How to unlock the Not my First Time achievement in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

The mission "G-Spotlight" is the fourth and final mission for the InterGlobal Studios asset. The property is unavailable until quite far into the main story and can be purchased for $60,000 after completing "Shakedown." In the mission, you are instructed to ride a motorcycle through a series of stunt jumps across skyscrapers. If you fall, you do not fail the mission, but you do fail the achievement. You CAN fall off your bike, just don't fall to the ground below.

Unlike most of the other missable achievements, this one is not available until a significant amount of time into the game, therefore I strongly suggest you SAVE YOUR GAME before attempting this (fortunately, there is a save spot in the movie studio.) In fact, I recommend making a BACKUP SAVE in case you lose patience and want to move on with the game (don't worry, you don't need the achievement for 100% game completion.)

Here is a video guide (credit to GTA Series Videos):

Even with a guide, I still failed this half a dozen times. Just take your time. Although there is a time limit for the mission, I never found that to be a problem.

Great video! One thing I do want to point out, if you fail to make the first big jump (office building to the big square hole in the building), you'll have to reload your save. I failed that first jump, then went through the whole mission without falling off the building and I didn't get the achievement.

Can confirm that H8Bomb method works perfectly. I just used the police maverick that spawns next to the mission building.

You can always attempt the helicopter method (although one might also consider using the period and shift keys when describing it,) but you'll have to run through this course again with a bike anyhow in order to get all of the stunt jumps, in which case you won't have the advantage of the mission nav points guiding you through.

The helicopter method sounds cool, but I never would have used it knowing I needed the stunt jumps anyway. Plus I'm probably the only person who enjoyed trying to do this legit haha

It’s only 3 jumps which are easily accessible without the help of the mission blips. Doing the helicopter method will still drop the two ladders to the roofs for quick access. Not much of a set back of you ask me.

Jesus Christ man, you ever heard of punctuation? Who types out paragraphs like this? I was going to attempt the helicopter method but your explanation literally makes no sense & is impossible to read. Thanks for nothing, bruh.

I had a flawless first run and it didn’t pop. I tried reloading and using the heli method in case the game didn’t like my jumps for some reason. Still didn’t pop. I’ve tried closing the game out completely and trying again, still nothing. I’m at a loss.

@Doub1eTapped try pausing after the mission and just chilling for a minute. After the game said mission passed I waited a few seconds waiting for it to pop but it didn't. I paused the game preparing to reload my save to try again, but decided to come here and post that it also wasn't popping for me. Then as I was ready to submit, it popped. So it looks like it's just a little delayed, and I guess good thing I'm a slow typer laugh

I tried the helicopter method and didn't get the achievement so I just did it the proper way. That was simple. I got it first try. Just look before you jump so you know where you're jumping. Easy peasy.

also, before each jump back up as far from the next ramp as you can in order to get the most speed.

You can get off your bike or fall off the bike as long as you dont fall off the roof. I got off my bike to get the body armor on one of the roofs, and still got the achievement.

The helicopter method does still work for anyone curious. Unlocked today. The marker wasn't triggering at the end of the missions so I took the stairs down to ground level, stole another PCJ, drove it back up the stairs, got off and back onto the marker and the mission completed. The achievement unlocked shortly after.

Good video. Doing this mission is also required to be able to do some of the 36 unique jumps, which you can't reach without doing this mission:

This mission does have a time limit but it's quite lenient.

The rule is simple, complete the "G-Spotlight" mission (final mission of the porn studio asset) without touching the ground after smashing the glass from the office floor.

I've seen tips about using the helicopter but I feel that it's unnecessary as it's not that difficult, and you'll miss out on the unique stunt jumps on the way.

Remember to use handbreak and hold acceleration down to get a bit of a speed boost if you're unsure about getting enough of a run up.

If you screw up, you can load the most recent autosave, which will kick you back into the mission cutscene.

I got it on my second attempt, and I only failed the first because I misjudged the length of one of the jumps. After ensuring to do run ups, I was fine.

This mission is part of the Film Studios mission line. After completing the mission "Martha's Mugshot" save your game at the studio. You'll need this save in case you make a mistake during the mission.

The mission itself involves you using a sports bike to do stunt jumps across buildings. The time you have to complete this mission is very lenient so I highly recommend going to the jump spot per building, having a look at the distance you'll need to cross and then attempt the jump.

If you fall off one of the buildings simply reload the save you made after Martha's Mugshot and try again.
