Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[Pedinhuh]

Hydra can climb vertically after update.

It always could, but it would go very slow until stalling.

 

So I assume they buffed it?

What about the Lazer?

[Pedinhuh]

Another find:

 

If your aircraft can drop bombs, then you can now have autopilot

 

-Fly up to a safe altitude, I recommend at least 1500 ft;

-Open the bombs tray;

-Press O on PS4;

-Camera will change to bird's-eye view, the airplane will maintain a stable altitude and speed, while flying in a straight line and compensate for ground elevations when needed.

Oh, they did. It's pretty fast climber now. I can't actually say anything about Lazer, since I'm not a regular customer. It's going to change though.

You can air drop your sourced smuggling cargo on the roof of your hangar if you don't feel like landing to your aircraft in the corona.

 

Quite handy if you're on a pinch or your aircrafts sucks to land(LF-22 Starling, Tula, Mongul...)

Looks like the CEO Buzzard now spawns with tinted side windows.

[Parth13]

You can keep any supply mission aircraft if you land it in the yellow corona, but it will only stay there if you don't start another supply mission, you can also go inside your hanger and comeback and it will still be there right in front of the hanger door, so move it from there,
I've done 2 headhunter with the Hunter and also got to try Seabreeze and Molotok after the supply missions.

 

 

Edit:- Okay, i was using the Hunter for a while now but had one pegasus aircraft left to store in the hangar,
I had my Personal savage outside and the hunter parked nearby it (also outside), called the pegasus and requested the Valkyrie and walked there to get it (I relocated to FZ), flew back and the hunter was gone,

so one of the 2 things happened, either the aircraft gets despawned if you go far from it, or it gets despawned if you call a pegasus vehicle and go into distance.

 

Damn Another Edit:- Okay, the Hunter and all the other vehicles that i got to fly were somehow glitched, because just now i finished a mission with Unarmed buzzard and it's engine was destroyed when i got out of the hangar.

i nearly think this is a bug. what the rotors over that window. it looks alike, the window is FLOATING over them. a texture or clipping error, or whatever...

[Plage]

All CEO vehicles have tainted windows now.

[Pedinhuh]

All CEO vehicles have tainted windows now.

Yep, I own almost all of them except the Brickade, SuperVolito and now the Havok.

 

They all look great in their "murdered out" look with the tinted windows.

[mrfonzius]

Oh I thought except the Buzzard others had that already before SR.

I finally figured out how to open car windows without breaking them you just have to show the middlefinger in 3rd person to the left side of the car and voila it`s open.

[Verstappen]

Sometimes when its broken and you do that the window goes away too. I sometimes just do that to not have a broken window.

[bulldog385]

Anyone else had these matte green?? regular Canis Mesas spawn on the side of their Zancudo hangers yet?

 

 

seen this one a couple days ago, but havent checked for one since then.

So testing out my new low level clearance, I find out that entering the small bunker with the underground elevator results in an instant 4 stars.

[StandardDonkey]

Modding an aircraft in your hangar counts for "mod any car at a mod shop" daily objective

Oh? I haven't saw one of those yet.

 

Looks great.

[joel15cat]

OK: Players who have a hangar at Fort Zancudo will not get stars unless they do anything illegal, such as stealing a Lazer (two stars)

 

BUT: if you go beyond the metal detector of the control tower or you enter in the mechanical woorkshop (which added with the Heists Update) you will get 4 stars.

Yep, although there's no obvious spawn pattern. They appear next to each purchasable Zancudo hangar, in both roofed and open top versions (with randomly generated interior trash), and are Matte Foliage Green with Silver pearlescent. LSIA hangars get a similar spawn, only with Vapid Speedos in Utility Off White. Both are storable.

 

[Kyoto]

If you own the living quarters in your hangar, you can run the "start recording" feat while you're sleeping + exiting bed.

 

This doesn't work for any other properties.

[Amy Vinewood]

just confirmed that even a flare from flaregun can divert the locked missiles

tested from altruist resupply (some of the cultists use flaregun)

 

which means that any aircraft that lets passenger use flaregun isn't bad idea after all

 

I was playing a contact mission and shooting flares, and my friend was spamming missiles from a savage.

I got a good video of it happening, you can see those missiles really love flares now

You get a 4 star wanted level if you walk past the metal detectors inside the AC tower on Fort Zancudo.

 

Even if you have clearance to roam around there.

 

There's a section of FZ I got a four-star level at, despite never firing a shot. It's the front entrance, and once you hit the gate, make a right and you'll see an open garage door. I'd never seen it before, so I waltzed right in and was bombarded with personnel, guns drawn. A bit odd.

[TinMadDog]

Apparently, it's possible to disable the boost thingy for the stunt set vehicle cargo mission by making the car move slightly - ramming it for example.

I'll try it later. Dunno why R* has not yet implemented a "lock pick" function.

Now if only it was possible to get a car past the guards unnoticed I could finally do the Vinewood sign stunt one without damage.

For the Vinewood sign stunt I just shoot the guards. I use Cargobob to lift the vihicle and since the stunt is located at a high place, you can quickly gain more heigh and make a beeline to your warehouse with 0 damage.

i did this source without damage, kill the guards and use a cargobob.

and voila no damage

but when you wanna do the stunt, then use the creator to place the ramp and use the rocket voltic

or you use a trainer on PC

[whywontyoulisten]

If you rob the tattoo parlour in Chumash Plaza, the Suburban and Ammu-nation also close.

[Arrows to Athens]

In the mission Cleaning the Cat House, you can use the ramp in front of the apartment complex to land on top of the roof with your car, and Amy, the girl you're supposed to be rescuing, will walk all the way to your car. If you land it, she will go all the way up. If you hit the rooftop, but then fall off, which happened in my case, she will go out of her way to walk all the down and get in. In my case, she teleported into my car once she made it down, for whatever reason. I knew you could do this with a helicopter by landing it on the roof, but I never thought of using a car, and it's much quicker.

I feel like I've seen this before, but it was fun to revisit! Thanks for pointing it out again! There's a lot of external components to this game, like iFruit app, websites, Social Club, etc.
