Anyone have a fix for the last flight school mission screwing up? Every time the instructor plane crashes at the same obstacle then blames me for his death and it's a failure.

He flies under an obstacles, catches his right win on a fence post and dies each time. :sigh:

Turn off the high detail while flying in advanced, I had the same thing happen and it's a lightpole or something that renders right in front of him causing him to crash.

Fuck you say?
Me and my buddies discovered a hilarious physics bug you can do with cargo trucks that causes their front end to flip up with alarming force, so we did what any self respecting player would do and abused the poo poo out of it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0izPGJbB0Fs&hd=1

To recreate it, drive a cargo van (Such as a Mule or Pounder) and have a friend climb onto the cabin. Gather up some speed, then tell your friend to run at the box and hop up by pressing space and watch your vehicle freak the gently caress out!

(No I don't know why the scenery spazzes out on the freeway scene :( )

The tank's armor is rather weak compared to the Insurgent's: you can destroy a tank by throwing two stickies at it whereas the Insurgent can eat like 4-5 before biting the dust. :smug:

Of course, you can still get killed by bullets through your windshield and you'll need a second player to man the gun while you drive but honestly the Insurgent is much more fun compared to the tank. I think the price is justified.

I personally use the Tank as a "gently caress you" to people I dislike however.

Huh, that's pretty crazy. Which armored vehicle is the one that has a gun you don't need a second player to fire? I was playing cat and mouse with a guy last night and I thought it was an insurgent.

It's really funny how every weapon is a one-hit kill melee weapon, except the actual melee weapons. An empty flare gun is more lethal than a hatchet to the face, makes sense.

Woah, you just wrinkled my brain!
Well I unlocked Criminal Mastermind. That, along with the All In Order and Loyalty awards on top of the heist pull netted me 12,189,000 (rounded down to the nearest thousandth).

It was all gone a half hour later. I'll tell you one thing, R* sure knows how to provide money sinks. (Doesn't help me that I'm trying to fill up garages on 2 different characters 'cos I'm an aesthetics-whore). Now I guess I just have to grind missions/Pacific Standard heists over and over.

They didn't just patch the Kuruma easy-way-out for Pacific Standard, did they? We just completed PS on Sunday for our All-In-Order and Loyalty challenges and ended up just finding a four-door that worked because every time I tried to go to my apartment and get my Kuruma, the cops would stay on me the entire time. Couldn't lose them even several blocks outside of sight radii. I don't suppose Request Personal Vehicle works on the last leg of that heist?

Finally bought the tank and.. I'm pretty disappointed. It seems it takes damage from everything, car exploding near it, splash damage from its own gun etc. It's like I'm driving on eggshells and have to be super careful which of course is a bit hard when you have the police non stop ramming their cars into it in their suicidal frenzy. Not to mention how it freaks out when the barrel of the gun touches something.

Still it's fun to get a bounty which hides the tank icon, then just wait around a corner for the white dots to fly in towards you. So many destroyed Kurumas.

I like to shoot down pubbies in Lazers and Hydras with my tank. The tank is great at doing it because the shell travels quite far before exploding, so you can usually still hit them if they're flying a fair way above.

Speaking of flying things - when did Rockstar add the ability to use sniper rifles in helicopters? I had a lot of fun earlier in a pubbies Annihilator.

Every time I see an Armored Kuruma I think to myself "Oh, time to have less fun than I was previously having". So much so that I am considering making a No Kuruma Crew just so that can play free-roam with like-minded individuals.

I spent like 4 hours last night cruising around looking for a Dubsta (not even the Dubsta 2) and was totally unsuccessful. I tried multiple SUVs to help the spawn, cruised around Rockford Hills/West Vinewood/Burton/Pillbox HIlls.... nada. I'm kind of thinking they don't even spawn unless requested by Simeon, or are super rare now, or spawn in different locations than they used to.

I've been putting together a list of vehicles to add to my rare car garage:
Dubsta (or Dubsta 2)
Western Daemon
Peyote
Phoenix

Any help upping spawn chances would be greatly appreciated tonight. I'll probably be on late, around 10pm EST if anyone feels like helping.

I like to hunt down Kuruma users when I'm bored because they always think they can't be killed, but in reality they die very easily. I had just come out of a tattoo parlor and had a pubbie driving towards me in his Kuruma, I got out my minigun and shot him dead before he got anywhere near me, stole his car and then gently nudged it into the water hazards at the golf course.

I didn't pay anything for his insurance either.

I've determined that just remote mining or rocketing a Kuruma on sight is worth the insurance penalty just so you can relentlessly hunt the owner when they respawn on foot. People will spend a surprising amount of time allowing that to happen before they finally give up by quitting the server or figuring out how to go Passive.

Doing one Fleeca heist with a good friend is not only a good excuse for laughs, drugs, alcohol and a good time for 20 minutes but it also covers like 14 or 15 kuruma insurance payouts.

6K for exploding a Kuruma isn't alot in the grand scheme of things. One mission covers four payouts and the explosives used.
