AZAZEL Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I'm aware that many people know of this "trick" with the Rhino and the Dodo-cheat, but here's a guide for those of you who doesn't. || Rhino Specs || Get to know the vehicle you are flying. performance 1. On ground - Speed: 3/10 (without use of O) - Acceleration: 2/10 (without use of O) - Handling: 3/10 - Braking: 5/10 - Mass: 10/10 - Durability: 10/10 - Speed: 6/10 (with use of O) - Acceleration: 5/10 (with use of O) 2. On water - Speed: 2/10 (without use of O) - Acceleration: 2/10 (without use of O) - Handling: 3/10 - Braking: 4/10 - Mass: 10/10 - Durability: 9/10 - Speed: 5/10 (with use of O) - Acceleration: 4/10 (with use of O) 3. In mid-air - Speed: 8/10 - Acceleration: 5/10 - Handling: 7/10 - Braking: 0/10 - Mass: 10/10 - Durability: 6/10 3d view || How to RhinoGlide || preparations 1. Go get a Rhino (tank) - At the Fort Baxter Airbase: 80/100 HPs required. Just storm in through the main gate, using any car, stop close to the Rhino, quickly enter it and drive it out of the compound. You could also fly a helicopter in and land besides it. Both methods works fine. - Spawn one: Stand next to any road, and press the code "Circle (x2), L1, Circle (x3), L1, L2, R1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle". A Rhino will now dump down onto the road next to you. 2. Punch in the needed codes - Dodo cheat: "Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Down, L1, R1". This will give every car the ability to actualy fly, or glide, like the Dodo from GTA3... for those of you who've been living under a rock since 1999. 3. Runway - Find a nice flat stretch to take off from: The airport is of course the best place to take off from, but it can be done from a normal road (or sidewalk). - For those of you who use the first mentioned method of getting a Rhino: When you exit the Airbase with your newly acuired tank, go straight across the road, towards the white wall onto some brown colored surface, and then drive left down this stretch. Make a 180, and there you have it, a perfect runway. Now, read ahead for further instructions. getting started 1. Taking off - Adjusting the "jetcanon": The jetcanon is of course the turret of the Rhino. Use the right analog stick to turn the turret 180 degrees, so that it points directly backwards. - Taking off: Line up with the runway or stretch you are using, and start speeding up, by pressing X. Start shooting the jetcanon, by using O (circle). Now, pull a bit back in the left analog stick, and watch as the Rhino takes off. 2. Flying - When you're airborn: Release X, but keep shooting the jetcanon. This will keep you in the air. 3. Manouvering - Controls: The controls are basicly the same as when you're flying a Skimmer. A bit different though. Here's the controls: X = Throttle (when on ground) O = Throttle (when airborn) Square = Brake (when on ground) Triangle = Exit/Bail out (when on ground/airborn) R2/L1 = Look Right/Left R1 = Handbrake (when on ground) L3 = Horn (when on ground/airborn) R3 = Start "Vigilante" mission Down/Left analog stick down = Pull up (when airborn) Left/Left analog stick left = Turn left (when on ground/airborn) Right/Left analog stick right = Turn right (when on ground/airborn) 4. Landing - The easy one: The landings are always fun. Find a pretty long flat surface to land on. Slow down by stop pressing O. Before making contact with the ground, hold R1+Square. This will help you break when landing. Now, try to level out your flyingpath, and as soon as your close to ground, push the left analog stick up and hold it there, making the Rhino hit the ground several times depending on the airspeed. But eventualy, you'll come to a complete stop. Isn't that comforting. - On a rooftop: Practice the above before trying this. Well, it's basicly the same as described above, but here you have to be very presice. If you over shoot the rooftop, you'll probably be able to recover, and turn around to try again, but if you under shoot it, meaning crashing into the wall of the building. The results might be fatal. The trick is to lower your speed just enough to make it onto the rooftop, litteraly climbing up the edge. Practice this abit, you'll get it right eventualy. stunts 1. Loop-de-Loop - How to pull it off: First you need to get up pretty high, then, push left analog stick forward, and stop pressing O, to go into dive. Now, pull the left analog stick all the way back, and start pressing O again. You should gain altitude quickly again, and then start tilting backwards towards the screen. Then it will start to dive once again, and in most cases, it will start turning right a bit. Don't panic, just let it flow, and then stable it once it's leveled out. 2. Corckscrew !! coming very soon !! 3. Super dive !! coming very soon !! 4. The spiral !! coming very soon !! alternatives 1. Water proof - To land the thing on water: Punch in the "cars float on water" code to be able to land on water, "Right, R2, Circle, R1, L2, Square, R1, R2". It's a huge advantage. Now you don't have to fear crashing down into the water. eventual complications 1. Maneuverability - RhinoGliding can be tricky: You may experience that the Rhino won't turn left or right sometimes. This is normaly after a dive or a smaller drop in height. To solve this, turn a bit in the opposite direction, and make a smaller dive, then pull up again. The trick is to make the Rhino fly with the nose a bit up, and the rear down. 2. Landings on water - Don't ever try to do a vertical dive into the water, thinking that you'll just pop up, and land back on the wheels. You won't! The Rhino will tip back over and land on it's roof, making you unable to recorver. 3. Cheats - Don't save with them on: The required cheats, lower your criminal rating, and can in some situations cause several glitches to ruin your chances of getting 100%. Be smart, and restart your PS2 when your done RhinoGliding. limits 1. In height - How high can you go: There's no limits in height. 2. In width - How far can you go: It's the same as with the helicopters. || Pictures || This might help a bit, finding good loactions to take off from, lining up landings, and manouvering in mid-air. takeoff 1. Near Fort Baxter - Picture A - Picture B - Picture C 2. At the airport - Picture A - Picture B - Picture C 3. From the water - Picture A - Picture B - Picture C 4. At the beach - Picture A - Picture B - Picture C in mid-air 1. Above the stadium !! coming very soon !! 2. Very high up !! coming very soon !! 3. Nose-dive !! coming very soon !! 4. Loop-da-loop !! coming very soon !! setting it down 1. On the airport runway !! coming very soon !! 2. Rooftop !! coming very soon !! 3. On water !! coming very soon !! 4. Non-solid rooftop !! coming very soon !! || Movies || Hell yeah! I'm gonna record some movies. The quality is bad, the content is great. Live with it. stunt sequences 1. Loop-de-Loop !! coming soon !! 2. Attempting "The spiral" !! coming soon !! crashes 1. Nose-dive into the water !! coming soon !! 2. Nose-dive into a road !! coming soon !! bail-outs 1. From 500+ meters !! coming soon !! 2. Into the water from insane height !! coming soon !! END OF DOCUMENT This is really entertaining. There's a lot of fun to squeeze out of this... so get squeezing!

itsjake88 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 It seems just like GTA3. Why dont you just fly a dodo? Flying a tank is kind of gay cuz it looks bad. At least a dodo looks good (especially with the full winged mod). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Gnobe- Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 well, a flying tank can do a few more things than the dodo in the air, like, being able to see the whole map from the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjake88 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 There is a mod so that the dodo can drop bombs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
