Flying vehicles are now possible in GTA2. YouTube video of UFO:

Nice! They look a lot like saucer sections from ships in Star Trek. Come to think of it, is that from the USS Reliant?

[Sektor]

Not sure but it also reminded me of Star Trek.

I didn't make the saucer sprite, I just wrote the script that makes it fly and vike modified the exe to make that possible. The UFO sprite was created by Jeff Mathews for GTA1 (he also made the program for editing GTA1 sprites): http://gtamp.com/GTA1/gta1-saucer.7z , I haven't properly converted it to GTA2, I cheated and used the saucer as a gangcar icon. It would be good if someone could convert it properly.

That's looking great as usual.

 

It also offers much more possibilities like airplanes or choppers, or some futuristic floating cars.

Wow, amazing. There is still some hope for GTA 2 .

Would be great if you could manage to get a maverick or airtrain in there. The only problem would be the rotor of the chopper, I guess.

[Sektor]

Animating the rotor should be no problem. Planes that fly like planes should be possible but it's not going to be able to do a barrel roll, it's still a 2D sprite. I'll make several flying machines but I'm distracted with GTAV at the moment.

How about a hovercraft, is it possible to make a car sprite float on water, but not over other cars/roads.

[Sektor]

It's possible but I haven't done it yet. There was a way to drive on water before vike's exe updates by modifiying the handling file so that turning actually moves you backwards instead of just turning but it's not ideal.
