When you got idiots like Jack Thompson, of course they would get sued. Besides, whats the point of a plane when there's only one airport? I'm sure Rockstar just figured they'd save ALOT of hassle by not putting planes in and dodging people from sueing them.
9/11...you couldn't be more wrong. GTA San Andreas came out in what 2004 and it had planes you could fly. Maybe not a 747 but a plane/jet none the less.
I blame laziness on their part after being overly ambitious with adding in horrible rag doll physics and way too realistic driving or trying to make it more realistic. I Mean I played a few games 3 or 4 years ago with better physics and I don't play GTA for realistic driving. I'll play a driving sim if I want realism and physics added in although nice for the first 2 min until you realize none of the body movements are at all real and add nothing to game play.
In GTA 5 Please give us planes/more drivable vehicles variety is what made GTA San Andreas sooo much fun for me. Make the handbrake useful outside of tapping again. I know it's not realistic to take turns at 80 Mph+ but that's why we play games, for fun. I never got that virtual realism of some games like Skate. Yeah it's fun for the first hour and the mega ramp was a blast, but after that your just doing single kickflips or very limited chains. If I wanted that I'd go learn how to skateboard.
Also IV is missing drivable trains and the harrier-like jet with missles Oh well glad I borrowed it first.

Let me explain this again.
GTA IV is in NEW YORK CITY, where a PLANE FLEW INTO A BUILDING and KILLED THOUSANDS of people.
San Andreas was not in New York City so that is irrelevant.
Rockstar is not stupid enough to make a game where you have the option to fly planes into buildings while playing a game in the city it happen in in real life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't want a big car, particularly. I have no need for acreage, and I don't like the fuel bills. But I don't want a small one because they're all like supermarket own-brand cola: weedy imitations of the real thing - Jeremy Clarkson
thats not the reason, for one you could make it so when the plane hits the building it does no damage to it. there would be no pasengers on the plane as well. the reason is the same as why there is not as many custom things to buy like clothing shops and car shops like in the past versions. just more time and effort they would have to put into the game,and it would not make it so it would sell more product than what they have already.how many people would not buy this game cause there is no flyable planes? not many if any at all.
It wouldn't make sense for Rockstar making it possible to tear down buildings. If they added planes into the game, they could just make buildings indestructible. Even if they were able to get torn down, people would probably not even care. Think about it, all that 9/11 crap is baloney.
