erolsipar Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) OK Ive been reading everyday for the fix but come on everybody says to change the key to j or right mouse button or anything else. I have tried really fast and normal and slow. I even used an emulator to automaticly pressing key. But it just changes view and I cant climb on the helicopter. I have the latest patch fixes drivers updates and everything. Im using Vista X64 Ultimate Sp1. Ive tried Xp Pro SP3 32 bit and no luck either. I have a HD 4870X2. Q9650 stock clocks. Asus X48 Premium Wifi AP. DO I need a fix or what. I try everyday and cant do it. Ive been playing even with quarter life and I dont die I just want to climb onto the helicopter and go to the other island. I need specific help people please dont tell me to change the key I tried them all. Please help its been 2 weeks for one mission. Ive done the Assault mission and the read all the emails. Stold lots of cars for Brucie by reading emails.

Wheelman Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've just had the "pleasure" of fighting my way through the final mission, and doing a damn good job of it, too. Full health and half my armour remaining, plenty M16 ammo, and in pretty good shape. Until I try and climb up to the helicopter. "Space" just doesn't work and Pegorino got away. Thanks, Rockstar Toronto. Thanks a f*cking lot. Next time, you could always try testing the god damn missions before you release it. The controls are f*cked up enough as it is, and you go and port the last mission without even play testing it on the keyboard? Genius. When I get the time this week, I'll have to post a proper breakdown of everything that's seriously wrong with this brilliant but massively flawed game. I wasn't going to, but my patience has run out.

Wheelman Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Still doesn't f*cking work. I've read the various fixes. I've tried using the joypad. I've tried using every frigging button I've got. I've not skipped any cut scenes. Way to go, Rockstar. Way to go. It's been many, many years since I've touched a piece of software this badly written.

Wheelman Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Guess what? Patch 1.0.2.0 doesn't fix the issue. It didn't claim to, I know, but I thought I'd give it another go. I've now tried everything. Skipping cutscenes, not skipping cutscenes, rebinding keys, random key combinations, using the joypad... and still he just hangs there while Roman the fat c*nt of an annoying cousin just tells me to climb up, while the view sometimes shudders and flickers to some wierd closeup shot of the helicopter as I hammer the keys in true 1980s athletics games style. (edit) AT LAST. This time it worked. Not sure why, or how, of whether it was some bizarre combination of reassigning keys, using caps lock, and so on. Finally, I've finished the final mission and the main story. This really needs fixing so it works with the default controls.

radioBirdman Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I for one appreciate wheelman's whinging. I've not touched the game for 2 weeks thanks to being stuck on getting into the helicopter. Today I got GTA IV up and running in Windows 7, with the new patch and with some fiddling I got my Cordless Rumblepad 2 working and restored my save games etc. I thought I'd have another crack at getting into the fuc*ing helicopter. No luck. Tried using RMB instead of spacebar/button A (button 1 on my controller). No luck. It's such a shame to love the hell out of a game and stand by Rockstar in buying the game depsite the bad press only to get to the end of the main story to find that well... you can't get to the end of the main story.

The mission isn't actually that long, I suppose it took me about 2-4 minutes to get to the helicopter bit. please charlie can u ban this fagot! played the last mission 1 minute ago where i was stuck since patch 1.0.1 but now the climb to the helicoper task is manageable (patch 1.0.2) with the keyboard (space key) and it doesn't just change the view anymore like it did before. be sure to press it repeatedly like a crackmonkey without pressing another key. but then again the ride with the chopper is just so f*ud up too. i managed to stay behind demitri for some time by holding the space key pressed and therfore being in first person mode but the chopper will lose on highness and just smash in a building,,,no words about how the hell we have to land this thing with this f*ud up view of sight... tomorrow will be another day i guess.

grove_street_og Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 For me (computer just barely able to run the game so it's like Nico is moving through molasses a lot of the time, so my experience may not be representative) it wasn't pushing the key fast that did it, it was pushing the key at a particular rhythm (maybe 2 presses a second or something like that). So maybe if pushing fast doesn't work, experiment with pushing at a slower but steady rate and see if that does anything.

