Great, but how do you make one of the Mavericks fly off?

 

The Just Business vehicles are one of the easiest vehicles, actually.

[MrPhantom]

Oh after this fun I'm a black-Mavericks-fly-off expert for sure I can do it anytime now and teach you but I guess if I reach that far with my sec savefile, I already moved on with this one. If you don't want a teach-vid, I can describe it rn.

 

Just Business- phh not for me I don't want to see any NE coach or ¡AP! NE BF-400 ever in the future. Nebulas were still ok..

...PC/Android Exclusive Options. Frame Limiter? Unheard of on a Console. 60 FPS, also unheard of. Don't need PC Master Race...

[MrPhantom]

+Plus about COVRA's method, that is only a SPECIFIC mehod how to get one maverick fly away, and it can only happen to third maverick appearing, and only if u shoot this and the fourth one a bit with a minigun and wait a bit to destroy the fourth. Then the third automatically starts flying in the direction of the dam. You have to make third and the fourth appear at the same time, that can only happen if you destroy the first and the second one together. Dont get irritated as probably the third will fly back towards the leviathan, but NO, dont shoot at it, its on its way to dam. When I first tried it, I was like "Do I need to use magic to do this???" But now Ive done it sooo many times and figured out how it really works. Dont even think that its now like start-the-mission-and-jack-the-leviathan, for beginners you may still fail, cause u still have to shoot those both mavericks low-health but leave alive, it can take many tries. You dont have to shoot guys off from sides, it is just really important, that its a THIRD heli. Dont even try this with other helis, they dont like this dam.

 

Found my own strategy from page 104.

 

And yeah I'm pretty noob about comupters all I know that Frame Limiter ON on good PCs prevents vehicles disappear quickly in front of the garages. I have tried it with AP Newsvan, AP Greenwood and AP/UC2 Bravura so far, ALL disappeared for me in multiple attempts, I was like eat your ass, not my cars but I switched FL ON and now I have all those vehicles. +DP Leviathan now

Imagine how difficult it is for someone without these Exclusive Options like Replay, Frame Limiters, this and that. Hence why when someone does something on the HARDER Platform, I will always praise it MORE THAN when someone does something on the EASIER Platform. Too many Options + with the Increase Draw Distance makes all the difference when obtaining Special Vehicles.

 

Garage swallows it, you just reload and try again. No need to toggle Options on and off. I love how people also "get rid of traffic" by flicking the camera up and down quickly to refresh traffic. Can't do that on a Console, either. You're stuck with a million Vehicles and the dumb AI always in front of you. Can't get rid of it at all...

 

Anyways, still, it's good you got the DP Leviathan. Maybe during my 2nd Save File for sh*ts and giggles I will "obtain it" and just show Photos of flying a DP Leviathan with Blue Arrow above it back to the SF Impound, then blowing it up with Mission Failure screen and restoring it in the Impound. It's not really a hard Vehicle. I just never understood the Black Maverick part or the Impound part. Well, I know the Impound part, but it loves to delete Vehicles, especially wrecks...

[MrPhantom]

Oh yea bro. Oh yea. That's why I'm still scared about this method, there is a possibility I had some luck in impound. Hope it truly keeps wrecks alive, sometimes. For me, Maverick part is ez, Pushing onto a save slot in impound is ez (on foot, preserving heavy trucks is still out of ma hands), Entering Leviathan is ez. What would you want more?

 

Oh and I forgot something important, I'm still wondering how the guy whi made vid on page 1 managed to play with a wreck inside an impound THAT long, I mean I destroyed the Heli on a save slot while I was ONE step away from saving radius and was still lucky it didn't eat my wreck. This method Is hard, you wanna be fast If you want to push the heli onto a save slot Before the cutscene takes place, that is what made it worth 6 stars for me. Destroying the heli that soon like in the vid caused the wreck disappear after 5 secs, both FL ON and OFF. That actually makes Heavy trucks rubbish and you actually would like to have an EMPTY save slot when you rush in with running-pushing the Heavy Heli.

