Paisan™ Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 So I just finished the Avenging Angels mission & was about to park my Avenger into the garage. When the garage opened, my UC Banshee was gone. Can someone tell me WTF is going on? Im really pissed ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooking Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 You either parked it there during the mission and didn't check after finishing it, or it just vanished which has like a 0,0000001% of happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Vaccine Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) http://gtaforums.com/topic/880057-how-the-fck-do-i-get-the-helicopter-outta-my-staunton-garage/ ...Not this again... There is an entire Topic dedicated to Special Vehicles in LCS. Is it seriously that difficult to use it instead of making random Topics about random Special Vehicles? And, it's common sense. Garages/Parking Spaces are NOT 100% reliable. Anyone into Special Vehicles makes backups of the Saves so this doesn't happen. If it does, it's only temporary and you can just reload the previous backup Save and work up to the moment you lost the Vehicle. I've lost Special Vehicles in III, VC, SA, LCS, VCS, IV, TLaD, TBoGT, and V. With CW being the only reliable GTA since it has a completely different Garage Storage System compared to the other 9 GTA's. Lesson Learned: Make Backups, or you'll be sorry. That simple. The Portland Garage loves to swallow Vehicles, in general. If you play the game, you'll notice it's very common with this specific Garage since even IN the Garage, there is space that is NOT saving Vehicles very close to the Garage Door when it closes. You may think it's safe cuz it's "in the Garage," but a lot of times they will be deleted once the Garage closes down. In fact, I lost my H/BP/DP/FP/PP/WP/EC Chrome Red PCJ-600 about 3-4 days ago, but since I make Backups, I just reloaded the Backup Save with not much progress lost. It's all about experience and you'll see this is common...Afterall I just finished LCS to 100% with Special Vehicles for the 24th time 2 days ago. I've seen this happen dozens of times...

Paisan™ Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 I reloaded the game and completed Avenging Angels again, and the Banshee and Avenger were in the garage until I checked again today and the Banshee was gone. WTF is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) So I watched Vanhela's YouTube video on obtaining the AP/PP/H Banshee from Leon McAffrey during Sayonara Sindaccos, and it seemed easy enough so I gave it a few attempts on my PS2. Every attempt failed at this one point every single time. It was the same point over and over. So I was fine with OM0, the only problem (the one point where I kept failing) was when the cut scene ended (I always skip it) and I had to enter McAffrey's Banshee. I was screwed. You know why? Because I had to press triangle to enter the damn car, the problem with that being that pressing triangle got rid of the Bumps & Grinds menu, therefore the whole process was screwed. What can I do? I am unable to enter the car and keep the menu! Please help! Thanks in advance. Edited July 19, 2017 by ClaudeIzABadAzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart - Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 You enter cars by pulling L3 to the left or right, holding that position and pressing triangle. Now you can release L3. please use the svs topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisan™ Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Let go of the triangle first. Thank you! it is with great pleasure that I announce to you that I have finally obtained this beast! HOWEVER, due to my own fault, I lost my Maverick and my Heavy Ballot Van ;( I'm a dumb motherf*cker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Well guys guess what, A CAR HAS DISAPPEARED for the 3rd time! This time, I lost my EC Black Pony and my H/UH PCJ-600. Guys it's happened three times now, something is going on. Every time I lose a car, it's in the Portland Garage, and the only vehicle that keeps staying in there is my Avenger. I don't know why this keeps happening when jam8tone can have 4 cars in the Portland Garage without any disappearing. This is really starting to f*ck me off.

SpriteFan274 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is why you DON'T open Garages when you play the game unless you want to store a Special Vehicle. This is also why you should make BACKUPS. Don't let the Garage Door close without you looking at it, don't run around aimlessly, always keep your Camera at the Garage, don't open them before immediately running in your Safehouse to save and DON'T save the Vehicles too close to the Garage Door itself. I've NEVER had so many Vehicles despawn, so you're not being careful enough. Lethal Vaccine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've NEVER had so many Vehicles despawn, so you're not being careful enough. I don't make backups, I'm not THAT dedicated to Unique Vehicles like you guys are. It's just that when I store a vehicle, I expect it to remain stored unless I move it. After I store a special vehicle, I let the door close and then I open and close it a few times to make sure it saved the car before I save the game. I also don't run around aimlessly and I don't move the camera when I'm opening/closing the garage. I guess if I'm not careful enough, I can't complain when cars going missing.

SpriteFan274 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 See? This is EXACTLY why they vanish. If you don't open your Garage at all, the game won't load the Vehicles in the Garages and they'll be saved along with their Properties and Geometry. if you open and close it a million times, the game will load up the Vehicles in the Garages and they might have a chance to disappear. If you don't make Backups and when the Vehicle disappears, you'd need to start from the beginning..... It's always better to make Backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah but what I'm saying is, they shouldn't be disappearing. No matter how many times you open/close the garage door, they should remain, that's why it's called a garage. Do you know why they vanish? Glitch? Bug? Poor design?

SpriteFan274 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) They should remain. Yes. Do they remain? No, if you're not careful enough. At the end of my 2nd LCS Save File my Thunder-Rodd just disappeared for no reason in the Garage also. I just reloaded. And of course it IS a bug/glitch. Thing is that it happens sometimes. The game won't listen to you when you command it to do something, the game behaves in that way and you should follow its rules and find alternatives so you can avoid these issues...
