Helping Candy Escape - Keep away from the cops
(This tip pertains to the mission where you break Candy out of prison)
After you find Candy and get in the van, your destination is far down in the Cobble Hills area (which is praticuly on the other side of the map). Obviously, since you just broke Candy out of prison, the cops will be all over you. Once you get off Rikers Island, there will be a police blockade and a couple cops will chase after you. Instead of going straight to your destination, lose the cops on your tail right away and then head for the La Guardia racetrack. There may be a few cops on the streets when going there, but remember you can cut through the airport. If you still can't get past them, then hopefully you have a gun with you and you can just kill them off. Continue heading to the La Guardia racetrack. Once your there, go inside your garage and repair your van and clear it's felony (make sure you have at least $100 to do this). After that, your good to go. Doing this makes your ride to the Cobble Hills area easier as cops won't be on your tail the entire time.
Note: You must use the van in this mission, meaning you can't get in a faster car, etc.
Short FAQ on Era Change
About half way through the game, the era will switch, meaning from 1978 it will go to 2006.
When does the era change occur?
The game will go to 2006 after completing the mission entitled Ransom.
Do I get to keep my weapons and money from 1978?
No, you do NOT get to keep your money and weapons from 1978. With that said, I suggest spending all your money on goodies before doing the final mission in 1978.
Do I get to keep my cars from 1978?
Yes. Anything stored in your garage from 1978 will still be in your garage in 2006.
Are there any kind of changes between 1978 and 2006? (Slight spoiler)
Tons. Buildings will look different, characters will have different (older) appearances, the inside of buildings (like the Safe House and Ray's garages) will be completely different inside, there will be newer cars, newer weapons, and different color schemes (Map and other things).
Will you be able to go back to 1978?
Yes, after you complete the main story line.
keep the kidnapped
on the last mission before you go to the 2006 era. When you kidnapp the drug dealer on the back of your car, find a place in the city to flip the car upside down an intentionally fail the mission. Then when the mission fails, flip the car back on its wheels again and fix the car, you have a drug dealling passenger, and he will not talk so you you will not be anoyed by him.
