Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / June 2007Burn and Lap, City Slick'n
Motherf*#(er, I can't do these two. Silver on Burn and Lap, but Bronze on City Slick'n. Got pure gold in flying and bike, and even did vigilante in the Hunter, but goddamned if I can get gold on these bitches. > Motherf*#(er, I can't do these two.

Driving school is the hardest school to get all golds. For Burn & Lap it's all about doing tight turns, your front wheel should go round very close to the cone (you can even nudge them a bit without incurring damage penalty). The way I usually do that is by holding full throttle all the time and just use the handbrake to initiate turns. The standard camera angle might make it difficult so try experimenting (I prefer the close in view, others 1p. view). If you are on PC turning Frame-Limiter OFF will make that test much easier.

One of the most efficient routes is the one by Orion_SR: Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-897791108162925602 Thanks man. Never would have thought about turning off the frame limiter. I'm not even sure what it does. It helps with my dance score while it's on, though. What is it there for anyway? To keep from overheating the gfx card? > Driving school is the hardest school to get all golds. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-897791108162925602 > Thanks man.

To keep from overheating the gfx > card? Frame-Limiter forces the game to run at a fixed 25 fps (max), with it turned OFF the game runs at varying higher fps depending on gfx detail and system specs. Some aspects of the game depends on a constant 25 fps for accurate (as R* intended) physics model and timing. With a decent system you can get much higher fps and screw a bit with the game. With the Burn and Lap test the timer simply gets slower relative to car speed, - so it's kinda cheating lite. Higher fps also has some effect on vehicle handling, - higher fps means that a car won't roll as well so you want frame-limiter to be ON for the Alley Oop test. It also has drastic effect on boats and parachutes, - so the 1st boat school test and the parachute test gets much easier with it OFF. <snipped useful frame limiter advice> Also, the mission where you have to race for the loading ramp of the cargo plane is dramatically affected by the frame limiter setting. > For Burn & Lap it's all about doing tight turns, your front wheel should > go [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > If you are on PC turning Frame-Limiter OFF will make that test much > easier. High driving skill might help too. I jusr went through driving school a few days ago and got gold first time on B&L - something whick has never happened before, but I've never tried it before with so much skill acquired. > City Slickin' is easy once you got a decent route, - the 100s. time limit > is > fairly liberal. > One of the most efficient routes is the one by Orion_SR: > > Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-897791108162925602 It took me a dozen or so tries to get gold on this one, this time. All those pesky drivers turning without indicating. The route I use both ways is similar to Orion's return leg, you just have to be careful with the handbrake turn at the corona as it sometimes thinks you've "stopped". Just tried it again to get a comparison time (I couldn't remember from a few days ago)) and got 89 seconds dead, and then 85.34 seconds. Just remember to stop the car (abandon the race) if you hit anything more substantial than a lamp-post. The only ones I really struggle with are alley oop and wheelie weave. |