Edited July 7, 2017 by MM KJ

[Lethal Vaccine]

Well, yeah, that is the issue. Wrecks. You think the Wrecks of the AP Vehicles you need to sawn-off shotgun back to a Garage are bad and are eaten, well wrecks inside an Impound are even more vulnerable to be deleted. There is numerous Videos on Youtube at this point of people obtaining the infamous Hydra in a Starter Save and it takes them ages. They can get it all the way into the Impound, even in the first couple of Attempts, but once it gets near the Impound Zone and are so close to obtaining it, POOF! Gone...

 

On PS2, when you hover near the SF Impound with a Helicopter and wait for a Hydra to spawn and crash into a Building....None spawn. It's ALWAYS harder on a Console. Nobody realizes it, since nobody actually plays it unless they are older and were living in their teens in the late 90's and early 00's. All these Techno-Babies were born in today's society spoiled with HD TV's, high end PC's, this and that, so of course they wouldn't dare to play on the Platform the original game was released for which is PS2. All other Platforms that get the release are just hand-me-downs. It's always released to Playstation first, Xbox, PC, Mobile, all that nonsense comes AFTER it's original release. PS2 V1's forever...

[fooking]

Just Business- phh not for me I don't want to see any NE coach or ¡AP! NE BF-400 ever in the future. Nebulas were still ok..

Frame Limiter is only good for races and for pushing vehicles. For other things I have it off.

 

Those took me 3 tries I honestly can't see why they are difficult, apart from the fact that the BF-400 is sometimes not NE while the Coach is. The NE BF-400 from here is useless though, as you can get a NE BF-400 at any time later on. Getting a NE Coach is a lot harder.

[MrPhantom]

Well yeah it's a shame I sold my GTA SA PS2 version along with a console.. Used to play with my buddy back in the day, every time I visited him, it was classic. Definitely not the same like on PC today. Pretty much same with GTA V for me. I have the original XBOX 360 version along with is glitches and sh*ttier graphics, but for me, in PC, the updates and multiplayer make good Special vehilces common on streets and story mode useless for players and its not a classic GTA V for me. Thats why I haven't even thought about buying a PC version.

 

Well for me it's easier to drift when frame limiter is off. Game is more fluent, but I can't complete bike school or some story missions like Ammo crate robbery mission and also ammo train mission, where you have to drop boxes, CJ drops them in front of him. These are minor things that require frame limiter and it's not a pain to turn in ON. But I also keep it OFF all the time. I also have problems with 2560x1440 reso and widescreen fix, so I have an 1.0 american version of SA.

 

But about our pal DP Leviathan, hope Fookin the strategy works out for you and if you manage to try it, it will be good, I'd like to hear some other opinions.

Edited July 8, 2017 by MM KJ

[fooking]

Drifting etc. is easier with the frame limiter on, but the handling of vehicles is MUCH better with the frame limiter on. Almost any car will handle as an off-road vehicle on grass if you have it off, and spin-outa barely happen anymore.

 

I personally only have it on for races, which I will skip this time because I can duoe safehouses for extra percentage.

 

Yeah, as soon as I get the DP Leviathan I'll upload it.

[Lethal Vaccine]

These are minor things that require frame limiter

 

How so? Like I said, this stuff only exists on PC Version and Android Mobile Version (not even iOS). So if people can reach 100%, play the game normally by not skipping anything and obtain all the Special Vehicles without Glitch Factory OM0 Techniques and PC Exclusive Options, then why can't the next person do it? Less skill? No patience? You tell me. If you have patience, time is ALWAYS on your side. If you have skill, you won't need to reload so many times as you're succeeding MORE THAN you're failing. Every time I do long Runs for less Safehouse Visits, I normally succeed with it first try cuz of experience, skill, and patience. I know what's coming and did the games so many times there isn't a possibility to mess anything up anymore. Some people only play one or two GTA's as well. You'd think by now they would of mastered these games if that's all they play...

