That is what pisses me off. This Sultan, Packer, and BF-400 are quite "easy" to get, but it's impossible without Cheats since you can't break away from the rail shooter when you're on the back of the BF-400. There is 2 Side Missions in LCS (9MM Mayhem and Scooter Shooter) which is you on the back of a Faggio and Freeway shooting targets. These targets are Heavy Vehicles which are obtainable (in fact, I got every single one to exist from both Side Missions ), but the thing is, when you get close to them, you can shoot the driver and fail the mission and if the Heavy Vehicle drives past your safety region of where the Mission starts and will teleport you back to once you fail, you can obtain the Vehicles. It's a lot of luck and tons of retries and reloads, but I got them all and they are amazing in H/DP form. But it sucks in SA that I can't kill Smoke to fail the Mission when I want. Same applies in Reuniting the Families. It's basically impossible to break out of that at the right time to obtain the damn Police Car....

 

Well, there is only 2 obtainable "Unique" Vehicles in SA, and one isn't even drive-able. So having the 3rd Unique Vehicle, Andromada, would be great. All those people you name, even fnxrak, plays on PC. Not PS2. PS2 is the only way it's obtainable. Plus, everything on PS2 is usually harder to get in general...

 

That AP Leviathan is over my head. Good luck. If you obtain it, that would be insane

It appears there is a DP Picador in the mission, "Ryder." I am wondering if you can fail the Mission to obtain it. It says on System Error Gamefaqs Guide it's unobtainable because if you pass, it'll turn back to normal. Or is failing it the same result?

 

Anyone try the Parachute Trick on the High Stakes, Low Rider Vehicles and then push them back to a Garage? System Error says you can recruit a GSF Member and he will yank the driver out and you can steal it. But if you blow up your own Low Rider to fail the mission, the Vehicle will vanish, even if it's in the Garage. I wondering about Parachute Trick or if you did Parachute Trick on AP Vehicle in the Garage, or destroy your own car AND the AP Vehicle inside the Garage simultaneously...There's gotta be a way...

 

Just read about the AP Walton in the Mission "Don Peyote." This seems interesting, too. It even suggests a Rhino MIGHT work and then push the wreck back to a Garage. Anyone tried? This Mission comes up in Las Venturas...

 

 

EDIT: I might not do my SA Save File 2 afterall. If I do it, I won't do it for at least a few weeks or a month, perhaps. I need a break after finishing 10 total GTA's to 100%, Perfect Stats, and a Special Vehicle Collection in each + LCS 6 Save Files and VCS 3 Save Files.

 

I have experienced the Vehicle of Death Cheat Code and made an AP Sea Sparrow just to mess around with. It's pretty cool, but it's so cheap how you can do that and get BP/EP Vehicles inside your Garage and/or AP Vehicles without putting them in your Garage. So any of the Special Vehicles I couldn't obtain in the past, I can obtain in a moment of typing in a Cheat to have a "preview" of how the Vehicle is in AP form...

[fnxrak]

THE DP picador is not DP is crash resistant, as is also the BP one

 

Edit as soon as I restart my GTA San Andreas Walkthroughs I'll try to get the Andromada and also maybe the FI infernus with the PS2 method but that will take a long long time

Edited April 20, 2015 by fnxrak

[Lethal Vaccine]

Ah, just increased health from collisions? That sucks

 

I didn't even know anything about a BP Picador? Just increased health from bullets?

 

The PS2 Method for the Infernus isn't anything special, it's literally a joke how easy it is to get it. Wait and see...In a decade maybe

 

I've had second thoughts about doing my SA Save File 2. I mean, afterall, I just finished it 3 months ago. I need some more time off. Plus, I just finished 10 GTA's (III, VC, SA, LCS x6 Save Files, VCS x3 Save Files, IV, TLaD, TBoGT, CTW, and V) all to 100%, Perfect Stats, and a Special Vehicle Collection. I need a break from GTA. In fact, I have GTA V in my PS3 right now and gonna work on the remaining 5 Special Vehicles I need to get way back from December when I stopped playing it and moved onto San Andreas, which is my current Save File I have now for it.

