This plane is amazing in size alone. You find it at LV Airport in a lone hangar. It looks quite small but once you look up when it's hanger doors are lowering you feel so small. Once these enormous doors have lowered, it unveils a enormous piece of machinery. The AT-400, or for the real world a Boeing 727. I always was wishing for a jumbo jet to make it into the game and well I got more then I was wishing for. This thing is humongous!(I've said it enough times:lol: ) I will show pictures but I can tell you right now. Two and a half Freeways could is the equivalent to one of its engines. The tail wing could almost fit a Linerunner. The wheels are as big as a linerunners. The door to get in is equivalent to three and a half CJs. Now once you go up the ramp to reach the door to this beheemeth you first are in awe at the size of the door like I explained above. Then you briefly see the cockpit then you get the same effect as the Shamal, a jet sound. You need to adjust the camera view to back out the plane out of the hangar. Once you get it on the runway it suprisingly almost take as much time as the dodo to lift off. once you do you feel nothing really even though you are going probably two times the speed of the Shamal's speed. Once I've got really low to one of the highways and one wing started from one side of the highway and ended at the other side. That highway was four lanes wide... on each side! Anyways landing, yes landing the thing. It is hard as hell, one because you don't notice how fast you are going untill you are 20 feet off the ground about to land, second even if you are slowing down 5 miles before landing it's still going extremely fast for landing and you need to know how to land real well to land the AT-400. Once you have don't just jump out, you'll never get back in. Unless you find a ramp of some sort high enough to reach the door. Once you're out you can't go very far before it goes away. So basically it's for fun to stall and then jump out and parachute.

Pics to come...
 
Has anyone noticed at all that I wrote that? Says right there.:dunce: Anyways imageshack is acting up so I cannot show you. I'll try tomorrow and you can access it as soon as you get into LV Airport.
 
I found this massive jet a while ago. At first I was like "You've got to be kidding me, can I actually fly that beast?". I find it actually quite boring to fly. It takes off way too suddenly and you don't really get a sence of speed. It is kind of fun to try and land it in the middle of downtown LV, though.

I know. I was amazed too once I first saw the hanger then the plane itself. I laughed when I saw I had to use the ramp to enter it.:lol:
 
It does respawn right?

And does it go higher than all others and also...does it come in anything besides red and white?

Sry bout so many questions. Not like I could change the color anyway. lol
 
That's amazing. You can hardly see the Freeway in that screenshot. Someone should park the Shamal (Private Jet) next to it, compare them. ;)
 
I don't think it goes extraordinarily high, probably just as much as the Shamal or Hydra. And the only other color I've seen it in is black.
 
Jimmy, I have a picture of it next to the Nevada but i'm on another computer due to posting problems.:grumpy:

Mclaren, they come in different colors not just red or black. They come in red or blue or green or black I guess. It does go higher then the Shamal. It goes the highest you just need to climb then go straight then climb again it just needs speed to climb. You just stand right infront of the huge big ass hanger and the door will lower, takes awhile for it's size. Only once has it not respawned when I got there. Most likely it's there.
 
In a corner in LV Airport. You cannot miss it. It's in a corner, it's big and it's a loner. When you stand practically touching the door it will lower. Not go up, not slide sideways go down. Once you do just back right up, DO NOT TURN until the wings are clear out of the hanger. I imagine it will damage the wings.
 
No it won't. Trust me. It got hit by two SAM missles and the first one hit made some black smoke the second one hit and nothing effected the plane at all. Never blew up. Landed it and got out of the airport. It's a tuff plane.;)
 
I would imagine because of how puny it is. IMO it's the hardest plane to fly next to the AT-400. The Shamal can out run a SAM if you manuver it correctly.
 
Dodo isn't hard to find. I heard the VTOL (avoid spoiler) is hard to fly.

What do you press to take off vertically?
 
I said it was hard to fly. Ah that thing. I wish I could gain access to that. Sounds like major fun!
 
The Shamal is the easiest plane to fly and the most enjoyable in my opinion. It's quite manuverable for it's size.
 
It's the easiest, but not the most enjoyable if you like a challenge. I like that old war plane you use for "N.O.E" and some of the tests. Don't know the name though. I also like the Stunt Plane. Haven't flown the Dodo except for in the Pilot School. Where do you find it?
