    The radio tower south east of Balhasur

    The radio tower south east of Baghadur. Sorry I mis spelt it on the title. [Can't change it like all forums.]

    I have tried over and over to find a way to the top on this tower. This is the one with the red curtains hanging inside.

    I thought I could swing on them to get across the gap but that doesn't work.
    I even tried a buzzer to land on the roof but it peaked out for height.
    Please help someone.

    Thanks for trying to help Butcherbird. To jump across that ten foot gap from a standing start seems impossible and I have tried a hundred times.
    I guess it is possible but I can't do it.
    I hate things like this that hold up a game.

    Okay, I was just there climbing it and I assume you're stuck at the first wide gap!?

    For me no issue to jump it since there is no height/low ceiling limit there - stand on that little longer plank for a bit more forward
    There will be a few more gaps like that further up the tower so better master that first one

    Oh, btw, you do jump with shift-button do you? (run jump)

    you can do every tower with the buzzer / helicopter ..just hop off at the right time ..in the right place .. then use fast travel after you have unlocked the tower
    go back to that first outpost you unlocked and your heli will be there

    if the buzzer flies weird line your self up to the tower ..make a hard run in and go higher .. you can hit E and hop off quick ..if your lucky you can land on every single tower ..i just did it in my 8th playthru

    and butcherbird is correct get used to the run JUMP and hit shift key .. you'll need that for the wingsuit later in the game

    Where your character is looking has an influence on how you jump. If you look level forward as you run and jump, you land lower than if you look up a bit while running and jumping.

    There seems to be a point where this influence stops working reliably, so don't expect looking straight to get you where you need to be.

    Easier way is to download the Fling trainer from gamecopyworld or megagames, and temporarily use the superjump cheat. From the side of any tower as I recall, you can make it by first jumping to the lowest roof, then the second leap gets you to the top.

    Thanks guys. Special thanks to WID99. I used the buzzer. I also flew to the far tower in the mountains and will master that too. Fell to my death a few times and turned the thing off for now.
    At last I am getting somewhere. Thanks again Butcherbird but twenty more tries didn't achieve it before succeeding in the buzzer..

    i wonder if that tower you meant was that one where you can grab the z 93 early in the game (the best sniper rifle you can get till you hit the payback mission)..but yes you can do all towers with the heli lol once ya unlock the the key to the north mission and beat it get all towers ..then you get the buzzsaw ..most powerful machine gun in the game
