Minimal Coding Led to Hilarious Plane Crashes in GTA San Andreas, Says Ex-Rockstar Developer
- Former Rockstar developer explains that code to detect obstacles for planes in GTA San Andreas was minimal, sometimes causing crashes
- Planes would lose height due to insufficient initial speed to generate lift
- Collision issues occurred when map models weren't loaded before planes spawned
- These factors sometimes put planes on "doomed flightpaths," leading to crashes
- While glitchy, fans saw the random crashes as hilarious and they persist in new versions
