SpecOp9 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Funny, I had to go for my license yesterday and one of the requirements was to parallel park. Knowing how real Flashpoint is, I practiced a few times in that until I got it perfectly every time. I just placed 2 empty cars in the editor, made myself a car also and worked from there. I used GTA also Anyway, where I live (Salem Massachusetts) the state trooper (my driver tester-guy) said 95% of the people fail the test 1st time, and 5% pass the first time, I was one of those 5% yesterday! I would think Flashpoint helped me prepare for it:) Flashpoint got me my license!! (sortof) Anyway the test was easy, took about 5 minutes to the least, parallel park, 3 point turn, backing up in a straight line, and done. Good stuff.

Gollum1 0 Posted April 13, 2004 I'm glad we have an age limit of 18 for driver's licences in Finland, I'd never go outside my house if most 16-year-olds I know would have driver's licenses, Jesus Christ! *shudders* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Hehe, I have to agree with you Gollum1. Reckless driving would get a whole new meaning But in Sweden we can start practicing for our licences at sixteen, under the supervision of an adult ofcourse. But having a licence at sixteen wouldn't be all that bad considering the insane prices on public transportation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But having a licence at sixteen wouldn't be all that bad considering the insane prices on public transportation. Public transportation is environmentally friendly compared to cars, boeh! Besides, you can use a bicycle so you get some exercise AND save the environment. Depends on the situation, of course, but it's a viable option to buses etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted April 13, 2004 Is there a Driving-license mod of OFP out there, I mean so far I noticed that there is a mod for everything. Or what about a Trabant that simulated drunk driving (I think the flying trabant is a good starting point) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceFire 0 Posted April 13, 2004 I don't see how OPF can help you train to parallel park. In parallel parking you need to use your mirrors. You can't do that in OPF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can't teach you how to park a car using mirrors, but it can teach you how to park a T-80 by slamming cars out of your way. OFP would also teach you weird things like "Don't look through the windshield, you won't be able to see trees!" I learned my driving skills with GTA III, so I suggest that people stay away.

Â You can't do that in OPF. your mirrors? lol, mirrors? Since when do you have your driving license. I simply turn entire body when I park so I have a full view of what I am doing and where I am heading!. And that even works in OFP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
