How does one control the thrusters on a Hydra in GTA:SA on Android? - A Smartphone Game Controller On A Person's Hand

The UI provided for the Hydra seems to be the same as for Dodo, Shamal, etc (as far as movement is concerned). The thrusters seem to automatically switch between pointing backwards and downwards, perhaps based on speed, but it's not clear how. Is there a way to control them directly?

This also makes movement on ground hard, since the thrusters are pointing downwards.



Best Answer

you can lean forwards, but only one you have a good altitude. For some reason, when the hydra faces downwards, it automatically moves the thrusters in the "move-the-hydra-forwards"position
