This is currently only available in the Harrier and the MV-22 Osprey. By pressing F, you can switch between standard and VTOL mode. VTOL are a special type of plane which work a bit differently.Most also have multiple seats – the V-22 Osprey for example can seat up to 14! Some planes, like the helicopters, can land on the water and will float.
The nose, just like in a Helicopter, is controlled with the mouse. The throttle will slowly speed you up, and once fast enough tilt your nose up to take off. Once you get the hang of it, controlling them is very natural and you’ll easily get all around the world! Push your mouse up, the controls will tilt the nose down, and you’ll move forward. Throttle will simply accelerate you in whatever direction the roters are facing, so if you keep the controls level, you’ll just go straight up. You’ve all seen them, they go up and down and all around.
