Planes take you wherever you need to go, and they do it fast. You don’t have to go through traffic-jammed streets or cut through the city through narrow shortcuts just to get you quickly where you need to be. Planes are available for players starting from Grand Theft Auto III up to the present version of the game’s franchise.
Steps
-
Board the plane. You can board an airplane the same way you get inside a car; just stand beside the aircraft and press the Triangle button on your PlayStation controller to board it. -
Take off. Press your finger and hold the R2 button on the topside of your PlayStation controller and the airplane will start to move towards the direction it’s facing. Once it gains enough speed, the plane will start to lift off the ground. Hold down the R2 button until you get to your desired altitude.Advertisement -
Steer the plane. Use the left analog stick to control the movement of the plane. You can move up, down, left, or right by simply using the left analog stick on your PlayStation controller. -
Yaw. To quickly change the direction the plane is flying, press the L1 button to make a quick yaw to the left or the R1 button to yaw the plane to the right. -
Fire the airplane’s weapons. Military-type airplanes, like the Hydra, have built-in guns and missiles that you can use to shoot at enemies. Press the X button on your PlayStation controller to fire these weapons and take down your target. -
Change camera angles. Just like driving cars, you can change the view of the camera while flying planes just by pressing the right analog stick. -
Land the aircraft. If you can’t find a landing strip, you can try to land on open fields or long straight roads without any cars to crash into. Once you’ve sighted the place you’re going to land, press the L2 button to slow down the aircraft. Steer the plane as you descend with the left analog stick and press it to draw out the plane’s undercarriage to land properly.

QuestionHow can I fly a dodo in GTA 3 liberty city?Vinícius VitkovskiCommunity AnswerYes, but the it's a bit hard and the flight doesn't last long if you don't steer it properly. Go to the Shoreside airport and the the dodo on the end of the runway. Get the dodo on the runway, line it up and then start to accelerate, hold up so that the front part of the plane is scraping on the ground. After a while it will start sparking. When you get to the end of the runway let go of up. The plane will start to fly and gain height. After this point do not press up or down. As long as you don't do that the plane will not fall. To steer, gently tap left/right.
