    Get a helo and drop out to land on the upper level of the statue. You can walk in one of the doors and up a ladder to find.....?

    Where's the helo?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    If you get on free roam there is 4 at the airport, there's one on the docks, and just about any other heli pad.
    I don't know if they're there on story or not..

    I'm loving the game, best GTA so far. However, anyone else finding it difficult to see what the hell's going on at night? I have a really nice TV and I have the brightness jacked in both the game settings and on the TV itself. I'll be damned if I can find shit in the dark. Maybe I just need to sleep the night away!

    Getting drunk is awesome. Last night I shot all the bouncers in the Strip Club. They f'ed with the wrong dude :)

    Do you have a PS3 or 360? *Assuming you have a HDTV*
    I ask because on my PS3 I had my HDMI settings to "Full" rather than "Limited". This really makes darks darker and brights brighter. On most games it makes everything extra sharp and crisp! When I first started playing under "Full" it was damn near impossible to see at night and in dark areas. After reading some advice online it was suggested that you switch to "Limited". Sure enough, I did that and BOOM! I can see at night. It really helps a lot and it doesn't really effect the graphics at all. I still leave "Super White" enabled and it's pretty much perfect.
    Try this before you adjust the brightness on the game or your TV because that can alter the rest of the game (bright areas, overall graphics, etc.).
    Mine is perfect right now.

    Oh, so I've been playing that last two nights and I have to say this game is getting better and better the more I get into it.

    I played online for the first time last night too and it was a blast!
    I played mostly "Cops and Crooks" and had a great time.

    One thing I will say is that I'm pretty sure I'm one of the best drivers online. LOL
    Seriously, nobody can drive worth shit on there! Whenever I was in a gunner postion I can't tell you how many times I wish I could push the guy over and drive myself. They'd run into shit, spin out, crash into random cars, flip the cop car over...grrrr! I even had a couple people say "Wow, dude you are a good driver." So I don't know if I'm really good, or everyone else is just bad.

    hahaha, I found the same thing for the coop stuff I was playing last night

    ahhhhhhh I will try this when I get home...I went into a warehouse and couldn't see shit. all the sudden my health started dropping. I will switch to limited tonight.
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Yeah, I'm almost certain it will help.
    I left my "Super White" on and it's great, but if it's still too dark on your TV, try turning this off too.

    I will try this later tonight. I have a PS3. I really hate messing with the TV settings because I have them tweaked just right for watching everything else. And yeah, it's HD. Panasonic 50" plasma :)

    Thanks for the advice, I hope it works out for me.

    It's pretty much the most graphic/violent game ever made. Let's see, you can have sex with hookers, your girlfriends, get wasted, kill anyone anytime in any way you can imagine, steal their money, go to a strip club and get lap dances, and there's more than the occasional swear word. It's part of the vocabulary.

    Just a warning :)

    Yeah, I'm the exact same way. My TV is setup exactly how I want it. I don't mind adjust the PS3 as it takes two seconds and it worked great.

    Hope it works for you.

    Also, we gotta get some board people online and play!!!
