When I got my first Dominator, I put it in my garage and quit for the night. The next day when I went to take it to the modshop to get it insured, I got blown up by some rear end in a top hat in a jet.

The buzzard in online is the best thing ever, if you have the money it's definitely the best fun investment.
I desperately want to get the money saved up for one, but I'm 52 or 53 now and they've been spawning regularly since 45 iirc. Tonight I am going to buy a six pack of cheap Pisswasser-esque beer, youtube up the soundtrack to Top Gun, and terrorize pubbies while I cackle maniacally and shout at buildings which snuck up on me.

The trick to the buzzard (for me at least) is to go into FPS mode when you're not landing or around a lot of streetlights and buildings. If you don't hold the throttle constantly and just lean forward you can get a lot of velocity and get pretty low to the ground, while keeping a ton of control via the rudder controls.

Do strafing runs like that at about 50-100 feet off the ground and you can get a lot of kills, and for the smarter pubbies who love to backtrack on their trail to throw you off, you can turn really hard and quickly with a great degree of control by pulling hard on a rudder while you turn to on side. I an usually keep this up until I get too damaged from gunfire to risk it, or the pubby will hide in their apartment/logout, or I might just actually get lucky and kill them..! :haw:

You can do it in single player, they just have to be taxiing for takeoff. They don't spawn normally.

I think the insurance system is bugged entirely. I've had several personal cars destroyed by other players that I've had to pay to replace.

My theory is that others’ insurance premiums are paid out‐of‐pocket. Since everyone deposits their money now and drives modded cars with high premiums, it’s rare for the other guy to have enough cash on hand to pay the premium, and the game doesn’t draw from their bank account to make up the difference.

Nah, I had to pay for destroying someone's car last night despite having no money on me. I think it's tied to however much the car costs to get replaced; if it's cheap enough, they pay in full but in some cases they only cover part of it. I dunno what the boundary is for "cheap enough" though.

I've never gotten my Adder or Z Type paid for in full except for a once while farming with friends, twice somebody has paid for a small portion of it ($500 and $5000) and every other time it was inexplicably not their fault and I've had to cover the full premium. I'm talking assholes with tanks, assholes with jets, assholes with stickybombs. I've had to drop $12,500 waaaaaay too often at this point.

note the cash spent on cars

Gonna have to be single player only because there are none in multiplayer that aren't the perma-parked ones. They don't spawn and taxi on the runways, and there are never any just flying around in the sky. Airports and skies are empty except for players.

Friend of mine talked about doing this earlier today, so I assume it still works if the game hasn't been updated since then.

The ones you can't pilot seem to have something to do with all the junk piled up around them. You can't get in a plane if it's got a bunch of immovable props surrounding it, kind of like the game already knows it's boxed in and takeoff would be impossible.

There a plenty of parked 747s in singleplayer, though. There’s no need to jack a taxiing one.

Then I'm glad I finally got a crew game the other day! Even though I hosed everything up for my team mates with some terrible flying in Top Fun. I think because I use free aim I never seem to encounter crew members, despite wearing the tag since online launched.

If you're playing online, you still get crew RP even if you aren't with other crew people, you're fine. I'm moving people with more than 40K RP to representative next weekend and anyone left over I will consider for removal to let other people in.

For crew antics : Start menu > Online > "Join crew" or something. This will put you in a room with a fellow 1009'er, if you're lucky a whole roomful.

For ranking up: Play survivals and deathmatches or something, I dunno. Everybody right now is exploiting the race RP. You can easily get a half a rank in a 3 or 4 lap race. In any case, Jobs are going to get you more RP than you can gain in Free Roam

For money: Run the same high-paying missions over and over. Survivals are good if you can make it to the end (20k), but there are many easier missions with high rewards. Look out for Violent Duct, Base Invaders and Mixed Up with Coke. Alternatively, constantly rob stores and sell the higher-paying cars you can steal (Ballers, Felon GTs) though you'll make much more money running missions.

If you have super cars you can do a New Game starting glitch and then follow some certain steps to rake in hundreds of thousands per 30-40 seconds and you don't ever have to leave LSC to do it. It really is an insane glitch.

I can't seem to get this to work. I go to the XBL Games store after entering the LSC with the random car you're meant to pick off the street, and upon returning it just dumps me back into that car rather than the car I'm intending to sell-glitch.

I'm not sure you can trust the website. It says I've got 0 RP but I've put in a shitton of time with the crew as I'm sure anyone would confirm(including you :D) and the last tooltip I recall popping up said my crew rank was like 44 "Enforcer" or something.

Yeah the website shows me as having 0 RP as well, when I'm certain my crew rank has gone up a bunch of times.

I wrote a bunch of stuff about the car sale glitch and decided to delete it all just to say this:

GTA5:O is about 100x more fun when you don't worry about money anymore. If there was a guarantee that you'd get away with it, I'd suggest everyone use the car sale glitch. I think the fun I've gotten out of it is worth any character wipe or dunce cap I'll ever receive. The fact I no longer need to grind boring missions and turn this game into a job just highlights how broken the current system is anyway. I'll be double-dipping for the PC version, so it's not like my console character's gonna matter after that.

The site says you have 270K RP. It's kind of easy to tell who has played the game when their stats say play time of 8 seconds and only 9K in the bank.

Counterpoint: Missions are fun, and the only thing money is good for is fooling around in Free Roam. If you don't need to make money there's no sense in wasting time doing missions, and that's a large portion of the game. People around here have been making it sound like you're literally slaving in front of the game doing some repetitive garbage to make money. Doing Jobs for money is playing the game as intended and not God-moding yourself immediately. The car-selling glitch is, in fact, doing some repetitive garbage to make money
