How to vertically take off in VTOL aircraft?

In Project Reality BF2 there are Harriers and Opsreys and maybe more VTOL aircraft.
How do I properly do a vertical take off with these?
I tried pressing the S key to start hovering and gain some height and then pressing W to generate forward thrust but it takes very long to get the thrust up and reach enough speed for the aircraft to start flying so that I loose a lot of height in this process and often simply crash.
I guess there must be a better way.

How do I turn off VTOL VR vertically?
The STOVL feature makes the jet land vertically like a helicopter and take off in very short distances. This allows it to operate from austere, short-field bases and a range of air-capable ships. Costing more than $100 million per jet, the F-35B is one of the most expensive jets in the world.Can jets take off vertically?
Besides the ubiquitous helicopters, there are currently two types of VTOL aircraft in military service: tiltrotor aircraft, such as the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, and thrust-vectoring airplanes, such as the Harrier family and new F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).What aircraft can take off vertically?
Developed in the 1950s, with a total flight time of over 20 million hours, the Harrier Jump Jet is the first and the most successful VTOL aircraft in aviation history. The Harrier family formed an extensive attack force for the Royal Navy.F-45A: Vertical Takeoff | VTOL VR F-45 Tutorial
