Car Stuck in Air After Jacked

[!@#%^&*]

My truck is stuck mid-flip very high up in the air after it got flipped and I used the car jack to upright it. Is there anyway to bring it back down to the ground?

You can build up to it or you could stack stuff (like lockers) on top of each other in a step sort of way to climb all the way up there. Save before you climb in case you go whoopsie and fall all the way back down. Get in the truck and it should fall back down.

In case you aren't aware yet, you should ALWAYS save before getting in a vehicle and when your're about to use the jack.

Always save the game before using the jack, if the vehicle jumps up in the air, quit and reload the game, on reload use the jack again, its worked correctly for me several times.

I'd personally rather save before I got in the vehicle in the first place. That way I can reload before it flips (especially since the jack is so buggy).

+1, this method has worked for me so far every time, i save before i use the jack and reload after launch. FYI, i drive like crap and use the jack EVERY DAY, this works.

Hello

I have observed that if you use the car jack (obtained from spawn menu +++) then the car will bounce for sure. I too had the same issue. But when i found a car jack in game and used it, no problem. So find a car jack first and then use it.

I'm thinking this is right. Tried that a few days ago cause my truck flipped and instead of reloading the save, I spawned one in to see what results I'd get. Yup, it went flying. So I reloaded the save and drove recklessly to get it to flip. Used the lootable jack and it worked just fine.

I found my car jack near the Paradise Hotel where the Pick Up Truck is so I can confirm that the issue exist with the "real" jack too.

Just got the SUV to augment the Truck, and flipped it on a pebble. Figured I would try the car jack I got from the gas station across from the motel. It Disappeared!! The whole vehicle, Gone!! Not in the air. Not on the ground. Not anywhere on the map. Had to walk back to base.

My jack is not spawned in and my truck launches. However, i have noticed that my second truck has never went into orbit yet, only my first truck. The only difference is that i have storage cabinets in the first one and roof rack with bumper and the second one has nothing?

My spawned in jack sent my truck flying too, so I suppose there really is an issue with that one. But, the looted one works fine.

With that said, did you happen to spawn in the truck that is orbiting now?

nope, one truck from the substation below the mine and the other one from the garage below the hotel. Both are painted, one green and one black.

Then it's probably the color that caused it.
