Plane Crashes

[chaosdoomfinger]

after my friend bought the game, we had played it for about an hour and we had a plane crash fall on us in the ocean. it was pretty random.

I had been playing the game for what seemed like forever before I saw my first plane crash. Everyone was posting about them left and right and I was feeling a little like the character from the movie "Mallrats" who never gets to see the 3D sailboat in the optical illusion picture. One day on Chilliad I was getting bored with looking for Bigfoot - yes, it was that long ago and yes, I did look for Bigfoot once - so I crossed the river on the north side and was climbing up the hill by the TV station and KABOOM! A rustler hit the tower. I thought, FINALLY, and stood still for about 20 min while 5 more planes hit and blew. I discovered that at just about the time the burnt carcass of a plane disappears, a new one will spawn and fly over. I must have gotten it out of my system that day 'cause I haven't been back since, but I recommend everyone try this at least once. It's pretty cool, and it's a guaranteed way to see a crash or five.

Everyone posts that they saw a plane crash on Mt. Chilliad bla bla bla

 

Here is why they crash near you:

 

When you're in the city, notice that frequently a plane passes by above you, it's simply 's way of putting realism into the game by having planes flying around.

When you are on Mt. Chilliad, they do the same, except that you are on a mountain, high up, the planes fly at the same hieght, causing them to crash into the mountain because the mountain is high enough to get in their path.

 

 

Although I'm not saying this because I have proof, it is a theory...

 

Anyone disagree?

[Onji_Mozan]

I agree,and disagree. I guess the planes could be hitting the side of the mountain, and they probaly do, but I was at Madd Dogg's mansion, and a plane crashed right above the mansion and landed infront of me.

 

[wildhalcyon]

Actually, the planes fly at different heights generally, I've seen low-flying and high-flying airplanes, it all depends. The important thing about plane crashes is that they occur because the planes fly straight and don't avoid collisions with those objects (although, in general, the planes do have modest collision avoidance, it just doesn't seem to register generally)

[Dragonick]

i agree with the realism that R* wanted to put in the game, but i think sometimes the plane crashes are a little excessive, i mean perfect example, today i was in Las Venturas on one of the main drags, seeing how fast i can blow past traffic with the nos blowing, and out of nowhere, a plane comes down out of nowhere, lands right on top of my car and blows up

[Nin]

i couldnt say thats why plane crashed happen, because i was in grove street when one crashed for me.

That's pretty much the agreement most people have come to.

I only theorise here but I think the crashes where you don't expect them are due to dodgy collision detection, or just power poles and other objects.

I mean there's all these interiors floating about in "blue hell" maybe planes are hitting them then dodgy spawning or whatnot.

[Mafia Righthand_Man]

I've seen plenty of planes fly around the summit and not blow up. The flight altitudes are all different.

post number 400 of the same topic. the reason a plane crashes anywhere inthe game is because the fly level is set low enough to hit certain areas.

Search dude. Search.

This is the reason we have a search button. USE IT.

I think they need to change the image at the top of the page to a large sign in bright red text that says "SEARCH" linked to the search feature.

I'm serious too.

Or like everytime someone tries to hit the new topic button, a huge arrow hints him for the SEARCH button...

 

Or everytime you log on, you get a PM telling you to use search...

 

But, come on, sometimes you type in a certain thing and you get every topic from General Discussion and Cheats and Tricks from the date you entered...

 

I really think wanted some of the planes to crash, not as many as actually do, but quite a few...

The plane-crashes may be caused by the planes, coliding with something.

Buildings, rocks etc.

But, I was once standing on top (and i do mean on TOP) of Mount Chiliad, and a Rustler came down from the sky, all covered in smoke, and crashed,

There's nothing it could have colided with, at that altitude.

 

What I'm saying is, maybe the plane-crashes aren't so random afterall.

It *could* be something, deliberatly programmed into the game.

sucks, the first plane crash I see is on the last quarry mission and I am about to load the body into the dumper when boom (huh ? where did the explosion come from) then a rustler crashes into the dumper and blows it and the dirtbike up.

[Gamefreak30]

I saw a rustler flying in the air (in san fierro),

and I saw smoke coming out the plane.

[CondoM]

then why do they crash into the streets sometimes? i have seen it happen like 3-4 times.

[Gamefreak30]

It sometimes happens to me too,

they crash into the street.

wrong, sorry. when an airplane falls down, this is not the result of an accident, because rockstar WANTS that plane to crash to add even more realism.

just like car-chases and mad drivers in the streets or the dolphin in the water.

when they spawn planes near you, they simply let 1 out of 100 (for example) crash.

[-_MU_-]

For a while, every time I came out of Loco low co a plane would crash nearby. odd.

[Hawkeye1985]

Dan Karies: Yah, That's what I suspect.

Could anyone find out for sure, by looking in the gamecodes?

BUT, it is not against the rules to start a new topic, and if someone starts a topic that have been disgussed too many times, a leader locks it down (usually Barguast, and Opium) But on the other hand, im pretty sure it is against the rules to post about something completely different from the topic, this is called spam posts... To avoid spam posts, just simply click the "new topic" button

and because i dont want to spa post, here is my post for the topic:

 

I dont think planes fly at the samen attitude, if you look at the Andromeda its much higher than f or example the rustler... and also, once my brother came out of loco low co. a plane landed right on top of hes new pimped out low rider ..... it was pretty cool..until some nutty rustler took it out

Noooooooooooooooooooooo.....

 

 

That's exactly what we were talking about, we've got so many useless, uninteresting topics on these forums, we could open a sh*t-topic-store, just look at the bottom of the General Discussion main page, how many topics are listed there???????

 

Starting new topics for ox-pooh is really not meant to help anybody..

[Barguast]

I've merged the topics. Please don't start a new topic when the subject is already being discussed in another

While doing one of Catalina's missions I heard a big bang and looked around and the was a rustler on the road all blown up.

[kid4today]

first one i saw was in los santos next to one of the dancing clubs (i was on a date). a rustler musta hit a building, i heard the explosions then saw it come careering down the street blowing up cars as it hit them, pretty cool to see. i seen a few at mount chilliad, the most annoying one tho was when a beagle crashed right in my path whilst i was doing the cobra run so i couldn't get on to the raised wooden boards!

[Kingjad]

Best plane crashes:

 

1) After "King in exile" cut scene in badlands, Catalina called. Now, IF I had stood still while talking, I would have been crushed to death by an exploding Beagle. I'm thankful I could walk and talk, put it that way! I walked behind the caravan thingy, which saved me from the explosions! But the parked Sanchez then blew up next to me and took away some of me health.

 

2) Picking up Maccer and Kent Paul in "Don Peyote". We're passing the strip club in the desert part of LV, and I look to my left - a Rustler is flying along the ground, grinding along. It tries to fly off again, but unfortunately for the Rustler it rises for a second before hitting a petrol station (gas station). KABOOM!

[Mr. Someguy]

This is a different kind of plane crash:

I'm runnin from a Hydra in a seasparrow, It was about to do another fly-by, I thought I was gonna be killed when the Hydra flies into the garver bridge.

The Hydra's wing clipped the briges piller, the Hydra goes down in a cloud of black smoke, & I'm saved .
