Thanks Chuck, the credits really deserve to go to the designer Simon Smeiman, I just happened to get lucky and be the 1st to introduce it to everybody here at Simviation! He did say feel free to do repaints so I do plan to do some repaints of it. 8-)

Chuck drop the flaps and go full throttle and she will very smoothly take off on her own! Very smooth to fly, fast and strong, I've had her up to 300 knots and she didnt miss a beat!!! 8-)

STOL = short take off/landing
VTOL = vertical take off/landing

Well she's already a fairly good stol aircraft patchz, but I'll pass that request on the vtol to the designer and see what he says, personally I've have yet to see any vtol aircraft in FSX work correctly, I have the Isis Harrier and that thing wont take off straight up, I have a payware 22B Osprey and it don't take off straight up either even though in real life both these aircraft can raise straight up ..... :-?

Wilco Publishing has got it mostly figured out.......I have their Tilt Rotor, it does fairly well. It kind of picks up off of the ground funny.......but the transition is pretty smooth. I don't have their new Harrier, but I hear it's awesome 8-) 8-)

Their new Harrier is very well detailed for freeware inside and out I will say that much, but she's a hand full to control in flight, soon as you start to rotate the nozzles all hell breaks out lol!
