that the UFO is vulnerable to stalling despite not having wings (or indeed any apparent kind of Earthly propulsion) is some hot bullshit, imho

"So why don't you just fly the fuel plane out to the airport and land next to me?" "That airport's unmanned." "Sure, but we can both fly there. Then I refuel on the ground, you come back here." "No, this plane's designed for mid-air refueling." "Yes, but that doesn't mean you have to do it that way. It'd be a lot safer down on the ground." "On the ground where, though?" "At the airport past the rocks." "But it's unmanned. Nobody there."

I can imagine a harder version of this mission that explains the tanker's engines and damage and it can't fly above the top of the rocks so I hope you're good at turning.

I'm not sure if you're just doing it for fun, but you don't have to do missions to get the secret runways. You can just go in free flight mode and land on the runway with unlimited fuel. I think the manual mentions it.

Where would you carry concrete weights in your plane?

Disappointed they didn't give you a hot air balloon to fly, as a gag. Unless they do as an unlockable. The balloon mission did make a nice change, having an objective that has a straightforward reason for a plane to be doing it, rather than basically being a sick dare.

The strip mine has windmills because it's run and owned by the Dutch, and that's just how they strip mines.

Maybe the windmills were there before the strip mine?

Up against the other canyon (and canyon-like) mission this one had a few things going on at least. The collapses happened at a time when it might actually be dangerous and the path actually got slightly narrow in parts. It's... something.

I got to ask - when your ending runway is actually two runways on the map, crossing over each other, can you land on either one to finish the map?
|
# ? Apr 23, 2020 04:57 |

Either works. It's missing the runway completely that kills you.

Ooooh, so the way to Destin is to head directly toward it. Truly the creators of these ancient ruins were geniuses.

From a gameplay standpoint, I feel like that pontoon thing is absolute bullshit. They're making it extremely difficult/impossible to do the thing you're supposed to do for improving your score, and I feel like that's a pretty lame decision. (I'm referring specifically to the weight loving up your barrel rolls)

Thanks for the LP. While this game might be a little repetitious with its obstacles and level design, it's still one of my favorite PS2 games. I would love to see a game like this made again with more varying obstacles and mechanics. I could have sworn there was an unlockable for getting all A+ circle ranks, but it seems like you just need to get 10 to unlock the corsair. I actually ground out a circle rank in Over the Falls by flying at low altitude in the starting area.

I was thinking I would like to have seen one of the other final mission choices, but deep inside I know it's just all canyons. Canyons beyond canyons, slowly filling with debris hurled in by some bored and uncaring god.

I would not have voted for the obvious canyon level if I had known the game was nothing but canyon levels. Ah well, it ends much the same as it always was.

A shame, I was hoping for a lot more variety than there was. There's just so much you can do with stunt flying. Oh well, it was interesting to see one of these games that passed me by. Thanks.
