PROOFED & RARE vehicle discussion

Well, jam8tone said he tried a Maverick, and it disappears, whereas the Sea Sparrow wouldn't. So "big" Helicopters are most likely out of the question...

 

I didn't know you were going very slowly in SA. I thought you were moving along now that you got the Phoenix...

 

You use the Missions to transfer Vehicles to other places? You don't go on a 4 star wanted level?

I don't know how thoroughly jam8tone was when he tested. It's difficult to know where the corners are when you can't see them. Unless they correspond exactly with the roof? It may be difficult to position a helicopter correctly and utilize the space to its maximum, because you have no walls that stops you.

 

I am going very slowly in SA all the time I don't play. I believe the last time I played on my game was a week before Easter. I remember one thing I want to try: Getting a NRG without engine.

 

If I use missions to transfer vehicles - it depends where the vehicle is and where the destination is. Also what kind of vehicle it is. Often I will use some form of pest control and Los Sepulcros is my favorite. I'm no stranger to 4 stars and I can manage it, but I prefer some piece and quiet when I'm managing my car business.

Easily can fit 3 Vehicles on top of there, but I am not sure about multiple Helicopters...

 

When I do a GTA Game, I seem to get addicted to it and not put it down until I finish it. SA, however takes just as long as IV, which is a good 3-5 weeks for me. All the other GTA's take 1-2 weeks usually for me...My Total Playing Time Stats, however, are always around 20-24 in III, VC, LCS, and CTW. VCS is high 20's, and SA and IV are in the 50's. Even V is less, and in the 40's. I put a few hours into it each day, until it's done basically. Always just a few weeks until I finish SA, but some of the stuff is so tedious and boring...

 

I think I will pussy out and just get the Sea Sparrow, Bullet, Turismo, etc, etc during this Mission, NOT in a Starter Save.

 

I think I may start my Save File 2 tomorrow. I won't be doing a 13.37% Starter Save, though. I am only doing a few things early. None of the 4 Star Wanted Level things After I finish all of the normal stuff, I might try the 4 Star stuff, but we'll see. This Save might take a while and I am not really motivated to do it, first of all

lololololololololol why can u put 3 cars on a garage??? f*ck logic xD

[Lethal Vaccine]

Every time I think of SA Save File 2, I think of the Special Vehicles I will be getting and that gives me a little "juice" to want to do another playthrough. But then I think of Import/Export, Zero Missions (PS2 Glitch on Supply Lines...), Races, and a whole bunch of other tedious, repetitive, boring tasks and the "juice" is lessened in my body and makes me not want to do it...

 

I know it'll happen sometime, but I am not sure when. I gotta be in the mood to do this, but after finishing every GTA in the same manner I do SA, I am just dead and run down with no steam left for it...

 

Not to mention, no Starter Save. So it's even worse...

[fnxrak]

Maverick doesn't save it's too long I tried several ways. Even putting 2 aircracfts (sparrow and seasparrow) there I doubt they will be usable even if they do fit but I really don't see much point on having more aircrafts there.

[Lethal Vaccine]

That is what jam8tone said in the Video, too. That the Maverick is too long and will just disappear.

 

They can be "usable" simply by running against one and knocking it off the roof with CJ's body, like how you move/push cars. Then just get in and fly away. But I too wouldn't put 2 up there. Only the Sea Sparrow...

[fnxrak]

Oh yeah lololol didn't though of that lololol anyway having a sparrow there is kind of useless if I'm not mistaken you can't get one early correct me if I'm worng thus it's impossible to have one (legit) EP/FP then when you get Madd Doggs mansion there will "always" (lolol I know it doesn't spawn all the time) be on the helipad so I think it's just a waist of a perfectly good garage space

Edited April 27, 2015 by fnxrak

[OrionSR]

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

I never intended to imply there was any use to a sparrow on the roof, only that it would fit.

 

IIRC, most of the problem with fitting larger aircraft on the roof of the Mulholland garage had to do with the ceiling height. The other aircraft won't fit unless it is raised quite a bit. I don't remember if we had to make it longer too.

Temporarily during the Doberman save, the EP/FP Seasparrow is great at opening up territories in San Fierro and Las Venturas. I would normally use the NRG 500 to get to San Fierro after doing the hood abuse glitch, it works, but not all the time. Still, I needed a quick way to get to Las Venturas and the best way I found was using the EP/FP Seasparrow.

Getting there and back was no problem but venturing into San Fierro, you need to be quick and fast with.

Sometimes you can see Ballas teleporting, even four at a time as you head to Las Venturas.

Opened up quite a few territories quite quickly, also I did the Pomor Manouver in China Town and placed Triads in Ganton. Wasn't easy and took many tries. I just liked the way Pomor found a way to do this glitch and I had to get Skylines and Imprezas driving around Ganton lol

When your territory (Ganton), gets attacked, spawn attackers and throw satchel charges at 3 or 4, even 5 attackers. Then go to a territory you want to claim, let's say Marina. Once you have entered Marina, blow the charges with RC detonator and hopefully Marina becomes GSF.