Edited July 8, 2017 by MorsPrincipiumEst

[MrPhantom]

I meant require like, for me. For my San. I don't know how but playing FL OFF causes glitches that prevent completing the story for me, I don't inow why and how. But I'm surprised that Fookin your vehicle handling is exactly the opposite, for me it's like off-road when frame limiter is OFF. Strange thing this Frame limiter

Edited July 8, 2017 by MM KJ

[fooking]

Frame limiter makes races easier. The world record for the Lowrider Race with an NRG-500 is 00:53 by MrDarkPlayer123. Reaching this time with the frame limiter off is rather easy, I was able to get 00:55 with it on. With the frame limiter on, my time was quite a bit higher, around 00:59. With the frame limiter off it's also A LOT easier to push vehicles using CJ's (and Tommy's / Claude's) body, and pushing a vehicle using a Minigun is also easy.

 

However, having the frame limiter off makes it rather hard to gain OM0, because the missions start almost instantly unlike where the black fade takes a few seconds with the frame limiter off. It also makes it almost impossible to perform the sliding glitch, and you can get instantly wasted when jumping over fences. (Sprinting and swimming is also slower, although sprinting isn't that noticeable.)

[Lethal Vaccine]

Not a Frame Limiter Topic, not a World Record Topic and if the game can be completed by countless people without toggling Options On/Off, exclusive to one Platform, and obtain all the Special Vehicles, then there is no reason other people can't do it either. The point is, people choose to take the easy way out of things when they have difficulties. Probably due to low patience and rage quitting...

 

Play on a Platform without these Options and compare how difficult things are only then can you actually judge and see for yourself that the Platforms with such Options to make things easier on the Player are always the bullsh*t Platforms. I only praise people who can achieve what a PC Player can achieve, but doing it WITHOUT all the Options the PC Player has. Simple as that...

 

A lot of morons who have no patience to push the EC Black Washington in VC also toggle Frame Limiter On just to push it easier. If they tried the other way, would they ever obtain it? Meanwhile, I got it twice without such Options on PS2 and can do it again. Why? Cuz it all boils down to skill and patience. Some people have it, some don't. Some people step up to the plate with a challenge, some people find ways to make it easier since it's too hard for them.

[Patrick1994]

Some off-topic post in a different thread:

Edit 2: Patrick, can you tell me if the scripts say anything about the black Maverick in Interdiction that flies away and never returns? If it does, what conditions have to be met?

I have seen this:

 

04A2: set_heli local_75 fly_to 204.0 2816.0 186.0 altitude_between 50.0 and 186.0;

and then the script never touches the heli again.

 

Maybe this helps already. Send me a log of it happening, otherwise.

[fooking]

I'm trying to get it to happen, but I have no idea how to trigger this.

[MrPhantom]

Wasn't my explanation clear enough? It is actually as easy as passing a shooting mission with a minigun with 99999 bullets. Shame you don't get it

 

Enough. After I reach that far with a story, I'll make a bloody good teach vid with guiding text on-screen

Edited July 8, 2017 by MM KJ

[fooking]

I tried that a few times without success

[MrPhantom]

Well GL. Just in case, try both third and fourth heli. After all the third was a third for me, but it varies which one of them comes very first. Second and first will definitely not work. To my mind I even later discovered that third and fourth were actually switched in my post by mistake. After first 2 are destroyed, put some minigun bullets into other 2 flying over your head. Just with a gut feeling, no need to kill soldiers (is rarely helpful if heli follows you to an impound gate, sometimes soldiers destroy your low HP Leviathan. But happened to me in like 5 times out of 100). No need to damage as much as possible, even like 5 bullets should make heli escape. Just wait and try to figure out which heli stops to let soldiers repell down and destroy it. Other one should fly towards LS. Also destroy the fifth. It's a cancer in the beginning I know, but once you pull it off, you are able to do it anytime, and it is a small, but necessary step to move closer to the obtainance of this DP Levi.