 

But yeah, in time I will also do it and get all those other Special Vehicles I wanted to go. I am hoping that someone can discover something else so it'll give me a reason to play it again...

[Lethal Vaccine]

Just got word that the High Stakes, Low Rider AP Vehicles are indeed OBTAINABLE. However, the bad news it, it breaks your game and you can't continue. Kinda like the EC Vincent if you get it early and not from the Mafia later on when you owe them 1 Million to the Casino...

 

Someone is working on a Video right now, I think...If they get the Video up, I will post it...

 

It'd be kinda cool to have those 3 AP Vehicles + the AP Sultan, AP Packer, and DP/EP/FP/MP BF-400. All on one glitched Save!

Edited April 21, 2015 by Militia

[OG Viking]

Yeah I've tried a Rhino to push Leviathan. It wont budge an inch.

 

 

 

Just got word that the High Stakes, Low Rider AP Vehicles are indeed OBTAINABLE. However, the bad news it, it breaks your game and you can't continue.

How did they do it, and in what way is it breaking the game?

[Lethal Vaccine]

They did it in a way how I explained above. The Parachute Trick is king. It made most UNobtainable Special Vehicles, obtainable...

 

I didn't see the Video yet, but once I do and it's legit, I will post it here.

 

There is always a way to think outside of the box. I am only paying attention to unobtainable Vehicles as of right now since they been on the list for years, but nobody figured out how to get them yet...

[fnxrak]

I knew the FI Savanah was obtainable but not keepable as the game crashed so I'm guessing it will be the same with the other vehicles, but anyway it's nice to know people are still trying to get things and who knows might help us figure out a way to get it without crashing

[Lethal Vaccine]

How hard is the Master/Starter Save for SA? I am gonna watch ZMOONCHILD's entire playlist. The main reason I dread doing SA repeated times is all those Collectables, Races, Import/Export, etc...It is all very tedious and annoying doing over and over. I should probably do a Starter Save and then make a backup of that so I never lose it and won't dread doing the game over more times for Special Vehicles if need be...

[Lethal Vaccine]

Tomorrow, I am gonna use Cheats for "educational purposes." I plan on using 1 of 2 Cheats to obtain the AP Greenwood. I have a Save at 99.47%, with only needing to pass End of the Line for 100%. I kept this one just in case I wanted to re-try for the AP Greenwood and AP Fire Truck, as other than the DP/EP/FP/MP Police Car, those are the only 3 I couldn't get that were in my very original list that I wanted to obtain in the Save...

 

I will get the AP Greenwood with either "No Wanted" Cheat or "Infinite Health." Now, which one is "safer?" The Health one seems like it wouldn't harm the Save, but the No Wanted Level Cheat? Are Cheats permanent after you Save?

 

Over the few months when I finished, I got a lot of tips about different routes to take when shooting it back to Ganton. The one fnxrak uses is just too hard for me and I always get killed 2/3 of the way back to Ganton. I am gonna see which way is the best. I hope to one day obtain it WITHOUT Cheats. I feel if I DO it (even with Cheats) it'll give me the power to do it without Cheats right after doing it with them...

 

Lets hope! At least I will have a damn AP Greenwood tomorrow, regardless. I will be also working on the AP Fire Truck, too!

[OrionSR]

Speaking of cheat, it looks like they've finally cracked the plain text cheat strings for all PC cheats.

 

Which FI Savanna is causing crashes? Is this the one Pomor worked out for... Photo Opportunity? The mission taking pictures in Angel Pine. I was unaware that there were any problems. When does the game crash?

 

Master saves and 4 star exploration have a difficulty rating similar to special vehicle collection. There's a really steep learning curve but once you beat the Burgershot asset using a Faggio you'll be on pretty solid footing in restricted territory.

