WolfbackGames Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I haven't really seen airplanes being discussed a whole lot lately, (whether I'm blind and they have been and I'm stupid, or it's not a popular subject), and I thought it would be interesting to bring up. I absolutely LOVED being able to fly airplanes in SA. After I finished the storyline, I would always find a jet and just zip around the map. When you first try and fly them, they were kind of funky to control, but after you got use to them, they were a great mean of travel. Now in GTAIV, R* decided not to add flyable airplanes due to the small map - completely understandable. We haven't been able to fly planes in the new Rage engine in the HD era yet, and I think it will be awesome to fly them in a more realistic fashion. I can't wait to see how they control in GTAV! Edit: Now we've seen plane's in action. Pretty f*cking sexy: Edited July 9, 2013 by WolfbackGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJames37 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm excited at the possibility we will be able to fly commercial airplanes... but I won't be disappointed if not. Just give me a jet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveGotNoValues Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Im so excited for flying planes! Im sure they will nail the flying controls so it feels natural and easy to fly. I cant wait to see the damage on these planes, i hope its more realistic than in San Andreas where they blow up so easily after just slightly bumping something. I want wings coming off making it harder to control until it catches fire and then explodes. Something to think about is how flying will work in multiplayer. Im sure when your trying to take off annoying people will try to block you, damaging your plane and making it impossible to get airborne. But i guess thats just part of the fun, once you finally are able to take off without disruption, it will be more satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoleInTheSky Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm not that bothered. Sure, you'll be getting a nice perspective of the map, but air travel isn't half as fun as getting lost in the middle of the wilderness or bustling city and navigating your way through the map coming across tons of goings on from peds and crazy drivers. Planes are convenient for long-distance travel, but that's about it. Although the parachuting would be impossible without aircraft, but that's another thing altogether.

EmmitBrown Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Im still addicted to the dodo. Id love it if a cropped wing plane was in the game. Even if its not im gonna LOVE all the planes they include. And then ill try to put rims on it. Soul plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfbackGames Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just had a thought: Imagine if you could customize the planes. Say you have an airliner, and you want to have more powerful engines so you can go faster. That'd be sick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_be Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Right now I'm not too excited about it, but I'm glad they will be in the game. Once the game comes out and I hop in one in "Grand Theft Auto Online" I think I'll be more excited to be back in a jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seenyour31 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm stoked about the return of planes, esp. fighter jets, hoping for at least 3 different military fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatedRviper Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Of course I'm excited!! Planes will feel more realistic,we will have chance to fly them FIRST TIME ever in RAGE and Euphoria engine.... But I think we won't be able to fly big passanger planes....only small ones like Cuban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugotsmoked Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 No, planes would ruin the vibe Then stick to IV...I guarantee you are in the minority if you do not want planes in V...especially considering the map size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racecarlock Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 No, planes would ruin the vibe Oh yes, planes totally feel out of place in a game that lets people wield and fire miniguns and rednecks crash trains. Planes are my favorite travel method. Just get out of here dude. If you want IV, go play IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh you do realize that if you knocked one wing off a plane it would just spin into the ground right. I'm a pilot I know these things I hope the planes take skills to fly like in FSX and have the damage model of IL2 I always hated in San Andres how unrealistic the planes were to fly. I hope we have working gauges in the cockpits so I can fly in bad weather take a look at this Edited June 28, 2013 by z06z33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luddite Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I'm stoked about the autogyro. If any aircraft could be customizable that would be it. They are popular around the Salton Sea so I expect Trevor or Ron to have one. The open cockpit (and sometimes footpedal steering) and slow airspeed should allow for gta-style drive-by shooting techniques. Anywho I think they're really cool.

IveGotNoValues Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Why does everyone doubt you can fly big airliner planes. I believe we will be able to. In Michaels trailer we see that big airliner landing. Isnt that sort of confirmation that were gonna be able to fly them? And if not, for what reason wouldn't we be able to?

I hope we have working gauges in the cockpits so I can fly in bad weather take a look at this I'm really hoping for realistic flying as well. In a way, it would kind of make sense with the whole "flying skill" thing R*has mentioned. How else could they make Trevor better at flying a plane than Michael and Franklin? I guess they could do something similar to what happens when you drink and drive in IV, but that doesn't seem like a proper solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChocoFrosty Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Now in GTAIV, R* decided not to add flyable airplanes due to the small map - completely understandable. It's not really understandable to me. GTA III had the Dodo, and even VCS had the Biplane and Skimmer. I think R* didn't want to take the time needed to develop the physics for planes. It was just another thing left out of IV. (I love and still play IV, by the way). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the code is still in the engine, but you can't fly it or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis2252 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 i had serious problems trying to control the planes in San Andreas on the PS2 when it came to planes like the dodo and the stuntplane. the jets and passenger planes were much easier to control, and i did indeed love flying those. im hoping they refined the planes handling in V (they should have, its been 9 years ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm looking forward to flying a plane straight into some random field and seeing how the physics react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
