Paulie - 21 Nov 2003 03:17 GMT Does anyone have a saved game just after completing Demolition man? I've been trying forever and I cant do it.
Eugen T - 21 Nov 2003 03:48 GMT Keep trying... Sorry don't have that save any more, but it took me like 15 times to do that mission... Amount of joy is overwhelming :)

Just ignore it until you get practice time in the other helicopters. You need to have good control and a very light touch.
You can do it in time.

Absolutely. Leave this mission alone until you've gotten access to the full-sized copters -- which are MUCH more fun to learn to fly. Get good at flying them. THEN try Demolition Man again.
For me, it was like magic: I did it first time, with a little time to spare, and wondered why the hell I ever thought it was hard. (It takes a lighter touch, but the controls had become automatic.) Then I did it a few more times, just for fun.
Oh. I have a PS2. If it's a PC controls issue, then I don't know, but I would think that the same advice should apply. Fly the full-sized copters, until it's automatic.

My fingers and brain can't hack it.

Keep trying you will get it eventually and it feels so much better to beat the thing than nick someone elses save game to get past a mission

I have tried a joystic but that means reconfiguring all the control setups. Plugging in an analogue joystick causes all sorts of mayhem.

It's a very difficult mission for one reason: you haven't got the hang of flying a helicopter. Once you've got it, you'll chop the workers and guards into mince meat with the propellers and complete the mission with two minutes to spare, trust me. I do this every time, and I'm not using a gamepad, but a plain PC keyboard.
Regards, Baldrick
Lester Horwinkle - 21 Dec 2003 18:23 GMT The keyboard is okay for land vehicles, but I prefer the joystick for the copters. I still need up arrow for throttle, and 1/2 for spin left/right. But it's managable with two hands.

BobMarley - 29 Dec 2003 16:17 GMT the controls are a bitch too... just never seems fast enough to get in there... will definitely keep trying! not like i have a choice.. the game is addictive as hell

This mission was hard at first but the more times you do it, the easlier it gets regarding flying the helicopter. It took me about 5-7 times to get it
Whats a bitch is having those little construction workers banging on the copter.
If you think this one is hard did you complete the RC Barons Race.? Now that one was a real mother f.cker for me.

BobMarley - 30 Dec 2003 17:21 GMT Finally set my head into it... and completed the mission. took about 5-7 tries, you're right... It REALLY helps that the mission can be restarted just by going down the street again... it sucks to restart one you have to go across town for.

It takes a bit of time, so instead I would suggest decapping all the guys in black who have guns, that way you sustain less damage.

take your time flying around and chop up all the security guards and construciton workers.
The timing only starts when you pick up the first bomb
Buckaroo Banzai - 21 Nov 2003 04:05 GMT > Does anyone have a saved game just after completing Demolition man? > I've been trying forever and I cant do it. Here are a few tips- Start the mission and don't even try to finish it- just practice manuevering the copter... play around as long as it takes until you can do basic manuevers without too much effort. Next, when you feel confident about the copter controls, start the mission but ignore the workmen and the guys with guns- battling them will only damage your copter. I focused on placing the bombs from the top floor down to the bottom but a lot of people have commented that timewise it's better to start from the bottom up... so you might want to do that. If you don't know where each target is on each floor, take one mission just to get to know where the bomb drops are, once you are confident that you can control the bird and know where to drop the bombs, you shouldn't have any problem. I have to note that I played VC on the PS2 so I had the luxury of an analog stick controller, but I'm sure there are gamepads that you can use that will make things easier... GOOD LUCK!
Eugen T - 21 Nov 2003 05:20 GMT Yeah, Bckaroo is right. It's better to place bottom three bombs (I put them 3-2-1), then go for the top one to save time, so that you won't have to come back. I also found that there is no need in killing workers first; if someone will really annoy you, then you can kill him with blades during the mission. Shooting guards don't appear until, I believe, 3rd floor, so you'll be pretty safe if you'll go to place 4th floor bomb last.
