General San Andreas Discussion and Questions

Not sure if anyone has said already but when you take the territories back at the end of the game (and beyond) there is a tiny purple slither of territory a little northeast of the pay-n-spray/garage in Downtown Los santos. I wondered why I was still being attacked by Ballas! Easy to miss!

Yep, thats the slice of sidewalk underneath the famous Los Santos sign. Still haven't found the missing one though.


I made all my money on horse races. It was a very easy way to get extremely rich, without cheats. Use the hide out from the Catalina missions to scoot over to the betting shop (just 30secs away) and then try your luck with the green or purple horse. Place some big bets and save if you win, reload if you lose. I know that this is kinda cheating, but it is just too darn easy.

Not any more. :)

wow, you can tell i haven't played vc in a LONG time (at least not my saved game) last i remember i had a pretty good margain


also, a really easy way to make money is vigilante missions... the farther you get the more you get for each level, and past lvl 12 the number of guys/cars each time doesn't change from 12/3 respectively..... if you get a hunter or a rhino (haven't tried the rhino yet on SA) its pretty easy and fast to get really high (lots of money) sometime soon i'll probably see how many lvls it'll take to max out $$.. i think i have 700-800k now

a few minutes ago i had the game paused cause someone knocked on the door and then accidentally sat ont he controller and unpaused it then tried to re-pause it and it wouldn't work.. i continued playing, periodically trying to pause, and it wouldn't work... then after i saved, it worked just fine... :confused:
 
Weird. The game won't pause while it's loading something, though. For example, if you changed the Radio Station, it won't allow you to pause until it has loaded the Radio Station. I'm not too sure on your predicament, though.

yeah it was weird.. a good 10-15 minutes of driving (and flying) around...

I haven't tried brown thunder since I did my 12 levels to get the extra armor. I did notice that they decided not to give you as much time in the hunter per level as they did in VC-- after 12 levels in VC I usually had 20 minutes on the clock--in SA I only had about 3 minutes--

I still hate the minigun firing button on the from the left-- which is the main reason I haven't done more levels--if I ever get a few hours to kill.

I also noticed the minigun doesn't auto aim at people anymore (or you just have to be closer maybe) so you have to use rockets if they escape their car-- this makes it a bit more challenging (at least to me since I rarely used my rockets except to kill the police choppers).

I did notice that for the first few levels of vigilante, they paid you the same as in VC--
level 1-- $50
level 2-- $200

I'm assuming it uses the same formula as before which was=

$$ = $50 x (level)^2

So if you start with less then $8,000,000 it should take you exactly 391 (consecutive) levels to max your money-this is assuming they limited your money to $999,999,999 again.

umm i have one question. how do i get the mini-gun? i have no idea where to look for one and i know you can get it

I was referring to the minigun in the Hunter (if you were responding to my post)--- I can't remember if I've seen a regular minigun in the game or not-- I seem to remember seeing it somewhere. :crazy: :dunce:
 
Just as a response to the Minigun, it does Auto Aim. You have to be closer in San Andreas, but you don't have to be ridiculously close.
 
the minigun is at that place where you had to do the race in the monster truck. where you first meet the fbi/cia/nsa guy i think.
 
Can you go to the pilot school before you have done some missions that relate to flying, or anything like that? I haven't found the flying school yet. :(
 
The flying school is at the Con Air style abandoned airfield in Las Venturas. You get sent there by the forementioned 'fbi/cia/nsa guy'. And no you can't go there (the flying school) before hand.

The Rancher is cool when modded, thats all I gotta say !
Hmmm? I think ill try that i didnt even know you could mod it.
Does anyone know if you can modify a camper to have Hippy colours like the truths one???.

OMG i fully didnt click to that is is like con air. Does anyone know if there is a real aircraft graveyard in Nevada somewhere???
 
Ok, I found the the car driving school, and walked into the building, found a girlfriend, walked all around, but there was no optioon to take the school !

Do I have to wait till a certain mission >?
 
Anyone found the glitch where you drive into the side of a building and start tumbling through oblivion. (It was in LS, one of the freight yards with that big jump) I managed to get out and I just stod next to the building like nothing had happened.
 
yeah, that happened to me on a bike, kept falling, so I 'triangled' off of the bike, and landed outiside of the building ( on the opposite side) weird huh ?
 
Thats happened to me except I was walking down the street and all of a sudden CJ fell through the ground. It was the funniest thing to happen to me because of CJ's reaction, right after falling through the ground he replied with:''What the ****!!"

You cant do the driving school til after you do the "Deconstruction" mission.

Thanks Jimmy--- I must be out of practice doing brown thunder--- I have no problem flying the Hunter but I felt kind of awkward when I did Brown thunder-- I'm still thinking its because of the left handed minigun trigger--I'm really pissed at Rockstar for moving that :mad:

I haven't unlocked the Hunter at the airstrip yet, but I've done the Chopper Checkpoint that uses it. It feels much heavier than the Vice City Hunter, it'll take me a good bit more practice to master it.

Where can I find a Sentinel? Through the 36 hours I've played I have never drove one. Can someone post a picture of one or tell me where a spawn point or location for one is.
 
Does anyone know why in the hell can I not go to the gym?
It says : come back tommorow. What the hell? I haven trained for days :grumpy:
