tokarev33 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 pimping, taxi driver, ambulance, firetruck, viglante, all help u with that, though i dont recommend trying ambulance and viglante too early (they require higher vehicle control). n yes, running from police helps increse both, your skill level in game, as well as your actual handling of vehicles in gta. happy gta'ing... btw...those schools, contrary to the belief, actually require an insane amount of skill to be able to do anything fruitful there...

tacojoe Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 just like what jking said. driving around is the way to increase skill. the schools do help but you need a high driving skill to complete it.

Mixolydian Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Drive around doing lots of jumps and crazy tricks. That way you can have some fun while increasing your skills.

MG2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 yeah i noticed that if i drive at high speeds or do stunts, it increases my driving or bike skills not too long after I did those things. is it just a coinsedence(sp) or if i do stunts or drive at high speeds, it increases the skills faster?

crazyanurag Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 i just started a new game and cant get to the schools yet. is there a way to increase those skills without going to the schools or using cheats? completing the Driving and Bike schools would increase those respective skills a lot faster than normal gameplay would...other things like stoppies and wheelies for bikes and two-wheel stunts for cars seem to increase the skills faster, though i don't see why that should be, when looking at the relevant data file... STAT_INC_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 25STAT_TIMELIMIT_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 180 and, STAT_INC_DRIVING_SKILL 20 STAT_TIMELIMIT_DRIVING_SKILL 300 basically, this means that in normal gameplay time, 3 minutes of uninterrupted riding of a bike would increase the skill by 2.5%, while 5 minutes of uninterrupted driving of a car would raise the corresponding skill by 2%... btw...those schools, contrary to the belief, actually require an insane amount of skill to be able to do anything fruitful there... i'd have to disagree with you there...they're in the game for a reason, and can be very helpful in teaching one a few things about driving better, regardless of previously attained skill levels...in any case, it doesn't really matter too much as to how much skill one has, especially when driving a car, since i don't find them handling any differently...

-/TNT\- Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) If you mind changing some of the data in the game's files, go to the ar_stats.dat file inside the data folder of your main San Andreas directory and find the lines crazyanurag posted, which are these: STAT_INC_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 25STAT_TIMELIMIT_MOTORBIKE_SKILL 180and,STAT_INC_DRIVING_SKILL 20STAT_TIMELIMIT_DRIVING_SKILL 300 Now change the 180 to 1 and the 300 to 1 too. Save and load up your game. Get in any car and drive around. You'll instantly notice your stats rapidly rising. The same will happen for your Motorbike skill when you rida a motorcycle. @crazyanurag: I could swear your karma has increased by two. Mind telling me how?

gillies Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The driving school increases your skill by about 50 percent when you finish it, even if it was zero when you started. You also get an extra 2 percent when you achieve a gold medal in a test. Without editing any files to cheat, the best way to do it before getting up to the school would be to get a fast car and do laps of the runway at the airport in Los Santos, it will take less time than driving on the roads. You only ever need 20 percent of any given skill to meet the "requirement" to do anything, and increasing it any further seems to be pointless as it makes no difference to anything as far as I noticed and most people seem to think the same thing.
