I thought that was when two row trucks pulled at opposite ends of the car. But knowing R* stranger things cause the entire session to hard lock. Best on was the flying Vinewood Tours busen1125 posted:Often I found that I was going too fast on jumps and missing the perfect spot by overshooting it. A fully upgraded super is going to be too fast at top speed for a lot of them. Also I found that it didn't always require 4 wheels but it is important to hit at least 1 front and 1 back wheel and get the other 2 down very quickly after. The Sprunk stunt jump by the rooftop rumble garage I get the failed message before I even leave the ramp. geeves fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Dec 1, 2014 |

No, that just broke physics. I guess it crashed games too but the other Tow truck one was for boring trolling. All you did was tow a car and for whatever reason that would crash other players games when you came within rendering distance

The new passive mode I think is even better than before for loving with people. I've been just cruising the skies in a Maverick heli for the last couple minutes and I have had 2 tanks and 4 dudes shooting rockets at me, and not understanding why they can't hit me. They actually sort of stopped shooting each other just to try and go after me. All I want to do is watch from a nice viewpoint, ya know?

Yes, the difference between a stock car off the lot and a fully tuned car is pretty substantial. Different cars tune differently, so it's more for some cars than for others. For example the difference between a stock Sultan and a fully tuned Sultan is pretty impressive because it gets a really steep bonus from engine mods. Even just the spoiler is a really obvious change to handling on most cars.

Having Turbo and the lowered suspensions in particular are great for just driving around town/in missions let alone races. Get someone to trade wins with on a short course until you have 50 race wins and unlocked all the win-unlocked parts, and you don't have to worry about them ever again.

It's different from car to car as to how much, but yes, they do. Trading wins for Criminal Records is probably your best bet to bypass the poo poo if you don't want to do it. As a bonus you'll get some good RP out of it.

No matter how long they take to fix it, you're still going to want to be able to use it once its fixed. And that's gonna mean having like 35 race wins on your character to have it unlocked for all road vehicle classes.

There have been no release notes outside of "Fixed Online Issues" for 1.0.2/3/4. And I haven't seen anything in regards to viewing the patches that would show possible updates, like they did for snow and christmas clothing last year or new vehicle and weapon models.

I enjoy using the Dominator in the Muscle class, mostly because it's a great height to use in missions as a portable cover thing as well. But even though people say the Gauntlet is slightly better for "racing" in my experience the Dominator performs equally well. I use a Stanier for Sedans because it's quite peppy with mods on and seems to handle other people trying to bash you around in races quite well, even though it's not got the highest top speed.

Croccers posted:I wonder if the race Stunt Jump glitch still works. Pick an official race that has a stunt jump in it's circuit. Instead of finishing the race just turn around and keep hitting the Stunt Jump. The race where you drop from the elevated road near the IAA/FIB buildings to the street was the quickest one. It does. I was doing that on the same race just the other day. Knocked off 10 or so. Downtown underground is the name of the race. Set it to 1 lap and just turn around once you go over the jump and repeat. You probably won't get it every time but you can still knock them out fairly quickly.

For SUV, not out of speed, but the Declasse Granger is pretty good because it can hold 8 people. As for my compact of choice I have an Issi fully modded out which is pretty cool. I feel like there might be a better compact out of pure performance but I haven't had much issue racing other cars and winning either.

Also want to say any race run with 'catch up' on is scrub tier. If you fight your way from the back of the pack, it's not really you, it's ketchup. If you get in the lead, the governor kicks in and here comes Pitt MacNeuverston, the dick who wiped out on the first corner. Don't even get me started on slipstream, that is total bullshit. Edit: I don't want to hear any of this 'yeah, but on some races' poo poo either. No. Ketchup and slipstream are never good and you are bad if you think so.

I try to remember to turn that and catch up off for races I host. Unless it's a GTA race and you want maximum carnage (see Horse Factory) because slipstream is too overpowered. Slipstream would be good if you actually could draft with another player and actually pull away from the pack, but all it does is encourage rear-ending and pitting. geeves fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Dec 1, 2014 |

Agreed. It's totally broken, and kills your brakes too. I've only ever seen it work with hardcore F1 style players, they can actually use it to break away by working together. Usually if its an awesome stunt ramp race, or most types of serious races I play non contact. I just wanted to bitch on my soapbox about ketchup and slipstream for a sec for any new people in this thread who haven't heard it from me before

OK - this all looks pretty good. I'm not sure at all about a Sultan for sports racing; I love mine but for racing? Here's what I've got so far. I'm not putting in "other notables" for the sake of length, but those will be in the end result. Super Cars Best for racing: Zentorno Second best for racing: Entity XF Sports Cars Best for racing: Massacro Second best for racing: Elegy RH8 Muscle Cars Best for racing: Blade Second best for racing: Gauntlet/Dominator Sports Classics Best for racing: Monroe ... maybe? Second best for racing: Z-Type ... also maybe? Sedans I've got Schafter, Stanier, maybe Tailgater? No idea how to order those. Compacts Best for racing: Blista Second best for racing: Issi Coupes Best for racing: Exemplar Second best for racing: F620 SUVs Serrano, Radius, Huntley S, who knows? Off-Road Sanchez, how about a 4-wheel vehicle for comparison's sake - Sandking XL, Bifta, Dune Buggy...? Motorcycles Best for racing: Akuma Second Best: Bati 801 or 801RR

Or whatever! ALSO - Stalk whoever sells it on ingame Lifeinvader before you buy, then wait a bit to see if it actually processes. It probably won't work but you're SUPPOSED to get a one-time 10% off discount coupon when you buy from them next. Might save you some money - but definitely expect to pay the full 1.75m.

The Bifta is an incredibly good off-road vehicle I've found. The problem with Sanchez in an off-road environment is that it's a 2-wheeled vehicle where the player can be hit and knocked off the bike mid-race, which usually causes a huge time loss. A vehicle like the Bifta is small, nimble, lightweight, and has the benefit of being a car so it can endure minor taps and survive long falls (like say off Mt. Chilliad). Before the Turbo mod hosed up on new gen, I would be leaving these Level 500s with their Sanchezes in the dust with it.