[Lethal Vaccine]

The one in High Stakes, Low Rider. The one in Photo Opportunity is easy to get. You just arm it with a bomb before driving to Angel Pine and blow it up. Then use a Tanker to push the blown up wreck back to Doherty Garage in San Fierro. That one doesn't f*ck your game up. It's the one in High Stakes, Low Rider which crashes the game. Same for the AP Remington, AP Blade, and AP Majestic...

 

I have a guy working on a Video to show right now, but it might be sh*tty quality. But as long as people get the picture and see how it's done is all I care about, really. I used Douglas' H/EC Boxville Video to obtain it myself and his Video was recorded on a Cell Phone from a TV playing the PS2 disc of VCS...However, I got the picture of what I had to do, regardless of the quality and actually obtained it myself the way he got it.

 

Anyways, shortly I will boot up my 99.47% Save and get the AP Greenwood and try again for the AP Fire Truck, but I am taking the Douglas Route this time and see if it's easier. If I can make it to the Bomb Shop without the Mission Failure notice, then I am in the clear, basically. The hardest part is getting out of the Bomb Shop without losing Tenpenny. And if I can do that, then I am in the clear and can get this WITHOUT Cheats. It's just that f*cking Greenwood that bothers me. sh*t Vehicle, but I want it.

 

 

 

EDIT: f*ck it, I am getting lazy. I am gonna use "Jack Reacher's" BC PS3 Starter Save for San Andreas when I do my SA Save File 2. I can't be bothered to do all this myself. However, he has 3 Helicopters impounded and knowing me, since I haven't a clue about Impounds yet, they will be deleted. He also has a Rustler in Doherty, I think...

Can someone inform me as to what is so special about the Sandking in a Starter/Master Save? I want to use this Starter Save cuz he actually has a lot of the EP/FP type of Vehicles I wanted to get in my SA Save File 2...

Edited April 23, 2015 by Militia

[Lethal Vaccine]

Got the AP Greenwood first try..........................With "Infinite Health" Cheat...

 

To be honest, I don't give a f*ck. I am running out of steam. Too much GTA and Special Vehicle collecting in 10 GTA Games + numerous Save Files has burned me out...

 

I just want to have it in a Save. Now I do. I got 100%, Perfect Stats, and 45 Special Vehicles in my other Save. But this Save File has ONE Cheat. Now onto the AP Fire Truck...

Edited April 23, 2015 by Militia

[OrionSR]

The Sandking is only available in Bone County. A Sandking with hydraulics raised is easy to drive over the rail of the Mako Span, so the non-hydraulic version is a little harder to get. My preference is without hydraulics; I do a lot of manual camera adjustments with my gamepad.

 

My strategy for recording PS2 video was to route the S-video and audio outputs through a video camera and use the crappy composite video out and built in speakers from the camera to play while recording. The missions were recorded on tape and then fed into my PC using a firewire connection. If you've got the right hardware it's not too difficult to make fairly high quality PS2 videos.

 

You can use downloaded PS2 saves? You might want to consider playing around with my Chain Game for PS2 saves. One of the design elements was to provide a playground for players to learn 4-star exploration. Max armor has been increased by 100 (this was mostly to make 4-star gang wars survivable), there are warps between distant regions, vehicles have been parked in critical locations, and hideout with weapons and plenty of ammo are always open in each major region. And if this seems too much like cheating to you then try to consider the CG4PS2 saves as a game plus. You've already completed the game several times. You should be able to play with your cars and unlocked and enjoy new and unusual reward vehicles (a complete set of mutant bikes, Andromada, FBI Truck, RC Cam on v2), attempt difficult challenges not normally available (4-star racing, smuggling a Rhino into LS) and complete new and improved unique stunt jumps. Think of it this way; I did the cheating, not you. You are simply playing with the same rules in a different environment.

