I tried this for many hours still got No-thing.

Try an ice cream truck. I got this achievement a few days ago. I have the achievement on video too.

Here is my video of me getting the achievement. [4k/60]

My first crash set up the physics of the swing and the second crash is where I get launched into the air.

In that case...

Not certain, but if you just really can not get the thing to pop I would start to suspect this is yet again one of the FPS-dependent ones. That is: this old PS3/Xbox360 game needs less than 60 FPS in many contexts, and less than 30 FPS for some corner-cases. If you are not explicitly limiting FPS already, try limiting to 30 for this achievement.

To limit you can use e.g. commandline.txt as per https://steamcommunity.com/app/12210/discussions/0/3805028677407970493/ (use of course "-refreshrate 30" in this case). Or so as to possibly do also a bit more, limit to 30 via FusionFix: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix

Since I myself replayed this on not (in the context of this 2008 game) very capable hardware anyway, I'm not sure -- but by and large this game runs fine at 30 FPS, mostly fine at 60 FPS, and very regularly craps all over itself on anything significantly above. Depending on your hardware you may supposedly just be in a "FPS sour spot" insofar as being unable to grab this one.

Mind you, I doubt it -- but please report if indeed you now get it easily on 30 :steamcurious:

EDIT: Just now started up the game (am normally not on a Windows system...) and I believe to see that generally "-refreshrate 30" wil not in fact be possible via commandline.txt; that only the rates are available that you can also pick from some selectable video mode in the normal in-game settings. There's more options for limiting FPS -- but I'd then go with FusionFix.

I don't think it is possible to do the glitch at 30 fps but I haven't tested it because I run this at 4k 60 fps and achieved it with an fps of 60.

I can at least say the achievement is not inherently bugged -- I got it semi-legitimately via the linked airport method while playing at 60FPS (60Hz output mode and VSync). Was still a pain though and I give it fair chance that 30FPS would've made it better.

IT WORKED! Finally. I just have no clue how.
Just got in the car and drove to the swing.

[Yujah]

Congrats. Now best of luck with those 200 damn pigeons...

Tip: use e.g. https://www.ign.com/wikis/grand-theft-auto-4/Pigeons, set in-game vehicle density lowest, do them during in-game night only, use only a pistol save for the few for which you need a sniper, and look around before pulling the trigger. This all to forego constantly acquiring a wanted level and having to drive halfway across the damn map to shake it.

EDIT: By the way, and just in case someone else finds this thread later: also save after each 10 or so, since a deceased pigeon doesn't trigger an auto-save.

199 pigeon and one is missing.
I followed a video on youtube carefully and did everything same but in one place pigeon didnt spawn. So I am quiting this 55/55 achivement rush. leaving it 53/55. unfortunately...

Many have been where you are now... :-)

It's possible that you got the now not spawning one by accident and while not noticing it during normal gameplay, and that you have a legitimate one left. For me it was one on top of the statue of liberty, I remember.

Try going to gtasnp.com, upload your save, and on the save page click under "Save Information" on "Collectible Map", then "Pigeons". Will hopefully/probably show you an unexpected missing one.
