This one remains blacklisted, for absolutely NO REASON!

Apparently the Thruster with chaffs isn't half bad against mk2 mouth breathers.

MK2 With Chaff is an equally good counter but be ready for getting called a cheater xD

You can shoot the limo driver...

Thx but I'd rather pierce my eyes with a fork than flying that disgusting thing.

Not a big deal, but an interesting one, IMO:

 

Anyone else notice that the once cut elevator "up/down arrow" radar/mini-map indicator was (AFAIK) used for the first time in GTA Online on the casino's helicopter landing pad?

 

Would be nice if all in-game elevators became real ones with opening/closing doors (ala the elevator inside the Ft. Zancudo tower).

 

But would still be great to see other cut content like this cropping up--keeping my fingers crossed!

The elevator inside the Penthouse is mounted sideways, so there would be a slight problem if you could see the doors opening! Discovered this when the game glitched out and ate all the walls.

 

Wish they'd add auto-land capabilities to Richards Majestic...

the Thruster has a unique hijack animation 

 

[Talisman_83]

I forgot that on level 10 of the abandoned sawmill survival, some enemies carry miniguns.

 

That was a surprise

Everything about the Thruster is unique, its just a shame that they basically made it a glorified Buzzard and then the MkII came along with minute requirements to own one and nothing unique about it and f*cked everything up.

I think that happens in every Survival. Those dudes are no joke!

^^ Gang attacks too (when you reach a certain level).

 

FWIW, it can cost around $1,500, but in certain places you can complete a gang attack just using tear gas and not fire a shot.

I finished one yesterday with my arena zr, just mowed them down.

I'll have to try that!  

 

=======================

 

I'm probably the only one who didn't now this: you can retract the Thruster's 'landing gear' (the rear legs) and it goes faster!

Also: they automatically extend when you press the exit vehicle key/button.

 

===========================================================

also..also:  you can check your daily objective streak progress in the Stats menu: go to 'Awards', then to 'General' and scroll through until you find the daily objective award.

Try also holding both shoulder buttons and using the thumbstick to stop or fly sideways

I'm on PC, I don't use a controller.

I can fly sideways, though!

What buttons do you use for controlling the Yaw in planes? Press and hold both of them together and you go into "Hover Mode"

Rudder is 'A' and 'D' and aileron is '4' and '6'.

If I remember it's the 4 and 6 that give you the sideways motion while in hover mode, maybe you also need to combine both as in using the A and 4 to skid off to the left, but I'd have to check again to be sure.

It's gotten intuitive while playing, so it seems weird that I'm not absolutely sure when I have to actually think about it.

I never knew it was possible to do the stunt I/E mission without having enemies chase you. I landed my Deluxo on the side of the ramp and the guards didn't start shooting me and then I noticed the guards have a cone of vision so I waited until one of the guards was away from the car and grabbed it and no one chased me. I was in a friendly lobby with everyone on Oppressor MK2s doing business stuff and had a nice relxing drive back to my warehouse in an X80. It was the first time I have ever driven an X80 where I wasn't being chased by OP NPCs.

Surprisingly, not even the spectators notice an unknown individual hopping into a vehicle right in front of them.

^ They don't notice a cargobob, if you do it right

Los Santos needs a Quincy ME

You can use a custom Schafter V12 in Sedan races despite it being in Sports, and it's always a massacre.

They changed that then because it wasn't possible when the car was introduced to the game.

 

However, it was always possible to use the Armored variant on the sedan races.

When doing the Ms Baker's mission when you need to intimidate a judge, if you let him escape in his car the Ramp Buggy can't flip the judge's car, even a Phantom Wedge is useless

You can shoot the tires while the car is still parked and then the judge won't enter it.

The Fame or Shame t-shirts, and probably other recent ones, have a slightly different fit to older shirts such as the "Knock Offs" and Biker-era designs.

^^ *sigh* I warned R* about pre-washing their clothing before release.

I noticed that too. It's annoying because the arcade shirts are incompatible with any jackets, at least for females.

don't mean to change the topic a bit but, anywhere to find out which T-shirts have art on the back of them? I came across someone wearing a 'Republican Space Ranger shirt that had a caption on the back.

 

Rockstar completely ruined the Statue of Happiness shirt in GTA Online by not doing this imo.
