I get this too, but on my geforce3 ti500. Also I can run the game perfectly fine on 1600X1200X32 with full everything and it works really well but when there is a helicopter near to the ground and you get the wind effect from the rotors it goes all slow. Does anyone else get this and can u fix it?

p.s. I have the 1.1 patch as well and it still does it.

jesus christ, that RC helicopter mission is impossible, does anyone have any tips at all?

[freeza]

LOl it is impossible with the keyboard, i am going to buy a controller just for it :(

i can't even get past the one where you have to plant the bombs to blow up that building >:o

I beat it first try.. I dont understand what the fuss is about. I guess I could post some tips.

Do the mission once, but dont pick up bombs. Just go through the building and find where all of the drop zones are for the bombs. Then, restart the mission and take a bomb doing the first floor, then second etc. in order. If you get too many people chasing you, set the helicopter down and tilt it towards the group of people. This will cause them all to die, making it easier for you. You can take it slowly because you have enough time. I finished it with 1:30 left. Just take it slow and master the controls of the helicopter and you will be good.

heh I actually love that mission so much I actually replayed it several times after I completed it.....I can bomb the cubans boats while they are still on the dock..2 runs and once for the guy getting away heh

i am having trouble getting the biker boys to join and protecting the concert. I gotta go a motorcycle race and the closest I came to finishing is second..

I just read the whole thread (in about 3 hours :omg: - 28.8k speeds for going over the download cap when i got a fake vc :().

I don't get the fuss about RC helicopter mission, I've only played VC once, on my friends PS2, and that was the only mission that I did, and I only did it in one attempt.

Well maybe the PC version is harder, I'm going to buy (yes people, this game is worth buying) it after exams :)

controlling that copter sucks bad

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

Indeed, I find it hard controlling the game using a PS pad (using one of those USB converter thingummybobs) as basically the right analogue stick seems to be the wrong way round (up/down is swapped with left/right and vice-versa) and no tinkering with the controls in the game or the game controller settings seems to fix it ... However playing on Classic control settings (in-game) seems to help, you just cant look around in game

Damn, that's the same problem I have :( and I can't find a way to reconfigure them either :(

[redrope]

Just use 9 and 6 to go forward and backwards, W and S to go up and down and 4 and 5 to turn. Its really not that complicated. I think you guys are taking this too serious.

At least its not just me then, overall tho, i find it a lot easier (even with Classic Controls) to control than with keyboard/mouse ... Never thought I would ever say that about any game :blink:

Lol i just HAD to post this :p sorry it blows, but i still had to do it

[lawtai]

heh, the rc helicpoter mission was hard for me because i couldn't really get used to controlling the helicopter. It'd be flying all over the place.

[jono3000]

Im now having fun with the RC Plane mission...its easier to control than the helicopter one me thinks

yes, i hate that rc mission to bomb cubans, coz the rc plane cant keep flying, it will go down after several seconds.!!!1111

i am having trouble getting the biker boys to join and protecting the concert. I gotta go a motorcycle race and the closest I came to finishing is second..

I'm having trouble with the one after this one where you have to cause as much mayhem as possible, just can't do it lol.

in regards to the motorcycle race do not use the bikes outside the biker club, there are 2 types of harley style bike and those are the slower ones of the two, that's the only advise i'd give, other than, if they tear off ahead of you keep playing the mission as they crash all the time when i do that mission, which leaves you catching up all the time :)

as for the RC chopper i just scouted the mission 1st to see where the bombs go then restarted the mission and worked from the top down, seemed easier this way :)

Use the 9 and 6 buttons on the keypad.

I just got the police, SWAT etc to come after me and would shoot at them, then drive off in their cars, get out, more shooting, etc.

[dougkinzinger]

i still can't beat the 'The Chase' one ... maybe I suck?? Anyone have a mission skip cheat yet??
