So I bought the mallard a while back

[Jack Reacher]

Complete waste of money. It spawns pretty much everywhere and on a mission if I call Pegasus they always spawn it in the airport, which is f*cking ages away. Utterly useless.

 

Just got a chopper to buy to fill out the hardware stat but im really not sure if I need one.

Cool story

Figured I deserved that, its just a warning for those considering buying a plane.

You must of been Quackers

They no longer spawn once you hit lv 50.

[Jack Reacher]

Well, im 54 and one spawns next to my safehouse in grapeseed.

Gotta check it out. I've been only getting Luxor planes since

Yep, Mallard spawns everywhere (I'm level 96).
Same with the Buzzard. Those two are the most useless purchases you can make.

All I bought was a Frogger. It does not spawn to me anymore, and I really like the way it looks, and I absolutely love the sound the rotor makes - kinda silent, with more bass, a bit stealthy in a way.
I also never commit suicide when exiting the Frogger as I won't run into the rear propeller

I can still get the frogger to spawn by grapeseed

I think air-vehicle spawns shouldn't automatically update as you level up but should remain the same throughout the map.

 

So hospital choppers should always be on the hospital roof, and not helicopter gunships for instance.

 

Things like Buzzards could still be available but at highly secured places only, like the military base.

 

Purchasing an air-vehicle should be expensive but then allow you to order it to a nearest spawn point but if you don't proactively order it, then the default spawns continue.

 

This way you can be high-level, own a Buzzard, but also find a cargo-bob or a Maverick depending on what you want at the time.

 

Finally I'd like to see you be able to buy a helipad for your apartment. In programming terms, at the absolute crudest level, you could activate 'helicopter' from your garage and spawn as a hovering vehicle above your apartment, in the same way that cars 'appear' outside the garage. Landing would be a vehicle entry point in the roof. It would be a crude way of doing it but fits the current system of people and vehicles teleport-spawning.

 

These are the changes I would make to air-vehicles that would be more satisfactory.

Stop hating on pegasus vehicles. They are a privilege for the elites to show our might.

man Pegasus suck, I was stuck at Paleto Bay once, ordered my Maverick, and they left it at LS hospital

 

then I run to Trevor's airstrip and steal stuff

[senormidget]

Cancelled my pre-order when I heard you can't pick up hookers in a boat.

 

Now I'll never be able to recreate boats n hoes.

Solution is two posts above.

 

...ah, no - that's your post. Four posts above then!

 

Wonder if R* will ever make these changes?
