Excellent.
Spent 4hrs yesterday just pedalling around being a "homie".
Ate lots of fried chicken, worked out and spent money on clothes. Robbed a house, kicked an old lady in the head and emptied a tin of spray paint into some gang members faces.

I feel influenced and corrupted already.

Ok, I misjudged a little - but I still kinda stick by my opinion. ;-) The plane you learn with is complete crap. But since then I've flown a larger plane (not a 747 though) and a sea plane which were actually nice to fly.

The heli was crap in the training too, dunno if any of the others will control better. At least I know theres a couple of planes that don't come with a lusty attraction to cliffs.

I swear, with that training plane, the slightest touch and it dives better than an Argie football player !

I got 5 stars hopped on a BMX and started bunny hopping over spike traps and road blockades today. Was very fun.

Hah, I did exactly the same thing.

The plane missions can be a bit of a pain, wait till you try the 747, it is massive

Hur hur

I saw a Mr Whoopie Ice Cream Van driving along near the beach the other day, so I pulled it over to the side of the road and realised there was a clown driving it. Needless to say I dragged him out and beat him to death with a baseball bat.

Good times!

The planes are very easy to control on the PC version, the Helis are a bit crap though.

Haven't been back to it though, since Battlefield 2 showed up.

The controls for the planes suck balls. Hate watching the poxy vid of this cpu plane flying perfectly, only for me to struggle just to keep the piece of crap in a straight line. The developers seem obsessed in having to always make planes handle like mongtards in every GTA game.

For me its just completely spoilt my fun. Really don't like the idea of being forced to fly planes in order to progress. For all the hassle those planes are, it'd be quicker to just drive and swim wherever I need to go.

Whoevers responsible for the planes and how they handle, I hope he either gets violently struck by lightning. Or somehow gets set on fire. And is left screaming and burning on the floor. Very slowly.

It was a tip, I found it the best part of the game.

Well, a guy spends 2 days trying the same mission (in betweens random acts of cruelty to vent his anger) and a snarky comment doesn't tend to sit very well.
But I've done it now, so alls well.
Except I'm up for work in 4hrs and I'm not sleep at all.

That's what I was doing wrong, I was right next to the train.
I stayed to the right of the rails and did it 1st attempt.
*smacks head*

Am now busy starting turfwars and taking a girlfriend on drive-by shootings.
