  1. As long as they have a refrigerator for my beer, Europe would be okay. Go to England, do fish & chips, ride around on a vintage Triumph.... I could handle that.
  2. I think one of the few things Sony did right lately is go w/ the Nvidia Graphics for the PS3. I don't have a complaint against ATI, just my experience is w/ Nvidia & they've done well for me. Granted I've gone for older (read that cheaper) models, but except for a virus wiping out my drivers a while back, they've been brick reliable.
  3. Don't know if this counts as a double post as it's been a few days. Hadn't heard back if you got anywhere w/ this, thought I'd inquire.
  4. I'd like to see those guys in a bar somewhere. Bands seem to be at their best in smaller venues.
  5. Okay, so had just got the game & figured out the trick to get into the LS airport & grabbed a plane. This is cool, I'll explore the map form the air (already discovered the rude surprise you get if you enter parts of the map not opened up). I flew over LV & noticed a red blip on my radar closing fast. AW SH........ got shot down over Rockshore West, plane in flames & had to bail. I'm something like a thousand feet up w/ no parachute. I came down hard. I think I bounced. Actually had 10 points of health left & armor intact. LVPD took care of that in short order. I think the reason I survived the fall was that I did my sidework early (Ambulance, firetruck, etc).
  6. Who you gonna call.... The only "spooky" things I've found so far (100% complete, several times) are vehicles that take off on their own. The Random car that spawns on the west side of apartments in Playa Seville & the Vortex that spawns in Bayside. Not saying you're lying, I just haven't seen it.
  7. Last one I went to was Aerosmith/Jackall. It was a medium sized city in the midwest, around '92. It sucked, w/ bad dental work. Show lasted maybe 2 1/2 hours (including two 40 minute breaks) & they just weren't into it, like the only reason they showed up was so they wouldn't get sued. Best one was the mid '80s, Bachman Turner Overdrive in a bowling alley, those guys put on a helluva show for $4 tickets, played till the alley had to close (local liquor laws)
  8. 6'3", 275 lbs. Eat as I damn well please. Also used to hulking around cast iron American V8 engine blocks. Muscle weight twice as much as fat per volume. About to make sandwiches from my personal mini fridge (one more reason you hate me, I know).
  9. You need a script editor like SA mission builder 3.3. http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?ac...file&id=533 Take the time to read the README files & look for the tutorials in the SA MODDING forum. it should be in the DOWNLOADS section. Just remember to back up anything you plan to edit.
  10. Ever wonder what happened to the 30 minute guarantee Domino's USED to have? hint, see video in post #1. http://openweb.tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/1989-...-18-CBS-15.html
  11. Sorry I can't help. Staff will probably point you to this - http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6666 If you didn't look at the link, it's an explanation on why they don't cover modding for the PS/Xbox here.
  12. Bad for Ford but might be good for AM, I recently read somewhere the investors are headed by the same guy that ran Subaru's Rally program for 12 years (I think), that produced the WRX (insert lots of bad language here). http://dangeruss.net/images/Subaru%20WRX%2...20Hood%20Up.jpg I'm curious to see what happens to AM with this influence.
  13. Can you give more details? Are you playing PC? V1 or V2? Have you saved after using cheats? Any mods or trainers?
  14. Serbia is a "breakaway republic", formerly a part of the U.S.S.R., so Russian ties are to be expected. As for Russian mob in Liberty, they have a presence in NY so why not - http://www.vdare.com/misc/girin_050106_mafia.htm
  15. Start here, the modding section. also look for member FunGT, he has a site w/ lots of rescorces. http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showforum=41 Good Luck.
  16. So who is it? I presume it's not the same girl you started this topic on. Or did you notice something new? (begin spooky theremin music.)
  17. I should have asked, are you playing on PC or console? I've played both & noticed slight differences. Like I said, keep practicing. for me figuring out the timing for Parachute was the hardest part. If you're used to the Hunter from Vice City, the one in SA is a huge improvement. If you're not using a game pad (PS2 style), try one. Hang in there.
  18. Looks like Handling flags, bit 7. Looks like FunGT has something for every occasion.
  19. The sale of Chrysler is a done deal - http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/busi...icle1786611.ece I had hoped things w/ Daimler/Chrysler would have worked out better. I remember a different time, when Chrysler build a decent car, reliable & easy to work on. Cool, too. Then they started building K-cars & crap wagon minivans & forgot how to build decent cars. Their quality went down the toilet & the only thing they had going for them was the Viper. The rest of their "performance' models were mostly Mitsubishis (no knock on Mitsubishi, they just weren't really the Mopars we grew up w/). I thought the merger w/ Daimler put new life into the company, their products were better for it. They resurrected the Hemi, built the new 300 & were moving ahead w/ the Challenger. I just hope the sale of Chrysler doesn't end in the company being liquidated or just making minivans.
  20. You're not so bad... http://www.united-shops.com/stuffpic/figur...255_259x400.jpg
  21. I'll try. LANDSTAL 1700.0 5008.3 2.5 0.0 0.0 -0.3 85 0.75 0.85 0.5 5 160.0 25.0 20.0 4 D 6.2 0.60 0 35.0 2.4 0.08 0.0 0.28 -0.14 0.5 0.25 0.27 0.23 25000 20 500002 0 1 0 This is the first entry for HANDLING.CFG in SA. 1700 - the weight (kilos) 5008.3 - Turnmass, I think the amount of force to move vehicle. 2.5 - Drag multiplier, I think aerodynamic. 0.0 0.0 -0.3 - Centers of gravity, X/Y/Z. Moving these will affect how well the vehicle stays upright when turning. 5 - Number of gears in transmission. 160.0 - Top speed (kph) 25.0 - Acceleration (I think meters per second), your gas pedal. 20.0 - Deceleration, (I think meters per second), your brakes. 4 - Drive type, 4 (4x4), R (Rear wheel drive), F (Front wheel drive) D - engine type, petrol (P), diesel (D) or electric (E) From here you get into steering, suspension limits & flags used by the game. 25000 is value of the vehicle, in $. If you're not comfortable editing your handling file, I have tuning services available in the trading stalls. http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11534
  22. Define problem. Are you having a hard time or is it the game?
