9 November 1978

January 1985

Action Groups:
1 - VTOL Thruster (Easier to VTOL)

I always loved the Harrier for its VTOL abilities, Sadly most aircraft games wont let you use it, but now you can! I recommend to only use action group 1 when taking off or landing, the aircraft gets abit easier to with it on but it also burns up fuel faster.

It's built in a simple yet detailed way to match the default art of simpleplanes.

    This is amazing! It took me a few times to start and then fly without crashing into the ground, but once i got it, it was great! Good job!
