### **How to Play**
* **Vast Open World:** Explore over 150 km² of terrain including mountains, canyons, and cities using a selection of 52 vehicles (15 helicopters, 18 planes, and various boats and cars).
* **Mission Structure:** To start a mission, look for **glowing markers** scattered throughout the world. Simply walk or drive into these markers to trigger specific objectives like passenger transport or emergency rescues.
* **Dynamic Weather & Realism:** The game features a 3D volumetric cloud system and dynamic weather (rain, snow, thunderstorms). Pay close attention to **turbulence**, which affects your aircraft's stability during flight.
* **Activity Diversity:** Beyond flying, you can drive fast cars on miles of drifting roads or take part in **Base Jumping**—climbing to high points and jumping off with a paraglider or parachute.
### **Strategies for Success**
* **Master the Emergency:** The game randomly generates "flight problems" like engine failures or landing gear issues. If an engine fails, stay calm and practice your **emergency landing procedures** to save the aircraft and complete the objective.
* **Weaponized Flight:** When using combat helicopters like the Apache or SuperCobra, use your rockets to clear blocked roads and obstacles. This is often required in missions to allow ground traffic to pass.
* **Navigation & Planning:** Use the **minimap** to track mission spots. You can expand the map for a full-screen view to plan long-distance commutes between international airports and remote mountain helipads.
* **Adapt to the HUD:** The highly detailed cockpits provide essential flight data. Monitor your altitude and speed closely, especially when navigating through 3D clouds where visibility is low.
* **Multi-Vehicle Chains:** Some missions might require you to switch modes—for example, flying to a location, landing, and then using a fast car to reach a specific marker on the ground.
* **Safety in Storms:** During thunderstorms, your aircraft will be much harder to control. Reduce your speed and maintain a higher altitude to avoid colliding with mountain peaks or city skyscrapers in low-visibility conditions.
