Hanging on Helicopters

[Vincent Shaw]

On the helitours it is so extremely hard, I can´t hang mroe than 5 seconds there and yes I sometimes grab on a taxi while tapping X like hell but after a few seconds I still fall, no matter how I move the analogstick, any suggestion please?

[Furnace]

This seems pretty awesome! So can anyone else confirm that it's X for PS3? I swear i head square before, i bet i looked like a right dumbass running up to cars and trying to grab on to them, Niko just did a little drunk swagger and fell over. I'll try this with a car or truck, and then when i'm bored of that i'll do it with a chopper.

 

Edit: Okay X it is, i'll say how it goes.

how do you hang onto it , tried it on helitours on the helis taking off but niko not interestd in grabbing heli :S

I've only had luck hanging onto vehicles in regular gameplay a few times.

I tend to go to Brucies place at the docks, and see if I can find a truck. When I see one thats up and moving, i start running towards it from the side, then I hop, and then I tap A. Works best when it's driving pretty fast. It's all about seizing the moment to run towards it, otherwise, it'll outrun you.

 

(this is on xbox btw)

Someone asked for a vid of me hanging onto buildings and stuff, i'll try to get one recorded its just alot harder to do it with building, mainly due to the fact that buildings don't move towards you at 20 miles per hour lol but if I can find an easy way to do it in single player (no ones online on my friends list) ill record it.

Sorry, I just can´t get over hanging only 5 seconds on a damn heli, is there any secret to it?

Yes I tap X (ps3) like hell and also move the analog stick but no matter what I fall down after few seconds and that´s it, didn´t really work on cars either, whether I grab or not seemed to be random.

Well it's not really hanging but it something fun to do. As soon as the heli tours takes off tap the Y button or triangle on the ps3, and Niko will stand on the legs of the chopper as it ascends and jack the chopper much like a car, all the passengers will jump out to their deaths on the pavement below.

I prefer to fly above one of those helis and crash their blades, when you listen and watch carefully, come screaming suiciders will jump out and or explode anyway.

But somebody say how can I hang this long?

Having a look at that video i had a thought what would happen if you pressed ''Y'' or '' '' I think on ps3 to hang on the feet of the helicopter cos the helicopter in the mission took off as fast as the ones in the helitours PLUS the guy didn't jump......

 

So has anyone tryed this.

 

P.S you get dragged across the floor on a car when you go to enter it because the ped drives away at times.

That was a scripted mission, sorry

I can't hold on either. Niko holds on for the first 3 of 4 seconds, but when it begins to swing left or right a bit he normally falls off. I have actually managed to hold on for long enough to die from the fall, but that was only once. As for cars, it's rare for it to work, the car has to be moving at a consistent speed, but not too fast. I wouldn't really call this a "feature" tbh. It's almost like R* tried to put it in but they couldn't get it right or something so they left it half finished and hoped no one would try to do it anyway. (I know that's probably not the case, but it sure does feel like it.)
