Awesome work on the mod! 

I'm super close to 100%ing it, but I think there's a balance issue with the RC Baron race in Vice Point in patch 1.2:

The rival RC Goblins appear to be way faster than I could ever possibly be with the provided RC Goblin, even though I'm usually decent at flying helis in GTA games. In common/data/cdimages/script_sources/test/script_vcr/convert/rcplne.c, I understand that the three rivals seem to be following a pre-recorded path. I wonder if the paths were balanced with regards to the handling of the initial release, but were forgotten about with the changes to the handling of the RC Goblin done to make Demolition Man easier. Tweaking the drag value of the TOURMAV from 300.0 to 30.0 made the mission a breeze, unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to install 1.0 again to diff the two files.

 

edit:

I installed the initial release again, and yeah the handling files is different from 1.2

< TOURMAV      90.0  55.0  75   0.0 -0.1  -0.5          0.0  1  0.30  1.0 160.0 0.4  0.60 0.7  35.0             0.65 0.60  8.0 0.10 0.5                 1.2  1.2  0.8  0.50 -0.10 0.0  0.3                      1.0 0.5 3.0 1.5         0.0
 52000                 2004000         401000                  0
> TOURMAV       0.1 300.0 75 0.0 -0.1 -0.5 0.0 1 0.30 1.0 160.0 0.4 0.60 0.7 35.0 0.65 0.60 8.0 0.10 0.5 1.2 1.2 0.8 0.50 -0.10 0.0 0.3 0.1 0.1 0.1 9999999999999999.0 0.0 1000000 2004000 401000 0

I'll restore the values from the initial release and see if the race is more balanced.

 

edit:

yup, the topfun rcbaron race works way better with the previous values.

Can someone please tell me where are the savefiles located for the Nextgen Edition? I have original GTA IV as well and I don't want to mess with those savefiles. I think my savefile for NextGen got corrupted after the mission where I had to plant bombs in the haitians warehouse(whatever), at the end of that mission the map disappeared, I managed to save the game and now it doesn't load in, after a couple of seconds it just says in Task Manager that GTA IV is not responding. If anyone can tell me a solution, that would be nice otherwise just tell me where the saves are located so I can delete and start again...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it myself. It was in C:\Users\bulma\Documents\Rockstar Games\VC 1_2\savegames(it's VC 1_2 if you have version 1.2, if you have the first one it should be C:\Users\bulma\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA VC\savegames), I deleted SGTA400 file and left only the SGTA412 one which I guess is the autosave and tried loading the game and guess what, it loaded just fine, went to a safehouse to save again and voila, I got back to where I was, no need to start again. So happy with myself!

I'm having this same issue with the map not loading upon completing Trojan Voodoo. How can you get around this? I've tried several times and the game just keeps crashing there.

Trojan Voodoo - cap your fps to 30 before the explosion cutscene or else you will be stuck in infinite loading 

 

This didn't work for me, still skipping the cutscene and going to the unloaded map.

Will these game breaking bugs ever be fixed? 

Kaufman Cabs VIP: the vip will insta die if you shoot or damage the taxi even tho thats the entire point of the mission
Cortez All hands on deck: If you fail this mission it will make you redo the previous mission (Sir, Yes Sir!) where you have to steal the tank

Would try fixing these issues myself but I have no idea how to get started with mission editing