Edited July 8, 2017 by MM KJ

I will try again today and record it, I hope it works out because people keep bothering me to record it lol.

On PS2, when you hover near the SF Impound with a Helicopter and wait for a Hydra to spawn and crash into a Building....None spawn. It's ALWAYS harder on a Console.

All other Platforms that get the release are just hand-me-downs. It's always released to Playstation first, Xbox, PC, Mobile, all that nonsense comes AFTER it's original release. PS2 V1's forever...

I agree with your thoughts. I recently started play SA again, but I've always stuck to my Xbox original version despite the worse draw distance, poorer graphics etc. It's just the version I've played the most and have the most history with and I've always been a console gamer at heart. Never had a good enough PC to play SA on anyway. Always seemed like we were the only console players around here.

[Lethal Vaccine]

I have made a change in my plan. Once I finish my 5th and 6th VCS Save, I am actually gonna come back to SA again BEFORE I do III, which was the original plan. But since III, like VC, is so primitive with no rotating camera and sh*t Physics, it'll take a bit to get used to it, whereas I've been playing LCS/VCS for the past months since February, and the Physics are literally identical to me so if I am used to LCS/VCS, I am used to SA (other than different Traffic AI's which take very little time to get used to again) and will do better than if I did III first, got used to it's primitive nonsense, and then went back to SA after that. I need my skills top notch since I will be redoing my 13.90% Starter Save (yeah, it's 13.90% with Big Smoke Passed and EC Black Perennial Obtained. I saw you say 13.70% in another Topic), only this time I am cutting all the Stats IN HALF. Like, I had 40 Safehouse Visits last time, this time I try to do 20 or less, and this INCLUDES all the Rare Vehicles once more like the Phoenix, Turismo, Hotknife, Bullet, Euros, Seasparrow, NE NRG-500, Sandking, Bloodring Banger, Dune, etc, etc...Also ZERO Pay and Spray Visits unlike the 6 I currently have now in my Starter Save. Gonna do it once again without eating Food, only Vending Machines which don't add anything to the Stats, etc, etc. After doing IV's 6 Star Wanted Level Starter Save, SA's 4 Star Wanted Level is so f*cking easy. Hell, even VCS's 2 Star Wanted Level is more hardcore than anything SA has to offer. To get very low Safehouse Visits, though, I am gonna group certain things together and remain in the locked Territory for a while doing various things, not just gonna focus on one task at a time like I did before...

 

Then once the Starter Save is finished off, I will do the 2nd Save File (Remake) and get Unique/EP/FP RC Baron from Air Raid (No Attempts like the Side Missions) as well as some AP/EC/EM Vehicles. Not many, though. Only the quality ones. Quality > Quantity when it comes to OM0. It's not taken seriously, anyways. It's just for fun as I said back on Page 110.

 

However, since I have 4 Deaths in my 1st Save (AP/EC Maverick, Unique Andromada, AP Mothership, and AP Fire Truck), my 2nd Save will have ZERO Deaths, 1 Pay and Spray Visit, 1 Meal Eaten, probably well under 100 Safehouse Visits, etc, etc, etc. The 2nd Save will be the "Stats" Save.

 

But yeah, around August I will start since the 5th and 6th VCS Save each take roughly 2 Weeks. I can do them in 5 days, but sometimes I am not ambitious enough to do that and it'll take about 12 days. I don't really like VCS, but it has to be done. Other than IV and V, by this Winter, I will have EVERY, OBTAINABLE, EXISTING, Special Vehicle in III, VC, SA, LCS, VCS, TLaD, TBoGT, and CW. Excluding IV and V...

 

Also, long time no see. GTA_Loco also returned in my TBoGT Guide today. It's nice to see old faces...

