How do I flip my Hover Vessel
I am still learning to play this game, but now I need help :).

After building a 2 floored building, I was attempting to build my first hover vessel on the roof of it. I added 4x hover trusters, I activated them, it flipped (lol) and fell of the building. Now its stuck on its head. And cant flip it back :(

Btw, it said to add an engine in every direction but I can only find the hover engine that sais it need to be attached to the bottem? I am prolly doing something wrong here.

First thing, LOL. Second thing, i dont use hover vessels but dont they have like a boost thing on it? If it has it, then it should be the shift button. I think you would press Shift + The up button or move button. That could be completely false but just an idea.

HV still needs a few rcs units and thrusters in all directions to be really easy to control.

To unflip press shift & space bar whilst in the cockpit.

left shift is the 'flip' key.

Left shift + space will Jump up, but if at an angle might be 'stuck' **

O key will level you, same as a SV or CV.

Arrow up down will raise and lower the nose, and us usefull when aproaching water or a hill at speed.

Q and E will roll left and right, combined with up and down will make a more agressive flight over rought ground.

** "stuck" happens a lot when in a confined space, such as on the side against atree, or in one of those gullies on Omicron. A variety of things can be used to get un stuck, suck as exiting the ship, and chainsawing the tree. Powering off a ship for 5-10 seconds also lets it settle, often rolling back on its feet. If the left shift - space boost jump didn't work the first time, it also may work the second or third time. You can also combine the jump with O and level as you boost, or boost and thrust/roll (arrows or Q/E) in combinations. I have gotten stuck tight a few times, but never had to abandon a ship.

It's worth noting that simply tapping O doesn't seem to be enough. I find it usually needs to be held down for a period of 2 to 4 seconds depending, before it totally stabilizes. The effectiveness of O is going to be a direct result of if you have enough RCS in the vehicle. One of my first HVs was pretty ridiculous in terms of shape and size, but even that..with 6 RCS .. flipped right side up from on its side.

I tried this, but nothing happened. I also tried to make a cliff/hole for it to roll down, but it fell down upside down. Thoughts/

That's because this discussion is from 2016. The information in it is outdated.

The E and Q keys will roll any vessel. You can use those to flip your HV. Or you can use the 'Auto rotate' function which will reset your vessel rotation. Though, I changed my key binding for that to 'Mouse Button 4', you will have to look it up in your controls.
