XMarqstheSpot Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Figured i would start a topic for anything and everything to do with Lightning since i spend so much time chasing it in GTAV. So this topic is for the discussion of, and/or posting of pictures relating to do with GTA Lightning. Also, there is one hidden requirement to actually see Lightning strike in GTAV, this is being below a certain height. The height is just under the level of the Viewing Platform above the Hippy Camp, about 5-10 feet below i would say. Hope that helps for a rough estimate, but if you watch the sky as you climb in elevation while the Lightning weather is active then you can actually see the sky change over to where you will only see white/blue flashes in the clouds and no more Lightning bolts, once you notice it, it then becomes pretty apparent when you have crossed the line. I'll start off with a picture... Crimie 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685872-lightning-chasers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidNitrogen Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I have seen a lightning strike what I thought was the altruist camp ONE time and that was online.

XMarqstheSpot Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I have seen a lightning strike what I thought was the altruist camp ONE time and that was online. I have also seen a strike that looked as if it was actually hitting the Altruist Tower but, this was in single player.

XMarqstheSpot Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well, since either the site is deleting my posts or someone is doing it themselves... Anyways,. i got a few strikes pretty close to the Altruist Mast myself but, no real direct hits. Close though...

LiquidNitrogen Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Really the only other time I see strikes are from the LS airport out on the ocean in SP. They go pretty crazy out there.

killahmatic Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think I've only seen lightning 3 times. Actually, I've only seen it storm maybe twice. I don't mind though, I prefer a clear sky. I think RDR's storms are still the best. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685872-lightning-chasers/#findComment-1064790624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

daliakiller Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 has anyone had a chance to fly in a storm?Got a thunderstorm using cheats and tried to fly a buzzard. Somewhat it is a lot harder to control, maybe for strong winds, and i could swear it turned off a few times while flying high. Parachute didnt work too, making Trevor land softly into the city Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685872-lightning-chasers/#findComment-1064801465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XMarqstheSpot Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 So did you overlay several lightning shots to get that? Yes, i overlayed a few shots taken from the exact same spot and angle. Think i might make a GiF of it, if i can figure out how to?...

cyaninternetdog Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good idea for a thread, Im hoping one spot will have alot of pics taken of it and we can more or less say it is a prime lightning strike spot. Then we can go get hit by lightning. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/685872-lightning-chasers/#findComment-1064834725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
