Longest flight in Dodo...?

masterlink · 06-04-2002, 11:04 AM

Well...the topic speaks for itself...
Mine is 35 seconds...It would have been longer but I hit a support beam on the Callahan Bridge and never got that far again...
My shortest is 2 seconds...

06-04-2002, 02:38 PM

47 Seconds. It was so fun... I wish I could do it again. I ended up landing in an alleyway.

I flew for two minutes before my plane got stuck on one of the Super jumps. Everything was going slowmotion in cinematic mode, and I couldn't control it.

It really bothers me that I can't get the thing to fly anymore. It seems like I'm doing the same thing as before, but it slowly goes up, and if I try to level it out BAM, it falls.

masterlink · 06-05-2002, 05:00 PM

Yeah. I ducked under the support beam the other night and flew through a unique jump thing. I couldn't steer right, and I hit a building. But it still ended up being 35 seconds. >

11 seconds!!! Is there some strategy to lifting that thing in the air! I wanna fly, i wanna fly!!!

Seriously, i stink at flying

I don't know what's gotten into me. No matter how hard I try to fly the stupid thing it always crashes into the water. I followed the FAQ dead-on, and then no matter what, even if I level out the plane, SPLOOSH. It herdles down into te water.

3 seconds. I only found it twice. Once i got pissed cause i couldn't get it over the fence so i blew it up with my rocket launcher and left.

25 seconds. Crashed right into a police car.

Here are some tips to let you fly. First of all I'm using analog stick, if you using D-pad directions would be reversed.
1. get onto a runaway wihtout any planes trying to lift up or land (they interfere with your vision)
2. Press x and the forward (keep holding both). Try to go through the middle of the runway.
3. Once you see sparks fly from under your wheels let go of the anolog stick (keep holding x). Press one of the shoulder buttons for a sideview. You should try and keep your plane leveled.
4. If your plane starts deeping down, press forward on a stick for 2 seconds then let it go. This will execut a dive and after a few seconds your plane will start gaining altitude again.
5. Maneuvering the plane. If you want to turn trie to do it slowly or your plane will go into a wheelbarrow and then you can't recover.

42 seconds. Make sure when you come from off the runway, you don't go all the way right...that'll freeze your game.

My tip: You should never move the analog stick back.

108 seconds. Its seriously not that hard.

08-07-2002, 06:35 PM

1140 seconds. About 19 minutes. I got bored and crashed it into the stadium.

WEAPON · 08-07-2002, 09:29 PM

Man, I probably couldn't stand flying for 5 min, let alone 19.

08-08-2002, 07:38 AM

Man, I can't keep it up for any more than 11 seconds now. If I let it elevate too much, it crashes, if I even it out with the ground (like the FAQs say to do) it crashes... ERRRRGH.

Ok, take off, TAP down to make the nose of the plane a bit lower, then TAP to turn corners. Never press or tap up unless its urgent.

08-09-2002, 06:49 AM

Are you talking about the anolog stick or the D-pad, because the controls are reversed.

08-11-2002, 12:34 AM

I'm pretty sure its the D-Pad I'm talking about. I have the PC Version, and in the controls I have it set to:

Numpad 2: Dodo nose down
Numpad 8: Dodo nose up

Hold the dodo nose down button, until the front wheel sinks into the plane, then let go. You'll take off. From then on, only use tapping methods.

08-11-2002, 09:39 PM

I can't get off the ground I don't understand it............

08-13-2002, 01:05 PM

Keep the nose all the way down. Go full throttle from the end of the run way. After a while the plane'll pick up on its own after a while. Gently, and in short, timed taps, straighten the plane out. That's how I do it.
