and yes I posted this already... trying to help all those as frustrated as me
Hey don't put the controller down just yet...
In the flying mission remember to put the landing gear up and you should beat it no prob. (click the right thumbstick in)
I feel lik an idiot.... put that was the reason I could never reach the 1st corona. And replayed the othe flying test and remembered I had to put up my landing gear.
Hopefully, this helps all those who were stuck... and this point.... Play on, I hear the rest of the game after this point is the best. ( haven't beaten it yet either but had to drop this message for everyone ... wish me luck!)
