MAD_BOY Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 yup, you have, here it is we want more dodo's in gta3! since there are much people flying (or trying to), 3 dodo's is a bit less for it i think you allready knew, but i just wanted to post it (cause i didn't see it anywhere) *does a weeeeeeeeee* Link to comment
orappa Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Is it true what people are saying about being unable to fly dodos in 0.4? I tried, but it wouldn't even glide - just kept falling back to earth again. Link to comment
Iggy Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 No its just the same as single player, dodos are fun Link to comment

I tried, but it wouldn't even glide - just kept falling back to earth again. No dodos are flyable just noobs dont know how to fly them .. or newbies the trick is to press the dodo wing down . and get a little speed then insted of pressing the dodo wing down key . tap it after u get speed . the dodo will rise . if it rises too quickly tap it longer..

DominionSpy Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 [FMJ]Oli and I had fun getting to Staunton and Shoreside Vale with a Dodo yesterday. Oli took like 80 screenshots or something - shame we couldn't get out of the Dodo Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 *cough*iwastheirpilot*cough* PROFECIONAL DODO GUIDE WITH PICTURES AND VIDEOS Link to comment
DominionSpy Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 *cough*iwastheirpilot*cough* No you weren't - we got over there quite a while before you gave me a demo of your flying. The first time we got over there I was the pilot - I think I remember Gonna look at that guide though - I can't the hang of actually flying it - I tend to glide to the next island [update]Black Dragon, that tutorial is very good - I believe I have mastered the basics of flying the Dodo now. I have tried before using other tutorials, but none were as clear and comprehensive as yours - thank you[/update] Link to comment
Slothman Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 speaking of which: Black_Dragon's tutorial can now also be found at the VCK website go here http://vck.servebeer.com/news.html then click on "tips" and the tutorial will be there. this is amazing how well this was done, he even included videos Link to comment
+FKU+VVolven Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Props to BD, his tutorial's the best, I couldn't do more than quick hops in them, now I can fly for a few minutes. /advertisment Still doing the n00b landing though. (read: flying down and crashing into pavement ) Link to comment
DominionSpy Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I have actually perfected a gentle landing now, rather than the vertical landing Black Dragon suggests in his tutorial. Basically, when you push the nose up you lose speed, but if you push it too far you stall it and crash down, so you need to push it up to just before it would stall and you get a perfect descent. You do need a long landing strip though like the runways or a long straight road. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Me too, its much more realistic and satisfying to swoop in and drift to a gentle rolling halt on your runway of choice, and more difficult than a stall/flip landing. Another favourite is to use s suitable piece of scenery as a brake. no i DONT mean flying into a building!, i mean swooping down and catching one of your wheels on the edge of paving to veer around to a halt, or as i did yesterday, lodging one in the sea-side corner of the sea wall below mafia hill, making the dodo spin on a dime to a stop rather than plunge into the icy depths. My passenger was speechless Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Ive opened up a tour "business" with a couple of friends or (pilots) of mine .. This is how we work . we bitchpack a dodo , and take like 5 people to see ghost town and stuff . the tour is quick . but worth a trie . we also give rides to other islands . we have professinal pilots and all . its all just for fun tough , its also fun when u have like 5 people on a plane and the weather turbulence takes it down . lol Anyways . i was flying yesturday . and a MAJOR fog arrived . i donno how i did it . but i was able to stay 10 secs in air . before all the wind . took me down . i did record a video tough .. its inpossible to tell were the sea was . and if u were going like sideways or something ..

Ransom Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Dodo flying really isnt too hard, you just gotta know that you press DOWN and not up. If you're not getting any height advantage on takeoff, you just start going, hold down, then when you see sparks (front end starting to go towards ground) you just hold a second or two more and then lift off, keep tapping down, never up and you can't go wrong. And if you hold down too long during the sparks your plane will be slowed dramatically so you can retry. I've still have to try landing, I never really bothered cause I just crash and get out usually But it sounds fun. I hope the skimmer gets into MTAVC someday, that would also be fun to have a few of them. Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 ransom , u just gave me a grate idea . make a mod for gtavc (offline mod) that has both airplanes .. and a bunch of places to fly . so u can do like this fliying world kinda thing u know .. LOL Link to comment

'like a babys ass' would be an apropriate sentance 6.8 The Dodo's nose is now going to head down, but you should be low enough just in time so that the Dodo would touch down with the ground in a perfect landing. Sorry - from that and the way I've seen you land, I thought you meant stall the engine and land vetically. The way I do it, I never have the nose heading down. Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 i knew it! you got it all wrong! try it sometimes, even not to land: hold up in a low speed. after that the nose goes up, it will stop going up, and start heading slowely down. when you do this from a low hight, the nose goes down just in time for a perfect smooth land. clear enough now?

-SM-Bryce Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 oooOOOOOooo I get it now... ok, yea, i just tried it, its pretty slic but i use Dom's more ofen . Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 mine's easyer erm actually its slightly harder but if you follow it correctly then you land RIGHT when you want it to land. Link to comment