[Lethal Vaccine]

I see. If I use his Starter Save, I might remove that Sandking. Also the Patriot and the AP Girlfriend Vehicles since I got all of this stuff. I am using his Starter Save mainly for the Hotknife, Phoenix, Turismo, Sea Sparrow, etc, etc, etc...All of these were/are on my list to get for my SA Save File 2. Now I don't need to get them since I can just use his Starter Save which has all the nonsense done which I am thankful of.

 

The guy who is making the HS,LR AP Vehicles Video is actually playing SA on Mobile...It's not on PS2 or PC. But that's cool to know about the recording on PS2...

 

Why not? You're the one who told me about it, since it's for the BC PS3. I never would of found it, since I don't go on GTA Garage since it's all mod related stuff which I don't really care about, tbh. But it was cool knowing he did the Save and it's got mainly all those early EP/FP Vehicles I wanted...BC PS3 is not PS2. Downloading a PS2 Save to put onto my Memory Card is a dead end, but his Save is designed for the BC PS3. It's so easy, you just copy folder onto USB Drive, put USB into BC PS3 and copy it to the Virtual Memory Card. The nonsense, cumbersome, ridiculous method on getting PS2 Saves onto the Memory Card is a dead end and doesn't work for me...

 

Well, as I said...I got the AP Greenwood. But you don't see me jumping up and down with excitement. It's just not the same as doing it without cheats. It just doesn't feel right. It was so damn easy to get (with Infinite Health) that it didn't even phase me yet. I say to myself now "That's it?" That was just TOO easy. This is the reason Cheats are out of the question. But because I had this 99.47% Save PLUS my 100% Save, I decided to boot up the 99.47% Save and get the AP Greenwood with 1 Cheat. Now I want to figure out the AP Fire Truck, cheating or not. I don't care. It's the end of the game and I just want to experience these Vehicles.

 

The Vehicle of Death Cheat is lame, since sure it makes anything AP, but it also makes your Vehicle a Tank and everything explodes when you run into things, which is lame. I want an AP Vehicle, not a Rhino Tank in another Vehicle Model...

 

EDIT: Also, my BC PS3 can simply make the conversion back to the PS2 file extension. I can put my Memory Card Adapter into the PS3 and put Saves from my PS2 Memory Card onto my PS3 and I can do the opposite, and take them from my PS3 and put them back onto the PS2 Memory Card. So Jack Reacher's Starter Save can be on my PS3 and it can ALSO be on my PS2 Memory Card if I wanted to...

 

EDIT 2: I do NOT recommend using Cheats for any Special Vehicles, guys. It just sucks the fun right out of it, like most of you noted a page or two back in this topic... I am NOT listing the AP Greenwood as obtained in my Profile and where I list my Special Vehicles, etc, cuz it doesn't count with Cheats. I just like to have it in this Cheated Save...

 

EDIT 3: Jack Reacher's Save does NOT work. Why? Cuz his is a SLES File, not a SLUS. SLES = Europe. SLUS = USA.

 

EDIT 4: VEHICLE OF DEATH CHEAT DOES NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE A TANK ON PS2!!!!! It just makes a normal AP Vehicle. But once stored, it's BP/EP only...At least I can have an AP Ladder Fire Truck temporarily...

Edited April 23, 2015 by Militia

[Lethal Vaccine]

AP Greenwood Obtained WITHOUT Cheats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I used a different route to get it, far away from peds and cops...

 

 

 

Like this, except I did NOT get the SWAT Tank simultaneously as I already have it. I also did NOT use the Minigun. Good ol' Sawn-Off Shotgun...

Edited April 24, 2015 by Militia

[Lethal Vaccine]

I don't ever hear people talk about the AP HPV-1000 from Reuniting the Families. I only ever hear about it from Small Town Bank. However, I always get it from RtF.....

 

 

 

Note: The location the Greenwood gets destroyed where you get the AP HPV-1000, also features an EP Police Car, but it's obviously inferior to the DP/EP/FP/MP one and it's even inferior to an EP/FP one from Gray Imports...

