GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE DRIVING SCHOOL

#1 Frequent Flyer

Frequent Flyer is very easy, sit back and line up right with the ramp.

#2 Hot or Miss?

Don't drive to fast, take your time. Take the corners easy and if you're really take your time then you will have about 2 seconds left.

#3 Turn it Up!

This one is a little bit hard to do, because now there's a minimum speed. Now, although there is a minimum speed, drive slow. I would say around 70 mph and take the corners from the outside to the inside to the outside again. Like the pro's :)

SF Midterm 1

People who played the Beta already say Midterm 1 is the most difficult mission, because of one row of checkpoints. Those checkpoints under the highwayexit are a real pain in the ass. You need to drive pretty fast in the first section if you want to take enough time for the last section. There's only one good tip, practice and practice alot. Good luck and unlock the Angel Studios skin for the VW New Beetle RSi.

#4 Brake Dancing

This is just a lesson actually. Use the handbrake to make a 180 and then head to the other checkpoint. You can make a powerslide by pressing the spacebar (default).

#5 The Heat is On

Lose the cops before you cross the finishline. Make some obstacles for the cops, like pushing a trafficcar and it will stop. Squeez through the traffic, hit some trafficlights and use many shortcuts. Only then the cops will lose you and only then you can finish this mission. If they're still behind you when you are getting near the finishline and you got some 30 seconds left. Then driver a couple of times through the tunnel and over it heading back to the finishline. Or drive under the Golden gate Bridge some times and back again to the finish line. Just drive like you should never drive in real life.

#6 Bonnie & Collide

At the beginning of the test, ram the F-350 directly and then turn around and chase him towards the tunnel. Right before the tunnel entrance, do a hard left turn into the front of the F-350 and force him into the concrete barrier. This will do a lot of damage to him (he'll be smokin' white at this time). It's very hard to get the timing right. After this damage, either hit the backend of the truck constantly or hit the front and force him into a couple of building corners at intersections on straight-aways.

SF Midterm 2

This one is easy compared to Bonnie & Collide. Just do the same thing as you do in Bonnie & Collide, you got a big open area now. So you can now line up nice and hit the F-350 in his side with full speed. After you have the destroyed the F-350, drive down the big road so you will end up on the road leading right to the checkpoint. If you do this you will get two police cruisers after you. And for finishing this Midterm correct you need to lose the tail. Drive into The Hyatt and the drive towars the left of the church, you will lose the tale and got enough time to drive through the checkpoint. Congrats with your new Double Decker Bus custom paintjob!

#7 Keep it Clean

This one is as easy as the first SF Crashcourse mission. Nothing to tell about this one, just full speed ahead!

#8 About Face

You need to drive backwards and make a reverse 180. With Midtown Madness 2 the reverse 180 is slightly different than in NFS. Drive backwards, steer to the left/right and hold the handbrake and left/right arrowkey till you turned correct. Then all you need to do is drive through the checkpoints. I managed to get this one done with 0:57 seconds left.

#9 Straight, With Chaser

Also a piece of cake, don't drive full speed. Drive slow, but just fast enough to follow the car. The Mustang Fastback always takes perfect corners while you can take a shortcut over the grass. This one should be finished the first time you try it. Otherwise, try to read those driving lessons again?

SF Midterm 3

As the announcer says it at the start of the mission. We taught you three skills. First you need to make a reverse 180, second follow that car and third, don't scratch your paint! Just combine the tips #7, #8 and #9 above this one. Good luck and try to unlock the custom paintjob for the Mustang Fastback.

SF Final Exam

This Final Exam is just one hard mission to do. You need to combine everything you learned in your career as a San Francisco Stuntdriver. I can only say one thing, find the right line, practice a lot and don't drive to fast, but also not to slow. If you really can't finish the whole San Francisco Crashcourse then you might want to check our downloads section for a savegame.

EAST END CAB COMPANY SCHOOL

#1 London Leap

London Leap is just a warm-up mission. The only tip there is, line up right with the Tower bridge.

#2 Cutting Corners

The London Cab can handle very bad some times, especially when taking corners with high speed. That's why it's important to drive calm. Drive a couple of time to find out our way and remembering it. After that it's pretty easy.

#3 The Weaver's Tale

Another warm-up mission. Try to drive as straight as you can through the cars. You can hardly screw this one up.

London Midterm 1

Use the skills we have taught you in the San Francisco Crash Course section. Drive calm and drive a couple of times. Use the map (TAB key) for navigating and you can also zoom in by pressing the 'E' key. when you need to weave through those threes, it doesn't mind when you hit one because you will drive through it. One thing though, drive fast.

#4 The Knowledge

With this mission the announcer will tell you where to go. Now, you don't need to know every landmark in London for this, Angel Studios invented a nice little map which tells you where the next checkpoint is.

#5 Round You'll Go

Same tip as the mission before this one. Use the map good and you will finish easy. Don't worry about those traffic cars, you won't even see them.

#6 Follow That Car!

Easy to do, keep some distance from the other cabbie and drive relaxed.

London Midterm 2

First you will need to get as fast as you can to the next checkpoint. From there you will need to follow a car. Well, if you managed to pass mission 6, then this one is easy.

#7 Give Me a Brake!

Make a reverse 180 not when you cross the main road. Make the reverse 180 at that little piece of crash you see when the camera just moves to the front of the car. You will have a higher topspeed when crossing the finishline.

#8 River Dancing

This Crash Course Lesson involves precision jumping, not long jumping. You don't need to drive topspeed to make the boat. At first, learn where the boats are and at your second try it's easy. As long as you jump the right way ofcourse.

#9 Artfull Dodging

Again an easy mission. You don't need to lose the tail, you can finish this mission by finishing in time. Just the pedal to the metal. Also, if you use the Disable Timer cheat, you can have a fun "Destruction Derby" game.

London Midterm 3

Midterm 3 and the Final Exam of the London Cabbie Crash Course are very hard to do. I never managed to get passed these missions. So my only tip is, keep trying and remind the route you will need to take.

London Final Exam

Everything is easy, except for jumping those boats. Keep trying and you just might be a little lucky.
