:laugh: I've done that on Gulf of Oman, (although) flew to enemy base and then hovered behind. Got quite a few kills but you are definately an easy target.

Landing a jet isnt that hard on the carrier. For me its easier than landing on the ground runways because they have stupid hills at the end of them to make you crash!! lol

whatever your landing on just make sure you speed is near 500 then keep holding S untill you stop.
