J's Bonds Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just purchased this aircraft only to find that you cannot retract the side door? Is it possible to do this just like during the Prison Break heist? Elsewhere, this plane looks kinda cool inside, albeit it just being the Luxor interior, and the capacity of 5 people makes it more desirable than most other light aircraft. Thoughts?

Ash'R9k. Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Why the f*ck would you buy a Velum? What's it to you ? Roleplay, appreciation of the aircraft, curiosity, etc.. There's plenty of reasons to buy one, just because you don't share them doesn't mean there's none.

iSaint9 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Velum is sh*t. Takes ages to take off and only has 5 seats. I'd take the Luxor over any 2+ passengers plane. Then maybe for 2 I'd take the Vestra. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/775486-velum-5-seater/#findComment-1067128039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingnipple Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Not sure why people feel the need to insult someone else's purchase. I'll admit when I saw it was purchaseable I wondered why someone would pay that much more for an extra seat in a rather boring aircraft compared to what else we have in the game, but I'm glad some people got use out of it. If you like it and have the money I don't see why not.

whywontyoulisten Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I bought this years ago when it was discounted and there was a distinct lack of desirable things with multimillion-dollar pricetags, but it wasn't until Smuggler's Run that I actually got to enjoy it. It may not have champagne and cigars, but it's a luxury executive aircraft that is a joy to be flown around in; you get a great view out of the windows, and passive mode is available so you don't need to worry about getting blasted by jet trolls/Oppressors. With the new paint options and four stripe colour choices, you can really create something unique; there are also 4 options under "liveries" which give you different registration numbers; it's just a shame that this clearly turboprop aircraft is lumbered with a piston engine sound.

HaIfricanHammer Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I love that plane, don't let the others bring you down chief. I bought it back when heists DLC first dropped, and that purchase gave me the achievement for 8 million spent on the new DLC.

whywontyoulisten Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Side door works all the time; the post is from 2015 so it was most likely patched.

Malibu Club Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 To me, there isn't really anything special about it's appearance. What is special about it to me? Back on old gen, I attempted to do the prison break finale at a very low level with no knowledge of heists or flying planes whatsoever. I had the misfortune of being given the pilot role. Unsurprisingly, I literally couldn't fly the Velum given to save my life. Didn't even know how to raise the landing gear, so flying it was an even bigger hassle than it had to be. I crashed it probably 25 times before one of our teammates just gave up and left. It didn't help that I couldn't even fly the Epsilon Velum in story mode a few weeks before. Over time, I not only took the time to look up how to raise the landing gear, but also even learned how to properly fly the planes in the game. From then on, every time I was given the pilot role in the prison break, I had absolutely no problems whatsoever. Now whenever I fly a Velum, I am reminded of how I came from nosediving towards a rock while struggling to gain altitude, to cursing through the clouds souring without a care. xXxKAMIKAZExXx 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/775486-velum-5-seater/#findComment-1069888568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruskiturbo Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) I always thought the 5-Seater was just a normal velum with extra seat, but after reading these short stories, I guess I was wrong. Might now have to complete PB just to get this plane with the small discount.

xwinkx_girlYakuza Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 To me the best thing about playing gta is the freedom to do anything, be anyone or buy any damn thing you couldn't in our real boring lives.. so more power to the people who knows what they like and not care about the "popular" choice.

Maybe prof suffered ass rash and needed extremely soft seats. And this luxury version is a pleasure to fly around, I enjoy it a lot when I'm on a cruising + no driving mood. I NEVER saw anyone else flying it in 2+ years of flying inn GTAO.
