Is there any possible way to skip missions?

[Fenny]

Please, God, please let there be a way. In the Ballad of Tony, this mission named "Sexy Times" is just SO frustrating (mainly because the helicopter controls are just awful).

What's so awful about them? Lean foward go forward, lean back go back.

Mostly the aiming. It's practiclly imposible to aim for crap.
Otherwiiise, I've somewhat orientated myself with the controls.

you should use the mouse for aiming/rudder and the WASD keys for movement.
i don't really understand whats the problem, the helicopter controls in this game are really easy...
and if you have a gamepad nearby just use that instead, i found that using an xbox 360 controller on gta iv in pc makes driving and flying helicopters much easier

Let's look at it this way;I'm human. Therefore, things that are easy for you might not be easy for me.
Plus, no one's really told me how to skip missions yet.

One hand to do up/right, one hand on the forward/back controls (not to much or you'll nose dive!), and one hand on the mouse for missiles and guns. Easy!

EXACTLY that was the problem for me, too ...
You'd need 3 hands to get the mission right on PC xD

You can use the trainer, if you want to try different missions. Some missions you can let it 'skip' you to the end/destination, etc. I like GTA but I never get past the plane missions. I did in SA, after MUCH ado. It sure is alot harder than Pilotwings (SNES). GTAIV EFLC I was like, forget it, I finally got all the way there and BOOM ran into a 50 storey house. Gravity & My aircraft just don't see eye to eye. Look up on the EFLC/GTAIV forums for the trainer. There is a really nice one out there.
I never recommend cheating, but maybe it'll help you learn to fly the thing, or you can just skip past it and use the 'airbrake' to move the plane without physics.

I did it over and over, finally I just kept all the guns going and did my best to point it at them. In the end I got my chopper skills up enough to do the other missions. Get good at using the mouse.

Unless you have at least 3 hands and arms, it's much easier with a controller. This is by far the most brutal mission out of all the GTAIV era games with a keyboard and mouse.

The mission is easy. Reconfigure controls to use pitch forward/back/rotate to the NUMPAD instead of using the mouse if you're having a hard time.

It's easy if you re-map your controls sure, but some of us are too lazy to do that as you are well aware.......

[skidmark]

Man, remap the controls, "lazy" is LAME, dude! Remap will make the whole game easy and sometimes I remap just to pass one mission or even for one vehicle in a segment of a mission and then back again. I use an ancient flight PC joystick too, remember when? Use the mouselook just for pointing the gun and firing.
