Stuck on GTA 4 - getting to little jacob in chopper?!

[GinG]

For the life of me I cannot do this, everytime I get close he hits the water and flies away and dimitri gets away!

Can anyone help please?

Cheers

Are you talking about getting into the chopper on the final mission?

I struggled on that, but you have to tap space (or A on pad) very quickly.

Yeah, you just gotta get the timing just right, i struggled with it for ages. Mainly because i would grab on to LJs chopper then once i got on it the camera angle doesnt really straighten up fast enough and i usually ended up dying or losing dimitri.

Best thing to do once you get on LJs copter press the button (cant remember which) that sorts out the camera angle and then your on your way.

Doesn't affect me but surely this should have a spoiler warning .

I had that trouble, still do from time to time in fact. Lost interest in the end.

Heh, same here. Just wouldn't climb into the damn copter. Just looks like he gets stuck in some bugged animation loop.

Surprised it's the last mission though - I think my stats only showed 80-odd percent complete.

You could search Youtube for videos of people completing the final mission, see exactly where you're going wrong.

Unless it shows someone pressing the space bar in some weird Masonic ritual type way, I don't think it will help

Tried the mission again - motorbike decided to bury itself upside down in the sand while Nico was still sat on it... I really don't think this game wants me to finish it.

Completed the game 3 times now and i never had a problem with this part

I didn't find this bit that hard to be honest. It pretty much does it for you.

Same here, did it first time, didn't know it was an issue.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's one of those framerate bugs that crops up in GTA games (e.g. in SA, there's a mission where you have to ride a motorbike up a ramp on a plane that's taking off - I found it impossible until I turned the framelimiter on. Likewise in GTA3 I found some vehicles went very slowly in reverse with a very high framerate).

I had this, its a bug, if you skip the cut scene in the stairwell just before you can't climb in the chopper. Watch the whole thing and you should be ok.

In the last mission i couldn't reach the helicopter after the jump from the boat (when tapping the jump key) and I couldn't beat the game. I try to changed the jump key from space bar to something else but didn’t work.

I have try this mission more that 50 times and still I can pull my self up to the helicopter by tapping the jump key.

I always runs with vsync on these days, so probably not it.

Will give it a try - damn silly bug though!
