TOPIC: Didn’t Know You Could Do This

Didn’t Know You Could Do This 24 May 2014 10:56 #29064

Before starting Missions, I’ve been driving around getting to know all the locations and routes without traffic. I also like to plunder for secrets. Starting on the Mountain map I detected two off-road paths that lead up the mountain. They were driveable but dangerously steep and had to try various vehicles with enough power. I ended up selecting the pickup. I became obsessed to see what I would find and made about 20 attempts. I soon learned a few techniques with the throttle and handbrake, but finally made it to discover a tower and a few small buildings. Then I found out latter I overlooked the “reset button”. I wasn’t disappointed however, knowing at least I done it the hard way. :cheer:

Anyone else do it without a reset and what standard vehicle have you used?

I was able to drive on this mountain all the way to the top on the 2nd try. In the first try, I used an underpowered vehicle not meant for this kind of driving. I'll post a video soon of me conquering the mountain :) . I used the UAZ Microbus (The one that looks like a Soviet era vehicle).

I've did it with the Land Crusier Prado mod as well. This should be a challenge on the forum.

Someone should create a thread on how fast you can get to the top of the mountain. Care to do the honors :cheer: ?

Very Impressive! Way to go! ;)

The military van is my favorite vehicle since I love to drive commercial trucks in real life (IRL). But in this case I kept getting stuck. I can’t recall as I write, but think there are three exits, yet getting onto the far right path by some means will take you there. In reality, the van (bus) looks to be FWD and has good clearance. From what I’ve learned in off-road driving is to keep the wheels out of the ruts. Anyway, I’m using a keyboard.

Carlotta, you should really get a steering wheel. It helps SO much.

Yeah, David, I know and come to realize it would make things much nicer. :)

I’ve been doing some research and it seems the Logitech G27 is popular. I may get one of the men to pick one up. They’ll write it off through their company’s budget and won’t cost anything. So, maybe next week I’ll take care of it.

Out of curiosity, what are some of you guys using in the form of a wheel?

If you haven't read my signature, I use a Logitech Driving Force GT. I used a keyboard up until January of this year. I have to say, it is SO much better than the keyboard. It is like the G27 but cheaper, louder, no clutch, and no shifter.
