F or Enter (or my remapped Sprint: Left Shift) lets you skip a cutscene.
Esc Pause the game and go to the menu. To have a longer look at onscreen in-
structions or dialogue, press Esc and go to Brief. You can go back through ear-
lier instructions and dialogue by pressing Up and go forward through them with
Down.
Prt Scr See X.15 for how to use Prt Scr, etc., to make screenshots.
If you leave the controls alone, the HUD will disappear and the "camera" will
act like a hand held camera operator is getting bored from inactivity and will
zoom in on and back from this and that activity.

I'd like it if someone made a mod to give "San Andreas" the "Vice City"-type
instant replay with slow motion for Unique Jumps and a variety of "camera" an-
gles.
Some things are different in GTA instant replays. In "San Andreas" instant
replays, the red smoke doesn't appear behind the Stuntplane, the thrusters point
down on the Hydra even in replays of scenes in which they were pointed back, a
black thing--a landing wheel?--appears below the back end of, at least, some of
the planes, the Jet Pack doesn't appear, train engines face backward, etc.
One of the new differences that's the most unusual, and which I haven't read
any explanation for, is that instead of certain action scene co-stars such as
Big Smoke, Kent Paul, or Maccer appearing, another guy does. It gets more unu-
sual when he replaces both Kent and Maccer at the same time or replaces Catali-
na as he does in the scene at the link below:

Spaceeinstein sent me this "Explanation: Rockstar became lazy. The replay
didn't load the special actor models. That ped in the picture is the default
ped for the special actor model to replace. Special actor models aren't con-
sidered as peds in the game so it has to replace an existing ped like the one in
the picture."
********
A couple of instant replays that should have been (and other odd moments):
- I had C.J. get a six star wanted level and land his Jetpack on the Ferris
wheel at Santa Maria Beach. A Police Maverick landed beside him, and C.J.
jacked it! Those things take off too slow for him to have gotten away, and
something about the getting busted cinematic screwed up the instant replay so it
didn't register. (If it ever comes up for you, have him shoot the corrupt offi-
cers 1st.)
- C.J. was driving a motorcycle through the oil fields toward Las Venturas,
hit something, the bike kept rolling while C.J. ran to get it, and he got back
on and kept riding like something out of a wild west show or a stunt movie air
grab. I must have hit the wrong button, though, because the instant replay just
showed the last few seconds of him standing somewhere afterwards.
- I'll add something to those two because this is the closest category to put
it in, other than the one for ghost world. C.J., in an SUV, was drive-bying the
attackers on motorcycles in the 2nd half of "Lure," and he ran out of ammo. So
I had him try to run into them, and he knocked a couple off their bike. One got
back on the back of the seat of the bike, and C.J. ran the other one down. But
the bike with the person on the back still followed him around. It would run
into him now and then--plomp--but that's about it. If C.J. stopped, it stopped.
It was more like a frisky dog than an attacker.
Hitokri Battusai wrote to me he had a similar experience with what he called
Ghost Cops during a gang fight, too: the police car driver was killed but the
car kept following C.J.'s car.
- Using Molotovs for "The End of the Line" gave me a couple of glitches. One
gangster kept running into the corner of an alcove till he went through it, like
Claude in the "III" gimmick to get a Mafia Sentinel. Another survived the
fire--I guess running into the wall protected him a bit--and said, "You can't do
that to me, man," and resumed firing till he got a moment of another Molotov!

I.7.a Foot Controls
********
Note: I remap Spacebar and Left Shift so each does the job of the other--Jump
is Spacebar and Run or Sprint is Left Shift--so it's more like "Vice City."
********
W Forward
S Backwards
Mouse Steering or A Left
Mouse Steering or D Right
You can turn the "camera" with the mouse so to face C.J., then press S to keep
him going in the same direction in the scenery yet now towards you and the cam-
era; a similar thing can be done with A and D.
W,S,A, and D can also be used for the dance game, and A and D can be used to
go through the food selection at a restaurant.
Get a rhythm going and tap W,S,,A, or D on the beat, sometimes in the same di-
rection for pairs of beats, to give C.J. a little dance move paradiddle you can
throw in now and then, like when C.J. sings, for some snazz.
Mouse Look anywhere, though you need to move C.J. to look directly up or
down. When standing still, C.J. doesn't swivel as you move the
mouse as Tommy Vercetti or Claude Speed did. You get a greater va-
riety of views of him that way, but it makes aiming him busier.
While he faces in one direction, you can look in another with the
Mouse; if you want to face him in the new direction, press W,S,A, or
D as needed. I usually press W, which makes him go in the direction
the Mouse is pointed, to turn him.
F or Enter (Return) Enter or get on a vehicle, have C.J. buy a soft drink or
snack, end a transaction at a restaurant or barber shop,
etc., end a phone call, spend $100 for, or quit watching,
a lap dance, open the freezer at the Abattoir, detach a
deployed Parachute, and let go of something he's hanging
from
The camera swirl after C.J. leaves a vehicle can be disorienting for a moment.
When that happens, you may speed things up by pressing W to turn him in the di-
rection you want him to go, then W again to continue.
If two choices are equally near when you press F, C.J. goes in the direction
of the vehicle or vending machine he's pointed toward. Otherwise, he'll turn
and go to the closer one.
********
Left Shift Sprint (I remap it from Spacebar) when added to W. The sprint
lasts longer as C.J. gets stronger, as does the faster sprint
created by pressing it quickly and repeatedly. Complete the
Burglary mission for the infinite sprint. Left Shift is also
used to buy food at a restaurant, preview/buy a haircut, etc.
Spacebar Jump, grab something to climb, or climb something (I remap it
from Left Shift).
********
Left Alt Walk Add Left Alt to W,S,A, or D to make C.J. walk. I mainly use
this because I think it looks funny to have C.J. stop scrambling
and act normal till he's just past a police officer. If you add
Left Alt while C.J. moves in a crouch, he moves slower, too.
If you equip C.J. with a one of the rifles or automatic rifles,
he can walk faster, so you might use that when C.J.'s in a big
house during the Burglary mission.
Tab or \ View player Respect, Stamina, Muscle, Fat, and Sex Appeal Stats,
what day it is, and the Weapon Skill C.J. has for an upgradable
weapon if he's equipped with one, in a menu in the lower left
corner of the screen. You can also use it to have C.J. answer a
cell phone, give a gift to or kiss a girlfriend (awwwr!), buy
property, and equip the weapon of the pickup C.J. is standing in to
replace the weapon currently in that slot.
C Crouch Use W,S,A, and D to have C.J. move while crouching, and
tap one of them repeatedly, or add Left Alt, to have C.J. do it
slowly. It can help C.J. sneak up on enemies. End a crouch
with Spacebar, Left Shift, F, Enter, or the LMB. C.J. can't
crouch with a Camera, Fire Extinguisher, Chainsaw, thrown weap-
on (Molotov, etc.,), or heavy weapon (Minigun, Flamethrower, or
either rocket launcher).
C and hold the RMB C.J. crouches and can target someone (see "RMB or Caps
Lock" below). Crouching can help C.J. fire a gun with
more accuracy and make him harder to hit. If you press
A or D, he rolls left or right and takes aim again.
LMB Fire, punch, hit with a melee weapon, throw, spray paint, deploy a
Parachute while C.J. is falling, change the "camera" view of a
lap dance, and take a snap shot. As in "Vice City," you can
hold the LMB down to keep a Chainsaw revved up and pointed for-
ward, then move with W,S,A, or D to create fast Chainsaw at-
tacks. Unlike Tommy, C.J. can't jump while he's equipped with
it, though.
RMB or Caps Lock Target someone or bring up the scope of a Sniper Rifle,
Rocket Launcher, or Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher so it can
be aimed and fired. In the case of a Heat-Seeking Rocket
Launcher, it also makes a green reticle appear over the
target, and the green turns to red as the system locks on-
to the target.
To target someone, aim C.J. or his weapon at them and
press RMB or Caps Lock. It makes an arrow point down at
their head. The color of the arrow indicates their
health. It turns from green to red to black and disap-
pears as they weaken and die. If C.J. is equipped with a
Knife and you target someone from behind with the RMB,
C.J. prepares for a stealth kill he'll execute if you
press the LMB. It also creates the potential for C.J. to
see if they can be recruited into his gang (see below).
RMB or Caps Lock,
and G or H Press the RMB to target one of his gang members (see
above) and press G, and if C.J. has enough Respect,
they'll follow him as a gang member (into a vehicle,
swimming, sometimes over walls, etc.) and attack oppos-
ing gang members and criminals--they may also attack law
enforcers who pursue or attack C.J.. With 80% Respect,
C.J. can recruit seven gang members.
Press G to draw them to C.J. if they run away, and press H
to have them wait in place (I remember the keys by
thinking of "G" for "Gang" and "H" for "Hang back").
They may ignore the last command if one of those they
attack comes by, and C.J. doesn't have to go far for
them to ignore a command to stay in place and run toward
him, though. If you want a recruit to leave the group,
such as when their health gets low, make the arrow ap-
pear over them and press H. To disband the whole group,
hold H or have C.J. go far away from them.
RMB and LMB To have C.J.'s recruits attack someone, target the victim
with the RMB then press the LMB.
E or Mouse Wheel Down Next weapon/Target
Q or Mouse Wheel Up Previous Weapon/Target
X or Mouse Wheel Up Zoom In
Z or Mouse Wheel Down Zoom Out
Y Conversation "Yes"
N Conversation "No" Besides using these two to have C.J. respond to someone
in a mission or to a hooker or drug dealer, it can let
him respond to some of the things the pedestrians say.
V View: you can pick one of several distances for a 3rd person
view that mainly follows C.J. from behind.
NP1 or MMB Look Behind
********
I.7.aa Climbing trees
C.J. can walk up sloped trees, too, like Tommy Vercetti could in "Vice City."
One tall one is at the N side of the swamp in Back O Beyond.
http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/2523/00gta1screen1297qu.jpg
He can jump from the ground into the kind of trees on square boxes on the
sidewalks in Ocean Flats, too, if you have him jump from beyond a corner of the
base at the highest of the bottom limbs. If he jumps on a vehicle 1st, about a
vehicle hood distance from the next to the lowest limb with his head in or by
the leaves, sometimes he climbs up into the same trees.
He can jump up and climb the sort of trees with white trunks that you can find
by one with a thick gray trunk on a grass strip behind a white picket fence S of
the lot that's on the S side of the Fleischberg plant that's SW of downtown
Blueberry.
He can climb the kind, with pale marbled beige bark and gray limbs, you find
an example of across the street and NE of the hospital in Fort Carson.
He can climb onto the trees that look like little squat palm trees, and onto
the cactus (that has the basic shape of Saguaro cactus except with a smooth
skin), in the desert.
On the W side of the park that has a statue of a baseball player, on the block
of "ANC" of "FINANCIAL" in San Fierro, C.J. can jump from a ledge and get into a
tall tree with white bark.
********
I.7.aaa Taking Photographs
Raise the viewfinder of a Camera with the RMB, Zoom in and out with X and Z or
the Mouse Wheel, and snap the photo with the LMB.
Press the RMB to aim the Camera viewfinder at a GSF gang member recruited to
follow C.J., or a girlfriend, and they'll pose for a picture.
With the Camera equipped, press Tab around a GSF gang member recruited to fol-
low C.J. to have them take the Camera. Pose C.J. with W,S,A,D,C, and/or Space-
bar, then either press Tab again for them to take C.J.'s picture, or F or Enter
to have them return the Camera.
You can save the pictures taken with it in your GTA San Andreas User Files in
My Documents if you turn the option for Store Gallery Photos on in the menu.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I.7.b Initial fight moves Controls
Hold the RMB and press the LMB Advances with left and right jabs
Hold the RMB and press F Advances with Right jabs
and right kicks
Hold the RMB and W
and press the LMB Advances at a trot with right jabs
********
Note: I remap Left Shift and Spacebar for Foot Controls so each does the job
of the other.
********
Hold the RMB, W, and Left Shift,
and press the LMB Runs with right jabs
Hold the RMB and press Spacebar Blocks with both arms; this can also
be done while C.J. trots or runs
See the several gym sections for moves C.J. learns later. He needs to beat
all three trainers and learn their fight moves for 100% completion of the game.
Thanks to a Gamefaqs post by metalacid123 for pointing out that C.J. uses the
fight moves used by the last instructor he beat, so you could send him to an
earlier trainer if you like their style better, etc.
The fight moves can be supplemented with a melee weapon. Reader Chen Dong
shows this to good effect with C.J. armed with a Knife for "Gray Imports" and
"Los Sepulcros." It's a good combination of C.J. being able to run fast for a
chase, knock the target down, and use a strong weapon on them.
I.7.bb Having C.J. punch his neighbors to get to know them
A couple of pedestrians you might see in Fort Carson:
The cowboy in black with an eyepatch: "Green-blooded abomination!" "Can't let
them take me again," "He's one of them!" "For Earth, man!" "You can't steal my
mind," "You're not probin' me again," and "I know things."
A cowboy with sunglasses, a light beard, and a blue checkered shirt over a
blue jersey: "You won't abduct me--no, you won't."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I.7.c Swimming Controls
No key Tread water; if underwater, slowly rise to the surface
W Swim forward with a breast stroke
Mouse Steering Turn
********
Note: I remap Left Shift and Spacebar for Foot Controls so each does the
job of the other.
Left Shift Swim forward fast with a crawl;
press it quickly and repeatedly to have C.J. swim faster
Spacebar Jump till the water is about knee high; climb out of water
********
W then add LMB Dive underwater
W then add LMB (dive),
then hold Left Shift Swim underwater
Once he's underwater, you just need Left Shift, with Mouse Steering, to have
him keep swimming there. Press Left Shift quickly and repeatedly to have C.J.
swim faster.
Mind the breath meter, and notice that most of the marine life swims away if
C.J. gets close to them--the way they react to people in real life.
(You might try the Joypad option, which you can't use mouse steering for, to
see what swimming looks like with it. When C.J. is underwater, hold down Left
Shift and alternate between W and S, and C.J. goes forward by waving up and down
like a fish. Turning strokes, with A or D, look more active, too.)
Walking, driving, and flying underwater
Mxyzptlk, at GTA Forums, gave an exception for the swimming controls--a glitch
that lets C.J. walk, drive, etc., underwater.
One of the places you can send C.J. to create the glitch is N of the curve in
the highway between Hanky Pank Point and the pretzel-shaped intersection to the
W of it. Have him dive at the S side of the floor of San Andreas Sound and swim
at the place where the floor meets the cliff. His breath bar will rise then
disappear, he'll stand on his feet, and C.J. will be able to explore the under-
water area like he can on dry land.
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9420/00gta1screen5258ni.jpg
You can use a code to spawn a vehicle or have C.J. push one into the water
ahead of time. (If C.J. walks onto non-solid ground, like at the edge of the
map, he'll fall then appear on nearby dry land.)
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=222794
Thanks to Spaceeinstein for sending me a link to his video that shows how to
have C.J. drive underwater:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3iRt0Glfl30
If you have C.J. push the vehicle to the same spot that lets C.J. walk under-
water, it will show the properties it does on land, too, so C.J. can drive it.
Thanks to Demarest for explaining it as matter of finding a way to put C.J.
underwater without the game considering him as having crossed through the sur-
face of the water--the game won't treat him as if he's underwater and he can
walk along the bottom.
Thanks to GTA_Phreak for recommending that you look for the difference in the
lighting (lighter) waviness (none) and sound (no gurgling or whatever that is)
to find the spot, also indicated by the fact that it's the only underwater sur-
face that C.J. can create fires on, and if it's hard to put the vehicle in it,
you can sometimes get the same effect by having C.J. enter the vehicle.
He adds several more places where you can use the glitch:
- at the coast S of the 1st "O" of "PANOPTICON," a tiny bit W of due S of the
SW corner of the big brown square,
- in the middle of a NW to SE section of coast that's S of the W edge of the
"O" of "FLINT COUNTY," and
- at the SE coast of Flint County W of the "S" of the compass shown on the
ocean on the paper map. Using the map and radar in the game, going S to N, you
can see the coast has a straight line then a curved one--the spot is most of the
way N along the curve.
Orion_SR found another spot for the gimmick at the base of a gray corner of
the coast that's N of the T intersection that's N of the 1st "A" of "EASTER BAY
CHEMICALS."
KingBulleT 8747's method can be used for C.J., if not his vehicle, in loca-
tions where the shore is directly by water which is over C.J.'s head if he
stands in it, such as by the edge of a dock:
Have C.J. park parallel to the water with enough space between the vehicle and
the water for C.J. to stand in with a few feet to spare. Have him punch someone
to make them fight then have C.J. get in the vehicle and get jacked. When C.J.
falls in the water, he can do things underwater as he can on land without a bar
for his air level.
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=375951
Swimming mania hits San Andreas
The general understanding is that C.J. is the only one in the game who can
swim; an exception to that is that Ryder can swim in "Pier 69."
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1961/00gta1swimming93vj.jpg
Shane Wong, a reader, wrote to me that Catalina can swim, too, if C.J. drives
into the water with her while he has his choice of places to rob and she follows
him. That's the kind of thing that's interesting to me--it shows the depth of
the world Rockstar has created for us to have fun with. So I asked Shane to let
me know what any other testing about that turned up. It turns out all kinds of
people can swim in "San Andreas."
If C.J. leads a GSF gang member into water, they can swim.
If C.J. drives the car Sweet must use (as in "Los Sepulcros") into the water,
Sweet will get out and drown. But if C.J. drives a car that's optional for
Sweet (as in "Sweet's Girl") into the water, Sweet (and the girlfriend) will get
out and swim after C.J..
Reader Anurag Sinha confirms Catalina's swimming ability and adds that Mike
Toreno and T-Bone can swim in the mission "Mike Toreno."
Any law enforcer I've seen follow C.J. if he gets a wanted rating drowns if
they get into water, but since they are assigned vehicles, I guess they fit the
rest of the idea.
It sounds to me like anyone that follows C.J., including people codes cause to
follow him, can swim if C.J. leads them into water, including ones who get out
of vehicles that are optional for missions. They drown if they get out of a ve-
hicle they must use for a mission.
Thanks to Shane Wong for a real good find!

