John - 26 Jan 2004 19:33 GMT How many missions must be done to unlock Staunton? Is there a list that would show what has to be done, and when?
Thanks
Buckaroo Banzai - 26 Jan 2004 19:55 GMT Yeah, you have to finish the 5th and final mission for Salvatore Leone (Last Requests) and then you'll have access to Staunton Island.... I'm not sure the minimum missions required from the beginning as some are optional, and some must be completed to further the storyline.

If you get busted or killed, you will automatically go back to Portland. However, there's a MUCH better way. Take the tunnel or the subway to get to Shoreside. (the tunnel barrier is open if you get to the 2nd island before completing the requisite missions.) Anyhow, once you get to Shoreside, steal one of the Dodos from the airport. You need to get it back to Portland and deliver it to the garage at the docks. If you know how to fly it well, you're golden. I don't, so what I do is take the plane back to Staunton through the tunnel, and then it's an easy hop over the Callahan Bridge to get back to Portland. Deliver it to the docks as well as all the other vehicles on the list. (All the others can be found in Portland, though some are rare. Doing Firetruck or Vigilante missions is the best way to get them.) Once you've collected everything, you will be able to get a free vehicle of any of those types (including the Dodo) right from that garage any time you want. You can now just grab a Dodo and hop the bridge any time you like to access the other islands without completing more than a few missions. (I think you need to get up to Van Heist in order to find a Securicar for the garage, but that's it.) All this, and you only have to cheat once. Or not at all if you have the patience to do the force-yourself-through-the-gate trick at either the tunnel or the subway station.

That's where I got mine, and there were several. Yeah, but the tricky part is getting it back to Portland with the bridge out. The Securicar doesn't go fast enough to make it over the bridge very easily. Plus, it would mean you'd have to cheat at least 3 times. Once to get over to Staunton in order to get the Dodo, once to get back there to get the Securicar, and a third time to bring the Securicar back...

Geez, it seems to me that with all this effort devoted to cheating it'd be much easier just to do the few missions, which are very fun, I might add, to gain access to the next island...

But it's so much fun using the Rocket Launcher on the early missions... ;-)

Could anyone please tell me how to do this "force-yourself-through-the-gate trick" (TM) I am on a new game and would like to complete all the side missions before starting on the plot missions.
I tried the trick where you jump from one girder of the broken bridge to a girder on the other side. I managed it once the first time I played but I just cant do it again.
I would like to know any trick to get to the second island early WITHOUT using any cheatcodes. I tried superjumping, but the one time I succeded the car exploded before I could get out.
Beck - 27 Jan 2004 18:00 GMT > SNIP > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > I tried superjumping, but the one time I succeded the car exploded > before I could get out. I dont think there is a way to do it without cheats. If you want to try the flying car over the bridge trick again, try using a taxi, thats the best one.

These may seem a daft question, but did you try doing a running jump? Works 100% for me, it's all in the timing, and obviously you jump a bit further when running.
Cheers, Rob

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Cheers, > Rob Easy way is just use cars jump (aka cars have hydraulics) code and the cars fly (aka low car gravity) codes and fly a car over the gap.

Yes i use a running jump but i just cant seem to hit the girder properly. When I do hit the girder I just bounce of it into the water. How far from the last bend in the girder do you jump from? (aprox.)

There are some cheats that allow you to get over those barriers on the Callahan Bridge - flying car, etc. - if you're into that kind of thing.
