Car Cycle?

02-24-2003, 09:22 PM

Has anyone else noticed that when a certain car appears the same one appears but in different colors. Then, after a while it changes and a whole bunch of new cars appear. I remember I was looking for a motorcycle but couldn't find one so I got into a Banshee. I had no problem finding that in fact I got to choose the color considering 3 were stopped at a light one after another. Am I imagining things???

As far as I've gathered, the cars driving around depend greatly on whatyou're driving in. If you're on an Angel, you're likely to see all sorts off different bikes. If you're in a sports car, there are sports cars everywhere.

^ I was running, and I have seen this a lot. For instance, today I was walking around and I saw a white Banshee stopped at a stoplight. I was going to get it but like the colors dark blue and red better. Just my luck, behind him/her just stopped two Banshees, both those colors. After that everywhere I turned there were banshees. I am pretty sure its a cycle but I haven't found the pattern yet...

Yes, sometimes you will see billions of a certain type of car, and other times they won't be anywhere in the whole city. That's what makes those Sunshine Autos missions annoying.

Once I entered the game at the northwest corner of the western island in the place there, and I picked up the first car I saw, which happened to be some cheap car. Well, after that I saw nothing but sports cars. A few minutes later I got arrested, so I loaded the game back up, and I decided to wait until I found a sports car, but there weren't any in sight.

What annoys me, is that I look for a effin car for a hour, I find it, and two blocks to the autos, I see like, two dozen. >_<

Ha. Yeah that's annoying. Another thing is that if you steal a bus later you see about 2 buses for every street.

Upcoming improvements, new template and music! So what are you waiting for? Go post in the GTA Forum now!

That's why I always attempt to have a Cheetah or Banshee or Inferus around so that if I crash it or something there will be another one floating around somewhere.

Ok, I think I have found some sort of pattern:

The game has a whole lot of sets of cars, but each don't change. The car you are in effects the car cycle by producing those cars AND cars in that group. For instance, if you are riding on an angel, you might only see buses. I haven't found out which cars go with which yet, but if I can then any car desired can be choosen if you know the groups...
