View Full Version : Airplanes in VCS?
WEll as it looks like in the new screens therewill deffinatly be helicopters, lots of them, and even a new coastguard one. But what about airplanes? VC had a couple. VCS should have more.

Ok. Vice City only had the Skimmer. But I read in a preview Vic would be able to pilot Jets. Ill try and find a link for it. It was one of the really recent Online Previews. So check out this thread (http://www.gtagaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t= 77120).
Edit: Found it in the IGN preview
Vance can tear through the skies in a number of aircraft such as helicopters and jets.

Great, I hope we do get jets. The overall vehicle list is looking great for this game.

If vic gets jets then where will he be able to take them too, unlike cj he dosent have a choice of 3 airports to go to.
all youl do is circle vice city over and over again.

Doesn't matter, its just another vehicle to cruise around in except it flies.
It might not even be a fighter jet though, it could be a lear jet like the shamal, but I'm looking foward to flying them.

There were Shamals in Vice City. Except they were just parked at the airport and you couldnt enter them.

They were just still models though, no matter how many times you fired rockets at it, that bastard wasn't blowing up!

true. You couldn't even attempt to open the door. But i hope those doors open in VCS.
There were those large boeing aircraft models too, but that doesnt mean they'll be accessible this time. Faster plane like Shamal will be too fast for a smaller area like Vice City, but I guess they may think to add this too.
Skimmer and Dodo are the primary ones, I believe, will be added.

Well, some preview from IGN or Gamestop says something about jets and then: 'expect to have some dog fights in the sky of VC'
Hmm...were they hinting to a multiplayer mode? Could be.

Wow, dogfights would be the best! Hopefully there are a lot of other multiplayer modes as good as that.

Off-Topic: I reckon a cool little multiplayer would be a fist fight one. No guns and its only a small blocked off section of the map. Last man standing wins. Every man for himself and/or teams. Too bad I dont have a PSP so I wont be able to experience multi player.
On-Topic: I rekon they could add jets to the game. However Vice City is the smallest GTA city so there wouldnt be much point to them.

Well said.
Remember that the shamal still takes approx 1 minute to fly from one side of LS to the other. I haven't timed it recently but this seems close to what I did check a while back. It was about 1min 50 from one side of SA to the other in a Hydra, and about 10 minutes on foot (sprinting). I think a shamal would be realistic in VCS, if a tad unnecessary, I'd definatley love it.
Also, since there's a bigger focus on aircraft in VCS, is it possible we may see the parachute return?

Lol I dont know what your talking about. I timed it on my phone. It took me 18 minutes to run from Grove Street to the San Fierro Garage.

I timed it in a straight line from west to east. If you ran from the grove to the SF Dogherty garage you would have done alot of diagonals and turned alot of corners, probably following the streets in places etc, not a direct line. If you sprint in a direct line it should take approx 10 mins (I did this across the very north of SA, the only place where you can run in a straight line ans stay on land).

Ah yes. I followed the streets. Didnt want to get lost now did I. Although I wouldnt of.

dude in my opinion a plane would be gay u would go by the city in 10 seconds cause its so small u would have no where to land it so personally helicopters are just fine in my opion but ya it would jus be another vechile to add in the game if it was there jus to c a variety of stuff

i dont think they are adding the Planes as a mode of transportation but as means of fun against the police and fun on multiplayer.

Adding planes in VCS would be kind of useless. But it would give the game more realitic choices and it wouldnt be going a step back from San Andreas. I would like planes in the game as long as the draw distance is very high and you cant fly out as far as you want out at sea like in Sandreas.

Yeah...The Good "Ol" Days... I really hope they have parashutes agian in VCS it would add more fun to flying airplanes. *If they add any airplanes at all*...Which I hope they do.
