Can anybody tell me how to fly the dodo plane in GTA3. I tried but could not keep it in the air for more than 5 seconds and that too very near to the ground. I tried in some guides but they were related to psx and they told more about techniques without referring to the buttons used.
Post the full technique with proper oreder of buttons used. Please post it for PC version not PSX.
Well first of all the dodo cant fly for more than 25 sec before it hops down to the ground , but i hav seen experienced users fly it for much much longer time, the ability of the dodo to fly long distances were taken out after 9/11 attacks by
ROCKSTAR GAMES &
DMA DESIGNS . see the link given

Now for ur query,
Flying the dodo:-
all the keys here represents the numberpad keys, Eg:- 6 , 9. etc
================TAKEOFF================
Get the Dodo on a nice, straight piece of road or runway, I suggest the latter until you are more experienced, then hold the "6" key on the keyboard. Accelerate down the runway while holding the button until you hear a scraping noise, then let go of the "6" button and the Dodo will start to lift off the floor. You must then quickly correct the Dodo and make sure that it's nose does not point too high in the air, or it will stall and you will fall out of the sky. While taking off, it is also a good idea to switch to the side view, as it will help you define when the nose of the plane is too high.
================TURNING================
Turning should be a gentle, calm motion and should not be attempted too quickly. You mustn't hold either of the turning buttons, as it will turn too quickly and you will run the risk of turning the whole Dodo over, which will result in you falling out of the sky. If you find that you have turned the Dodo too much, then you will have to correct the oversteer and turn the Dodo in the opposite direction. Turning is not that difficult once you get used to it, just remember to tap the keys and never hold them.
============GAINING ALTITUDE============
An easy way to gain altitude (height) would be to fly around the coasts of the islands, as the Dodo will be gaining altitude on it's own, as the nose of the Dodo will start to rise. Let it gain altitude for a couple of seconds, then tap "6" to level the plane out once more. Eventually, the Dodo will start flying at it's maximum height and it will stop loosing height every time you turn.
===============LANDING=================
When landing, make sure that you are level with what you want to land on and let go of the accelerator, then start tapping the "9" key to make the Dodo's nose rise slowly. Do not press the "9" key to make the Dodo's nose rise, or it will rise too high and land like a helicopter. If you are doing this right, the Dodo should be gradually loosing altitude and you should be coming in level with the runway/road that you are landing on. When the Dodo touches down, apply the brakes and the Dodo should come to a halt.
=======================================
