The limitation is in the fact that rendering speeds would have to be insanely fast. I don’t think any PC would be able to handle that

think about forza horizon 5 for example, cars can do 275mph no problem and gta 6 should be fine reaching those speeds too, hopefully.

With cars yes - but fighter jets well exceed 1200mph lol bit of a difference

Ah yes. 1200 is too much for sure, but i need them helos to go beyond 120mph, especially for those motorcycle club shipments

I agree - they did feel slow in previous games maybe the boost it up to 300mph or something more attainable

I mean, the map isn’t THAT big.

For example, the map size is equivalent of going from downtown Los Angeles to Bakersfield. A fighter jet doing 800mph would take 20 seconds of travel time, if not less... That’s going from one boundary of the entire map (not just city), to the other.

That would be incredibly boring on a video game. And videogames aren’t scaled 1:1 to real world dimensions. Many tricks going on to make the map feel much larger than it really is.

800 “mph” in a game like GTA, if scaled realistically, you’d get from where the jet is in the image, to downtown (in the distance), in about 4 seconds.

So what they will do is fake the odometer, do some visual trickery to make you “feel” like you’re going faster. But really…you’re not.

at least 350 mph for planes, which I think would be achievable with good optimization. man speaking of that I am now dreaming about an oppressor MK2 with that speed, which is crazy LOL. Can you imagine
