F-35B Lightning II

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime F-35 contractor, with principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A, the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the carrier-based (CV/CATOBAR) F-35C.

Not certain if this works without FARc. If you have FARc installed, be sure to download atmosphere autopilot and set max g to 9 Pitch, yaw and roll limiter to 5 and moderate aoa to 35. This is required for the craft to function properly

How to VTOL

  1. Press 3 to toggle the hinges, press space twice to toggle the engine and lift fan
  2. Open Infernal robotics gui and set the target angle (2nd to the last) 90
  3. Put your thrust at 80% or 4 lines behind max throttle. Wait around 15-20 seconds
  4. Slowly raise the thrust until liftoff
  5. If the plane seems to be pitching up, keep pressing W. But don’t pitch up if it starts pitching down, this is natural. Keep making small adjustments if it goes off-course
  6. Wait until you reach an altitude of 300m above ground level before transitioning to horizontal flight

How to transition to normal flight:

  1. Open infernal robotics gui if you closed it
  2. Start slowly pitching the plane down, as you pitch it down, start slowly tilting the angle of the engine to its normal position. Don’t angle it back too fast
  3. When you reach speeds of 80 m/s, angle the engine to its normal place and press 3 to untoggle the hinges and shutdown the lift fan.
  4. Put the panther engines trust limiter back to 100
