wexsuvslim Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i absolutely love this game but the flying is killing me is there a way to slow down and speed up? i also don't fully understand what the right and left bumpers do i realize that they move the plane slightly left or right but what's the purpose of that? i am on the trevor mission and i have to land my damn plane and i am having quite a lot of trouble doing it i managed to land once but then i crashed into the river i feel like an idiot but this flying shit is driving me bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerchronic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Right trigger is accelerate, letting it go slows the engines, left trigger is the so called brake. RB and LB is the rudder controls, in the air its easier to correct small movements using this and on the ground its the only way to make the plane turn. You can make some pretty rough landings as long as you slam on the breaks as your coming in, i quite like the flying in this, it feels (i imagine as i dont fly lol) more realistic than San Andreas was, in that you could perform some crazy things and pull out, this feels a bit more shaky, at least the plane i am in at the moment (gun running).

wexsuvslim Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 thanks, i just failed again as i type this, lol all i want to do is land this stupid ass plane and move on i will love flying once i figure it out but now that i know LT slows me down, i think i may be able to figure this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerchronic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Make sure you are putting the landing gear down aswell lol Click the left stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexsuvslim Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 now i did know to drop the landing gear, lol i'm getting closer now, just having trouble getting it lined up correctly and then once i'm able to land it, i can't seem to stop the plane before it runs off the runway and into the river behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm still trying to get used to of the flying in this game. The choppers are fine but the jets can be a little tough at times. I'll press LB to steer left and push the LS a little to the left and the plane suddenly does a barrel roll and next thing I know I'm in a dive..ding! Wasted.

JORDAN K 95 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 just slow your plane right down and line it up, youll be fine my opinions on flying? its great, but when youre not with trevor it randomly goes to the left or right. and most planes are slow, except for the fighter jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexsuvslim Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 holy shit, i finally managed to land the plane i still don't fully understand the flying mechanics but i did find that holding down B to focus on the runway helps me line up the landing better it also seems that lb and rb work well to do minor adjustments before landing once i hit the ground i kinda just pressed all the buttons at the same time so i actually don't know which button actually slowed me down i have notice a couple people have mentioned slowing the plane down before landing with the LT but that doesn't seem to slow my plane down when i use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Man I don't know how many times I failed a mission just because I couldn't land the damn plane. I know how it works now and helps a lot once you are close to the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerchronic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i have notice a couple people have mentioned slowing the plane down before landing with the LT but that doesn't seem to slow my plane down when i use it It cuts the engines almost totally off, so depends how fast you come in and when you let go of RT. Unlike Passenger planes they dont go in reverse So its a mix of air force and lack of forward power that slows you, glide it in basically. First time i did it i missed half the runway and as i didnt notice it was so close and still managed to land so its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexsuvslim Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 i am definately starting to get a bit better now but it's gonna take some serious practice to get good at it i love flying but hate landing so i think my solution to the problem is to have fun flying around but when it comes time to vacate the plane i will just jump out and parachute safely to the ground...