I.7.d Vehicle Controls
Note: I remap Horn from Caps Lock or H to Left Shift to be like my setup for
"Vice City."
I.7.e Four-Wheel vehicle Controls
Note for all non-flying vehicles:
turn on STEER WITH MOUSE in the OPTIONS menu.
W Accelerate
S Reverse; activates rear lights
Mouse Steering or A Left
Mouse Steering or D Right
Don't press the keys for acceleration and turning at the same time if you want
your vehicle to have better grip during turns.
A and D can also be used to correct the tipping of a vehicle, which can be
easier if you do it while accelerating.
Spacebar Brake; four wheel steering for a Monster truck or Rhino
In some cases, such as in front of the barber shop in "Ryder," II.7, having
C.J. drive into a red shaft of light during a mission will stop his vehicle,
too.
Q Look or aim left
E Look or aim right
Q and E
or MMB Look behind
LMB Fire
RMB Look all around using the mouse; auto-aim for Rhino cannon
F or Enter Exit a vehicle (if the vehicle is moving slowly, one press stops
the vehicle and another press makes C.J. exit)
********
Left Shift (I remap it from Caps Lock or H) Horn; Mr. Whoopee jingle; Taxi or
Cabbie Boost Jump after delivering 50 fares; siren and flashing
lights for emergency and law enforcement vehicles.
********
NP+
or 2 Sub-mission
Y Trip Skip: in some missions that start with a long driving section,
if C.J. fails the mission and you have him go back to the shaft of
light to start the mission again, you'll get a prompt asking if
you want to use the Trip Skip to skip past the initial section to
get to the rest of the mission--if you do, press Y.
Some missions that let you skip initial driving section are, at
least, "OG Loc," "Badlands," "Lure," and "Interdiction." ("End of
the Line" does something like that automatically for both the
timed section of getting out of Big Smoke's place and the Fire-
truck chase.)
V Change "Camera" View;
while using Cinematic View--the variety of views--
you can select from among the views it has with NP4
Up "Camera" positioned higher (good for seeing ahead near hilltops)
Down "Camera" positioned lower (good for reading C.J.'s license plate)
NP4 The scene revolves clockwise
NP6 The scene revolves counter-clockwise
F5 User Track Skip--skip a song on the User Track radio station
Mouse Wheel Up
or 4 Next Radio Station
Mouse Wheel Down
or R Previous Radio Station
Left Ctrl
or NP0 Nitro Boost--available for certain vehicles at mod shops
and for Taxis and Cabbies after delivering 50 fares
Tow Truck hook, Fork Lift fork, Dozer scoop, Dumper bed, Tractor hitch, and
Packer ramp:
NP2 Raise
NP8 Lower
The Tractor can pull a Plow behind it. (I've also used it to tow a sedan.)
Back a Linerunner, Tanker, or Roadtrain to one of several shapes of box trail-
er, or to an oil tank trailer, or a Baggage to a Baggage trailer or tall mobile
set of steps, to hitch it. To unhitch it, jackknife the combo (which may throw
the hitched part a distance away, for some reason) or run the front of the back
part into something. A Baggage trailer may be hitched to another Baggage trail-
er or to a tall set of mobile steps.
The Tug has a hitch on the back as a Baggage vehicle does, but I've yet to
find anything that hitches to it.
A Utility Van can also be hitched to a little "STREET CLEAN" trailer (see
"Utility Van" under "Land vehicles"--see I.8.a) the same way, but I'm not
sure if that trailer is in the unmodified game. So far I've only seen it by
using the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) which calls it a "Utility Trailer.
The Forklift, Dozer, and Combine Harvester are steered by turning the rear
wheels, which makes the vehicle steer in the opposite direction than the one
you're used to. It may be easier to get used to steering one if you use the
keyboard and not the mouse. But if you want to make one steer with the front
wheels, see X.10.b under "...miscellaneous jazz" for how to change column ag in
the data\handling.cfg file with Ben "Cerbera" Millard's CFG Studio 2.

