===How to use STOVL===

Harrier (AV8B) can now perform Short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL).

It is controled with "Autohover ON/OFF" action.

When activated, there is no such autopilot for slowdown that helicopters use.

Thrust vector is just rotated downwards. Q/Z keys control only airplane speed.

There are no keys for control over vertical thrust,

so it is not possible to hover up/down like in helicopter.

Takeoff procedure:

- activate Autohover

- extend full flaps (2x crtl+K)

- gain some speed by holding Q for a short while and then release it.

- once in the air, retract gear (crtl+G)

- hold Q a little longer until you move fast enough

- retract flaps as you build more speed (2x ctrl+L)

- at aprox. 180kmph toggle autohover off and control flight as regular aircraft

Landing procedure:

- reduce speed and altitude same way as during conventional landing

- extend full flaps (2x crtl+K), drop gear (crtl+G)

- hold Z to reduce speed

- at aprox 180 kmph activate Autohover

- pitch nose up to reduce speed, check speed, height and flight path vector indicated on HUD

- hold Z for descent at aprox 2.5 m/s

- at touchdown toggle autohover off