MasterXL6 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Well I'm one of the unlucky ones, must have done this mission 30 times by now, know it by mind already. (doesn't help that I can do the mission only twice till the damn game crashes) I can confirm pressing rapidly does NOT work, been ramming my space button like mad, but today I came up with an idea (like OP) Have a G15 keyboard which can use macro's, so I made one consisting of about 50 space presses. (but pressing these in about 2 seconds) Instead of ramming the space button I was mashing away on the macro... The game was actually registering so many space hits it started to lag and stutter!! ... And I still didn't make it on the damn chopper. Other than that I tried it with the 360 gamepad, switching the standard jump button, not skipping the cutscene (which is utter bull but desperate), pressing forward while tapping space. Strangely enough I made it on the chopper twice, but got blown up on try 1 and, believe it or not, the game crashed on the second try. Was ready to pull my hair out on that one. Didn't do anything special to achieve it I'd like to find a pattern here, I for one run the game fluently (50fps avg) do the rest of the ppl having this bug have good systems? Heh, maybe you need crap fps for this to work Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/392947-helicopter-climb-final-mission/#findComment-1058915572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicey Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) I'm with you Wheelman The last mission to hunt down Pegorino drove me up the wall, easy to get to the 'copter. I kept mucking it up by pressing the space bar as prompted but this does nothing but change the camera. Tried the correct gamepad button but no go either. What a waste of 15 minutes of my life each time. Out of disgust of having to go through it 10 times I uninstalled the bastard and watched the ending on Youtube instead. Left a sour taste in my mouth as I don't like giving up! However good to see I wasn't the only one having probelms with this mission I have the feeling this will be the last GTA on the PC, if so it's a sad way to go out.

Girish Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's called hit space rapidly with both hands This. Although, I reassigned the jump key to 'Right-Ctrl' since I'm more used to that.

abcman77 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have a theory for those who care to listen This topic has shown that some people have problems with the climb and for some this is easy.(For me it is impossible) I am thinking the difficulty could be caused by differences in hardware,not in skill. I think this because the section was built for consoles ( which hardware is the same ) but not for pcs ( Where hardware is not standardized).

I am going to retry it and reassign jump to be a mouse button and see what it does. I'll tell you if it works or not in a few minutes after I redo the begginning of the mission.

MasterXL6 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I finally managed to complete this mission! But before I explain how I managed to get this to work.. To all those people who go lol u guys are doin it wrong, I managed to do it on first try. press it faster! understand that you don't have godly button mashing skills, this IS a bug and for the people that have it this mission is impossible to complete. I did 2 things to get this to work, I installed the Xliveless mod and set the "prerendered frames" in the nvidia configuration window to "2" (instead of standard 3) I don't know which of these 2 actually fixed the problem. Did the quest (40th time by now) and made it on the chopper, without the bug you don't even to bash the space like mad, just tap it couple of times and you're on the chopper. Bit of an anti-climax though, spent hours and hours to get there to find out there was only 2 minutes of gameplay left in that mission, bah! Well, hope this works for the rest of you, drop a line if it does.

Captain_Obvis456 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Well, I've been through the game 3 times and this time(the 4th time but the first after the latest patch) I can't get into the helicopter either. I've completed it in both the revenge and the deal missions but,.... now no matter what I've done I can't get into the helicopter. I've even tried shutting off and restarting the game and shutting down the computer and restarting the computer also. Sometimes this will fix a glitch like this. The only difference between this time through and the others if I get this mission done I will have 100% completion. The other games I have aren't nearly so close to 100%. I'm going to keep at it, but I thought you all might want to know that it isn't that you're doing it wrong, it's just a glitch. Pain in the ass though.