[Lethal Vaccine]

I didn't know about this. That's pretty cool.

 

AP Fire Truck is beating me up. So damn hard to control the camera... It's gonna take a very long time to get this. After finally getting the AP Greenwood without Cheats after 4 months of thinking I would never have it, I thought I could get the AP Fire Truck, but it's still a nightmare. It never lets up and I can never get closer to my goal. Same outcome every time, with a quick mission failure, which by then I must reload and retry...

Fly off the map with a Seasparrow? It's so slow, use a Shamal instead. It also has auto pilot (sort of).

[Lethal Vaccine]

Just bought SA for Mobile!

 

At least khsh97 has a very good Starter Save for the Mobile Versions up for download which works on Android and iOS.

 

EDIT: Sweet, HeroBrineR007 uploaded a 99.47% Save a while back for SA. I found it and downloaded it so I can get used to the controls and what not. It worked! So khsh97's Starter Save certainly will work for me, too! Phones are easier to toy with than Consoles trying to get Jack Reacher's Save to work, etc...

 

So my SA Save File 2 is BACK ON! Except I will not do it on my PS2/3. It's gonna be on Mobile and I will use khsh97 Starter Save which is 14.97% Complete before Big Smoke. Why is it 14.97% and not 13.37%?

Edited April 29, 2015 by Militia

[OrionSR]

Gyms are open early on mobile so a higher completion percentage can be reached.

 

Jack's save will not work on mobile. Don't bother trying.

Edited April 30, 2015 by OrionSR

[Lethal Vaccine]

Ah, ok. That's pretty cool to know, then.

 

Well, yeah, I know it wouldn't work on Mobile. It doesn't even work for anybody on PS3 in the entire North American region...His is the SLES Version, not SLUS, which renders it 100% useless for me and anybody else from the USA, basically.

 

But khsh97 has a Android/iOS Starter Save @ 14.97% and I already know for a fact it'll work on my iPhone 6 because HeroBrineR007's 99.47% Save works on my Phone. He has Android (same for khsh97) and I have iOS, but the Saves are compatible. Plug and play, really.

 

So yeah, I will use khsh97's Starter Save and start the Story in a day or two and progress to Gray Imports to make what I want EP/FP, etc...I felt like doing my SA Save File 2 on Mobile for a "change or pace" from the usual PS2/3. I am also up for a new challenge. However, I am already used to the controls and everything since I already completed Chinatown Wars on iOS the past month and got to 100% with perfect Stats and 14 Special Vehicles which is the max aloud to be stored.

 

I also want the AP Sultan without Cheats! That's definitely on my list to obtain. I can finally have it since Mobile doesn't require any Cheats for the AP Sultan.

 

I don't know why people can't get used to the Mobile Controls. They aren't bad at all. It's even easy in Chinatown Wars with Isometric/Bird's Eye View. If I can do that, SA shouldn't be hard at all. I already used Helicopters and got used to flying and everything. It's really not that bad at all...

 

Plus, in my SA Save File 2, I am going for completely different Special Vehicles. None of the 46 I currently have on my PS2/3 Save will be obtained in my Save File 2. All new ones I will get that I didn't get the first time around...

[Lethal Vaccine]

 

 

Gotta try this. I am assuming I can do this for the Majestic and Blade, too? But those are not EC I guess. But still FP. Much better than getting a Mission Failure on High Stakes, Low Rider.

 

 

 

Gets AP/EC Newsvan, EC BF Injection, and both AP/EC Vortex at the SAME time...Guys a beast. He's the same guy I followed the route when I obtained the AP Greenwood a few days back. He gets the SWAT Tank and Greenwood at the same time, though. Insane...

[Lethal Vaccine]

Having a lot of fun on the Mobile Version of SA...

 

Doing my 2nd Save File on Mobile instead of my Backward Compatible PS3 with the PS2 Version like my 1st Save File with 46 Special Vehicles is done on.

 

I am on Gray Imports currently and converting a lot of the Rare Vehicles to EP/FP. All I have left to convert is the Sea Sparrow, Sandking, Hotknife, and NRG-500. I also really like the AP Sultan! Finally, I have it without Cheats!

 

But after this comes the hell. Reuniting the Families for the DP/EP/FP/MP Police Car!

[fnxrak]

Try the pause method for PC might work on mobile!!!

[Lethal Vaccine]

It might work. I am not sure. However, HeroBrineR007 a few months back was able to obtain it on Mobile. The method _Douglas_ has stated in the beginning of this topic from months ago is the way to get it. It's heavily dependent on looking away from the cops and also shooting the Greenwood ONLY WHEN the Cops shoot at you, which lessens the health of the Greenwood even more. On PS2 and Mobile you need to destroy it early enough, before you start going up the hill right before the Police Bike Cutscene...If you destroy the Greenwood in time while going up that hill the Police Car WILL NOT BE THERE. Not good draw distance like on PC...It's always easy on PC.

