Demarest Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Part of the problem is just the course itself. Here's a map for you. If you need more help, feel free to drop your save off at the SNP VC in my sig.

Ashwin Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Use R1 to turn sharply, and just keep practising. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/140897-checkpoint-charlie/#findComment-1833403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoon Corpse Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 (edited) i noticed on 'stuntboat challenge' you get (on your radar) an indication of the next target as well as the one after that (easier to orient your boat strategically). HOWEVER on checkpoint charlie you only get the next target location. so until you memorize (or use demarests map of) the course, you are doomed to fail checkpoint charlie, cause (if i remember) there is not much room for inefficiently lining up the targets., BTW - i just finished it again. use the boat with the 'wing' on it. more maneuverable. also use dem's map. much less repitition to learn the route. keep an eye on your radar (at least at the point you hit a target) so you know how to immediately setup (not always urgent) for the next one. when you win, 'park' the boat at el swanko case (get a good running start from the finish point and use the dock.

the_conspiracy Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Also if you really can't do it, then use the seaways cheat and park a good car near your boat. When it starts get out into the car and drive off into the water (the handling is much better). You'll lose a few seconds but you can make up for it pretty easy.

Cartoon Corpse Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 does the car bob around in the water? or is like it's on a road? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/140897-checkpoint-charlie/#findComment-1837502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyL Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Use the cuban boat,it can jump better, and slowly and calmly pick up the drug packages!Be extra carefull at the 3 jumps!The most important thing is to stay calm;I got pissed an` it took me more time to pass it(eventually I did beat it) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/140897-checkpoint-charlie/#findComment-1920472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehde Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 dont go to fast on the jumps or you'll clear the package (it happened to me ) it took me awile and im still 65% complete the game (dont laugh, im new to grand theft auto) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/140897-checkpoint-charlie/#findComment-1932621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenjx1983 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 i guess it's also helps to put your camera mode on the furthest one, 'cuz then you will be able to see the next point at the start of the game and know how sharp you need to turn. and i think there is no way to go easy on this mission except practice and cheats (which i think is a bad idea) and the most difficult parts that you need to spend your time on are the three jumps (especially the first two).

But if you don't play for a while or it's first time, you'll end up balder than ... a bald man.

chenjx1983 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 another point i forgot to mention is that most of us are used to controling a car and when we make a sharp turn we slow down (either break or let go the gas) or use the hand brake - DON'T DO THAT when you are driving the boat - the handbrake won't work that good and when you let the gas the boat will slow down much faster than you think and then act like it's dead - actually boats are turning much easier and having a much smaller turning radius than cars, you don't need to slow down on under any circumstances to make a turn.

Jehde Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 if you take the right one (the one i used) and lt go of gas and turn and press at the same time, you make a sharp turn Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/140897-checkpoint-charlie/#findComment-1972610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenjx1983 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 right, didn't notice that...and i'm using the left one at most of the times. there is a quite different opinions about those two boats.
