How I beat RC: PLANE MISSION in 1 try

[alm4rr]

This is the easiest mission in the entire game, but took about 10-15 mins total.
Don't read if you don't want to know...



Start off by flying to whichever target and get close enough to land somewhere on same street. That is the last time you fly until the end. Now just drive the plane around in reverse, using the rudder controls to steer just like a car. Most cars won't bother you and you can stay in the trolly tracks on many streets. When you get close enough (or long enough for a car to come your way, just turn around and use the machine guns (which auto aim!) instead of trying to drop bombs. All you have to do is basically drive the plane as a drive-by autoaiming shooting machine. It took about 15 mins for this mission, most of getting to the cars, or meeting them halfway. The reason it works is there is no time limit, the plane is pretty invulnerable, and the plane uses NO GAS while driving!

And to get back on the roof, just back into the park a bit across from Z's, accelerate to get some air, and plop it back on the roof.

Cheers

Ill try that later but the plane is very flimsy in my experience.

BUMP.

Just completed the mission flying backwards half the time.

I used ~1/4 of my gas tank and took out all the couriers in about 30 mins.

First attempt, one of the couriers pumped my plane with lead and it kind of, well... exploded.

I just tried the mission after it.... Never again! I seriously hope I dont have to do that. I couldnt figure out how to fly forwards

wow, it was SOOOOOOOOO much harder for ps2... there was a time limit and you had a certain amount of gas...

there is no time limit, but there is a fuel limit... however, the plane doesn't burn gas unless it is flying. If you are driving around, it won't burn any gas

I did something similar, but I didn't drive in reverse, I merely stayed on the ground or slightly above going forwards.