NP8 Raises the front end while pressed when the body is lowered, and
lowers the front end while pressed when the body is raised
You can combine one front or back number pad key with one right or left side
number pad key to raise or lower a corner of the vehicle.
If Left Shift is pressed, and so the mode is changed from raised to lowered or
lowered to raised, while one or two number pad keys are pressed, the effect of
the number pad keys pressed changes accordingly: a lowered front in raised mode
changes to a raised front end in lowered mode, etc.
If NP+ is pressed while one or two number pad keys are pressed, it
raises the lowered part while pressed when the body is in lowered mode, and
lowers the raised part while pressed when the body is in raised mode.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_VdvwR0IB0
You can have C.J. drive a motorcycle or bicycle into the inverted yellow cone
on the NE side of the oval building S of "LOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS" to have
C.J. and his vehicle appear on the roof (where there's a Parachute). It makes a
good jump spot, and C.J., and any GSF gang member he takes on the motorcycle,
won't get hurt if you can have him land while staying on the vehicle.
All the motorcycles and bicycles, like the "Vice City" Sanchez, make it easy
to hold the wheelie position (hold down the Up key) except:
- the Wayfarer (the back fender won't let it),
- the Mountain Bike can do it but you need to pump the Up key and low acceler-
ation a while before you can get the bike to hold the wheelie, and
- the Sanchez, ironically, is too lousy at it to bother. If you pump the Up
key and low acceleration, you can get it to do it a bit.
Wallride
According to Fugitive at the GTA Place Forums > Grand Theft Auto Gaming >
Stunting, to do a wallride:
- wheelie before the wall (unless there's already a slope up to it at the base
of it), and
- hit the wall and press and hold right (if the wall is to the right) or left
(if the wall is on the left).
The drainage ditches, including one E of C.J.'s house, can be used for an easy
way to get used to doing wallrides.
Bump
Fugitive, at the GTA Place Forums > Grand Theft Auto Gaming > Stunting, has
the motorcycle wheelie so the front wheel hits the top of the ledge 1st. For
small ledges, wheelie just before the ledge; for higher ledges, wheelie higher
from farther back from the ledge and press Lean Forward (NP9) upon impact. For
a curb bump. wheelie at about 80 degrees so the back of the motorcycle hits the
curb.
http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showforum=67
For a double bump, wheelie at least 45 degrees to hit the sidewalk with the
back of the motorcycle at the time of the 1st bump.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7p4pCs49qo
The Wheelie method for a faster bicycle
According to Fugitive at the GTA Place Forums > Grand Theft Auto Gaming >
Stunting, if C.J. makes a bicycle wheelie to about a 45 degree angle as he ac-
celerates, it gives him a higher top speed. A wheelie closer to 90 degrees can
let C.J. go even faster, but if it's too high it will slow him down.
http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showforum=67
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UN01elJmR4
I'll add that you should release Up once C.J. has a wheelie.
Airgrab
Fugitive, at the GTA Place Forums > Grand Theft Auto Gaming > Stunting, has
advice for a few different kinds of airgrabs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5RNDT-_qb4
http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showforum=67
Ground Grab
Have C.J.'s motorcycle get airborne (by going over the crest of a hill, doing
a jump, etc.), wheelie/lean back so the back of the motorcycle hits the ground,
at which time you have C.J. bail, and press F/Enter quickly and repeatedly.
Fall Grab
Have C.J. push a motorcycle off the edge of a high place like the roof of a
building. Press F/Enter quickly and repeatedly as it starts to fall.
Ground Grab to Fall Grab
Combine the two methods given above. Have C.J. drive a motorcycle toward the
edge of a roof, wheelie so the back of the motorcycle hits the roof and bail as
it hits, and press F/Enter to have C.J. do the grab as the bike goes off the
edge.
The San Andreas Superjump
Spuds725, at the message board below, gave a good explanation of how to do the
San Andreas Superjump that 1gamer26 discovered and shared on the Gamefaqs web
site message board.
http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=40233&page=1&pp=20
You have C.J. drive the motorcycle along the front of the right wing of the
Cropduster or Hydra toward the fuselage and try to drive under the engine or
where the wing meets the body. He's teleported somewhere else, sometimes with a
lot of rotations. So far, on PC, I've only managed to make the plane hover in
mid-air in a wheelie position.
The "Vice City" morphing gimmick, which keeps Tommy on a motorcycle, isn't
used in "San Andreas," and certain PS2 codes that have the effect of keeping
C.J. on his motorcycle don't do that for the PC version.
Spuds says to use the PS2 "full weapon aiming while driving" code--on PC,
that's "OUIQDMW"--to have C.J. stay on the bike and get big Stats. I can reaf-
firm that one.
In a GTA Forums post, gtamike123 says to have C.J. stand by the motorcycle,
put in the code that makes vehicles blow up when C.J.'s vehicle bumps them, have
him get on the motorcycle, and put the code in again to disable it.
Bryceroni69 reports that Mxyzptlk's idea--to have C.J. get on a motorcycle
then enter the Jetpack code--which works for PS2 to keep C.J. on his motorcycle,
works for some collisions for PC.
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=223369
Monster Superjump
Have C.J. drive a Monster to an intersection where vehicles are stopped and
drive it onto the engine hood of a vehicle that's stopped. Have C.J. exit to
stop the truck in that position then try to enter the other vehicle.
Various things can happen. Before C.J. can enter the other vehicle, it may
become imbedded grill downward in the street--sometimes in a larger, flatter
condition. It may disappear or spin off somewhere nearby. When the driver
doesn't try to drive away and stays in the vehicle while C.J. takes it from
them, it may take C.J. spinning for a super jump. (If so, the vehicle may ex-
plode before landing.)
The BMX Stoppie glitch
The BMX can be used for a long stoppie time, although it's more of a glitch
than a long stoppie. To do it, have C.J. do a stoppie with the BMX and lean so
far forward that the BMX becomes stuck in one spot, which you maintain by hold-
ing Up/Lean Forward.
The Two Wheeler gimmick
A "Vice City" gimmick I learned from Chris of the GTA Place web site...
http://www.thegtaplace.com/vicecity/glitches.php
works in "San Andreas," too. It lets you use a helicopter to get a big Two
Wheeler score. To do it, get C.J. into a Maverick or such and give W a tap to
get the helicopter off the ground. Press S and either A or D to press one land-
ing rail to the ground. When you've got as long a time for it as you want, have
C.J. exit the helicopter and enter a land vehicle. The Two Wheeler score will
appear on the screen. (The score has a glitch of giving you a longer time per-
iod than you used for the stunt.)

Quadruple Insane Jumps
PLPynton at GTA Forums says that Insane Jumps are based on jumps that are one
to three of these four things:
-more than 40 meters long
-more than 4 meters high
-2 flips or more
-more than 360 degree of rotation z (around a vertical axis)
He says you can get the game to recognize Quadruple Insane Jumps by changing
the data\main.scm file. You find the heading:
:HJ_238
The 2nd line there is:
0020: $1304 > 4.0 ;; floating-point values
Change it to:
0018: $1292 > 4 ;; integer values
You can use one of Demarest's SA Code Tools (see X.13.n), "Darkpact," to
change the data\main.scm file so you won't have to create a new save game file
for it.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I.7.g Note for all the flying vehicles
You can turn on FLY WITH MOUSE in the OPTIONS menu (I usually don't).
You might want to remember where the airborne bribes are.
When C.J. uses one of the planes, jets, helicopters, or the Parachute, an al-
timeter appears to the left of the radar.
As in "Vice City," the horizontal traffic light posts aren't solid--the verti-
cal ones are. Candy Suxxx' lifted leg and the big chicken head aren't solid,
either.
A flying vehicle can take some damage and keep flying, although the flying
ability may be impaired and it may smoke. A Hydra can get hit by a missile,
show some flames for a bit, then continue that way.
When C.J. is flying with a wanted rating, have him fly low to avoid attracting
Police Mavericks that fire bullets (three or more stars) and Hydras that fire
heat-seeking missiles (four or more stars). It can let you practice for
"N.O.E.," too--keep flying low and the Hydras will lose C.J. (and thanks to
spaceeinstein for reminding me).
Where the three airline entrances are
- Los Santos International Airport: east of the terminal building that looks
like the Theme Building (similar to the one in "III") is a rectangle of pairs of
roads paired with one over another. The airline entrance is north of "LOS" by
the north side of the upper street of the pair that are the northern east to
west pair.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_Building
- Easter Bay Airport: it's another case of roads paired with one over another.
The entrance is by the northeast section of the inner part of the upper circular
road south of "ER."
- Las Venturas Airport: the entrance is just south of the middle of the east
side of the basically "X"-shaped terminal building--just southwest of the west
tip of the "V" of the big "LAS VENTURAS" letters.
C.J. can pay a Juank airline $500 to get a ride on an AT-400 from one airport
to another. Each airline office is open from the start of the game but only
makes rides available to territories that are legally available, so rides are
available when C.J. makes at least two territories legally available. An air-
line ride gets rid of any number of wanted stars, too. Thanks to Orion_SR for
telling me that when the Badlands become legally available C.J. can get an air-
line ride from Las Venturas, which clears the wanted rating he got from going
there, to Los Santos.

Thanks to the tip by at Gamefaqs by Riamu for the tip that Shamals and
AT-400's have auto-pilot. (I'll add the Hydra and Andromada to the list--in
other words, all the jets have it.) Once you give one of those jets enough al-
titude, you can let go of the controls and it will fly, a bit slower and at the
same altitude, in the same direction.
Banking turns cause a drop in altitude which you can compensate for with ac-
celeration and by turning the vehicle up (the Down key). Rudder turns don't
cause that problem but don't allow as sharp a turn.
Thanks to Orion_SR for the tip that the AT-400 doesn't get attacked by Hydras
during a high wanted rating.
People who aren't used to the PC controls for planes, and complain that the
controls make planes hard to fly, might want to see this stunt video, "Wichita,"
by Ghostchild:
http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=745
I have his word that he did it on PC with a keyboard and mouse setup and not a
gamepad or joystick. (If you saw his motorcycle stunt videos for "Vice City,"
you shouldn't be too surprised.)
********
According to Rockstar North lead level designer Craig Filshie, early 2005:
"Planes, like the rest of San Andreas, are drawn around CJ as he moves
through the state. In Los Santos, you'll see high-flying commercial jets
thousands of feet in the air. On the beaches of Santa Marina, there might
be the occasional flyby of a biplane. Out in the country, smaller private
aircraft are constantly buzzing around. When we first implemented the
feature, we found that every once in a while a plane would spawn with a
trajectory that led it directly into the side of a mountain or right into
the ground. And we loved it, so it stayed."
http://planetgrandtheftauto.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Articles.Detail&id=2
I'll add that sometimes the planes come trailing smoke down to the ground.
The area near the SW side of the Big Ear is a good spot to see it more often.

dicated on the radar and by a sound effect.
You might like to try flying the Hydra upside-down for a change.
You can point the thrusters at an angle for a slow forward speed. The Hydra
jolts for an instant when you go from hover mode to jet mode or back (Thanks to
GTA_Phreak).

