Yes, i know Any FS has no VTOL, but this question has been burning me for a while now: Why not? If X-plane can, why not FS?

What i mean is 0kias take off, 0kias landing. And not some glitchy, hovering thing when you actually do hit zero. (by glitchy, i mean yuo fluxuate between altitudes very fast)

there is a harrier in the FSM miliatary and it has exactly what you want.
It doesn't do that glitchy thing you are talking about

Flight simulator cannot reproduce VTOL or any kind of variable thrust vectoring (like F-22 ou Su-35) because of the way the flight model is computed.

However, some guy from the SimOuthouse forum (I never remember his exact name

Rob Barendregt's Moller SkyCar can do VTOL via a control gauge, but it's only for FS9 at the moment. The FSX version is due in September.
