Lymphoid Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Ok, so I know there are dozens of myths out there about gta3 that people have claimed to be true, which many of them were buster but as for helicopters.... I was reading where someone said that surprisingly there is code in the gta3 for helicopters and being able to drive them, which kind of makes sense because there are police choppers and R* might have taken them out of the game but left a little code. Now im not saying there actually are drivable choppers because we would all know by now but I also read on that same page that if you get to catalinas chopper on the dam before it takes off you can enter it for a second but when it takes off, you fall out. This had me thinking.. i wanted to try and bust this myth for my self, but I had no ideas of how to get to it before her. any ideas or comments on this subject?

Justin Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 The only helicopters in GTAIII aren't technically 'vehicles' as the game sees them. They're more like objects. Notice how the only ones you see fly are the police choppers and ones in cutscenes? This is because the police ones are hardcoded into the EXE (and aren't usable, don't have pilots, etc.), and the ones in cutscenes have their specific actions controlled by the mission script (e.g. move object up for three seconds, bank left for two, etc.). It may seem like they're usable, but in fact they aren't. Rockstar never had any code to allow player use of helicopters as far as I know. That said, back in the day I did have a modification for GTAIII that allowed me to fly a chopper. I believe it was used in conjunction with the Admin Console and was very jittery but still provided the same basic functions.

Master-Of-GTA Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 In a part of this video, the player has managed to get to Catalina's chopper. As you can see, it is completely 'go through'.

stef_92 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 In this video the player is playing with hacks or mods! Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/274829-helicopter/#findComment-4186881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef_92 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It looks like that are bugs of the PS2 version Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/274829-helicopter/#findComment-4188695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms.cooldude Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 He got to the helicopter by either jumping off the edge of the dam or by using a car to jump off because when you are chasing the helicopter from the mansion it is moving until it approches the dam and stops in the place when it is shown in the video the helicopter only moves after that when you approuch catilina the real way (By shooting your way through ) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/274829-helicopter/#findComment-4189520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal War0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I was also aware you could get there through the drive up walls capability of a car with super handling (cornerslikemad) code, I also heard that if you shoot it, the cutscene with the explosion automatically triggers.

Heihachi_73 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Not that I know, but could it be the GTA: Liberty City (VC mod)? If the star (wanted) icons are aligned with the money it is. GTA3 has the stars aligned with the weapon indicator. I won't even attempt to look at that video on this connection. As it is I already hate streaming media!

lord fido Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I said that about the helicopter things. I guess R* thought it was unrealistic and out of reach of the player. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/274829-helicopter/#findComment-4197069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demarest Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 You could always grab GTA:LC. I LOVE having heli's in GTA3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/274829-helicopter/#findComment-4198586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