[OG Viking]

http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=8698

And he's got in the Mulholland garage: Seasparrow, Bullet, Tourismo and Sandking!!! Three fat cars inside that shoe-box.

 

 

 

Can someone inform me as to what is so special about the Sandking in a Starter/Master Save? I want to use this Starter Save cuz he actually has a lot of the EP/FP type of Vehicles I wanted to get in my SA Save File 2...

It takes a small amount of work to get the Sandking and it's not that difficult. Without hydraulics, use a cop car as stepping stone to climb the rail. And hope that your car survive landing below the bridge.

The Sandking is a great car and that alone makes it worth collecting. It's good on and off road, and fast too.

 

 

 

 

Cuz his is a SLES File, not a SLUS. SLES = Europe. SLUS = USA.

wtf

 

 

 

EDIT 4: VEHICLE OF DEATH CHEAT DOES NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE A TANK ON PS2!!!!! It just makes a normal AP Vehicle.

The vehicle of death cheat does that on my PS2 version. Activate the cheat and any car I drive becomes a tank. A tank that is not FP... So it's not so great after all. I've not tried to save a vehicle-of-death car in a garage.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Sea Sparrow is on top of Mulholland I'd imagine. Bullet and Turismo, same thing. Sandking is inside the ACTUAL Garage, 3 on top. 4 in total.

 

Yeah, I never had much "experience" with a Sandking in ANY GTA Games. It's usually a Vehicle I never drove or care to drive, but it does sound fun to get in SA. I am sure I can do all this stuff on 4 Stars, but I never tried any of it yet. I like taking the easy way out. So instead of a Turismo (if it's too much of a hassle), I can get a Super GT, instead. They spawn in Los Santos, but very rarely. Same for the Comet and Cheetah...If some of the early EP/FP type of Vehicles are too hard to get, I will go for some found in Los Santos that I like and are fast. They don't have to be ultra, uber rare like the Phoenix, Euros, Hotknife, etc, etc, etc. However, I DO still want to try and get them...

 

Yeah, Jack Reacher's File Extension is SLES, which is European File Format, not from the USA. USA is SLUS File Extension...........This is why people play PC, you can pass Save Files around from Africa, to Australia, and back to the USA. You can pass Save Files around like it's Aids. Meanwhile, my PS3 is wearing a HAZMAT suit and is NOT accepting any of this stuff. I don't even know why I bother. It's ME or it's nobody. Only I can do what I need, nobody seems to ever be able to help. Even for the AP Greenwood, nobody was able to help, so I figured out a way myself and just did it. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard this route back to Ganton, cuz you surpass so many peds with guns and the cops. In fact, when I got to Ganton with the AP Greenwood wreck right in front of the Garage with the Garage opened via Sanchez blocking the door, I had FULL health and 50% armor. That's how much I was able to avoid problems. Whereas when I tried fnxrak's route, I was always killed like clockwork at the SAME location. By the Cluckin' Bell and the Car Wash. I mean, anyone can use whatever route and method they like, but I found that to be a HORRIBLE route. That route is all about luck. But if too many peds spawn, you WILL die. No doubt about it. The way I went avoided it ALL and was quite easy, tbh. Glad I got one of the hardest Special Vehicles in SA, surely in the top 3. Others are the DP/EP/FP/MP Police Car and AP Fire Truck...

 

Remember.......I got the ORIGINAL PS2 Version. You guys are playing those "updated" PS2 Versions or Platinum/Greatest Hits or whatever. When I type in VoD Cheat standing in front of the Vehicle I want to make AP, and then I get into said Vehicle and type it in again, mine becomes fully AP and when I run into Cars, NOTHING happens, they just bounce away as if any other large Vehicle runs into a Car, etc. I used the Ladder Fire Truck and I used a Sea Sparrow. Both I made AP and BOTH did NOT explode ANY Vehicles on the Road...But when I store it, it's only BP/EP. No more DP/FP. So essentially in my Version of SA, I can make ANY AP Vehicle I want and have fun with it for a session without Saving. It's awesome...

