Vertical Takeoff:
- Select "Cancel Auto-Vectoring" (action menu)
- Increase vectoring to 90 degrees (action menu). That will point the nozzles directly down. Note the HUD symbol changing.
- Increase thrust until take off.
- Retract landing gear.
- Now you can continue flying as a helicopter does - meaning rather slow speed.
- If you want to increase speed, decrease vectoring (nozzle pointing backwards), or switch to auto-vectoring and nose-down a bit.
- Same as above, just decrease thrust and don't forget the landing gear.
The fewer men, the greater share of honor
