We interupt this thread, to bring you more spoilers...
There are some truly horrible and desperately evil missions in this game, and they all involve planes. You will want to slaughter every person involved in the making of this game. And their families. But, you will get through them, and there are some ******* amazingly cool missions which will make you go "Yay!".

I've wiped the Ballas out. No more Ballas. All the pussy purple has turned to a Grove Street Green.
Problem is I can't do the pimping missions. I get to the tenth customer and something always goes wrong, in the way that he'll dive into my car, killing himself.

Anybody have any hints for the zero shoot down the planes mission? It's a bitch, as I think everyone is already learning.

Just keep shooting! I lost 3 out of 4 transmitters but managed it ok. Keep an eye on the direction the planes come in from using the radar as well, and don't take your finger off of the trigger-never know when you'll get that lucky shot in!
Mind you, once you get onto his next mission, you'll wish you'd never bothered!

In San Fierro, you'll encounter a character by the name of 'Zero' who you have to do missions for. The second one is called 'Supply Lines' and is fecking horrible.
Some time after that, you'll have to go through flight school in order to progress through the game-that is equally horrible.
But, as someone who has completed the all the missions and is now gunning for 100%, it's worth every bloody second.
What GTA3 tribute do you speak of? I can't remember.

The people at the company I do freelance work for now just bought San Andreas today. I brought my Playstation 2 and we hooked it up to the beamer. 3 x 1.5 meters or so is pretty nice.
They suggested I keep the game when this gig is over. I could consider their offer I guess.

Yep, you'll come back to doing turf wars later.
More than happy to impart my wisdom (stop laughing) on all things San Andreas!
Oh, and although the GTA3 tribute you're talking about is cool, there's an even better'un later on!
Oh yeah-gambling rules. I put ten grand on Shatners Bassoon at 12-1

Have you managed it, or are you still stuck in the hell that is 'Supply Lines'?

Ah...I thought you were on the next mission, which takes evil to a whole new level. My thoughts are with you during this trying time.

Zeros missions are the wankiest in a GTA game ever. It's now an established fact.

Erm, you seem to be missing the point here, which is that we are playing the English version of San Andreas, which is more difficult.
For instance, the 'Supply Lines' mission is made nearly impossible because R* send a representative round your house to break both your thumbs before you play it, and as for the final mission...well, let's just say it involves a sleep deprived monkey with...
Bah, I got nuthin'

Supply Lines:
Right, so I FINALLY kill all FIVE couriers and what does it do? Tells me I have to get home before running out of fuel!
