Hey iGTA5.com. I've been thumbing through yer posts far to long too not join the conversation.
Due to renewed curiosity and lack of a properly working game system, I've been replaying GTA SA. I wanted to measure to map in game, so I decided to fly along the entire coast line of San Andreas in a Rustler (the one that looks like a WWII Spitfire). It took just short of 8 minutes.
I bring this up because San Andreas had 10 different types of plane, ranging from stunt planes and passenger planes, to the beloved military Hydra, in a world with three major airports, an aircraft carrier, your own personal landing strip, and a lonely landing strip for a crop duster.
How does this compare to GTA5? The planes they have revealed so far are a cropduster, a military fighter jet, and a private passenger plane. What types of airport or landing strips do these aircraft work practically with? We can count on an LAX, or LSX, being in Los Santos, and at least one airfield, away from LS, for private planes. Also we can look forward to a dirt runway a farm.
All this makes me wonder, how many major airports will GTA5 have? Will there be a military airfield, or will the aircraft carrier docked in San Fierro make a cameo appearance? How much time will I spend flying the coast line in a stolen plane?
I hope this adds more than it clutters.
Also, I live in LA and have little to do. If local pictures are needed for further GTA investigation, I'd be happy to help.
