Parking Space Issues

[Rag]

Just wondering if anyone has issues parking at your safehouse?

 

I've parked the Bati Custom and it disappeared, I parked an APC and it disappeared and I parked a Buzzard and that went away too. Maybe you can't park the APC or Buzzard but I don't know why the Bati runs away, and it's happened twice.

 

Parking the Bati at Niko's spot is fine, it never goes away.

Assuming you're not parking more than two vehicles in a space, you're turning off the engine when you exit your vehicles (reduces chance of being jacked), police on foot aren't commandeering them, and they're not getting pushed out of their spaces by AI traffic crashing into them, I have no idea.

I've heard that when you get off your bike, and the bike leans a little, the spawn point of the bike moves out a tiny bit, towards the direction the bike is leaning. So eventually, the bike will spawn outside of the boundary. You can fix this by making sure the bike leans toward the curb, because the curb stops it from moving outside of the zone. I'm not sure if this is true, but I remember reading it here (at the forums).

I'm parking everything correctly, the APC was inside, the Buzzard's landing feet were inside (the tail was out though).

 

So today I parked a PCJ 600 and a Buffalo at Luis' spot, and the Super GT and Bati Custom at Niko's spot, now I go back, the PCJ is gone and so is the Bati, both cars are still there. And I park the bikes in the centre so it leans inside the parking space (box).

 

Who the hell is stealing these bikes!?

Johnny Klebitz? Maybe he got tired of american choppers.

I lost my Cavalcade a few times when i got it from the Drug Deal mission. But when i got it after passing the mission "Corner Kids" it saves all the time.

hence the reason we need garages back in GTA,

yep mine hardly save either. had allsorts disappear.

 

No troubles in vanilla though, still got the Comet Brucie gives you after the first race!

I think it has to do with this new thing where cops and peds take your car(s), I've seen a cop drive my Schafter, don't know if they take bikes or not.

 

Sucks though, that space outside your safehouse isn't well made, I've seen cabs drive in the space (box) which leads me to assume what's causing the issue since if I save my game and a cab's there it might cause one of the cars/bikes to disappear.

Luis's space is the most annoying, and it's usually a cabbie that goes down the small incline, hits the brakes, but still makes a good sized dent in my Super Diamond, which pushes it into the Shafter, and I either lose one or both cars...

I have to stand around the spot constantly to move my cars back, and have to always be cautious when leaving the area, because of the stupid peds and their awful driving.

But, surprisingly, I've never lost a car yet.

I don't save bikes, they cause more issues than they make up for...

I'm only sticking with vehicles, and the Skylift...

Although I still have three spaces open...

I've recently lost a couple of bikes from Luis's spot as well. They were parked leaning towards the sidewalk and there was a Banshee / Bullet parked behind it (so the cars should shield the bike from impacts). The bikes disappeared but the cars stayed in place.

Vehicles in Luis's spot are (at least in my game) slow to spawn, on a couple of occasions they've been so late that they got entangled with random traffic (traffic spawns before the parked vehicles).

 

In my experience it is hard to get a Buzzard to store at all, Swifts and Mavericks does however not cause any problems (unless they're hit by traffic)

They weren't fool proof in SA, I lost cars (and tanks) all the time

That only happens if you force more cars into it than it could hold.

Each garage can hold two at the most, and some poeple used glitches to put in more.

But they dissapear.

We really need garages back...

For the sake of having our cars not scratched up by retarded civillians.

There are already working garages in upper alderney, why not just configure a parking space up there, inside the WORKING garage, and let us have our damn fun???

[Rag]

I think they should have altered the sidewalks a bit to accommodate a proper parking space, it's only a matter of time before someone bumps into your parked cars and it's really annoying.

[Rewdalf]

Luis's parking space seems half-assed, since it blocks the road and it's right before an incline...

At least with Niko's they were on the side of the road, and you would occasionally see other cars parked in front and behind the "residents parking" area...
