Mountain Hopper is perfect to get you anywhere and position yourself for the perfect location to save, including elevation. If it tips over it can operate upside down also.

Instructions (sorry). Activation 1 to release the engine. Activation 2 to active wheel rotors. Raise the vehicle off the engine and move forward using pitch up (RCN). Alternatively, just lift off for a vertical take-off. Activation 3 for the VTOL controls. With both the wheels and thrusters at 45%, move forward, the thrusters should keep the vehicle pinned to the ground whilst moving forward. For moving in small spaces, raise the wheels and only use forward RCN.

Now if you’re interested in skimming across the plains at a 100kph then go to a flat(ish) area, lower the vehicle with minimal clearance, point the thrusters slight upward, and around 20 to 50% power… you will need plenty of room to turn at that speed.

Enjoy SR

    @PhilipTarpley Thanks... I found out that when saving a new location the elevation of the cockpit is important! BTW the SimplePlanes map is huge! when you explore on the ground it just keeps giong on and on!
