Everything Wrong With Airplanes in GTA V

I see the B52, AN227 and the C-5 Galaxy

[@DaRush-The_Soviet_Gamer]

Also 224 didn't have a rear cargo door, this has front and back, so it's most likely 124, not 224 based.

@@Byclops5712He meant that the in-game model was a disrespect to the real AN-225 due to the sheer number of inaccuracies. Obviously this was not a great joke, since the plane isn’t really based on the AN-225. However, he most likely did not mean that the irl plane’s destruction was what was disrespected.

[@NW255]

this might sound really nerdy and stuck up but fuck it, the reason the devs make the vehicles in game look different to the ones IRL is for cooyright reasons. They own the rights to the design of the vehicle so making a model of it in a video game without their permission would be a breach on copyright law.

[@emmeriankiwi6993]

This is where you get people who are obsessed over things do this. "Why does that car look like a Ferrari but is called a cheetah?" "Why does that A10 look like that?" Idk maybe because Rockstar doesn't want to pay copyrights to over 100+ Real world cars and aircraft. Could you imagine asking Lockheed Martin or Boeing to see if you can have their aircraft in the game. Don't get me wrong, I love GTA's aircraft and I totally get why they don't look realistic, but R* isn't going to spend the next 2-3 years detailing their vehicles to suit people's likes. If you want a real world aircraft, Get a Mod!.

Tbf the reused cockpits is probably done to save disk space, the game is big enough as is.

[@SpidaMez]

fair

[@ChristosSpyropoulos]

The Hydra actually takes more inspiration from Avpro's super Harrier proposal, an upgrade for the british harrier that includes a JSF stealth, jump jet design that gives the aircraft, another verticle stabiliser and has a low RCS, blended fuselage-nozzle type that provides afterburner, and can carry 4 more missiles underneath it's belly. It's an unorthodox design, but it is a way better JSF design proposal upgrade than the F-35's design.

[@callmetae6627]

Am i the only one who recognizes this series as satirical? Clearly the style comes from Cinemasins, so how did people take this completely seriously

[@GUSTJUSTFUST]

[@naughty_nobitaa]

[@Bahnfanatiker]

2:50 The Cargoplane is more based on the An-124, not the 225. This makes the amount of engines still too much, but the vertical stabilizer and the missing humps wouldn't be a mistake

[@JackMarston.1895]

The aircraft don't look identical on purpose.... would of preferred if you spoke about stuff like the flaws with their GTA designs instead of 'sinning' it for not completely copying it. I don't think GTA is your type of game if you only play for the vehicles and you only like vehicles identical to real life

[@d.c.a.035]

6:32 This is based off of the citation x not longitude, and in real life there are versions without winglets.

[@hikari2752]

The designs are different from real life to avoid copyright issues because they don't have license to use real airplane models in their games. 1:34 Idk if the registration is too long or not. 2:06 I'm surprised you didn't put a sin on the fact that the instrument panel of the 747 in the game is too simple and is suited for light training planes and modern airline jets have glass cockpit. This jet doesn't even have a PFD, MFD and autopilot. The Cargo Plane's cockpit is more modern and accurate for modern airliners. 2:28 "The Hydra or Lazer is obviously based on Harrier in real life" those two are different jets. 5:39 I like that you put a note that the lights on the left wing are for newer models of Cessna 172 since older models like 172M has lights like where the Mammatus' lights are 7:05 Better if it's FBI instead of Lockheed Martin. Anyway, I like that part to poke at the reference to classified information I like how Rockstar gave Alkonost stealth capabilities which will activate after reaching a certain altitude and above. The TU-160 was designed for reduced detectability to both radar and infrared signature, but it's not a stealth aircraft. The biggest sins should be Rockstar making the Cargo Plane unobtainable in free mode singleplayer and making it and the 747 unobtainable in free roam in Online, not to mention the Cargo Plane's turbine blades rotate despite being unobtainable while most obtainable jets have turbine blades which do not rotate. Is it too much for them to allow us to fly those planes in free roam in Online and the Cargo Plane in free mode in Singleplayer?

[@Denkmaldrubernacht]

I never thought in a decade someone would say the modernized cockpit of the AN225 just looks weird and doesn't like it that much, but here we are.

[@GabbieGirl007]

The nimbus isn't at all based off the longitude . It's primarily based off the Cessna citation X . And a mix of the Embraer Praetor 600(cockpit windows)

[@deathslasher1239]

Addendum: the Shamal’s instrument cluster displays the pitch and yaw incorrectly, being flipped for some reason. The Alkanost’s wings, despite clearly having the slotting and mechanism for it, are not able to sweep to the rear position like the Tu-160.

[@easttexasaviation]

4:52 surprisingly, Rockstar got the interior correct for the RJ contrary to what is mentioned in the video. Most regional carriers such as SkyWest and Air Wisconsin that operate(or used to operate) the 200 ran them in 2-2 configs.Some carriers may have a few in a 2-1 configuration, but I believe you may have mixed up the interior description with the slightly narrower ERJ-135/140/145 which is run in a 2-1 configuration.

[@andrewsmith1655]

Having been stuffed in many CRJ2s, I can say with confidence they are a 2-2 configuration in RJ service, although a very uncomfortable 2-2 configuration.

[@jakoot733]

5:06 the MiG-19 that you show is actually a MiG-17, however the tail resembles the F-86 because of its "all-flying" tailplane design. the MiG-17 had a "Cruciform" tail design which has the Horizontal stabilizer intercept the vertical tail to create a cross like configuration. in game its closest version could be the MiG-17F due to the afterburner.

[@bct_planespotter5598]

1. It's called a rudder, not a yaw. Yaw is the movement of the aircraft, not the control surface 2. Not all stalls lead to spins, a spin is an uncoordinated stall 3. The C172S has landing lights on both wings 4. Older C172 variants have landing lights behind the propeller

[@SpidaMez]

no cessna has older landing lights with the wing landing lights, though

[@HFJON3]

1:19 Now, I'm an all time 747 fan so I'm here to point out some mistakes you didn't point out: -The nose landing gear doors are way too long compared to the real life plane -The windows are a little bit too small -The front section of the plane is just too smooth compared to the real life plane, almost like the 787 -The winglets are bigger than normal -On the Air Herler livery, the aft exit doors are not painted, so they're just completely white -For some reason, the Economy section's (located at the rear) windows is missing a window -No luggage bay doors -Last, but not least, theres 6 rows of windows missing on the rear of the aircraft just before the aft doors. Anyway, that's all folks