In "San Andreas," C.J. and others sometimes make superhuman jumps to get into
vehicles, which I noticed playing around with the BUBBLECARS code. Law enforc-
ers can do this to bust C.J., too, so avoid flying low to the ground during a
wanted rating.
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5831/00gta1hunterhighjumpingswat9aj.jpg

Sometimes, with full Armor and Health, C.J. can survive a long fall, but will
die if he falls the same distance but lands wearing an unopened Parachute.
Sometimes it doesn't open if C.J. doesn't fall enough 1st. To avoid that, try
not to cut it close--give him a high altitude where he can deploy it safely.
When C.J.'s Parachute is deployed and it looks like he may overshoot his land-
ing spot, you can have him fly in a circle to delay his advance toward it.
C.J. can jump from a flying vehicle into deep water without harm if the water
is deep enough. If he has a Parachute, it's a way to let him make such a jump
yet keep his Parachute afterward, too.

F or Enter Remove the Jetpack--it may not remain where C.J. leaves it if
C.J. uses something else, like a Parachute, in that slot,
or uses a vehicle, and might disappear if C.J. goes into
a building that loads the graphics for the interior. It
often appears in front instead of behind him at removal,
leading to moments more like Maxwell Smart than James
Bond when he's in a hurry.
C.J. can't enter a building that loads an interior while wearing the Jetpack.
C.J. has to remove the Jetpack to switch from one of the several weapons he
can fire while wearing it to another, even if the weapon he's equipped with
while wearing the Jetpack runs out of ammo.
Within limits, the Jetpack will go higher if operated over a higher surface.
An interesting feature for the Jetpack in the Joypad Configuration is to let
you have C.J. hover motionless by pressing the buttons or keys for strafe left
and strafe right at the same time. Combined with the auto-target feature, it
can be handy for having C.J. keep some distance while he shoots human targets.

The Dude crane magnet in Easter Basin, San Fierro, and the one in Hunter Quar-
ry, Bone County, work on vehicles. (You can have C.J. get into an attached ve-
hicle and make a swing of it. This can also help you get Insane Stunt and Two
Wheeler stats.)
The Final Build magnet E of the Clown's Pocket, Las Venturas, only works on
the boxes in the area. Once the boxes are lifted, they hover in space.
All three have magnets that look a little like they're from "Plan 9 from Out-
er Space" by Ed Wood, 1959.
The wrecking ball crane, in San Fierro at the N end of the big brown block N
of where it says "DOHERTY" on the paper map, can be used to attack pedestrians
and vehicles. It doesn't reach beyond the lot, though, so C.J. has to bring one
into the range of the crane. A wanted rating will bring the corrupt law en-
forcers and their vehicles around. It can kill a pedestrian in one drop of the
wrecking ball, but it takes a number of drops or swings of it to do much damage
to a vehicle. Since it's impractical, it's a sort of Rube Goldberg contraption.

C.J. can jack a boat. Have him swim to the front of it and press Spacebar to
have him grab the side, and again to have him climb aboard. As in "Vice City,"
the pilot jumps off and can't swim. If it's a Predator, you may have a police-
man stand on the front and fire at C.J., though.
See "Codes," I.14, to see how to use the FLYINGFISH code to fly one of the
speedboats like a flying Rhino.

I.8.a A rundown of some of the vehicles and some of their real names
There are pictures of the vehicles at:

I especially thank the gta-series web site for having the screen shots I re-
lied on the most till I came up with my own.
http://www.gta-series.com/
I'm sorry if some of the screen shots have looked look a little murky. For
about half a year, I had to use an old GeForce4 MX 440 graphics card to see the
game vehicle proportions to make real vehicle comparisons. If I put all the
settings low, I could get rid of graphic distortions in C.J.'s immediate area by
switching between a couple of the lowest resolutions. With a shot lined up, I'd
crank it to 1024x768 and medium detail for the shot. Otherwise, it would look
like this:

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/9496/00gtasacjwaitingforanewgraphic.jpg
Going from a graphics card that barely manages to play the game to one that's
moderately good, with a moderately good PC, otherwise, really makes a differ-
ence. It's like the difference between seeing a sketch of something compared to
seeing it with the color shading and little light effects added. A good card,
etc., lets you use a draw distance mod, too, so screenshots look a lot better.
If I go on too much with certain vehicles, it's because the new card makes me
go, "Oo-oo, look at that!" at everything--I'll calm down.
As noted at the start, this walk-through, with active links, is at:
http://www.freewebs.com/glenster1/index.htm
Click "Back" to return from any of the links there--if you "X" it out, you'll
exit the web page. To compare screenshots to photographs of vehicles, you might
bring a page up twice and click a link from each.
The vehicles that return unchanged from "Vice City" are covered in "Glenster's
Guide to Some of Vice City" in sections I.9.B to I.9.E. A few of the new ones
are also covered in this guide at "Exports and Imports for the Cranberry Crane"
(VI.44).
Sometimes, the years I give for a model aren't the entire range of years the
model looked like that. The Wikipedia article that accompanies a model may give
the years of the "generation" of a model. Google Image Search may help me nar-
row the range of years beyond that. It's not a perfect system, so if anyone has
any helpful ideas, please let me know. At this writing, I could use the proper
names for, at least, some of the boats, the Sweeper, and the Dozer.
If a web address I give doesn't work by the time you read this, try using the
beginning of the address and searching the site (or just scouring Google or such
like I did).

Flying vehicles
Abandoned AC tower--photos of a short fat plane the Gee Bee Model R
The Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster, the "Flying Silo," was made by Granville
Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Mass. The R-1 was flown by Jimmy Doolittle to
win the 1932 Thompson Trophy cross-country speed race, and he set a new world
landplane speed record of 476 km/h (296 mph) in the Shell Speed Dash.

AT-400 Boeing 737--I'm guessing 737-400 to match the "400"; an Airbus A320 is
similar The AT-400 is in a big hanger at the SE corner of Las Venturas Airport.
C.J. can also get a ride in one as a passenger at each of the three airports.
If you have C.J. try to go around the surface of it with a Jet Pack, you find
it has some unusual collision files. There are big invisible parts over the
wings, and a bumpy strip of it over the fuselage. C.J. can go through the
wheels, the middle of the tail fin, and fly up into part of the belly of the
fuselage, which can leave it in a wheelie position. I haven't tried the VC su-
perjump, except using an SA AT-400 for the VC Packer, with it, though.
C.J. can enter an AT-400 on the right or left side, but I'm not sure if the
AT-400 seats one or two. I haven't yet tried to get the right door near a plat-
form high enough for one of C.J.'s gang members to enter it, if they can. They
won't go up the steps he can tow to a door.

Andromada The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a good match for the wings and engines
and may be the origin of the name--the name of a galaxy. The fuselage has the
right bulge along the lower sides and proportion to the wings and engines, but
the nose is too pointed and the Galaxy is entirely too big and moosey to be the
Andromada.

A newer cargo jet, the Boeing C-17 Globemaster, just manages to get into the
1992 time frame of the game, and the most similar models (without the upturned
tips on the main wings) have the right round nose. The proportion between fuse-
lage and engines is wrong but it's a good indication of the overall size of the
Andromada.
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3258/00gta1andromedaboeingc17globem.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17
An older cargo jet, the Lockheed C-141B or C Starlifter, is similar but it's
too long and thin with too long a fuselage in front of the main wings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-141B_Starlifter
You might say it's mainly a Galaxy reduced to the size of a Globemaster and
given the nose of the Globemaster. It's featured in "Stowaway" and "A Home in
the Hills." On PC, you can also make it appear with the GTA SA Control Center
(X.13.c). You can open and close the hatch in back (but can't get anything in
it) with NP8 and NP2. The Andromada seats two.

Beagle Britten-Norman Islander It's high wing, twin prop plane. If they
made a more stubby-nosed version, it would be perfect. The 1st Islander, the
G-ATCT c/n 1, shown in the 1st link below, looks the most that way of the ones I
found. The name may come via a pun with the name of the C-2 Greyhound, which
has a few similar features, and the fact that the black bulb on the nose of new-
er Islanders, combined with the two big front windows, makes it look a little
like a beagle. The Beagle seats two.

Cargobob Sikorsky CH-53 front and attachments, Boeing CH47D Chinook fuselage,
and Eurocopter EC135 tail prop. This is sort of the Glendale of helicopters
(and about as much fun to drive). It looks to me like someone took a CH-53 and
smoothed it off and shaped it like a Chinook on the way back to one of those
distinctive Eurocopter tail props. And thanks to photographer Peter Jong, who I
think is right about the Cargobob looking like it has the fuselage of a Boeing
CH47D Chinook. It also makes the name funnier:
The name is, I think, a play on the idea of a shiskebab. You take a Eurocop-
ter tail prop, including the stem or "stick," and stick a Chinook on it--a cargo
helicopter on it--and you get a Cargobob. It seats two.
(The 1st several links below show a CH-53, a Chinook, and two Eurocopters.)

The word "Hydra" has had many uses. It began to be associated with something
fierce as the name of a mythical monster with more than one head. In recent
years, a Hydra-like problem, or Hydra, is one that increases in problems as you
as you try to solve it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra
The Hydra 70 family of WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket) includes the Mk
40, "originally used during the Korean and Vietnam wars," "from about 20 differ-
ent firing platforms, both fixed-wing and armed helicopters, by all US armed
forces. Today, the AH-64D Apache Longbow carries the Hydra rocket launcher
standard on its weapon pylons." The relationship of this rocket to the type of
helicopter the Hunter is based on is probably the source of the name of the "San
Andreas" Hydra.

Thanks again to GTA Phreak--this time for specifying the D version of the P40.
Like the Rustler, it's stubbier than preceding models, the front end is differ-
ent, and the machine guns were moved from the center to the wings.

Boats
Coastguard A low flats boat, about 20', with a couple of outboard motors,
good in shallow water, with a rollover bar-looking thing with several antennae
in the back. It's the same as the one used in "Vice City." Whether it is or
isn't based on an actual Miami or San Francisco Coast Guard Response boat, it's
a plausible example of how one could look. It could also pass for someone's
lake and stream fishing boat.

Dinghy An inflatable fast rescue, landing, diving, or recreational boat. It
looks like an inflatable life raft in the front and sides with a steering wheel
stuck in the front and two motors in the back. It could be used as a dinghy--a
smaller boat used as a utility boat by a larger boat.

through nozzles in the back instead of using propellers. It has a showy inboard
motor with an air scoop and two exhaust pipes.

either the New Generation Patrol Craft (PC Class) or Interceptor Craft (PK
Class), that can have a general purpose machine gun fitted in the back.

The 'E' class Tiger Marine Fast Response Craft, used by the Maritime and
Coastguard Agency (MCA), the Port of London Authority (PLA), and the Royal Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) on the River Thames, looks like a similar
boat. It would need a metal hull, if it doesn't have one, to be more of a
match.

