parmoman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i think planes are out because of 9/11 i think they could of added planes to the game since they say the map is 3/4 of san andreas an that includes san andreas deserts and countryside. I feel there would be to much trouble if planes where on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambone2007 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 9/11 has nothing to do with it. Planes wouldn't work in this game because there's not enough open space to fly them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenUnderdog Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 my theory is that the beta testers had fun with all the dodos in the game, crashed them all, and not a single one's left for us now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody who's played the game and commented on planes have said that there isn't enough open space to have fun. Technically, it would work but you couldn't do much with it.

But somehow Vice City, more than twice smaller, had space? Yeah. Yeah. Vice City had that crappy plane that could only land on water (VCS had a "normal" biplane, btw.) 9/11 had come and gone, TIME TO MOVE ON! Ohh, why don't they stop making Flight Simulators?! It could offend somebody! R* had officially stated that 9/11 had nothing to do with planes missing. They said the reason was because there was only 1 city and 1 airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubix99 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 History of planes. Flight has astonished humans ever since we noticed the flight of birds. And considering how long we have existed, flight is relatively new to us. When Wilbur and Orville Wright mastered the secret of flight in 1903, they did not try to imitate the flight of birds but they built a machine for flying. That is exactly what an airplane is, a flying machine. Many attempts to fly were made before the famed Wright Brothers, but all were unsuccessful. The coming of the airplane brought worldwide amazement. Even though the Wright Brother's first flight only lasted a few seconds, it gave people hope that one day major flight could be achieved. In fact, the Wright Brother's first flight was shorter in distance than a modern 747 Jumbo Jet is long. The first flight only reached an altitude of about 50 feet. From that point on, everyone pursued the technology of flight. Many people began to try and make "flying machines" of their own, with some successful and some not. The military was one of the first organizations to ask the secret of flight from the Wright Brothers, realising the Airplane could be a usefull recon or survaillance tool. Later they realised the terrible destructive power the airplane had--the ability to drop bombs. By the beginning of World War I in 1912 all the major countries had flight, including the Air Forces of the U.S., Great Britain, Germany, France, and Russia. During this time, airplanes had a dual or tri-wing design on most occasions, called Biplanes and Triplanes. (Refer to the HOW PLANES FLY section to learn more about Biplanes and Triplanes). Ever since the WWI era large planes have been used for civilian transport. Since WWI, planes have changed dramatically, though. From the time of WWI to the beginning of WWII, airplanes were switched from a biplane or triplane design to a monoplane design, or a plane with one wing. That design has stayed with virtually all airplanes ever since. Between WWII and the Vietnam War, planes started to get much more sophisticated. During that period jet engines were developed. Before WWII in the 1940's, all planes were driven by piston engined propellers. The jet engine changed flight forever. Planes became faster, they flew higher, but they also became more expensive and complicated. The first plane reached the speed of sound (Mach 1) in 1947. That plane was the X-1, developed by the Bell company and flown by Chuck Yeager. Today the fastest converntional airplanes can reach Mach 3.5, or three and a half times the speed of sound. Some experimental airplanes can travel hypersonically, or above Mach 5. Airplanes today are very fast and very safe. Despite many of the airplane crashes reported in the news, traveling by plane is the safest way to travel. Only one in several million planes crash. By the Gulf War in 1990 military aircraft were far more sophisticated than ever thought possible. Although the aircraft used in the Gulf War were very sophisticated, with their high-tech navigational and radar systems, they were also very deadly to the people that they used their weapons against. As time passes airplanes will continue to grow more sophisticated and technologically advanced, though the military planes may also grow more deadly with stronger weapons. Soon we may see more planes that will fly in the hypersonic regime. By the year 2050 experts say that the only aircraft that will be piloted by humans will be civilian airliners. All military planes and transport planes will be remote-controlled by computers on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenUnderdog Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Ohh, why don't they stop making Flight Simulators?! It could offend somebody! dude, they almost did, microsoft and the company publishing Xplanes almost decided to put an end to their software when words were spreading world wide that the terrorists learnt the command for those boeings in microsoft flight simulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crux989 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Go away, Rubix! I think every feature taken away had been sort of excused. "Ohh its no in because its not real." "Niko wouldnt want that" "The game would suffer". Its a little sad. It just seems like theres these people who are looking for excuses to make themselves feel better about a could-be-fun feature taken away from them. And most of it is speculation made out to be the truth with the rare R* confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, i'm not even a yankee, and i already know this would be wrong and that we'll have hundreds of youtube vids of plane crashing on the empire state building If there were planes I would crash them into Empire State Building, but the fly area in the city is too small. heh just look the post previous mine, already a moron talkin about doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainDude Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Vice city was very small and got a plane, and was fun to fly in buildings and stuff, liberty city is bigger, theres no reason why we can't use a plane, but, oohh well, R* is the boss, if they dont want planes, we are f*cked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derty Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) i think planes are out because of 9/11 i think they could of added planes to the game since they say the map is 3/4 of san andreas an that includes san andreas deserts and countryside. I feel there would be to much trouble if planes where on the game. 9/11 didn't even happen in liberty city. And Rockstar doesn't make business decisions based on political nonsense like that. You would think you would know that by playing their games. There are no planes because they would move across the city way too fast, way faster than the planes of san andreas. They are not even coded yet. Not finished, anyway. There was no plan. In fact, the plan is similar to last gen. Want to know why there are no planes? It's because they started over instead of building more on what they already did. That means planes WERE NOT "TAKEN OUT" They were "NEVER f*ckING INCLUDED IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE THEY WERENT EVEN CODED INTO GTARA" lol. There's going to be a lot of ported sh*t... Planes are not one of them. That will feel new when you get it. Wait till SAIV. Edited April 13, 2008 by derty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkstorm182 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Planes are not in for the simple reason it is totally unrealistic and there is not enough room. The map may be similar in size to that of SA but it is much more detailed and dense therefore there is no open space to fly huge planes, In SA there was allot of countryside & dessert to fly around not in IV. thats why, since when did Rockstar give a sh*t about being PC.

jorim Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 the answer is rather simple, R* wants realism. A real jet flies really fast, so if they want the plane to fly 500mph it will cross the map in less than 3 seconds, could be an answer. Also, try colliding an airplane into a building, wouldn't be easy to make that a realistic crash, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REELHigh_Roller Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 They didn't add planes cause its the same as GTA 3 not graphically or anything like that but that its an Island State and doesn't need planes unless your leaving the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
