GTA: SA Hlp

[Tel Aviv]

Picked up the PC version San Andreas not too long ago, enjoying CJ's endeavours very much. One problem though, I can't bloody fly. I've just purchased the desert airfield and I'm having a lot of trouble progressing.

 

So if anyone has any advice (beyond "burn your keyboard...buy a controller") I'd be very appreciative. I'm not above outright cheating either, I'm the lowest of the low.

Left hand on the WASD keys, right hand on the arrow keys. Control speed with left hand, control up/down left/right with right hand. Remember to fold up your landing gear right after take off with the 2-key. Oh, and when you want to manouvre the plane on the ground, steer it left and right with the Q and E keys instead, otherwise you tip the plane.

 

PRACTICE! )

I'm impatient!

 

But thanks, I'll have to try a few techniques. I guess its just a matter of perfecting the turning.

I expected it from someone but not from you meta, never from you.

Yes practice is the key. I was very frustrated with it too at first, I even let my girlfriend touch my computer to try it just so i could pull her hair for doing sush a piss poor job!

Standerd controls are poor for flying. My flying keys:

 

Up:S

Down:W

Gas: Up

Brake: Down

Steering: Left and Right

Gear up/down: Numpad 0

 

Piece of cake. For heli's

Q: Up

A: Down

Steering: Numpad keys 8, 4, 6 and 2 (5 in VC, but SA doesn't take 5 unless you install "Bye bye coffee patch" , and I am not planning on doing that )

The best you can do for flying is just throwing the ****ing monitor out the damn window, then spit on it, and give it the middle finger.

 

 

 

 

 

Then you can walk outside with a sledge hammer and beat the4 **** out of it for 20 minutes while listening to heavy metal.

Always find it odd so many people have trouble flying with PC controls. The amount of times asked for help during "Flight School" or VC's "Demolition man" is so amazingly high for such easy assignments...

I had more trouble with all the other schools than with this one...

Well, I only added it after you rejected the very reasonable advice and assistance of my fellow forumites.

 

Given your new stated position and level of patience, there is little else to do except by a game pad.