Edited July 9, 2017 by MorsPrincipiumEst

[MrPhantom]

Nice job bro. I wish I was this war. Right now I have every single available special/rare/NE/OM0/Invisible UC2 vehicle obtained in III and VC, Very soon in GTA V and SA (first one took not less than 8 savefiles, maybe 9th has to be done). In the future I'm about to focus on GTA IV series and special vehicles in them. sh*t I CANT PLAY LCS OR VCS ON PC. I can't live with ignoring those 2!!! Hope a good mod will be released soon. Chinatown wars, Is it possible?

Edited July 9, 2017 by MM KJ

[Lethal Vaccine]

There is 9 Guides I made for the Forum and CW is one of them. All 9 are pinned. Go to the proper Section and discuss such GTA's if you desire...But to answer the question, yeah, CW has Special Vehicles. There is even Special Vehicles in GTA Advance, but no place to store them. Only 3 exist, anyways...

 

You need the right equipment if you want to play ALL the GTA's for Special Vehicles and that is the glorious Playstation 2 or the Backward Compatible PS3. I could even get I, II, and London 69 if I wanted and play the Discs on my PS3 or any PS2, as well...

 

I can't complain about Sony Exclusive GTA's since I've supported Sony since the Nintendo 64/Playstation 1 days and still am supporting them...

 

And, you're missing out. LCS/VCS, over 100 Special Vehicles in these Games, lol...

Edited July 9, 2017 by MorsPrincipiumEst

[MrPhantom]

Haha I know D: I have a friend who has the PS3 bought when it came out, maybe its possible to play something there?

[fooking]

I CANT PLAY LCS OR VCS ON PC. I can't live with ignoring those 2!!!

You can use the PPSSPP emulator to play these on your PC or phone.

 

Anyways, I saw that rtyuijhghff has the frame limiter OFF in his DP Leviathan video, maybe that makes it easier? I'll try that out after my SA stream highlights video has been uploaded.

 

I'm actually thinking about using the normal method, and storing the Leviathan in the Los Santos impound and then using the Transfender exploit to get it out of there. I will show both methods in the video. (This will work, I've sone it with an Andromada as well. I've stored the Andromada in the LS impound and I got it out safely)

[MrPhantom]

I also did the whole sh*t with FL OFF. Only turned it ON when saving a wreckage. But flying a Leviathan all the way to LS? Haha good luck with that pal, just as small detail: me being 100% certain, the Black Maverick you made fly away pulls straight after you when going over the sea between LV and SF/Countryside and destroys you but, no need mentioning I guess UNLESS you kill guys on the sides, which is extremely hard, because maverick also WONT fly towards the dam if you give it some time to head back to the mountain after first fly-over.

Edited July 9, 2017 by MM KJ

[Lethal Vaccine]

The Leviathan fits easily in SF/LV Impounds. I'd imagine the "next part of the Mission" may take place if you're not quick enough to get it back to LS like MM KJ has said already...

 

Furthermore, I wonder if you can fly it inside the Emerald Isle Car Park Lower Level, blow it up, run away while keeping the camera on it, and the Wreck gets renewed and put into the LV Impound. I am not sure if a Vehicle has to be in tact or not to use the Emerald Isle Car Park for impounding Vehicles to LV. It surely works flawlessly when they are in tact, though.

 

Interesting to also hear that it's H/DP. Heavy on a Helicopter is pretty bizarre. Just like Heavy on a Boat, which is seen in both LCS/VCS (H/EP Speeder - LCS and H/AP Jetmax - VCS). It sucks VC and SA never save the "extra" Properties like H, PP, TP, WP, UH, and PC...

Edited July 9, 2017 by MorsPrincipiumEst

[MrPhantom]

Yeah the 'next part' thing is also right. Even if a tailing maverick doesn't destroy you, it immediately backs up away from you and a cutscene takes place, You may die or be spawned in Verdant Meadows, Heli disappeared. OM0 will also not work, permanent destination blip makes game crash.

 

And yea because it is Heavy, it is 'unflippable' in water or such. It won't tilt more than 5° and not pushing it properly will cause some headache.

[fooking]

It might be possible to dupe the mission during the sequence with the Mavericks, and then passing it twice.
