I've just put up a video of how to get the bulletproof helicopter.

I'd have chosen something else if I'd been able to hear it at the time.
Also, it was one long take but at some point the Genesis song started again
from the beginning. There's an "Adam And The Ants" song cropped out between
the two songs you do hear.

I've actually had the laptop connected when playing because I'm "dating"
Millie. I've had two or three occasions where other girlfriends (Denise and
Barbara) have crashed the date, so I wanted to publish it because a few
friends are sure I'm making it up. It made sense to try getting the BP heli
& publish that, too.

I might backtrack a bit and publish things like the flight school etc. if
there's any interest.

Incidentally, I was sure it's possible to monitor on the speakers anything
coming in through the microphone socket, but despite hunting around on the
laptop I can't find it. It seems to work with firewire - so if I don't mute
the speakers when recording live from camera to HDD I get a feedback shriek.
I also read that you're supposed to be able to record anything being sent to
the speakers but I'm having no joy at all. Anyone got nay ideas what I might
be doing wrong?

I haven't got access to my PC at the moment, and thus can't access
YouTube. Which BP helicopter is it?

Cheers,

Didn't know there was more than one. It's from "Misappropriation" - the one
where you get the evidence dossier for Tenpenny.

Ah yes, know it well.

I've still got all my notes on how to collect the thing if anybody
wants them posted here.

IIRC, it's not just BP, it's *everything*-proof. The only way to kill
it is to ditch in to water. Great fun around Area 69 with 5/6 stars....

Or they could watch the YouTube vid  ;o)

It'll be to stop you from blowing it up at the start of the mission to stop
the FBI people from escaping in it. It stops being bulletproof once they
unlock it and fly off. I've never managed to hit the guy who opens the door
_after_ he's opened it but _before_ he's got in.

A fun thing to do is to use a Rustler.
Strafe the feds to get their attention and then circle until the helicopter
takes off.
Then chase and shoot down the helicopter :)

Beware that he flies like a maniac and goes through the Restricted area (so
you'll get SAM's and Hydra's on your tail too).

I didn't know the hydras come for you- I thought it was a  "no stars"
mission. I do know you always get a sandstorm though.

I've followed in the apache and taken it out with guns, which is what makes
me think it loses its proofness (!) when the door gets opened.

Speaking of the rustler, when the mood takes me, I do like flying over the
military or navy base and hunting the hydras that come out to play. A couple
of nights ago, I did "vertical bird" without blowing up the spare planes on
the carrier, so I got three chasing me. A bit of deft flying between the
building in LV meant I destroyed them all without firing a shot.

True, but my notes are laid out in step-by-step guide. Much easier than
pausing/playing/re-watching a video!

I never had any success with that either. The game seems to make NPCs
immune to gunfight when they go into an "entering vehicle animation".

Cheers,

Apparently it's the same with the "leaving vehicle animation". It's
really annoying with motorbike cops. You can get a few headshots in
while the bike cop is getting off his bike, but it doesn't do you any
good...

I just started a new game the other day and I've been building up
Carl's weapon skills in the turf wars and assorted mayhem. I guess I
should really check if those no damage hits count for the skills.

That's where I just tried it out after finally getting it. If it's any use
to anyone, you can disable the missile launchers by crashing onto them.

Thanks for posting this - I have now been able to complete one of the few
tasks I still hadn't managed to achieve in the game.

Cheers, Rob.
