Done.
By the way, the in-game screenshot is poor quality due to the fact that it was a quick shot. I wish it told you the time for it if you didn't break your record.
I don't think 9 is really possible, but I'm gonna have a few tries in a few moments.

Lemme load up my game and try it out--I'll be timing myself on the route whether I hit the cones or not--(after I do it a few times and verify I'm doing the route correctly)-- Its gonna be a judgement call for me for verfication.
If on your quest for 9, you get another 10 second one (please do it on a new save so your time will register)--please do what I asked above (for multiple pics) of the checkpoints/cones.
And if I catch hell from my wife for playing VC instead of working this weekend, I'm going to direct her wrath at you Jimmy so you better watch your back

Lol. I don't understand why you don't believe me, if this was KM, Rancid or someone posting this you would believe it. I've never told a lie in my life!
The key with 10 seconds is to hit that jump perfectly. I'll give you a recall of exactly what I did:
I lined up with that first checkpoint, reversed back to the second island back, and as soon as I reached that I hit the gas. As soon as I hit the checkpoint I handbraked it, lined up with the ramp on a slight angle and turned on the jump. Now I thought this was too soon, but I must've only barely got the second ramp checkpoint. I didn't touch the wall. I broke and just touched the wall at the end fairly softly, got the checkpoint and bounced off the wall. The car turned to a slight angle and cut closely to the cone on the right side of the car on the way out. I cut close to the cone in the middle of the circle and reverse-slid into the last checkpoint. 10 seconds. No cone moving, no wacky other ways of cheating.
Also, how am I going to post you the VHS of this, I don't have one of those converter things...?

Okay. I tried taping it, but I could only get lousy 11 seconds. I tried for ages, but I guess my 10 seconds was a high 10. 10 none-the-less. The thing I kept screwing up on whilst Video Taping was the ramp. I couldn't seem to get it right. I got it right twice I think, and I ended up one time hitting the wall at the other end too hard and turning the car into the path of a cone, and the other time braking too soon and not bouncing off the wall at all. 11 is easy now for me, I must admit. 10 can be done again, but I need to get in the proper frame of mind. I have a lot of shifts at work coming up, so when I get some proper time to play, say Wednesday, I will have a proper attempt.
Also, I don't believe 9 seconds is possible.

I PMed you essentially the same thing I'm writing here Jimmy
I agree-- hitting the ramp is the toughest part--I went over the wall half the time I tried. I'm still trying to verify-- I got an estimated 12 second one (I hit the last cone in the circle--by game clock (at top of screen--I was taping it) it took 12 seconds from first checkpoint till I hit the cone next to the last one-- If I can repeat this in 11 seconds I'll give you the 10-- I'm betting the game rounds it down like the stats for hotring.
- 6,546
- matthewjlcoleman
Yeah it does round down. I took notice of the clock while I was playing today taping, and my first run, 11 seconds, I thought was a 12. But I got so many 11s today.
I know why I do so well at this now: like I've said before, I do best at driving cars with "crappy" handling. That suits me best. If I do a cop chase in a Cheetah and a Stallion on 2 different occasions, I would last longer in the Stallion. Plus, I was obsessed with the Stallion on GTA 3 and when I first got Vice City, so I know the car quite well.
I think someone else here should easily do 11, it's not that hard. I'm now doing 11 seconds on less cleaner runs...I must be doing something different...but 10 was one of those round down things I think, too.

If anyone wants to make a run at this, I will add a category for this one but there is no way to verify it (can anyone think of a way other then taping a clip of the end cutscene with a pause and going straight to the stats with the time on it-- I know I and a few others can).
The only possible way to verify (that I can think of) would possibly be least favorite gang-- if "forrelli gang" shows up in the stats after keep your friends close (If it exists then it should unless you hunt gang members--you should be able to skip all the rampages)---then a screenshot verification will be forrelli gang as least favorite with CR visible and another one of time played with same CR visible-- I really don't know if it shows up like that or if they classify his goons something else.
Also, this one won't be as strict as their record-- what ever your time played says will be the time so feel free to reload a slow or failed mission to try and cut time.

Actually, this is an easy one to verify because the Vice City stats page includes the last completed mission. So all you rneed is the time played and last completed mission to appear on the same screenshot

Spuds725I don't think mine shows that-- where is it located in the stats--next to what??? The only place I've seen the last mission completed is in the game save file-- or maybe I've just never noticed....
I'll have to check..
Ooh er, maybe you're right. I haven't loaded up Vice City in a while so I may be talking through my hat. I thought at the top of your stats list there was a last completed mission mentioned.
I'll have to boot up a game to verify.

Nope, you're right Spuds.
Where the hell did I get that idea from?
edit: I think I got the idea from the stats page that the PC version automatically produces. I think I've seen that much personal pages with stats posted and it's been several weeks since I've played Vice City so I'm getting confused.

If you call 40+ tries easy....
Ok, you are verified--I just got an 11. I taped it so I will post a clip of it if someone wants to see it. My wife took the digital cam with her (out of town) so I can't post it yet (or a screenie for that matter).
I don't know if you want to try it anymore Jimmy, I don't think a 9 is possible. I don't think I left much room for improvement in my 11. I accelerated up to full speed (across the entire roof) for the first one, used the south wall to turn me, hit the ramps pretty much perfect and I think I did a good brake/bounce off the wall in the corner, you can only back up so fast for the last checkpoint.
Spuds
Updated---
Also, I just checked my 17:06 100% game (the last mission I did was keep your friends close) and my least favorite gang said Biker???? I'm not sure if the "forrelli gang" exists in the game-- has anyone seen it in the stats???
- 6,546
- matthewjlcoleman
I haven't seen them. When I finished that mission, I got "Streetwannabes" in my stats, when beforehand I had the Haitians.Spuds
Well, it seems easy to me. My first try on that new game I started was an 11. And I started a new game a couple more times, each time the first go was an 11. But eh.Spuds
I might try a few times, but I've only achieved 10 once so far. I know I've got close on a few occasions, but like I said before, I'm going to need to have time and the right frame of mind.Spuds
Also, I use the wall on the left on the first ramp (the one that you go up). Not sure whether that's the south wall, can't remember.
Also, I'm almost positive that 9 isn't possible.

I played today for the first time in a while and raised up some of my stats.
Media Attention- 7,612 (I think it might be possible to get 8000)
Criminal rating- 1,006,485
Vice Point chopper checkpoint- 1:18
Max insane jump distance(superjump)- 611 meters
Super jump rotation- 28,321

That's just insane. I could reach 6,000 on a proper attempt if I could be bothered, but you're just crazy.RancidMilk
That Vice Point Chopper Checkpoint time was what I was aiming at. I might have some more attempts at them soon, but I'll try for another 10 and possibly a 9 in Cone Crazy again. Doubt I'll get it though.

I'll update later, I only have a few minutes on here now.
Ace is supposed to not come in until 30 hours, but there is a glitch in it (OMG...VC has a glitch
)I am pretty sure (that at least for the early rankings) that any time in the 2nd half of any hour (0:30 to 0:59, 1:30-1:59, 2:30-2:59) it will give you the ace ranking-- I have not verified this but I read about it on another board--someone there is going for 30 hour "real" ace and noted that when he went over 2:30.

Ahh ok. That actually makes perfect sense. I only have like 32 mins. I might fly around for a while later, too. One thing I hate about that, is that each minute is longer than a Vice City minute (or hour if you wish). So you have to fly for more than half hour get half an hour. Damn annoying.
