Freefall Mission Guide

YeTi's Guide For The Mission Freefall

 

 

Introduction

 

I wrote this guide because i was looking around the forums and noticing that alot of people were having trouble with thism mission in particular. There were loads of SnP (Save n Play) requests for it. I have wrote this guide so basic that a complete idiot could understand it.

 

 

The Guide

 

Right of course you load up your save game. I find that it helps if you use the Pirate's In Men's Pants save house.

 

 

But if you haven't bought that save house then don't worry the Four Dragons is good enough.

 

 

No if you used the Pirate's In Men's Pants save house then just walk across the road to Caligulas but if you used the Four Dragons save house then you could run up to Caligulas but that would take some time so jack a car and drive there. Which ever is more appropriate for you then do it. When you arrive it should look like this.

 

 

Simply walk into the yellow marker to enter Caligulas. Now you are in Caligulas walk forward until you come to a turning turn left. Follow it round and you will come to the mission marker.

 

 

Walk into the red marker to trigger the mission.

 

When the cut scene has played you will start outside the casino.

 

 

Now you see the conviently place FCR-900 placed in front of you why not use that to get to the airport.

 

This badly drawn map show's the fastest route to the airport gate and then to the plane hanger.

 

 

So jump on the FCR-900 and make your way to the airport (the yellow dot on your mini map).

 

You will come to the airport gates. When you do stop for a bit and wait for them to open.

 

 

When the gate has opened enough you can start accelerating again this time head towards the hanger (the yellow dot on your mini map). When you reach the hanger it should look like this.

 

 

You see the armour in the corner grab it. Then enter the plane and accelerate out of the hanger slowly then turn the rudder and head left.

 

Take off.

 

 

Now try to align your self on so that the N on the mini map (symbolising north) is just a little to the left of the player marker on the mini map. It should look something like this.

 

 

Look carefully at the mini map.

[YeTi]

Now continue the head in this direction and climb steadily until you reach the marking's symbolised in this next picture.

 

 

Try to stay at around that height i know it's higher than the plane but don't worry about it. Now carefully start to tap the rudder so that your plane carefully starts to turn left. Do this at intervals of around 3 seconds for about a minute then bank slowly left and head towards the yellow icon on your mini map.

 

Eventually the hitman's plane will come onto you're screen like this.

 

 

This is when you have to be careful. Bank sharply until you are heading in the same direction as the plane don't worry about being in front behind above or below the plane ( this is why i made you go higher earlier you loose alot of altitude here). When you are on the same alignment as the plane slow down speed up climb or descend apropriately. Remember only do slight tap's pf the key's do not hold them down unless you are accelerating towards the plane. Eventually you will come up behind the plane like this.

 

 

Fly into the corona and a short cut scene will play. It will show CJ jumping from his plane onto the other plane and entering it. Now it will load you up inside the plane.

 

 

Like that you have to keep dodging to the sides to avoid the hitmen's bullets. You have to hold down the key either left or right to stay behind the wall. You release it when you want to come out into the open.

 

When you are in the open you need to shoot the hitmen there are four of them in total. They will take it in turns to hide behind their seat. One of them will be stood up shooting while the rest are hiding. They will alternate in thei method. You need to shoot the one who is stood up. Try to aim for his head as that takes more damage than the rest of his body. Remember to keep ducking behind the walls when a new man stands up and starts shooting.

 

When all the hitmen are dead the pilot of the plane comes out of his cockpit and starts shooting.

 

 

Now there is nowere for you to duck or hide just aim for his head and keep shooting till he is dead.

 

When he is dead a short cut scene plays which show's CJ walking into the cockpit and taking control of the plane.

 

When the cut scene ends you are in control of the plane.

 

 

You have to fly it back to the airport and land it. It is best for you to align the plane so that the new yellow dot on the mini map is straight in front of the plane. Like this.

 

 

It is also a good idea if you start to go into a slow descent. Keep flying towards land. When you have land below you lower your wheels.

 

 

Now let go of the throttle and descend even more.After a while you should be able to see the run way. Depending on your alignment you might need to re-align yourself.

 

Land on the runway. It doesn't matter were on the runway but i aim for the yellow dot on it.

 

 

Bring the plane to a stop on the runway and wait a minute. You should then get paid for the mission.

 

 

Well done if you have followed my guide you should have completed the mission Freefall.

 

Now i know in the guide there is likely ot be spelling/grammer mistaked so if you notice any can you point them out and i will correct them.

Thanks i appreciate it.

Well done. I'm not a great guide writer / typer. I tend just to stick to video tutorials to show how it's done. There's one of mine showing the whole approach to the plane on Filefront.com. Anyway, good work. Have a

Just a little thing to add to your GR8 work man ....

Thanks dudes.

I can aleady see why this is one of the big request for SNP...the flying part.

I'm sure those that request this one that once some gets them past the first flying part they can do the shooting easy enough. The landing part might be a half-and-half thing though.

 

As for the guide itself, very well detailed which is something like to see when things are really tough. However, I think screens of the save point to use, where to do go from there, what to do when you get there, pointing the obvious use of a vehicle that the game is telling you to use, how to get to the next location, and then what to do once you've gotten there. All of that is good bit excessive don't ya think?

 

A few simple paragraphs saying go here to start the mission, then head to this place and (in this case) get in the plane and take off. After that then you get into screenshots with captions that explains in details what you need to do and suggestions on how best to do it.

Also it general it's best to use thumbnails of the screens that are linked to the full size screen....more so if you're going to use something like photobucket.com to host them from since the forum topic can get hit a lot and photobucket.com give it's users limited monthly bandwidth.

 

It's a nice guide, don't get me wrong, just a bit too much done in some areas is all.

 

Then again I'm one to talk about being longwinded

[ronv74]

Thanks for the guide, it was excellent & helped me finish the mission in 3 tries. I forgot to put the landing gear the first 2 times

[Knife]

Woah, mega bump!

[YeTi]

Yeah bumped it after a month. Thanks i suppose. I thought everyone had forgotten about this guide and it was buried never to be seen again .

Who can forget your guide man! ... yeah lost for a while but all great things get resurrected

I think this guide should be pinned because it is really useful. It is easy to understand and you can't go wrong with this guide.
