Free Ride missions - continuously starting the first mission

[Dutch Legionair]

Hi Maffiosi!

Played Mafia 1 a long time ago from CDroms

Recently I purchased the Mafia Definitive Edition.

Did all the missions, but now I wan't to continue with the cab missions and the free ride missions.

Question:

I'm stuck at the first mission; Crazy horse is finished, I return to Salieri and find some new missions. Nothing to be seen on screen, but walking to the door I see 'F - go to mission'. But thats the Crazy horse mission I finished. Must be doing something wrong, but what?

Please advise me, consiglieri :-()

Hm, i didn't even know there were free ride missions on that game. Once you finish, all they let you do is replay the missions you played, or just run around doing nothing.

Oh no, it has more possiblities. Like riding a taxi; you can pick up people and drive them to locations with a time limit.
Otherwise the game would be a bit 'short', to say the least.

Yeah, after you mentioned it, i just got on the game, and there are free ride missions. Didn't even know that, but thanks for bringing it up. I'm playing it now lol. They must have added them later.

I did the Crazy Horse Mission, went back, and there was another letter to do an escort job, and so i'm doing that now.

[Dutch Legionair]

Yes, that's great! More to find out. But now I'm stuck - finding several missions but the only thing the game keeps saying is after the Betty (the first one): 'F - go to job. So, all the other letters don't give me the option to go to that mission.

Right, i'm playing this on Xbox, and haven't been on it in years (until you brought this up), and being it's been so long, idk where these areas on the letters, are. I have to drive around the area (say, Chinatown), being there's no marker on the map as to where i gotta go.

I have to just look for phone booths lol. Not a problem. I'm just glad we have these missions.

I'm having a blast getting back on this game again. But as you said, there could have been so much more. Like robbing stores, and other things.

[Dutch Legionair]

Right! But there's more help, like this page:

and

Really helpful and enlightning, but still - I don't understand why Free Ride missions (when checking in at the Salieri bar) don't continue.
All Free Ride missions should be available after finishing a Main mission. I thought I did.
Like 'Omerta'.

[After completing the first mission, additional ones will become available as you progress through the game. Missions are given by Herbert Baskerville, and completing each one awards a vehicle, weapon, or outfit.]

Still not clear to me, maybe you can help me/us further?

[Dutch Legionair]

b.t.w. I'm glad the moderator gives me/us the opportunity to go on with this topic, free of all nonsense answers you encounter on every platform.

[Dutch Legionair]

Anyone?

Each note is a location for their own phone booth. You need to use the hint on other notes to determined other ringing phone booths. (or just walk around the world and wait till you here phone ringing) That booth where you got crazy horse mission, will continue giving you that one in case you wish to replay it.

There are maps for these locations.

[Dutch Legionair]

Hi Stan, thanks.
I know the maps, but isn't it the chrono'logical' way to read the note and then chosing 'F - go to mission'. But I'll search for them and see what is possible.

EDIT: by searching for the narrative I found one mission - the one I played (The Crazy Horse). Other available missions at the moment (two in the office) still are a mystery to me. Ah, the one at the stairs Salieri bar seems to be Pennies from Hell.

[Stan]

Yes, idea is to read the note (either one by one or all of them) then go outside and find the phone booth. Only by reading the note, will the phone start ringing

By finishing crazy horse, this should unlock 10 more notes scattered around Salieries bar, upstairs, meeting room etc.

Also these don't appear on map, you need to find it. Some narratives can be bit cryptic

In case of Pennies from hell "My last partner locked himself in the vault of the Grand Imperial Bank. There is something of value on his person. Bring me his body, you can keep the rest. I'll have a car waiting outside."

Hint here is Grand imperial bank. (Moonlight mission with Paulie) Phone booth is somewhere near that place.

[Dutch Legionair]

Yes! Great tips Stan, thanks again. Found the bank, but that's hard pfffff

And this is why i suggested to use online map to give these locations, that is unless you want to find them yourself.

[Dutch Legionair]

Right, but then again not every phonebooth is active - so I'll have to work chronological, is seems.