It's more recent than 1992, the time of "San Andreas," but a USN Mark V Spe-
cial Operations Craft (SOC) is a bigger version of a similar boat. Even more
recent, a CMN Interceptor DV-15 fast patrol boat is a similar kind of boat but
would need to be stretched out to have a longer open deck to be a good match.

http://www.defense-update.com/products/i/interceptor-DV-15.htm
A "launch" is a motorboat with an open or half open deck. The Launch has a
machine gun fitted on the back but it doesn't work. It's in the 2nd covered
dock S of the 2nd "S" of "Easter Basin."

Predator A police boat. I found a couple of basically comparable fast patrol
boats, shown at the 1st two links below. It's a little launch with a radar that
doesn't revolve on top. Like the Predator of "III" and "Vice City," it has a
built-in machine gun that shoots forward or to either side.

Squalo III As in "Vice City," it looks like a "cigarette" speedboat Crockett
had in the TV series "Miami Vice" (except with a rounded windshield, etc.). In
"San Andreas" it has the railing of the 39' Chris Craft Stinger used in the pi-
lot episode, 1984, and otherwise basically looks like the Wellcraft 38 Scarab KV
used for the 2nd season and on.
The first link below is for a Chris Craft Stinger, and the next five are Well-
crafts, the last three of which show the one Wellcraft made for Don Johnson
(thanks to posts by DJdude at the Miami-Vice.org forum for those five pictures
of Wellcrafts).

USS Numnutz: the submarine at the coast of Esplanade East, San Fierro, is a
solid version of the non-solid one that's underwater N of North Point Mall in

As mentioned in section I.1, I think the name of the submarine at the coast of
Esplanade East, San Fierro, may be a pun on the name of Fleet Admiral Chester
William Nimitz, who helped design and served in submarines during much of his
early naval career, was the United States signatory to the surrender terms
aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay at the end of WWII, and was ac-
tive in San Francisco community affairs in the last years of his life.
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq36-4.htm
Thanks to Ben "Cerbera" Millard for the tip that the Nimitz class of aircraft
carriers, named after the same Fleet Admiral, is the biggest--the aircraft car-
rier at Easter Basin is relatively puny.
Vortex A hovercraft souped up for racing See I.12.b, "Fun glitches, gim-
micks, etc.," for the way to use "The Vortex submarine gimmick" in the PC ver-
sion of "San Andreas." Thanks to GTA Phreak for telling me that if C.J. has 40%
Flying Skill, he gets a Parachute if he bails from a Vortex. (I used VGGGDKP to
spawn a Vortex on the tallest LS skyscraper and had C.J. drive off--he wouldn't
exit the airborne Vortex when I pressed F, but he ended up with a Parachute.)

One observation: some people need the Stallion to be a pure Ford Mustang,
which the middle of the Stallion may be a modified version of, but they overlook
the Mustangs of the Hotring Racer, which is a better car, and which they usually
call a Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero Coupe, which is mostly what Hotring Racer B
is.

Targa (thanks to sonofkorol at Gamefaqs) featuring a rollover bar (a bit squared
off on the Comet) (the Targa has a removable top and back window)...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targa_top
...except the back of the roll bar is vertical and covered except for a little
horizontal window, smaller than the ones on the back of Jaguar series 2 E-type
convertible roofs (with unfortunately little rear visibility for the driver).
It's different than the back of the cab of the "Vice City" Comet. It's like a
squared-off version of the back window of the GTA Hustler. I haven't found a
real good match for it.
The top of the front of the body of one of those Porsche 911 Targas has been
smoothed flat from side to side and is horizontal over the engine but slants
down from across the back of the headlights to the front bumper.
The bumpers are like those of those 1967-1973 Porsche 911 Targas except that
the bumpers are thicker and the back bumper goes completely across the back end.
The back end of the body is like a 1978-1983 Porsche 911 featuring the "whale
tail."

The bumpers are thicker like those on those 911's as well, except the two ver-
tical black segments of the rear bumper are slimmer and repeated on the front
bumper, resembling all-blackened versions of the ones found on some of the bump-
ers of the 1967-1973 models mentioned above.
And the horizontal bumpers look more like those on a 1985-1990 Jaguar XJ-S.

1978 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. But for the "San Andreas" version, different
things are used to change the front and back ends.
The long oval vertical brake light housings of the Eldorado have been turned
upside-down and the black pads and the housing for them have been removed.

1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix
It has headlights above the grill, which has a round spear-like bumper project
from it on either side, like a smoothed-out, simplified front of a 1957 Chevro-
let Bel Air. For example, Rockstar North removed the horizontal bar that goes
across the middle of the front. (A 1955 Buick is similar and would be simpli-
fied, too.)

It has "SUMO" on the engine hood. 1983-1986 Ford Mustang LX (preferably 1986
because it got stronger through that period) with some 1987-1988 Ford Mustang GT
hatchback features.
You give it the sort of headlights and grill of a 1983-1986 Ford Mustang ex-
cept each pair of headlights are merged into one rectangular headlight as found
on a 1987-1988 Ford Mustang. You give it the sort of windows of a 1986 LX and
the airfoil found on the back edge of the trunk of some of the 1987-1988 GT
hatchback versions. Then you improvise a few other NASCAR design changes for
the front and back ends. The Wikipedia article at a link below has a section on
popular ways the Mustang has been customized. A couple of 1986 LX models and a
1987 GT hatchback version are shown in the 1st three links below. The 2nd 1986
model has been customized a bit in the Hotring way.

divider between the side windows and less body behind the rear side window like
those on a 1989-1992 (more a "San Andreas" time frame though it appeared in

It has "BOBO" on the engine hood. It's a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero
Coupe Notchback. The Aero Coupe model, introduced in 1986, has a shorter trunk,
which is good for the match, but has a rear window that slopes out more from the
back of the cab, which is bad for it. A Notchback doesn't have that big rear
window. Champion Dale Earnhardt is pictured with one below.

the middle like on the front end of a 1986 Buick Regal T-Type/Grand National.

I haven't found a great match for the cab yet. It's roughly like a cab for a
1957 four door Chrysler Windsor with the little window dividers removed, and
with the back window of a 1956 Chevrolet.

Rancher and Ranger 1983-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and S10 Blazer
1984-1992 Jeep Cherokee
The Ranger is basically a Rancher that's been adapted for police use and is
usually found beyond the main cities. They're both shaped like the "Vice City"
Rancher.
A "Vice City" gimmick has broader application in "San Andreas": C.J. gets five
Shotgun shells, for any kind of Shotgun (shells for one add to the ammo of any
other), the 1st time he enters any of the Police cars or a Ranger
1983-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer (the GMC Jimmy is similar) for most of the body
with each pair of headlights simplified into one.
Thanks to the GTA Forums > GTA San Andreas > General Discussion > Real Car

And thanks to reader Logan King for pointing out that the models of this range
of years make a better match for the grill and headlights.

Romero Custom Cadillac, Lincoln, and Mercury Marquis Colony Park hearse It's
not the same as Romero's Hearse in "Vice City."
Front bumper, raised section in the middle of the engine hood, and wheel
wells: 1980-89 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham except the two vertical pieces on the
front of the bumper should be removed. A 1985 model is shown at the link below.

line. The front end, above the bumper, should be customized to be a bit like
that of a 1971 Chevrolet Impala.

Sabre 1971-1972 Buick GSX
1970 Oldsmobile 442
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle
1971-1972 Buick GSX for the pairs of round headlights and the sides of the
front bumper. Of the three cars listed, it also comes the closest to matching
the middle of the grill, although it should be flat and not project to a verti-
cal line in the middle. The 1970 Buick Gran Sport GSX is remembered as the pow-
erful GSX since GM requirements of the next two years--to use low lead gasoline,
etc.--made the GSX less powerful. If we choose the Buick, the "Vice City" Sabre
Turbo could be the 1970 GSX and the Sabre could represent the 1971-1972 models.
Thanks to nekkidhillbilly at GTA Forums for the Buick GSX

Thanks to reader Ruffin Bailey for suggesting that the name "Sabre" may come
from the 442, prior to 1968, being an option to soup up an Oldsmobile Cutlass.
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle for the body It matches the arch at the back of the
side window better than the two listed above. The "Vice City" Sabre Turbo could
be the SS 454 (see the Wikipedia article at the link below).

The back end looks like that of a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible, with the
hard top cab of one of the Chevelle given a window squared off to be a bit
smaller than that of a convertible Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick GS, or Oldsmobile
442.

Sandking 1984-1992 Jeep XJ Cherokee
1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee, aka a Jeep ZJ
The overall style is that of a 1984-1992 Jeep XJ two door with bigger suspen-
sion and wheels, a hood vent, an air foil on the back of the roof, and the head-
lights made the same vertical length as the grill.
A 1986 and 1992 model, and three models of unknown years, are shown at the

The body looks a little fatter in relation to the windows and upper cab area.
The body, except the front end, has been rounded like a 1993 Jeep ZJ to look
more aerodynamic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Grand_Cherokee
http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/misc/models.html
It's about the same as the "Vice City" Sandking. It could be used off road,
such as for Baja racing. (This isn't to be confused with one of the San Andreas
pedestrians calling someone a "baha." "Baha" is pronounced the same but is a
derogatory term for a hippie that doesn't bath or such.)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baha
The bigger suspension makes it credible that it could raise so much when it
has hydraulics, which it has about one in ten-fifteen of the times it appears by
the Big Ear.

It has a back bumper and brake lights like a simplified version of those on an
early 1970's Oldsmobile 442/"Vice City" Stallion. It's as though compressing
the "Vice City" Stallion to make the "San Andreas" Stallion made the brake
lights bigger, like those on the back of a later Oldsmobile. Thanks to Prodi-
gital at GTA Forums for the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 brake lights tip. A 1972 Olds-

on the ends.

Stretch Cadillac limousine and Lincoln Town Car (another Ladillac or Cadin-
coln) stretch limousine--possibly some Ford Mercury limos thrown in for good
measure It's not the same as the "Vice City" Stretch.
Most, not all, limousines are customizations of cars by Cadillac or Lincoln.
Some features are better indications of the customizer than of the original car.
Add the fact that Rockstar sometimes makes a vehicle out of a blend of two or
more, and identifying the original car could get tricky. I mainly used photo-
graphs of Cadillac and Lincoln Town Car limousines to identify a few things
about the Stretch.

Front bumper: the 1989 Lincoln Town Car limo front bumper goes straight across
like the one on the Stretch, but the bumpers should wrap around the sides like
the ones on the Ford Mercury limo given a few paragraphs below. The two verti-
cal pieces that are on the bumper in front of the grill should be removed, too.

Baggage 1985 Equitech M40 baggage tractor is close. (As with the same vehi-
cle of "Vice City," an Equitech for another year is probably the match, but I
couldn't find it. Some models by other companies are nearly matches, too.)

