Quick question for fellow Vice City mobsters

I’ve acquired the Hunter helicopter and have been trying to use it to pass the vigilante missions. I’ve been doing pretty well - on my latest attempt I got to level 11 before the blasted thing blew up on me.

Anyway, I was poking around online, and ran across an FAQ somewhere that said that the Hunter has an “auto-aim” function on its weapons that makes the vigilante missions ridiculously easy. Well, color me stupid, because if this function exists, I can’t find it. Can anyone point me at the right buttons?

Auto aim? I didn’t know about that! (if i didn’t have a japanese test tomorrow that i am on break for studying for now i’d load up VC again!)

If you haven’t beaten the vig missions, i suggest getting a tank and heading to the airport runways, eventually they will keep showing up there, and when two cars appear there and a third elsewhere, the third one will dissappear after a few second while you are moving away from it. I got to level 37 that way before i destroyed the tank.

Well, I just managed to pass them all on my lonesome, with no auto-aiming or nothin’. I’d still like to know.

And, Tars, I’ve heard that advice before, and I’ve tried it, but the criminals that pop up are often outside of the airport. In fact, this last time I did it, I started over the beach on the first island, and gradually migrated over to the airport on the second island, and finally ended up over by Phil’s Place by level 12. How do you ensure that the criminals show up where you want them?

Smeghead, when I was playing with the Hunter it seemed like the minigun kind of targeted itself if you were low enough to the ground. I was never able to aim at exactly what I wanted, but it ususally found the right thing to shoot if you were close enough.

I’m having problems now getting 100% (damn paramedic missions). Only 43 packages left!

Yeah, the minigun autoaims as long as you are close enough to the target.

after i was at level 12, we ended up in the airport (i started out on the other island also) and they keep showing up in the south runway circling the tracts. I got to level 25 before i destroyed the tank. (leaping from a flaming tank going 60 mph? It’s what i live for!)
