VTOL moves the engine nacelles, all the way to the top for straight ahead flight. Activation group 1 for landing lights. STOL can be accomplished by using VTOL slightly less then top for short takeoff, and full bottom for reverse thrust. 66% throttle for super cruise (no afterburner super sonic flight). Using more then 66% thrust when in any position other then full top VTOL can lead to the variable intake cones impacting the wings. Using engine vectoring with afterburner is prolly not the best idea anyway, it is an airliner after all lol. Adjust flight with trim, autopilot does not work at all.


I used FrankieB's DC-9 as a basic start point for this build.
His original build can be found here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/juzFpD/Delta-Airlines-Douglas-DC-9
Applogies if I broke any rules or codes when using his work as a start point.
