the old build space looks cooler then a black void lol

i found this 9 year old build in my jet stream

Literally Legend
Imma spotlight it

Man I found a fossil. Looks really cool for its age, flies great too! Of course it got low fuel as it's the product of its time

@Penguinplanes WHAT IS VTOL????????

I made 1 called VTOLJet with your advise so thx

Oh and check out my planes and see if you like any

Thx

the force of your engines pointing downward and very slightly forward will slow your plane enough for hovering. when you are under 40 mph, you point the slider at neutral then gradually decrease your thrust to just below your minimum take off power.
.
then, Practice... alot.. Good luck on landing!

edit.. use nudge button to adjust the VTOL nozzle on one side so you could bring your CoT close to the CoM then mirror it to the other side. check if you have the desired results.. if not delete the mirrored nozzle then nudge again.. mirror, check, not desirable?? delete, nudge... etc.. its a trial and error..

.
good luck!!

I'm not good at flying VTOL planes myself but I could give you some advice on how to build a proper one based on many scraped VTOLs I've made in the past I'll assume you will mainly use fuselage blocks to build your plane
.
Practice alot.. so you could control your plane properly (I am yet to be a master in flying VTOL planes myself even after 1 year of playing the game)..
.
The Center of Thrust (CoT) should always be at the same place as the Center of Mass (CoM) AT ALL FUEL LEVELS. This is a common mistake of most players because as fuel gets depleted, the plane's center of mass actually moves.. in effect the planes that could hover at 100% fuel can no longer do it at <80% because the CoM has already shifted.
.
When you build a VTOL.. you should finish the whole plane first.. then try to adjust the position of the CoT to be at the same place as the CoM.. Use the dead weight option on the fuselage blocks to move the CoM. Normal jets and props also move the CoT in an undesirable place so if possible avoid them unless you are a really good builder.
.
After the plane is finished you should add fuel gradually, part by part, using the fuel slider on the fuselage blocks. Make sure as you add fuel you must keep the CoM at the same place as when the plane has no fuel at all.. this is a very time consuming process and usually makes the plane under-fueled.. try out different combinations on which part gets more fuel and which gets less or nothing at all
.
The position of your Center of Lift (CoL) does not matter much but it really helps when it is in line of your CoM
.
When flying, the first thing you had to make sure is you must know your plane's minimum takeoff thrust. Gradually increase your thrust until you see your plane hover very slightly.. remember this as around this thrust level you could hover in the air or land your plane..
.
You can only hover from 0 mph up to 40 mph.. past that your wings "catches" air and you start "flying"
.
I could not give you tips for landing because I'm bad at that.. but you could watch this. I made that a year ago when the VTOL engine first came out. notice how I gradually increase the thrust as I bring the VTOL slider upwards. this ensures a smooth transition between vertical take off and normal flying. The landing part is good enough for me at that time. but a really good technique is to move the slider very slightly down. (1/2)

Hi, I was just wandering if you could give me a few VTOL tips? I have made 1 but it kept crashing and stuff

This looks amazing keep up the great work.