 

Mobile and PS2 is very hard. Luckily, I can just give me Save to him on Skype to get me Police Car if I am still having trouble. He gave me his 99.47% Save which contains this DP/EP/FP/MP Police Car, which is really cool...

 

But now I am just obtaining the Special Vehicles I did NOT get in my PS2 Save. So across the 2 Saves, I will have all of them I wanted...

 

The AP Sultan is a very, very good Vehicle. It sucks so bad it's a Cheat Vehicle on ALL Versions of SA other than Mobile. But I am glad I got the Mobile Version and can get it without Cheats. It's very easy to get, too. I like my Mutant/EP/FP/EC BF-400, too. I forgot to get that on my PS2 Save...

Edited May 7, 2015 by Militia

[EU Mafia]

Is it possible to get the AP Infernus on the PSN version of SA? It's the same as version 2.0, where Hot Coffee was taken out and the Supply Lines fuel glitch was fixed. I hold down X as soon as the cutscene where you meet Big Bear and B-Dup came up, and pressed triangle when the final scene came up, but it didn't work. Tried a few times, but no luck so far.

[Lethal Vaccine]

It's possible to get it on ALL Versions, but the only easy way out is the PS2 Version, and the Version which was released in 2004. FIRST EDITION ONLY. Any other Version, including PSN, Digital, PC, Xbox, whatever has to obtain it the hard way with a Tractor or Monster...

 

Yeah, you can NOT get it this way. Only my First Edition Version can you get it that way with moving CJ in the cutscene. You're gonna have to use a Tractor or Monster to flip it over and blow it up and then push it back to a Garage...

[EU Mafia]

Man, that sucks! I hope an easier time at Supply Lines makes up for it...

 

Still going to try it though, haha.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Btw, can you give some help on obtaining the AP Maverick in Misappropriation, because stealing it, storing it in your garage and blowing it and yourself up (while on fire) didn't work. It should according to a guide on GFAQs, and I wasn't really up for towing it. Maybe it failed because CJ died from the fire (inside the Heli), and not from the explosion?

Edited May 4, 2015 by EU Mafia

[Lethal Vaccine]

Yeah, the Version of SA I have which I can move CJ to get the AP Infernus, is the Version with the Supply Lines... problem where the fuel runs out. I can still pass it in a handful of tries, though...

 

I've tried the Tractor/Monster Method in the past on my PS2 Version, but I could NEVER flip the Infernus and I tried it at least 40 times. Then I tried the easy method to move CJ in the cutscene and I got it on my second try. On my most current SA Save I got it first try. It's very easy doing the moving of CJ method and driving it into Glen Pond. A couple of pages back, I posted the Youtube Video on how to get it the PS2 Method of moving CJ...

u dont hav to die for the ap maverick in missaproparition!

@ EU Mafia:

 

 

[Lethal Vaccine]

I am a proud owner of the DP/EP/FP/MP Police Car in my SA Save File 2 on Mobile. I won't lie, though, I personally didn't obtain it. The King of Mobile obtained it for me (HeroBrineR007). I sent him my Save on Skype and he was able to get it within a few hours. He said he followed EXACTLY how Douglas stated a few months ago and it works. It destroys the Greenwood very early, actually right in front of the alleyway where it comes out of and there is another Police Car blocking the entrance. THAT is where you MUST destroy the Greenwood on Mobile and PS2. If not, you won't obtain it due to poor draw distance. Only on PC can you destroy the Greenwood when it goes up the hill right before the Police Bike Cutscene and it won't disappear. On PS2 and Mobile, it will.

 

Now I can finally move onto The Country. Next Special Vehicle to obtain is the AP Tanker Trailer from Tanker Commander. Then after that, the Unique/AP RC Goblin from "Wear Flowers in Your Hair."

 

Like I stated already. This Save is ONLY for the Special Vehicles I do NOT have in my PS2 Version Save...But across BOTH Save Files, I will now have all of the ones I wanted................Except the AP Fire Truck! That one is the only nightmare left...

[Bnd]

I can state that Police Car is Very Easy to get on Mobile with Pause Method it worked always, i get stuck on AP Infernus then i giveup on SA on Mobile, but still have save somewhere, Using Joystick instead of controls makes these cars easy peasy to get.

 

Also about the Goblin this method makes it easy too

 

Edited May 6, 2015 by Bender.ㅤ

[Bnd]

Also about that method, i can say that is bitch to get in Mobile becouse trams have diffrent spawn for odd reason they spawn like crazy you dont even have time to set up packer, instead of that try parking packer very close to tram tracks but not to close to dont make tram push it, then just set up car on packer, it takes me around 3-4? tries before i get it, i find it impossible to get with old method with shooting with sawnoff on RC with this crazy controls and police after you sec after you shoot...
