I step on the red circle, she says whats up, i respond positively, she says lets dance, nothing happens... a bug in my game perhaps?

Just got my polits licence .... Woo Hoo !!!
i was dying to use the planes , helicopters at Easter Bay airport.
I thought the Juank Air's old airliners was the biggest plane , until i found a 737 in the hanger at Las venturas airport.The wingspan of the Juank air equals to the width of one wing on the 737.

Have i said today how much i like this game

To my horror last night all I started getting was a disc read error. I nearly cried. I had visions of squabbling with a shop assistant over how I had treated the disc and then not getting a new copy until next week!! :eek:

You have your PS2 standing on it's side? If so you'll get the same problem again. GTA:SA disks are of very low quality and are easily scratched. It seems to happen when people have their PS2's on their side.

Can someone help me out here:

I'm stuck on the first OG Loc mission where he tells you to go to the beach party and get a sound system it says that you're ment to go and talk to the DJ, but when i go up to the red circle the DJ just says "hey baby wanna dance?" and you get an option to anwser positively or negatively, if you do either the DJ just says something and nothing else happens, am i missing something? or is there a bug in my game?

I'm going to correct myself here: it's not three times you have to ask her, it just took me three times to figure out I was beign stupid:

She asks: hey how are you doing or something
You do: POSITIVE answer #1
Then she says: OK you should dance to impress me or something or "Let's Dance"
You do: nothing like me for first two attempts until you realise you have to a POSITIVE answer #2 or else the conversation is over and the red mission circle around the van reappears.

Yes it looks like it should just start after you respond positive the first time but you need to answer both of her sentences positively (although it's easy to just sit back and go well WTF is going on, nothing's happened, etc., etc., ). Rockstar maybe should have put an icon on the screen for these times to indicate that a response is needed.

same thing happened to me but i ended up trying it 4 or 5 times with no clue wat i was meant to be doing and ended up shooting up the beach party which automatically failed the mission,but hey it was fun

Unnecessary? You mean you don't want to DO more, PLAY more GTA? BLASPHEMER!

A quick one for you guy's!

Can anyone tell me what the backpack is that can be picked up during the mission where you have to protect the helicopter on top of the mountain?

Is it a parachute and if so how is it deployed??

Thanks!!

Smellyirishman

same happens when you go near the two aircraft carriers in san fierro.

Are you sure there's 2 carriers in San Fierro and you're not just mistaking a cargo ship for one ? I've only seen one anyway.


edit: btw, does anybody know where to find the hunter in the game ? The hydra is pretty cool and all but it's not quite the same. I have all the missions done so I thought it would be at one of the military bases like in VC but no sign of it yet.

edit2: It's ok, google turned up "How to unlock the Hunter: To unlock this you need to get all gold awards in Pilot School. It will be spawned at the Verdant Meadows Airstrip."
