i got this info from a good source. you need 80 grand to buy the verdant meadows aircraft graveyard in San Fierro. so dont waste money prior to that, Once you buy the graveyard it unlocks Las Venturas & flight school & ultimately the airports.

But the aircraft graveyard is in Bone County, which is just west of Las Venturas (so it can't unlock it).

I had a look around at property today, found a decent house with a garage by the beach for $30 000 so I might get that soon, unless I unlock San Fierro before I can afford that house. A mansion up in the hills was $120 000, which seemed extremely pointless, wasn't even that flash. I guess eventually you'll get a lot more money and you may as well get it.

I'm now stuck on the lowrider racing mission, and there are no other missions that I can do.

I bought this yesterday, its pretty fun, ive already been to a little bit of las venturas when i stole and aeroplane and flew, then promptly crashed into a casino.

I also got in a boat and headed to san fierro but again died, this time coz of coppers.

i give it 9/10

I derailed the train!

Comedy genius

 

[ak47]

got it yesterday in the mail from gpstore nz, got the r18+ version - God bless u kiwis, a great job of getting my game in the mail pronto

love the game so much i have only touched 10 missions

i have played for 10 hours straight, and all i want to do is fly

how good is the gym and when u bulk up all the cut scenes have ur new massive frame.

cant wait to put on the kilos..............after i knock up a few prossys....i am off to fatland and beefing up, on burgers etc, to see how fat i can get and to see what the other say when i am 300 lbs!!!!!

i noticed you still spend the same hits tring to beat someone regardless what ur muscle bar is..............so if thats the case i am going to be a fatass BIGGY!!!
unless of course ur running ability turns into roly poly.

love the afro and thongs!!!

 

[ak47]

just found out if u get fat u struggle to jump and ran and ur speed in all areas is gorne

so now i will only get fat when i finish the game - AND BECOME THE DON!!!

where's is the horse betting - can u bet straight away or do u have to unlock it

 

[-JJ-]

I think you can do it straight away. Look at your map. I've only found the one out in the country town.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

I can't find the gym...

Edit: I need to find a lowrider, anyone any ideas? I did the mission where you have to make it dance but I turned it over on my way back to save

"Wrong side of the tracks"

is the most frustrating mission of all time

This FAQ gives some insight as to how to do it

however i have tried many times and still no result

this mission sux

Smoke cant shoot

Everytime i land on the train i always seems to get pushed off it, by wind or force or something

can u get to other citys without doing this mission?

 

[-JJ-]

St. Helens - the gym is one block to the left of Grove Street if you're coming from CJ's mothers house. It is quite hard to see on the in game map, but check out the area close to Grove Street for a picture of a weight. You can then use O to put a target on it, which will appear on your mini map.

Easiest place to find a low rider is in the district where the racing mission is - man that mission ****** me off (lowriders have **** handling and I failed about 5+ times).

ak47 - This mission also ****** me off (failed it 5+ times). Best advice is to try and get reasonably far to the right of the train as possible, as this will allow Smoke a better shooting angle.


I unlocked San Fierro last night.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Cheers for the help gentlemen. I found the lowrider and won the race with consumate ease.

I keep getting busted when finishing that moron on the bike off - keep getting 2 stars plus. I will do it sooner or later though just delaying the inevitable.

That mission is a real *****, it took me almost 10 times to finish it.

Possible spoilers below..............




























I'm now probably 6 missions in Las Venturas. The desert missions were awesome, apart from the damn flight school tests - all 10 of them. Flight School is so difficult (at least the last 3-4 with the plane, the chopper and parachute ones were easy), it took me a while to finally pass them all. I reckon that I would have spent 3 hrs trying to finish it, which has to be done otherwise you can't get into Las Venturas. Driving school in SF wasn't too bad, but I struggled on the barrel roll test. Just done motorcycle school in LV which was really easy - finished it all in probably 10-15 minutes. Btw, only the Flight School is compulsory. Good luck with it.

best way to do "wrong side of the tracks" is go on the right side of the train 2nd carriage back & fire from there, you get more hits in. after the second train goes past jump back onto the track & finish them off.

i also heard if you get 100% with the girlfriend feature she buys you gifts, pimp suits & bling. holla!

 

[ak47]

cheers guys for all your help on 'wrong side of the tracks'

did it on the 2nd time when i got back from work (after reading ur tips)

i just unlocked San Fransisco (or whatever its game name is), and i am blown away by how good the game keeps getting

yeah man - i reckon the green horse is always the way to go

i dont see any pattern of how the horse race

the favourite does not win more often than others

appears random to me - or maybe the AI figures who's bet on what and make a horse with no money on it win (like the RSL's roulette machines in real life etc)

i just cant justify betting all my money on a horse and if it doesnt win re-load th game - it will take 5 minutes each time, and i dont want to waste anytime coz the games that big.

is there a closer safe house near the betting place, so i dont have to drive all the way from CJ's house - can i grab the chopper from san fran, and fly to Los Santos - does the chopper stay where u left it last, or does it disappear like it sometimes used to in the old GTA's - ie can i grab the chopper, fly to CJ's at Los santos, park it out front, and save - will the chopper still be out front, coz then i can easily get to the TAB in no time

 

[top gun]

whereabouts is the betting agency in Los Santos. i havent come across that yet!

 

[-JJ-]

Under the big intersection (Mullholland or something similar is the name of the intersection). Haven't been there myself, check out the real map.

I thought that one was quite easy. the one i hate is smoke riding the bike and u have to shoot of the back. thats difficult in my opinion
