From [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] onwards, helicopters were redone and are controllable by the player. The [[Police Maverick]], in effect a police variant of the [[Maverick]], replaces GTA III's police helicopter. However, the controllable Police Maverick has a separate texture and handling line, while the GTA III's police helicopter's (HELI) texture files and handling line still exists.
