mod2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi all, Just a question, why do you think the developers never implemented the ability to fly any of the jets at the airport? I actually heard a rumor that it had something to do with 9/11. Great game anyway mod2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game anyway mod2009 lol dude. when did you fall of the band wagon? this question is decades old. and NO it wasn't because of 9/11, liberty city is fairly small compared to San An and only has one airport. Think about it. In a helicopter it takes like 1 min to fly across all three islands, with a plane? hell would you even have enough airspace?

Just one simple question... what was the point of your post? Yes, it would be too fast for this city, but who the hell cares lol? It's still a freakin' plane and if we want to use it, why don't they let us do it? It would be cool to do stunts in a plane if you ask me... even if it's too fast.

Dude, Have you ever played Frontlines - Fuel Of War? if not, try it, as I'm sure you'll agree, flying the jets in this game can be quite fun Having the capability to fly (even the small jets) would make GTA4 even more awesome, not to mention making the overall popularity of the game last alot longer.

Magic_Al Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Since there are only two models of helicopters I think the absence of planes is partly because they didn't want to spend too much time on aircraft when there was so much other work to do on the game. Planes are not the only thing people complained about "missing" compared to San Andreas. Every part of IV is more detailed and took more time to make.

Oddsock Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'd be happy with at the very least a Skimmer...a V/STOL fighter would be pretty pimp too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikt Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 If they made the jets flyable (or the big Andromada/AT-400) i'd be happy. It would be more awesome if they added the F-35 Vertical takeoff/landing to it. Imagine you having six stars and there are planes circling around you. Or dropping bombs. >:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some modding genius could mod the annihilator to look like a Harrier, Yak-141, F-35 etc. Ive seen some mods on the SA fighter jets, they made it into a Su-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddsock Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Yeah but seeing a Freestyle (Yak-141) buzzing around like a helicopter would be ridiculous. In response to the guy who wants the Andromeda, big planes would just be stupid. In such a small area it would be difficult and unfun to fly. Small planes that could be put down on streets would be a lot better...something like a Piper Cub or a Fi-156 Storch. I might actually prefer that over a VTOL craft that required less skill to land, but it would be hella fun to have one anyway. A V-22 would be a dream, but too big to be practical for GTA IV use.

brOkeRxBoYxLC Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 maybe in an update they can add like a little airport where you can fly do-do's from san andreas lol. like over in alderney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just use the airport they have now? No need to make another one...man, I do wish we had planes. And parachutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAME MASTER Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Why not just use the airport they have now? No need to make another one...man, I do wish we had planes. And parachutes. Using parachute would be useful for Niko if he drop out of a helicopter and fall anywhere on the ground without dying and a quick getaway from the police. Just like in San Andreas, but I would like the parachute to go down faster, have a better chance to escape and survival when the police helicopter try to shoot Niko.

Trooth Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just a question, why do you think the developers never implemented the ability to fly any of the jets at the airport? I actually heard a rumor that it had something to do with 9/11. "The only apparent change on the game that has been suggested to have been made shortly after 9/11 was of the police cars' paint scheme. " "The Dodo airplane, the only flyable aircraft in the game, was also a point of discussion; the wings of the vehicle were significantly short, while an uncontrollable full-winged version has been seen flying around the city. However, the plane, for months before 9/11, had a short wingspan, as evidenced from a preview in Game Informer (Issue #95), which indicated that the plane was to be used in a (now abandoned) mission to loft the plane high enough in its brief flight and reach new areas of the city." ~Wikipedia - Grand Theft Auto III Some of you might have read about Darkel, bum who wanted to destroy Liberty Citys economy in GTA3. They changed the story of GTA3 because of 9/11 Liberty City is smaller than San Andreas, but yeah parachutes could be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would be wierd, but more unrealistic than wierd. I cant imagine seeing a Soviet/Russian aircraft buzzing around America. What about just changing the Annihilator for a Mi-24/28 or similar?

Free_Runner Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 rofl... just change the FBI handling with Fighter handling..then get simple nativetrainer 3.9 and spawn a plane and then attach to object..make car/player invisible in the car options..and you ahve a fully working plane..i fly it all the time...

Oddsock Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 We seem to have a nicely-shared interest MiG... I don't know why you'd change the Annihilator to a Hind...wouldn't really make a difference unless you like the idea of passengers bouncing around in the cargo hold as the thing goes down (so much for bailing out...). lmao at the Croatian AF thing.

I don't know a darn thing about them but that suggestion does it for me. Change it to an Apache if you prefer Western design, I just want something that shoots missiles while on the move. The minigun is pretty crappy. And I wasnt dissing the Croatian AF at all Just saw his flag thing and yeah. BTW the Croatian Air Force is a bit like a baby-Serbian one, their main Fighters are about a dozen modernised MiG-21's and as far as I know no attack helicopters.

Oddsock Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Haha, well, necessity dictates... I wouldn't want an Apache because that would only be a one-seater (yeah two-seater in real life but knowing R* they'd make it for one person to control everything), but you know the UH-60 can carry FFAR pods with the ESSS (External Stores Support System), the "wings" that the Annihilator has. And I give credit to Google for that ESSS business, I didn't know what those wings were called exactly. In Lost & Damned the miniguns change into HE rounds with the explosive power of an in-game grenade -- enough to kill anything with one shot. Makes life too easy.

I wouldnt like that, its just a utility helicopter. If you want space, then just get a Mi-8. Can hold 24 passenger and uses Falanga ATGM and S-5 Rockets. Why are we talking about helicopters btw? This topic is for fixed winged aircraft lol Just get a miniature Harrer or Yak-141 or a not-so-chubby-and-fat F-35 and voila, VSTOL aircraft ready.