Berkley's RC Van 1971-1974 Honda Life with some minor design changes The
windows should be a bit smaller, but it's the best match for the body size and
shape I've seen. The 1986 GMC Vandura and Dodge Ram van or B series van are too
fat, etc., to be matches, but the headlights look like those on one of the Dodge
vans. Berkley's RC van is little--he only has nine model kit boxes in the back.
The "San Andreas" Pony, and the "Vice City" Top Fun van and Pony, are the
same.
A 1972 and 1971-1974 (year?) Honda Life, and a 1985 Dodge 3500, are shown be-

C.J. can use any Broadway for the Pimping mission, III.22. One Broadway is
parked by a gas station in the NE area of the block of the Idlewood 24/7.
Thanks to GTA_Phreak for the tip that starting and cancelling the Pimping mis-
sion gives the Broadway 200% Health--the extra endurance is gone after the car
is saved in a garage, but it's easy to start and stop the mission anytime.
The Broadway is also the vehicle represented over Michelle's garage door.

Cement Truck 1986?-1991 Ford L8000 or 9000 Concrete Mixer The wide rectangu-
lar arc-shaped grill of the Ford is similar but should be widest at the base
instead of the middle, and the Ford headlights should project from the front of
the fenders a bit instead of being recessed into them. The L of the Ford L
series is more common than the LT or LTS, which look similar.
The 1st link is for a 1986 (L?) 9000, the 2nd is a 1990 L8000, and the 3rd is
a 1988 LT8000.

Club Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 or Citi Golf. (Thanks to FORDSUCK for the
Volkswagen Golf tip.) The brake lights and rear window of the Club look more
like those on early 1990's Golfs. The Volkswagen may have two pairs of head-
lights like the Club except the Club has the larger of the two pairs of head-
lights as the inside pair. The body of the Club is more squared off. A 1992
Golf GTI is at the next two links.

Combine Harvester A combine with a straw chopper attached to the front. Some
of the John Deere combines I saw are the most similar to the GTA one in shape.
Many of them have a cab with a yellow roof like the GTA one, too.
A 1982 John Deere 7720, a 7720 I don't have a model year for, a 1983 John
Deere 8820, and a 1984 8820 are shown at the links below.

combines like the ones shown at the web addresses below.

DFT-30 A late 1980's to late 1990's (range of years?) Ford Cargo CF8000 Ford
Cargo is a Ford of Europe truck. The "FT" may stand for "Ford Truck." I don't
know how you designate the kind with the 3rd window on each side. It's a good
match for cab shape, fenders, and side windows. Thanks to Mxyzptlk at GTA For-
ums for showing that it's a better match if, like similar Mitsubishi cargo
trucks, it's given a horizontal black band below the windshield. The bottom of
the band should be the height of the bottom of the front side window.
The DFT30 is a six wheel truck that's missing the middle wheel on the left
side. The 6x4 Ford Cargo trucks like this I found are 2622, 2626, and 2631. If
the DFT30 is thought to look like a 4x4 on the left side, it matches a number of
1980's Ford Cargo 4x4s.
The 1987, 1988, 1990, and 1997 models of the Ford Cargo CF8000 are at the next
four links.

Dozer ? Wheel loader
It's called a Dozer, which has tracks like a tank. But, like the Rhino, it
has wheels instead, so it's a near match for a number of (late 1980's?) Cater-
pillar, Case, Ford, Komatsu, etc., wheel loaders. I haven't found a good match
for the fenced platform in front of the cab. I wonder if that's from another
vehicle and this is another example for the Hybrids section.

Dumper (Iveco) Astra Rigid Dump Truck, an articulated dump truck. An "artic-
ulated" vehicle is built in sections that are hinged or connected in some way to
allow flexibility of movement (thanks to my Webster's unabridged).
Like the Monster trucks, the Dumper is good for running over other vehicles--
it sends one flying now and then, too.

Dune A 1991 Mercedes-Benz AK 4x4 with a flatter front end makes the closest
match of the models I saw. It's one of the kinds of trucks that might be used
in the Paris-Dakar Rally. The Mercedes-Benz SK is similar but I didn't find a
version of it as a 4x4. There are similar trucks by MAN (LE2000, ME2000, TG-A,
etc.).
Thanks to k1ngr0b at GTA Forums for the tip that it looked like one of the
trucks used in the Dakar

F.B.I. Truck 1984-1992 Jeep Cherokee It looks to me like somebody took the
Jeep to a while-you-wait auto-armor place and had it dipped it into blue glop,
then rubbed off a couple of patches on the front windshield with the elbow of
their shirt sleeve to look through.
This truck is in the game files but not activated for the game. In the PC
version, you can use a mod, or a vehicle spawner like the GTA SA Control Center
(X.13.c) has, to put it in the game if you like a gloppy Jeep.

Fire Truck (on the block S of the save place that's on the brown block E of
"GARCIA," and in the "End of the Line" mission) I think it's one of the cuter
vehicles in San Andreas (and not bad for getting through traffic). I think it's
a late 1980's Maxim Aerial Ladder fire truck. A 1983 model is shown at the 1st

Hotknife 1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8 two-door, three window (the windshield isn't
counted) Coupe customized as a hotrod with a flatter roof, a blower, no fenders,
and front side exhausts. The most popular cars from this era to customize as
hotrods are 1932-1934 Fords, and in some ways this looks like a 1932 Ford Three
window coupe customized that way.
It looks like the original grill was removed and a smaller grid and a couple
of bars partly cover the hole. But the hole indicates the grill isn't from a
Ford. The closest comparison I know for it is with a 1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8
Coupe. (If you use a 1933 Hudson-Essex Terraplane Coupe, which has the same
grill as the Hudson Pacemaker 8 Coupe, you need to eliminate the two little rear
side windows when the hood for the cab is created.)
A 1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8 Coupe, a 1933 Hudson-Essex Terraplane Coupe, and a
regular and a hotrod 1932 Ford Three Window Coupe are shown at the 1st four
links below. The 1st Hudson and 1st Ford look about identical except for the
grill--the Ford grill is shown better on the Ford hotrod.

Hustler 1933-1935 or so five window (the windshield isn't counted) coupe with
some hot rod customization: the roof is lower than on the typical coupe of the
time. A lot of cars of this period have similar features as one another, and
the roof and windows of a lot of them, even pickup trucks, from this period have
gotten the same sort of hot rod treatment, the most popular choices for it being
1932-1934 Fords. This isn't a Ford, though.
The grill isn't very wide, doesn't flare forward at the bottom as some grills
from this period do, and the sides of it are parallel instead of getting closer
together from top to bottom. The closest comparison for the grill I've found so
far is a 1935-1936 Willys (pronounced "willis").

http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/1773/00gta1hustler1935willysstandar.jpg
For comparison, it looks like a 1935 Chevrolet three window coupe that's had
the back of the doors and cab moved back a bit and has been made into a five
window coupe.

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/7303/00gta1hustler1935chevrolet2doo2.jpg
Either due to body customization or the model it is, the back of the back
fenders curl down more than most of the cars of the time, and the trunk curls
down father back than the fenders. The fenders of most cars of the period
flare back beside the flare of the trunk, all at the same 135 degree or so an-
gle.

something from the right time period, I'd say 1986 Chevrolet Suburban but with
the windows, grill, and wheel wells of a Ford Explorer. Personally, I'd just
say the model is based on a 1991 to 1994 Ford Explorer. (See below; brawling
will be restricted to the rules according to Hoyle.)

Linerunner 1986-1992 (later models look about the same) Peterbilt 379 has the
right level engine hood but the headlights aren't built into the front fenders.

DazzaJay (thanks!) has a good match with a 1994 Freightliner Classic XL for
the way the headlights are built into the fenders; it otherwise looks similar to
the Peterbilt but the engine hood is slanted.

Merit 1990-1998 Mazda 929 (Mark 4, aka the Efini MS-9)
The 1992 and 1993 (a year after the time of the game, but the style is the
same) models are shown at the links below.

The headlights, grill, and brake lights are more like the boxier ones on the
1986-1992 Mazda 929 (Mark 3). (The years of the Mark 3 and 4 overlap). The
Merit has a few variations of those--for example, the inner edges of the brake
lights are slanted parallel to the slant of the light divider in the middle of
them. And the outside edges of the parking lights are slanted a little differ-
ently.
A 1987 and 1990 model are shown at the links below.

Jamolos Negrit?a> at GTA Forums gets my thanks for explaining a Monster truck
glitch: if you drive a front wheel of a Monster truck up to, or a bit over,
another vehicle, then use acceleration and brake at the same time, you can send
the other vehicle flying. (Just run over other vehicles enough with the Dumper
and you'll see it happen, too.)

Mule 1983-1991 Ford E-350 cube/box truck except the windows have sharp cor-
ners The box is similar to ones used by U Haul, which makes their moving trucks
by putting their various-sized, pre-fabricated boxes on GMC and Ford trucks.
The roof of this box slants down a bit from back to front over the cab. ("Vice
City" Mule and Spand Ex trucks have the same basic shape except the roof of the
box is flatter.)

NRG-500 2001 Honda NSR 500 A 1992 model is similar enough and suits the time
frame of the game. The Honda NSR 500 was used in the 500cc class of motorcycle
Grand Prix racing by Valentino Rossi to come in 2nd in 2000 and be the world
champion in 2001. The NRG-500 often has the only number he uses: 46, the racing
number of his father. "NRG" sounds like "energy" and it's also the name of a
model of scooter by Piaggio.

Oceanic See the section above on Hybrids.
PCJ-600 1992 Honda CBR 600 The headlight has a smaller, less demented-look-
ing smile than it did in "Vice City," but it still has, along with the Wayfarer,
one of the biggest smiles of any motorcycle headlight in the game, and earns its
keep the most of the two. The engine has an exhaust pipe on either side. The
only guess I have for the initials is that "PC" may come from the favored format
for clear motorcycle stunt videos since the PCJ 600 was introduced to GTA's with
"Vice City."

Packer It's like the Linerunner--a 1967-1985 Peterbilt 359/1986 onward 379
but with pairs of round headlights built into the fenders like those on a 1994
Freightliner Classic XL or Western Star 4800 (thanks DazzaJay), or 1976-1981
(range of years?) Kenworth W900, except the Packer fenders are angled in the
back more like those of a Ford LT9000 or Mack Superliner.
The 1st link shows a Peterbilt 379 with a car hauler ramp. The picture at the
2nd link doesn't have a matching truck but shows a ramp similar to the one a
Packer has. The 3rd link shows a 1990 Peterbilt (model?) car hauler.

The 1976-1981 (range of years?) Kenworth W900 is basically similar to the
Packer, and has pairs of round headlights fitted into the fronts of the fenders,
but, like the Peterbilt, the fenders and wheel wells are too round, and the Ken-
worth windshield is about the right size but should be flatter:

The next two links show a 1987 Ford LT9000 and a Mack Superliner to show the
fenders that are closer, not identical, to those on a Packer,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenworth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mack_superliner
Whichever it is, it's attached to a four or five vehicle transport trailer--a
car hauler--with a straight rigid upper ramp. It's the same as the Packer in
"Vice City," but the back of the upper ramp can now be raised and lowered (NP8
and NP2) so it can haul vehicles as well as serve as a jump ramp.
Redtier999666, of the Gamefaqs PS2 message board, wrote a post that explained
how to do something that was mentioned in an earlier post by Webdude06--how to
get an Insane Stunt bonus with a Packer. Have C.J. raise the ramp of the Packer
and back it up to a pedestrian--if they walk under the ramp, the Packer may fly.

