GTA_Loco Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 If basically the same teleport trick works for VCS as it was in LCS,(given that they have the same game engine) I suspect that there might be at least one side mission on the other island (similar to the AWOL Angel mission trick) that can be done to trigger a 6 star wantel level so that you can steal a Rhino very early on. I have strong hunch it could be Crash!, but I haven't found the damn coach yet. It's just a theory that might work and be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantons Most Wanted Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 the pipe teleport works great i've got 34 rampages 97 balloons and done quite a few of the street races but another great thing i found was the Violators spawns along with all the other boats at the pier and the VCPD Chopper spawns aswell so you can fly back or travel back easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win98crash Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Ok, this is weird. I did the pipe trick and a nanosecond before the Welcome To Vice City screen appeared I heard the sound of a jet. When I appeared in Leaf Links the jet noise was still there, like I was inside it or right beside it. As I walked around the noise changed a bit so I went and got a Caddy thinking it would stop it, but it didn't. I captured some audio of it so if anyone wants to hear it or host it and post a link send me a PM with an email address and I'll send it your way. It's a 590kb MP3 file around 50 seconds long.

GTA_Loco Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yup, that happens to me often too. Sound glitch obviously. It won't just go away not until you save or reload your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalistoner Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I like that pipe trick it tripped me out when i noticed it the other night but i was wondering if everything is unlocked if you do go to the other island before its unlocked i.e the races and helicopters and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the side missions/objectives and races on both islands will be available only after you've completed certain storyline missions. The air races in particular won't be avaialble not until you've unlocked the other island and have done some missions there. But so far, as early as after the 1st mission "Soldier", some of the side missions/objectives doable already are BMX, Quad and Sanchez Time Trials, Playground on the Town, Playground on the Point, Playground on the Dock, Rush and the Rampages.

Win98crash Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thought I'd post a tip for anyone doing things on the east island and wants to get back over there easily. Once you are done getting some balloons or whatever and need to save, go get the VCPD Heli on top of the Washington Beach Police building and fly back to the west island. Now, after you land your heli and get out, get in another (2nd) vehicle and then save. When you come back out of your safehouse the last vehicle you just got in will be gone, but the heli should still be there. Now you can fly back to the east side easily and continue what you were doing. I'm sure a lot of people know this already, but it's nice to have a chopper to fly back with rather than having to teleport over there and get yourself out of the golf course each time. It sucks that a lot of the side missions aren't open yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_Loco Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hey that's cool Win98crash, thanks for the tip I've been trying to figure out how to keep the heli when I need to save. I wonder if that might work too with the missions. Gonna try this trick later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win98crash Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 No problem GTA_Loco. I assume the last-vehicle-you-use-disappears bug and how to get around it has been talked about in the VCS PS2 Bugs & Glitches thread, but I haven't read every post in there. Makes you wonder if they tested VCS at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitsandpieces Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Gee, thanks Win98 i finally get an answer to a question i asked last month, and now that the second Island has opened for me, it's too darn late to know P.S. I doubt * tested much, cause "They*" know how many morons there are on this planet(and others) that will buy any crap as soon as it comes on the market, especially if it's the moron parents who's dishing out the $$ If i had kids, i would only buy them Educational games, math, geography, History, etc.. not this kind of **** Kids need to be Educated more, not play violent games, listen to rap crap and or behave like gangsters wannabe's. Moron parents, bring up moron kids and moron kids, think that acting like a moron is cool NOT!! Edited April 1, 2007 by bits&pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_Loco Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 There were several mentions in the topic as well as in other topics but no solution was recommended so far as far as I know. Recos were given only for the bugged PSP garages. So this one would solve at least one problem Might work for the PSP version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edscoble Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 there's a much easier way you know, I mean you won't even have to do that. Just try and play the mission until you can get to the other side. genius eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win98crash Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just try and play the mission until you can get to the other side. Indeed, that is one way, but I would think anyone who is posting to this topic has already gotten there "legitimately" via the missions and might be doing this just for fun. Ya, think??

Bangoskank Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Some people just like to explore as much as possible before they are allowed to via the missions. If people don't want to do that or are somehow against people doing something in a game that they own I'm not really sure why they would open this thread let alone post.

oipolloi Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I havent got the game yet, but i understand you can swim, though are prevented from going to the next island by water currents. I remember in Vice City people would unlock the middle islands and then jump off bridges onto boats and sail there. Couldnt you theoretically swim to a boat and sail to the other island, or would the water currents push the boat back too? Alternatively if there are helicopters and planes at the airport but you can't get in yet. You could break in somehow... i got the Dodo on San Andreas after i did the FIRST mission! how? just park a car near the wall and climb over it, get in the dodo and away you go!, so yeah, try that... if possible XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could break in somehow... i got the Dodo on San Andreas after i did the FIRST mission! how? just park a car near the wall and climb over it, get in the dodo and away you go!, so yeah, try that... if possible XD first off, the air vehicles do not spawn at the airport or any spawn locations on the west island until the bridges are open through the course of the story line, due to the storm warning, as mentioned during the first mission on the radio in game-in my case i heard it on V-Rock FM. So it isn't possible to get any air vehicles until you get to the east island. Same goes for the boats. Starfish Island is open from the begining, as the only road block there is the one leading to the east island. This is the closest piece of land to the east island, and at that end of it is where the water currents gets over powering (just like rip currents do) and there are no boat spawns close enough to it. so that is out of the picture. @edscoble- some people like to get all the "hidden packages"-the red ballons in this case, all unique jumps and rampages, etc. done from the beginning as to create a good "beginning" save so they don't have to do it all again when they want to re-start the game again.-I do this same thing myself when playing all GTA games-from GTA 3 to Vice City to San Andreas to LCS and now to VCS. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gantons Most Wanted Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 oh yyeah i don't think this has been mentioned but if anyone needs a helicopter early on go to the first island and theres a plice chopper on top of the ocean beach police department so you can fly back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkk Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Some people, like myself, like to get all the hidden packages and rampages and unique jumps out of the way early to create a good "beginning" save, so when they start a new game next time they will not have to do all of this all over again. That would be me. I want to get the full range of weapons at the hideout. I assume there's a heli on the other side to get you back. Dying would work, except that dying puts you at the nearest hospital, which would still leave you on east island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA_Loco Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Yup. Police Maverick is always on the Washington Beach HQ rooftop. Or use any of the boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
