Vertical takeoffs with the Harrier

Recommended Posts

The instruction manual doesn't help much. There appears to be an "auto-hover" option but the plane does nothing when I select it.

Help a brotha out.

select auto-hover on and step on the gas. 'Q' default (thrust or so in keyboard settings) It's not a vertical takeoff though, just a short takeoff/landing.

The AV8 doesnt take off vertical, but can land vertical (STOVL).

At takeoff select the autohover and accelerate and nose up as you gain speed. The AV8 will get airborne much quicker than normally.

Once you have some cruising speed, switch hover off.

The Harrier in r/l can only take off vertical without anything is mounted on it.

Therefore, armed with bombs or rockets, it can only do a short takeoff, but you can land vertical with some training in ArmA.