 

But still, I don't recommend the Cheats. It's not fun in the slightest...

[OG Viking]

Sea Sparrow is on top of Mulholland I'd imagine. Bullet and Turismo, same thing. Sandking is inside the ACTUAL Garage, 3 on top. 4 in total.

A chopper and two cars on the roof?! Very practical... LOL. It must be a very tight fit. I usually store two cars and a bike below, and only the chopper on the roof.

 

 

 

Having different file formats for different continents is ridiculous. Who would come up with an idea like that? A sadist committed to make life difficult for gamers.

 

 

What route did you take for the AP Greenwood?

[Lethal Vaccine]

Nah, in jam8tone's Video about maximizing Vehicle Storage, and also his "Bonus Video" showing his Collection of his previous Special Vehicle Save, he, too, has a Sea Sparrow, Tampa, and Tahoma on top, and the Voodoo in the actual Garage. 3 can surely fit up there. Even fnxrak's one Video I saw yesterday, he put the Turismo up there and already had the Sea Sparrow up there. I am positive 3 Vehicles can fit on top (one being the Sea Sparrow) and another inside the Garage.

 

When I did my current Save last December, at one time I had 2 Cars and 2 Bikes inside the actual GARAGE and nothing on the roof. EXTREME tight fit. Currently, I have nothing in Mulholland and moved everything out of there a while ago. In fact, I have NOTHING in Los Santos except for El Corona (4 Vehicles) and Santa Maria Beach (3 Vehicles). Ganton and Mulholland are completely free possibly for some extra FP Vehicles when I feel like it.

 

You're telling me. It's a pain in the ass these days. Nothing is ever simple with Game Saves. Absolutely pathetic nonsense if you ask me...

 

The one shown in the Video above...You didn't check it? I said I went that same exact route the guy in the Video did, except I didn't get the SWAT Tank at the same time and I didn't use the Minigun. Just the Sawn Off Shotgun.

 

The hardest part is once you shoot it down the road, you gotta shoot it up and over the railing and make it fall down the stairs. Then once you do that, you shoot it through the little pathway which will take you to the grassy section which has a fence with a gap in it. You shoot it through this gap, which makes the wreck fall down on the freeway/highway. Then you shoot it up the highway a bit into the tiny section of Ganton, below the bridge up above. Then you just shoot it directly to your Garage in the circle. You avoid peds and cops literally from the time you shoot it over the railing near the stairs all the way until you reach Ganton's circle. But if you have full health and some armor left, you just don't stop shooting it. You're priority is to get it to the Garage as quickly as you can. Then I used a Sanchez to pry open the Garage and quickly shot it in. Then got on my Sanchez to drive it out and close the Garage, which re-newed it.

 

This method literally only took 2 tries. The other one I never even got it to the Bridge above Ganton to shoot it off. I'd be dead before even getting there...I got it even first try, but it disappeared as the door was closing on it. Second try, it re-newed in the Garage and I finally got it.

 

It also helped that 2 days prior to getting it legit, I used Infinite Health Cheat to get it, which gave me some sort of feeling I could get it WITHOUT Cheats, and low and behold......I did.

 

Like you said, though, it's a piece of sh*t, but just because it's such a serious novelty and the Vehicle which I think of the most when I think of SA, I absolutely love it. Yesterday I drove it around from Los Santos to San Fierro to Las Venturas and back to Los Santos. Went on a police chase, etc, etc.

 

Keep your BP/FP Greenwood, though, just in case you can't get the AP Greenwood. It's still a serious bitch and you must stay focused and determined 100% of the time...

