General San Andreas Discussion and Questions

I just got busted for the first time in 2 weeks. I hit a cop car that was doing a u-turn on the San Fiero-Las Venturas Bridge and I hit him in my ***-500. I was glitched into the car itself and was automatically busted. Luckily, I just saved and can get my guns back.

does anyone know where the girlfriend is who will let you get out of jail free and keep your guns?
 
I had my first San Andreas game crash this evening. I was taking over a gang territory and BLAMMO!, the game just hung and I had to reboot the PS2.

I also had another couple of strange things happen while taking over gang territories.

First thing was that after I got the message "You have started a gang war!", the rival gang members all spawned right beside me. About six of them just materialised on screen and killed me within about 3 seconds.

Another thing that happened was that the rival gang members spawned about 4 territories away. I tried to chase them down but I got a message after a while telling me I'd quit the fight... Pfft.

Hi guys, I'm now in the "county", I've donne Catalina's mission, The truth only mission too, I now have the only option to "street" race with Cesar, is that normal, oh I can rob the drugs courier too. Is that a mission or just a side mission?

Yes, you have to do a couple of races for Cesar to continue in the game.

As far as I know, it's just a side mission to earn cash. I never did it and I've continued fine in the game. Everything I've read seems to imply that you also don't need it for 100%, so I'm pretty sure you can forget about it.

But don't blame me for any screw-ups my advice causes.

I'm pretty sure you don't need to do it to get 100%. In fact, I'm sure as after a while you stop getting calls to go steal from it.

You find her in the Police Station at El Quebrados, Tierra Robada. She's in the Parking Lot. If you get busted in that area, you also Spawn at her place.

Yeah, we've discussed this sort of thing before. There are a few little happenings, although that's the first I've heard of a gang spawning right next to you. Also, take care when taking over Territories on the Beaches. They spawn in the water, and often can't get out.

Also, as for the spawning four blocks away, that happens a few times with the Vagos. Just wait for them for a while, if they don't make any advancements after a while (check the Pause Menu Map), then take a Car or Bike (don't forget to take one with you as everything stops spawning), ride or drive up there, and drive-by them quickly. Do this very quickly, as being out of the "War Zone" too long will mean you have failed and quit the war. It's annoying, but doable.
 
Whew! That guy's second mission is next to impossible for people like me. As I have repeated many times I almost completed it but, yeah I didn't complete it.:lol:
 
You know what's annoying? getting down to 4 SECONDS then losing ARRGGH.....

Oh BTW, Can you fly the planes without getting the license? because I managed to get into Eastern Bay Airport but all the planes were locked =(
 
That happened to me too, but once you buy the abandoned strip and actually go to flight school I could. I think just because you flew it doesn't and got a license doesn't mean it's legit.
 
are u sure u dont have to do the zero missions. cause he is the only icon i have on my screen. the flight school i got my license but didnt finish all the tests is that what i have to do to continue?
 
Yes it is confirmed by Jimmy and he has almost completed the game.

I would at least get all bronze. It also tells you in the boxes at the end of each test if you obtained one or not. I already 'had' one and the first or second test I took at the abandoned airstrip it said I had obtained a pilot license. I went over to Eastern Bay Airport and voila! I had access to the planes/helicopters.

The Maverick(heli) is unlocked with 0 flight skill--its on the south side to the left of some hangars near the water.

And I'm pretty sure you need at least bronze in all your tests in order to continue--it should unlock a Toreno mission which will continue the story.

I'm positive you don't need to do zero's missions (I did buy the shop) to finish the storyline-- I tried his first mission about 10 times and hung it up---haven't tried it again in a few weeks but finished the storyline about a week ago.
 
I flew it (the maverick) before I even opened up the 3rd island. Sometimes fixed location vehicles will not spawn if you approach too fast (doesn't have time to load).

You need to get at least Bronze in every test to continue. Bronzing tests means passing them. So you need to pass them all. So go back, Bronze all of the Pilot School Tests (at least), and then see what happens. Zero's Missions are only necessary for 100%.
 
Here's a thing. I've finished the story in the game, but have yet to do Zero's missions (as many of us have to). On one time I went into the shop and found in the back right corner some goggles, infra red ones I think. However, some time later I had another look and they were not there and I've not seen them since (though I have found the NVG's). It's annoying. Anywhere else I can find them?
 
Thanks very much!

And out of curiosity what's the largest pile up of cars on a freeway that anyone has caused? So far my record stands at 13 cars and 19 explosions, and not one star as it was all an accident (caused by me parking a rig across both lanes). It went on for ages.... :lol:
 
Exactly the same here with cars and the Wanted Stars. I don't know about explosions. I caused a massive one. I had a screenshot and was going to post it in the Images of San Andreas thread, but it didn't turn out well. :grumpy:
 
i love doing that... the only time i counted the number of cars that blew up in the pile-up it was 27.. it was fun fun fun :) 4 lanes of exploding cars :)
 
There was a road block and my tampa caught on fire:( and It blew up and then the police car blew up, then the next, then the next, and then finally a motorbike passerby. Chain reaction and the roadblock was demolished. I said "...dayum..." and then went to go find a car to go on with my business.
 
I found part of the Pile-Up I made. Crappy quality, like I said. And it's only one half of it. Behind me in the picture was probably worse. I couldn't get a decent screenshot because my Camera is pretty much out of batteries. It always has been, but I can turn it off, turn it back on and take a few pictures before it dies again. It's a funny camera. I need proper batteries, too. Anyway, here are those Screens.

I've had another big pile up of exploded cars. It would have been good if I knew the camera's whereabouts then. It had included 9 cars one Firetruck was spraying cars and A paramedic truck and two EMTs were reviving a guy. Darn.
 
I noticed that cars with paintjobs don't change it's color at Pay 'n Spray so if you pick a pain job like you can at W.A.A. and the Low rider garage and then give it a black color the car will always stay black when resprayed. It's handy cause if you are like me and like having a black Elegy. The trick doesn't work with any other color.
 
What if you just make it Black anyway? And what about cars with stripes?

Paintjobs don't get over-sprayed, I know that much, but this is a good thing you've come across.
 
Cars with custom colors get painted over, but not those with paintjobs. I actually don't think there is a car with stripes that can have a paint job, well none that I can remember from the top of my head.
