I have been trying to design a jet engine-powered VTOL craft for use in the game. So I tried making a concept craft but I have failed to perform a vertical takeoff as the craft tilts over. So I tried downloading other players' VTOL crafts and have tried flying them. The one that actually took off without a hitch was a craft with Vizzy script for auto takeoff. I tried manually doing a vertical takeoff with the same craft and the same effect happened, an abtupt tilt over and crash. Just wanted to ask how best to perform a vertical takeoff manually.

You need to have the centre of thrust at takeoff balanced with the centre of mass. I have experimented a bit with it, but I have not done much with VTOL

Make sure that the engines are facing towards the centre of mass

@Tweedle_Aerospace So it's not enough to have the engines just be attached at the point about the center but there's need for them to be slightly angled towards as well?.