Phoenix 1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
The separating strip was removed from between each pair of headlights, and the
optional engine hood vent was enlarged. The dividing strip between the side
windows was narrowed and made vertical, and the side windows were made more nar-
row horizontally--seen in profile, the "San Andreas" version looks like the ends
of the "Vice City" version were pushed to make the car shorter and fatter. It
has the two pairs of round brake lights of a 1961-1992, at least, Chevrolet Cor-
vette.
(C.J. can get one by failing the "San Fierro Hills" Street Race or by taking
Big Poppa's in "A Home In The Hills." You can also make one appear with the GTA
SA Control Center, X.13.c.)
A 1979 and 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and a 1980 Chevrolet Corvette are
shown at the 1st three links below.

other), the 1st time he enters any of the Police cars or a Ranger (a police ve-

have just been a glitch.) The Quadbike seats two.

RC Cam Light orange-brown clay flower pot without a bottom. It travels si-
lently like a futuristic hovercraft with the handling of an inflatable punching
toy that's weighted at the bottom and rights itself after it's hit. It has the
appearance of being mostly filled with dirt, but only if viewed from above, and
C.J. passes through it and parts of the pot to sit in it. It's round but leaves
a square shadow. C.J. opens an invisible door before he sits in it, and steers
with an invisible steering wheel. It has headlights and brake lights and passes
through other vehicles.
The name may come from the idea of surveillance gadgets hidden in ordinary
things like flowerpots (or the trophies of deer heads with red glowing eyes that
shazard pointed out are above the exit door at Palomino Creek and Blueberry Am-
mu-Nations; there's another in Toreno's ranch but the eyes don't glow).
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5015/00gta1screen1545sv.jpg
The name may also be due to it letting C.J., in the 1st person view, pass
though other vehicles to see the people inside them.
http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/4247/00gta1screen6027jm.jpg

to give it a Cadillac look. The "Vice City" Regina is the same.

The closest I found for a definition for "Regina" in Urban Dictionary are a
couple of phrases it's part of that use the word to mean a woman who thinks
they're better than they are--I cleaned that up a little. This could be symbol-
ized in the Regina with the customized Cadillac front though the rest isn't a
custom Cadillac. The name could also be due to the fact that "Volvo" sounds a
little like "vulva."

http://www.layitlow.com/members/slamn78/
Unless a better match comes along, I'm going to figure the fenders may be
meant as a sight gag to rib the 1958-1962-era Cadillac fenders. A good web site

oldest cable car lines still operating in San Francisco:

Normally, nothing stops the San Fierro trolley, so some people at the "San An-
dreas" message boards have dubbed it "the trolley of doom." At one link given
below, a screenshot shows a car stuck sideways in the back car of a two car
trolley. A better example of that is near the end of the "San Andreas" stunt
video by Gotups and Buzzsaw called "Synergy": they somehow got a Packer stuck
sideways in there to wreak havoc down the street.

Savannah 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne or Bel Air (an Impala would have two sets of
three brake lights). As with the Blade, all I have for the shape of the plate
around the brake lights is that it's a bit like the shape on the back end of a
1963 Chevrolet Biscayne or Bel Air (a 1963 Biscayne is shown at the 5th link be-
low).

Sweeper I haven't found a real good match for it. It's really more of an en-
closed compact ride on litter vacuum sweeper made to handle a small neighbor-
hood, beach, or park. The sloped front reminds me a little of the front of an
Elgin Pelican, a big street sweeper I'm more familiar with.
A Madvac 231D, Scarab Minor, Schmidt Classic, Johnston 5000 compact, and Elgin
Crosswind, just given as basic examples of a compact sweeper truck, are shown at
the 1st five links below. An Elgin Pelican is shown at the sixth link.

Tahoma 1990 (range of years?) Chevrolet Caprice Brougham with a flattened
1981-1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo back end. The Monte Carlo is also better for
the front end in the pictures I found for not having parking lights on the front
corners (Just a related note: Hotring Racer B is mostly a 1986 Monte Carlo Aero
Coupe Notchback.)
The 1st six links below show two pictures of a 1981 Monte Carlo, two of a 1990
Chevrolet Caprice (to show a couple of angles I didn't find for the Brougham),
and five of a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice Brougham.

Tampa 1965-1969 Chevrolet Corvair body styling that's been made longer and
flatter--the size of the body below the cab roof seems more like that of a 1965
Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.
It's also been given a flatter front end with a six-sided grill. The grill
looks like the inside edges of the Corvair headlight plates have been reversed
for the outside edges of the Tampa grill, and it's a little smaller than the
grill of a 1965-1966 Ford Mustang. It might be a clue to a longer, flatter car
the Corvair is a blend with, and it just be there to throw people off when they
try to guess the real car comparison for it--I haven't seen a match for it yet.
Thanks to nekkidhillbilly, reaffirmed by Gman8, at GTA Forums for the Chevro-
let Corvair tip.
A 1965 Chevrolet Corvair, a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, and a 1965 Ford
Mustang are shown at the links below.

Taxi It's a 1984-1986 Holden VK Commodore, or some other variety of Holden
Commodore, except without a slant to the grill and with a smaller triangular
rear side window. The grill is more like the one on a 1990's Chevrolet Ca-
price.* (The "Vice City" Taxi was a Ford LTD--not Crown Victoria--1983 to, at
least, 1985.) The Taxi and the Cabbie can be used for the Taxi Driver mission,
III.9.
The 1st time C.J. enters a Taxi or Cabbie he gets $12 (as Tommy did in "Vice
City").
Thanks to the Real Life Car List by Hamish Duncan, aka FORDSUCK, for the 1989
Holden VR Commodore tip.

Tornado 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Thanks again to FORDSUCK for noticing the
grill, with a couple of projections, is like the one on a 1957 Chevy Bel Air
(shown at the 3rd link). The front of the front bumper is shaped more like the
one on a 1957 Plymouth Savoy, Belvedere, or Fury (a Savoy is shown at the 4th

Towtruck 1982-1986 Ford F550 (F450?) tow truck, aka a wrecker, without the
horizontal bars on the grill The F550 has a thicker engine area than the hand-
ful with lower numbers in the F series, so the back of the engine hood and bot-
tom of the windshield is higher, so they're higher than the bottoms of the side
windows. At the third link below, the Holmes unit on the back of the F350 looks
similar except for the back of the top of it. (For the "holmes wrecker" that
wants to wreck it with a truck, I guess.) It has bumpers that began appearing
in the later 1980's.
I had a hard time finding an F550 for the time period, let alone one that's a
wrecker, on the Internet, so you'll have to imagine it pieced together from what
I could find.
The 1st three links below show a 1985 (F550?) truck, then a 1999 F550 (too re-
cent, styled differently, but you can see it's moosier), then a 1988 Ford F450
wrecker (too recent, so the style is a bit wrong; it looks like it has a Holmes
wrecker), then a (year?) Ford F350 with a Holmes wrecker.

Tractor 1965-1971 (?) Ford 2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000 (?) tractor This Ford
tractor was part of a product line that extend by 1000's from 2000 to 9000 and
ran from 1965-1975 (see the history of it at the 3rd link below). In the range
of it I 1st listed, some matched the headlights (built into the front instead of
on either side of it), the body over the front sides of the motor, and fenders,
but I didn't find all of that with as slim a body covering along the top of the
sides.
A couple of Ford 2000's, the 1st from 1970 and the 2nd from an unidentified
year, are shown at the 1st two links below.

It's the same truck as the Yankee, and both are the same as the same-name trucks
in "Vice City." For more about this model, a 9th generation (1992-1996) F
series truck, appearing in the time period of that game, 1986, see "Yankee."

Tug Baggage tractor. As with the Baggage, there are a lot of similar-looking
models but I couldn't find an exact match. The one shown at the web address
given below, a Harlan Baggage Tow Tractor Model HTAG-30/40, basically looks like
a Tug. Although the Tug has a hitch on the back as a Baggage vehicle does, I've
yet to find anything that can be hitched to it.

A Utility Van can also be hitched to a little "STREET CLEAN" trailer, but I'm
not sure if it's in the unmodified game. So far I've only seen it by using the
GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) which calls it a "Utility Trailer."

Voodoo 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air coupe low-rider The 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne
Fleetmaster, Biscayne, and Bel Air models had two brake lights per side--the Im-
pala had three per side. The Biscayne Fleetmaster was the least expensive, with
some parts painted instead of being chrome-plated. The regular Biscayne had
less "brightwork," as the Wikipedia site describes it, than the Bel Air.
Some of the small number of Biscaynes and Bel Airs I found with the Google
search engine have been fixed up and painted, and I can't be sure which, if any,
of the Biscaynes I saw are Biscayne Fleetmasters.
The Voodoo has a chrome plate across the back that the brake lights are set
in. The Bel Air had that chrome plate or a chrome ring around the same area.
Unless all the Biscaynes I saw were Fleetmasters, it looks like the Biscayne
didn't have the chrome plate or ring.
The Voodoo doesn't have chrome-plating on the edges of the tail fins. All the
Biscaynes I found had that chrome plating on them, so the lack of it could be a
detail of a Biscayne Fleetmaster or just a detail that was left off.
The chrome stripe on each side of the Voodoo looks wider than the one on the
Bel Air and I didn't see one on a Biscayne, so it either suggests the Bel Air or
a customization.
The "Vice City" Voodoo is similar.

Thanks to reader Timo Hakala for writing to me that Rockstar designed it so
you can blow it up by shooting the license plate in the back because the gas cap
is behind the license plate on an Impala. (So I guess it's the same for a Bis-

Washington 1984(?)-1987 Lincoln Continental The body looks like a model from
the latter part of the 1982-1987 generation--more rounded. It doesn't have the
round raised section, where the spare tire goes, on the trunk. The outside
edges of the parking lights have been made vertical and the top of the grill is
a bit lower. In addition to the vertical brake lights, it has the horizontal
brake lights of a Lincoln Town Car except the middle section is replaced by a
license plate. (The "Vice City" Washington and FBI Washington have a body and
grill more like a Lincoln Continental from the 1982-1983 part of the time
range.)

