It's starting to piss me off, I'm doing the training mission where you have to bank around then land, I've done it in like 117 seconds, just shy of 2 minutes, yet only got 67% and I need 70% continue. Ridiculous how hard they made it, and the thing is so sensitive that the smallest touch sends it off course, and I can't do any other missions until I master this crap.

On the other hand, while I continue to ignore those training missions, the government guy keeps calling and threatening me, telling me how he put my brother in a cell with a new cellmate who's going to slam 8km worth of meat into my brother.

That's why I got the XBOX version. I researched it and found out the plane flying is a nightmare on the PC. Get a gamepad....it'll go VERY easy.

You need to have the right touch. Use your thumb in a circular pattern....slow...then FAST!

I have a gamepad, gonna try with that. After practicing for like an hour I managed to barely pass the plane missions, only to have to go through crappy helicoptor ones, in which the camera lags horribly and makes it hard to aim :(

Oh good grief, first $50 for the game, now I'm going to have to spend more for a flight stick or go dig out the Logitech flight stick from the closet. Wonder if XP even works with serial port joysticks. *sigh*

I'm stuck at either doing the stupid dancing thing or the mission where you kill all the russian guys then jump on a motorcycle and kill a bunch more chasing. I always get killed after that truck comes down in the ravine.:disgust:

Took me 4 tries just to figure out where the controls were for it, once I did it was a snap. I beat the dancing one easy too, just use WASD on that one, all about timing.

I've gotten past all that stuff, just past the San Fiero/Red County bunch too, starting on the new flying missions. The stats claim I'm only 60% through or something like that though :(