 

Here is what I have in my 100% Save and where it's all stored:

 

Ganton: Empty
Mulholland: Empty
Santa Maria Beach: AP/EC Newsvan, AP/EC Vortex, EC BF Injection
El Corona: AP Infernus, AP Glendale, AP Greenwood, AP/EC Feltzer

Dillimore: EC ZR-350, BP Forklift, EC Pizza Boy
Palomino Creek: BP/EP/FP/MP/EC Fortune, BP/EP/FP/MP/EC Elegy, AP HPV-1000, AP FCR-900

Doherty: AP Savanna, DP/EP/FP/MP Rancher, DP/FP Rumpo, BP/EP/FP/MP Patriot
Hashbury: BP Tanker, AP Boxville, AP Romero, BP/FP Voodoo
Calton Heights: AP Hustler, AP Bandito, AP Merit
Paradiso: EC Burrito, EC Stretch, AP PCJ-600, AP Sanchez

Verdant Meadows: AP Mothership, AP Police Ranger, AP Buffalo, AP Tampa
Hanger: AP Monster, AP/EC Maverick, Unique/BP/FP SWAT Tank
Fort Carson: EP/FP/EC Perennial, EP/FP/EC Mesa, Off-Road/EP/FP/EC Pony, BP/MP/EC Walton

Prickle Pine: AP/EC Bravura, AP Sentinel, AP Sabre, AP Sadler

Whitewood Estates: BP/FP Tahoma, AP/EC Admiral
Rockshore West: Empty
Redsands West: Empty

 

As you can see, I still got quite a few spaces left and I have 46 Special Vehicles. I can easily get into the 50's for Special Vehicles obtained if I got some FP Race Vehicles or something, or the FP Fire Truck Level 1/2 Vehicles, etc...

Even fnxrak's one Video I saw yesterday, he put the Turismo up there and already had the Sea Sparrow up there. I am positive 3 Vehicles can fit on top (one being the Sea Sparrow) and another inside the Garage.

But what's the point in having two cars on the roof? A fast bike can jump the roof but I'm not sure if a car can. If a car can do it, it's gotta be the Bullet. Using a Packer is "easy" but to get one at the other side of the city seems like a waste of time.

 

In Mulholland I usually park my special Mesa first (diagonally), then my Tampa (straight). And at last one tiny vehicle beside the Tampa. It's tight but not very tight.

 

BUT, since a Seasparrow and two cars can fit on the Mulholland roof, I wonder what else might fit there. A News Chopper? I have read that only Seasparrows and Sparrows fit there, but I'm not sure if that meant anything bigger is impossible, or just difficult to fit.

It would be so nice if all aircrafts would fit, especially a Hydra!

 

 

 

 

 

You're telling me. It's a pain in the ass these days. Nothing is ever simple with Game Saves. Absolutely pathetic nonsense if you ask me...

So true. Nothing is designed with simple use in mind anymore. When things got digital all sorts of roadblocks popped up, and continue to pop up.

An example is HDCP, a standard roadblock designed to prevent transfer of data over HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort. The purpose was to prevent piracy, but it may also mean problems if some of your equipment predate this standard and are not HDCP compliant.

HTG Explains: How HDCP Breaks Your HDTV and How to Fix It.

 

 

 

 

 

The one shown in the Video above...You didn't check it? I said I went that same exact route the guy in the Video did, except I didn't get the SWAT Tank at the same time and I didn't use the Minigun. Just the Sawn Off Shotgun.

I didn't watch it because it would spoil things for me. I never prioritized to follow the storyline to the end. The storyline in San Andreas is quite poor IMO, so I didn't find the missions very inspiring. But I intend to finish it so I prefer to not spoil it. I followed the story to SF but not to the last island.

But after I restarted the game I got interested in collecting vehicles, and it makes the missions more interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

The hardest part is once you shoot it down the road, you gotta shoot it up and over the railing and make it fall down the stairs. Then once you do that, you shoot it through the little pathway which will take you to the grassy section which has a fence with a gap in it. You shoot it through this gap, which makes the wreck fall down on the freeway/highway. Then you shoot it up the highway a bit into the tiny section of Ganton, below the bridge up above. Then you just shoot it directly to your Garage in the circle.