BigSwede66 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Unfortunately I have the same problem. I have a fast computer, and hitting the space bar fast works to get me up. It's when i get up the view is always the wrong way. When i finally get it together, the bastards have already turned left. ( Of course thats if the missle doesn't hit me yet again) I have actually, (the first time) made it to the bridge chasing them, and then the helicopter just wouldn't go anymore and the veiw was all screwed up yet again. No, i'm not whining, Mafia was a better, hell, Terricide was better. What really pisses me off is when you can't save, like you know, maybe after the gun battle and before the chase in the boat. I always like f*n driving for 10 real time minutes (2 when i'm really pissed off) then fighting my ass off just to have a f*n missle go up my ass. Then do it again 20 times. No i'm not whining. Have you seen Catch the wave?, wasn't that fun driving 10 times over...... and then jerkoff runs in and gets shot up. No, couldn't save there either. Partial nudity ??? Where i come from, that means you can actually see tits or ass or muff. Why not show everything, every word was used that iv'e ever heard and i'm 42. I have played every game out there i think. It's sad to think that the same company who made Morrowind and oblivion made such a crappy game. On the other side, having the video editor sure is fun...when your waiting to calm down to try the mission again...and again....and again.

Chris_Waddle Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm so, so annoyed now. Have had no problems on any mission so far with anything working. Get to the damn helicoptor (after the revenge option) and all that happens when I try pressing the A button on the x-box controller (or the space bar) is that the picture appears to shake!!! I have tried 8 times now and everytime Niko just falls off. I have never failed to climb aboard on the X-Box version! What the hell is going on?? I have tried slowly pushing, quickly pushing, pushing like a nutter and nothing makes any difference. I'm bl**dy fuming!! I'm going to try re-installing and see if that makes any differnce. I really hope it does. I can live with the RESC10 error and the memory leak, but this takes the biscuit.

I really hope it does. I can live with the RESC10 error and the memory leak, but this takes the biscuit. I finally got it, probably after 20 times. I experimented with different settings and I remembered that I set it to 1680X1050 from 1280X1024 a few days ago( For some reason that's what the game defaulted to) So I set it back . I also experimented changing the controls for getting onboard the helicopter. I set it to RMB instead of space. It took both of these things for me to get it. I think what did it was that I couldn't hit it nearly so fast so I think I was actually hitting it too fast and I was getting some weird lag and that was preventing me from getting in. I was getting that shaking and I think that was causing the lag. BigSwede66, I had that issue the first time through the game. I was able to solve it by holding the capslock so the camera focused on your target. The deal is harder than the revenge because you have to fly around the big buildings in Alderney.

Chris_Waddle Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well I tried this 15 times and not once did it work! I was all for throwing the damn disc out the window into the fields behind my house. Thankfully I didn't, as I've now completed it!! Originally I was playing the game on Vista 64bit. No matter how many times I tried this level, Niko failed to climb aboard the helicoptor. I re-installed the game on XP 32bit (my PC is dual boot), copied the save game over and it worked first time. No stuttering of the screen or anything. Granted, the game doesn't run as smoothly in XP (I have 4gig of Ram + GTX280). Whilst Vista 64 allows me to use all of my ram (with all settings at max), I can't finish the game and have to stop playing after an hour due to the memory leak. XP is no where near as smooth with all settings maxed out, but at least I can play for as long as I want and complete the missions! Thank god I still have XP32.

syrdax Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I just need like 10 hits to the bar to jump into the helicopter... the issue was the camera... now, one hand pressing W to fly high, A and D to bank; the other hand pressing 8 to move forwar, 4 and 6 to turn... somehow trying to press C to "look back so camera centers again, sometimes pressing caps to see where Dimitri/Phill is, darng, flying the helicopter is harder than flying the freaking Dodo... PLEASE, make helicopter "drive" like in SA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, my solution was to just go high (W) and then place a marker on the island and just go there, the game does the rest Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/392947-helicopter-climb-final-mission/#findComment-1058954681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
