Title: Getting into the airport
Post by: Kurt Angle on October 28, 2004, 07:58:02 AM
You can get into the airport even though it says you are not experienced enough and the gates won\'t open.  Just park your car next to the fence and climb onto it\'s roof and over the fence. :D

Expect to get shot down while flying the dodo though if you stray too far north into areas you should not be in. :D

I did it yesterday :D I parked a car up next to the wall on the right-hand side off the gate and climbed over.

Just done some parachuting off the mountain by launching a motorbike off the ramp at the top :D

Here\'s a map..

Its the tallest building in the city, at street level you should see a yellow cone indicating you can enter, once you do it will bring you to the top of the building where you find the parachute.

Its great fun jumping off/out of stuff. I got to try the mountain trick you mentioned Maka.

This has been by far one of the most exciting parts of the game today (notice how its just for the day. You learn new things everyday). Any way, I got a parachute and a Dodo and flew really high up (BTW, youre altitude is almost limitless in the sense that you can get so damn high where nothing really rivals your height. In other words you can go as high as the altometer goes).

So after flying high i flew north trying to cross the boarder and i saw two red blips show up on the radar. I jumped out right before the plane blew and fell most of the way and parachuted down to the ground. As soon as i landed i was shot.

Its about 12 am and i have to get up at about 6- meh. Time to do it again :D

Anyone see the Harrier yet?  I\'ve heard rumors, but I haven\'t tried to steal a plane yet, as I don\'t want to ruin the surprise of going to a new city, so I haven\'t been shot down yet.

There\'s a Spitfire in Easter Bay Airport and other prop planes, and helicopters but the doors are locked. (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.psx2central.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Ficon9.gif&hash=b57ce7af1f8c6089549705093778f45af97c34c9)

I parachuted over the northern island thats like las vegas right before i was shot down, got a car and went to the nearest paint and spray - didnt work- Stole a Bronco (some similar truck) OJ style and Drove all the way to the desert only to find that what i thought was an airport was a plane/airport graveyard. So my Bronco caught on fire and when i tried to run i got shot.

Fun stuff though. I dont know how often ill try to cheat my way into other cities. All of this is sorta ruining the game a bit.

On the map, is it where the cross hair is, or is that just a random place it was?

You cant miss it really Cerberus, it the tallest building, it\'s round in shape. Just look up and head towards the huge sky skrapers. Parachuting is great fun :D

I know, but it\'s hard to manouver the camera to see it when you are not used to using the analog sticks.

Is that where it is on the map, where the cross-hair is?

looking at my map I got with the game yes, it is close to the crosshair. It\'s easier to see on your own map, just find downtown los santos and you will see 2 grey circles on it. one of these is the building.

Yep, it cross points on the building.. Just walk around the buildings base and you\'ll find the yellow cone.

It\'s either square or circle, I forget which. Yes I fell to my death the first time too while I frantically mashed the buttons trying to open the chute. Triangle disconnects the chute also once it\'s been opened.

South of San Fierro. I jumped off it to my death today. I\'ll have to head back up some time and try the motorbike jump trick, though. That sounds awesome.

There\'s another chute by a really tall building in San Fierro. No yellow triangle, but its door is wide open to go up.