Now I get a better idea of where you start shooting the Greenwood, and your route strike me as logical. I don't mean to brag but I think I would have found the same route as you did.

 

 

 

 

 

Keep your BP/FP Greenwood, though, just in case you can't get the AP Greenwood. It's still a serious bitch and you must stay focused and determined 100% of the time...

Is getting the AP Greenwood harder on PS2 v2? If it's not much harder on v2 then I will go for it and dump my current Greenwood. It may be hard but I have the impression that some other vehicles are harder.

The Cars on the Roof can be driven off...? What do you mean "jump the roof?"

 

Nope. jam8tone made note that NO other Helicopter can save on Mulholland Roof...

 

Ugh........Douglas converted Jack's Save to SLUS........STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!!!

 

That is how I feel. Without Special Vehicles, the Games aren't as fun as they were when I was in my teens. Everything is piss easy these days, so Special Vehicle collecting gives it a far greater challenge...

 

Well, I didn't "find" this route. It was the guy in the Youtube Video who does the beastly move of getting the Greenwood AND SWAT Tank at the SAME time with ONE Mission Failure instead of two. He's insane...

 

Why would it be harder on V2? Same ped density and cops on all Versions, I'd imagine...It's the constant cop spawns which give you the constant, annoying 1 star wanted level and the crazy whores and drug dealers with pistols who shoot you to death that is the problem with the Greenwood. The reason I went this other way was to avoid majority of it all, which helped a lot and aloud me to obtain it...

By jumping the roof... I meant jumping the vehicle up there by speeding up the hill on the south-east side. Very likely to be impossible with cars, but I've done it with a motorbike by chance.

Yeah, I figured that out a bit late a little after I made the post

 

I never tried it that way. I never tried it period, as I never had a need to store anything on the Roof, but the only method I know is with the Packer.

 

You said you're in San Fierro right now? Did you get the AP FCR-900 yet? That one is a bitch. I can do it again now, and probably faster, but for some reason when I tried to get it before, it took SO many tries before I finally got it. I came to conclusion: If I have to shoot a Special Vehicle back, I MUST have a random Motorcycle inside to pry the Garage Door open and keep it open. The once I shoot the wreck in, I quickly get onto the Motorcycle and drive out with looking behind me as the Garage Door closes on the wreck to re-new it. For ALL 4 of the Special Vehicles which require you to Shotgun it back (AP/EC Bravura, AP FCR-900, AP/EC Newsvan, and AP Greenwood), I used a Motorcycle to hold the Garage open every time and it worked. Without one, it disappeared in front of the Garage a lot and I could never shoot it inside quick enough, or the damn thing would touch the Garage door which would make it disappear, too. Then I finally tried with a Motorcycle to pry the Garage open and it worked every time flawlessly. Never disappearing anymore...I didn't realize this until AFTER tons of failed attempts with the Bravura and FCR-900. When I finally got the the Newsvan and the Greenwood, I wised up and wouldn't even try unless I parked a random Motorcycle in the Garage I would be shooting it back to.

 

 

EDIT: What is the RC Helicopter? Goblin or Raider? I know the Baron is the Plane. But I also heard the term Raider and Goblin for the Helicopter. What is the name exactly?

both are helicopters but slightly edited. i belief the helicopter in demolition man (vice city) is an rc goblin and at the airport race it's an rc raider.

 

and in san andreas its an rc goblin because the rc raider was never put in the game

Last time I had SF unlocked was several years ago, now in this game I'm still in LS. I have not played in a few weeks and I don't remember exactly where I left. But all the key missions for exploiting 4-star territory are available, and I can make more FP/EP vehicles.

 

I can't help with the Raider/Goblin name.

The Sparrow and Sea Sparrow can both be stored on the Mulholland roof. Um... maybe at the same time - haven't tried.

Unoccupied aircraft behave very different so I think you can store four helicopters on the roof. But having more than one may prove a problem when you want to use one of them.