Yankee 1992 Ford F800 used as a box truck
It's the same truck as the one used as a Trashmaster. The earliest matching
picture I found was from 1994, so it's probably from the F series 9th generation
(1992-1996) described in the Wikipedia article below. If so, since it appeared
in "Vice City" in a 1986 setting, it's like the Slamvan in having a real life
counterpart that appeared after the time frame of the game. (The Yankee 1st ap-
peared, and looked about like it does in "San Andreas," in "GTA III," which has
a 2001 or so time frame.)
I try to pick vehicles that appeared within the time frame of the game when I
can, but to adhere to that too strictly is impossible. Many of the vehicles,
like the Glendale, are mixtures that never appeared in that combination in any
period in real life at all. I only have a hard and fast rule that if a vehicle
has a real life counterpart, it has to appear before the game was created--af-
terward is right out...unless someone mods a Mercury to look like the Cuban
Hermes after "Vice City" comes out or such.
A couple of 1995 Ford F800s, one with a 16' box and one with an 18' box, are

I.9 Wanted Ratings
- One star causes a policeman or two to chase on foot or in one or two Police
Cars, Rangers, or HPV1000s, and attack with 9mms or Nightsticks; if C.J. is in a
boat or in the water, or flying low enough over water, travelled by boats, po-
lice may attack with a Predator or two, firing 9mm guns and the machine gun of
the Predator,
- two, the police chase and attack more aggressively,
- three, the police chase and attack with 9mm pistols and sometimes Shotguns,
roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Police cars with police men who attack
with 9mm pistols, and occasionally Shotguns, are put up, and a Police Maverick
firing a machine gun joins to chase and attack.
The police on the ground are mostly replaced for the three higher wanted rat-
ings, and the replacement for each of the three is unique to that wanted rating.
Otherwise, Predators of police still fire 9mm pistols or the machine gun of the
Predator if C.J. is in a boat or in the water, or flying low enough over water,
travelled by boats, and a Police Maverick still fires a machine gun in each
case. In addition, a Hydra that fires missiles may appear if C.J. is flying
high enough in each case.
- four, roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Enforcers with S.W.A.T.
agents who attack with Mini-SMGs are put up, and S.W.A.T. agents chase in En-
forcers, rappel from another helicopter, and attack with Mini-SMGs,
- five, roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and FBI Ranchers with FBI agents
who attack with SMGs are put up, four FBI agents per FBI Rancher chase and at-
tack with SMGs, and a News Chopper, and a second Police Maverick that attacks
with a machine gun, may appear near the Police Maverick that attacks with a ma-
chine gun, and
- six, roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Barracks with Army soldiers
who attack with M4s and Shotguns are put up, the Army soldiers chase in Barracks
and Rhinos and attack with M4s and Shotguns, and a News Chopper, and a second
Police Maverick that attacks with a machine gun, may appear near the Police Mav-
erick that attacks with a machine gun.
C.J. can get five wanted stars after "Farewell, My Love" (VI.15).
C.J. can get six wanted stars after shooting down the five Mavericks in "In-
terdiction" (VIII.3) (thanks to rubregg for the tip).
In San Fierro, social worker policemen, who tell C.J. they offer counseling
and understanding as an alternative but attack just like the other policemen,
appear among the policemen.
Thanks to Orion_SR for the extra information about what triggers the game to
create law enforcement, etc. During a one star wanted level, only one police
man on foot will chase C.J. at a time--the one that's closest to C.J.. If a
second one joins in shooting at him, the one farther away stops when they're
through with their current round of shots. They get confused someetimes,
though, as when Orion_SR had C.J. get behind a police man who didn't take up the
attack on C.J. and a second police man kept shooting the first one.
And the map has hundreds of spawn points for the appearance of law enforce-
ment, so you can remember some of them and plan C.J.'s crime spree routes ac-
cordingly.
****
One wanted star and bribes
For one star, I think having C.J. get away from a pedestrian area, get on
foot, and crouch helps end it. Otherwise, you can just have C.J. keep driving,
flying, or sailing, fast enough that the police can't bust him till the star
goes away.
Unlike "Vice City," where only one star might go away in time, I've had higher
numbers of stars do that in "San Andreas." Rusk says up to four might do that
depending on what C.J. did to get them.
A bribe gets rid of one wanted star.
Once a bribe is used, another appears in the same location in five hours of
game time (a little over five minutes) if C.J. is at least 20 feet (?) from the
spot it usually appears in at the time it can reappear.
Some airborne bribes, or ones near the ground with enough clearance around
them, can help if C.J. is flying. For the locations of the airborne bribes, see
"How to get as much done as possible before starting the main missions" (I.16).

********
Some basics for handling a wanted rating
Orion_SR gets my thanks for the tips he picked up in having C.J. make bold ex-
plorations into the off-limit areas with a four star wanted level--tips that
have good general application in having C.J. survive a high wanted level (I.16):
For a higher wanted rating, the firing at C.J. increases, and knocks down his
Armor and Health if he's on foot, so try to keep him driving. Have C.J. drive
fast enough to keep the Police from being able to bust him, but drive slow
enough to be able to brake to avoid Police cars that drive in front of him.
Have him try to drive off-road, even away from where pedestrians appear, and
cross the street in the middle of blocks instead of at intersections, as much as
possible to cause the Police to lose track of him.
If he's flying, have him fly low to the ground to try to avoid some of the
shots fired from Police Maverick helicopters. Flying low can also cause any Hy-
dras, which fire heat-seeking missiles at him, to lose track of him (as in
"N.O.E.").
C.J. gets full Armor the 1st time he gets into an Enforcer. If C.J.'s Armor
is knocked down by law enforcement, you might have him jack an Enforcer.
C.J. will probably be shot at if he's on foot or swimming when he's wanted.
Sometimes he's busted instead if he's in a vehicle that's on the ground, or a
flying vehicle hovering near the ground, when the corrupt law enforcers attack
him. Law enforcers like to ram his vehicle with their land vehicles, so it's
frequently a good evasive maneuver to have C.J. brake instead of accelerate when
that's about to happen.
********
Things that remove any number of wanted stars
Having C.J. get a vehicle a new coat of paint at a Pay 'n' Spray, Michelle's
garage, or a mod shop, having him put on a hat, shades, or clothes for torso or
legs, get a haircut, get a ride on an airline from one of the three airports to
one of the other ones, and sometimes end a mission, can get rid of any number of
wanted stars.
Having C.J. take off and put on the same torso, etc., clothes works, too, so
you can have him do that at the very start of the game when he only has one out-
fit, or later if you don't want to change his look.
According to MisterKrawk at the Gamefaqs message board, you can also cancel a
wanted level by having C.J. use the monitor at any school then just exit the
screen--it also creates good weather.
Each of the three airport airline offices (I.7.g) is available for rides when
its territory is legally available--C.J. has to make at least two territories
legally available to use the airlines for rides. Thanks to Orion_SR for telling
me that when the Badlands become legally available C.J. can get an airline ride
from Las Venturas, which clears the wanted rating he got from going there, to
Los Santos, too.
(Having C.J. get wasted or busted clears a wanted rating, too, but I don't
save the game after that. Saving the game can do it, but I don't save the game
while C.J. has wanted stars, either.)
(At the other extreme, having C.J. drive a law enforcement vehicle can make a
wanted rating last at least as long as he drives it.)
****
The Stat for how long C.J. can make a five star wanted rating last
One place to try could be the Pay 'n' Spray across from the Cluckin' Bell in S
Idlewood, Los Santos. Leave a vehicle in it so C.J. can get rid of the rating
before getting killed. A save place with a wardrobe closet that has clothes in
it will work just as well, especially one with an awning, like the Clown's Pock-
et, that also lets C.J. run for cover from helicopter fire.
Another good place is the mid-N side of Corvin Stadium in San Fierro. The low
ground between the stadium and the road the law enforcers show up on makes a
kind of moat. There's a chili dog vendor and a soft drink machine on the porch
if C.J.'s Health gets low.
****
Fun with wanted ratings
As with the last couple of GTAs, it can be fun to lead the law enforcer's ve-
hicles over Unique Jumps.
Another gimmick is to cause their vehicles to fall down slopes, such as the
side of Mount Chiliad.
Another spot like that is Fisher's Lagoon, mostly S on the beach under the
"L," in Red County. When I tried it, the law enforcement vehicles kept coming
over the guard rail of the road to the W. They couldn't handle the slope from
it very well, and they usually either tried to get back up the slope, ignoring
C.J., or slid right past the beach into the water. At that stage, I didn't see
any helicopters, for some reason. Before helicopters showed up, C.J. had little
to shoot--the biggest worry is he would die of starvation from how long he could
stand around and watch this. Then I flew him to a vehicle left in a Pay 'n'
Spray.
A similar spot you might like for C.J. if he gets a wanted rating during a
rain is an area of Chinatown with steep streets on three sides. The law en-
forcement vehicles slide back down those streets when they try to drive up to
him.
In one test I did, a police car would fly down from a roof onto the E part of
the E to W street of the N side of the "wine glass" shape of the Emerald Isle
area while C.J. drove E to W on it. It's sort of a Lemmingsmobile. Orion_SR
wrote to me that the proper place for the Police car to come from is through the
gate of the LVPD garage to the E, but there's no Z axis figure (vertical place-
ment) for the car, so it may come from the roof. (He also said pictures by GTA
Phreak and zmoonchild of the falling car are what prompted Orion_SR and pdesco-
bar to try to figure out trigger zones.)
He said a similar Police Lemmingsmobile may fly from the roof of the LV Court
House garage instead of through the gate for the same reason. The gate is N of
the NE corner of the block with "CA ANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE." If you have C.J.
drive E then S around that corner, you might see the Police car crash on the
road farther S (in the area of the garage with a Minigun).
voodoochild19's post at Gamefaqs reaffirms that if C.J. is going to use a
weapon weaker than a Rocket Launcher or Minigun to shoot down a helicopter, it's
easier if he shoots at the front of the propeller motor box on the roof.
A Hydra dogfight, dropping chaff to throw the attacking Hydras off and shoot-
ing them down with missiles, can be exciting. One gimmick which might help you
target (Spacebar) and shoot attacking Hydras is to put the thrusters of C.J.'s
Hydra in a halfway position (NP2 and NP8) so it maneuvers like a jet but goes

The off-limits area of Area 69
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/958/00gta1screen995gu9.jpg
From the start of the game till "Farewell my Love" (VI.15), having C.J. go
over the off-limits section of Area 69 causes a four star wanted level. After
that mission, it causes a five star wanted level till C.J. leaves the area, when
it drops down to four.
The fenced-in sections of Area 69 give the best reference for the off-limits
areas of it--it's a smaller area within the one surrounded by the dirt path
shown on the map and radar in the game.
The boundaries of the off limits areas are:
- W: about four feet outside the W fence, and extending straight south to a 90
degree angle with the S boundary.
- N: in the NW, straight E from the middle of the SAM missile launcher and
along the inside of the W half or so of the N fence, and a couple feet outside
the E half or so of the N fence.
- E: a couple of feet outside the E-most E fence, and extending straight S to
a 90 degree angle with the S boundary.
- S: a couple of feet outside the S-most S fence, and extending E to a 90 de-
gree angle with the E boundary, and extending W to a 90 degree angle with the W
boundary.
For more about the blind spots of the SAM sites in Area 69, see the end of
"Black Project," VIII.15.
The four SAM sites at Area 69 are active throughout the game.

The off-limits area of Easter Basin Naval Base
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7480/00gta1screen996tx8.jpg
From the start of the game till "Farewell my Love" (VI.15), going over the
off-limits area of the Easter Basin Naval Base causes a four star wanted level.
After that mission, it causes a five star wanted level till C.J. leaves the ar-
ea, when it drops down to four.
Below the SW corner is a set of steps, not indicated on the map, that lead up
E from a low pier, which is shown as a small square. The N-S border line I drew
is N of the base of the steps.
The off-limit area extends about two feet N of the entrance--from there, E to
the shore and W to about halfway along a little section of fence.
The SAM sites on the ship are only active during "Vertical Bird" (IX.2).
