Richard Power Colt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised that I haven't seen this being discussed much. I looked up a few forum posts where this was mentioned and saw counter-arguments about how realistic speed would be too fast for the map's size. I'm not asking for it to be realistic, but jesus christ they are slower than helicopters. This might have to be re-checked, but if I remember correctly, I was able to catch my friend who was flying a Luxor(supposedly the fastest plane after Besra and Lazer) with a Maverick(which I believe is the slowest helicopter after Cargobob). They might have the advantage of not losing as much speed when ascending or descending, but regardless I don't think it's enough to compensate and helicopters are ultimately much more practical, because they are easier to land with. I mean I still fly planes just, because it has a different feel to it, but other than that helicopters are always the better option for flying anywhere(discounting Lazer and Besra). And yes it's unrealistic that helicopters are generally faster than planes. Might be too late to change it as some missions are designed to keep the current plane speeds in mind. Edit: There actually used to be a glitch which could make any plane in this game faster than Lazer and Besra. It was hilarious to do with a Titan. The game's rendering struggled to keep up. Sadly R* seemingly patched it long ago.

Maya Echo Visari Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm more concerned about the top speeds of all land vehicles being 120 mph.. Rendering is obviously something of a big issue in this game, (Mostly for last-gen), but I feel like they could've given us a bit more.. Leg room for current gen despite the fact that there are still rendering issues. But rendering issues are simply unavoidable. Should the velocity of vehicles be toned down to pull a curtain over the inevitable? Meh..

I actually am getting this on PC so I'm expecting to have this fixed through a mod. But it's still a complaint about the original game and like you pointed out, not everyone has a PC.

VanessaMagick Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I dunno. I've got a Vestra and it certainly doesn't feel lacking in the speed department.

Richard Power Colt Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I dunno. I've got a Vestra and it certainly doesn't feel lacking in the speed department. It's one of the faster and more versatile planes in this game. But trust me that's not saying much.
