a nice Harrier sporting American Marine Corp colors? and realistic VTOL not STOL like the ones ive found? if at all posible?

VTOL flight is not possible in FS except for helicopter flight models.

There are a number of good payware Harriers around, I think both DSB and Alphasim have released some fairly recently.

There's one here at SimV...

VTOL flight is not possible in FS except for helicopter flight models.

I've seen a number of aircraft that are capable of it.

You can get very very close, but the system used to simulate VTOL requires forward speed.

You can get down to about 5 knots forward airspeed. This either requires forward motion or a headwind.

Extreme STOL works with fixed wing airfiles, VTOL doesn't.

well i had a free trial of a payware Harrier and it was VTOL i could hover it with no forward velocity nor backward

If it hovered with no forward airspeed there are several possibilities:

1. You had a headwind.
2. You were looking at the airspeed guage and it was designed to bottom out above the VSTOL speed.
3. You were dreaming.

VTOL is simply not possible in a fixed-wing airfile in FS...no ifs, ands or buts...

Which payware Harrier were you flying?

free trial makes me think abacus.

While im here, I could repaint the AP Designs harrier GR7 in usmc colours if needed.

yeh it was abacus and thanks for the offer on the repaint i dont know if i have that model though could you give me an idea to where i can get it?

and it was coming in on a landing i might of had the nose up and stalled it a low altitude i dont remember lol its been a few months

erok i got the GR.7
