Those of you who bought the golden aircraft

[ash-274]

Is it true that you can't go passive in the golden aircrafts?

On old-gen that's true as that's always been the case with all vehicles.

I'm pretty sure you can on new-gen and PC.

Savage and Hydra weren't even worth their prices.

Why R* dont put a npc pilot went you buy it

That's what should have been the case. Have it spawn like other helicopters but with a Merryweather pilot (who keeps his stupid mouth shut) and will fly you to the marker like the existing Merryweather Maverick does.

It might have taken effort on Rockstar's part to program how the jet would work, but the hard part of the helicopter's programming already exists. Have the "Swift Deluxe" option in a player's Pegasus list and if that is chosen and followup option of "With Pilot" or "Without Pilot". If you choose "With" then when you get in and have a destination marker on the map, the pilot will take off without waiting for any other passengers. If you choose "Without" then you can fly it yourself or another player can fly it.

I would actually consider buying one for fun if the Swift had a pilot.

 

Edit: Thinking about it some more, it should also replace the Merryweather Maverick if you call for one. Make up any reason you want for how that's the case, story-wise.

 

Now, if they offered a "Deluxe" Buzzard (since they already have a HD skin for that from BoGT) I would probably buy it. Raining rockets on helpless bystanders while flying-under-the-influence is on my bucket list.

 

Savage and Hydra weren't even worth their prices.

I'm not unhappy I bought the Hydra (despite it being overpriced). The advantages it offers, when used correctly, made it worthwhile for me. Only for one character of mine, though. I didn't buy it during half-price for my other character, because I can get a Lazer with Lester's Blind Eye 300+ times for that price and I don't use that character much, anyway.

@Ash-274 On next gen it disables the passive mode completely.

 

NPC pilots would be awesome! Mayve add an ability to have the luxor deluxe circle around the map or land at an airfield.

 

NPC pilots can land aircraft.

[The Gator]

Do you still use them?

Do you even remotely regret your purchase?

 

-Yes

Of course they'll land you right into the Gang Attack at Sandy Shores

That could be an option once you take off: "Orbit Target Area" or "Land at Nearest Airfield to target"

[Miss Malevolent]

I'll buy them when I can get rid of my current swift and luxor.

 

Or if they get the half off treatment. Can't pass up a deal. However, I'd still think about it.

I would buy a Luxor Deluxe if we had the option to drink champagne on last gen.

 

We have the interior, just not the animation.

 

To get inside of the interior have a friend as a pilot and HOLD [enter button] and then press [cinematic button]. You will now enter first person view and be able to look through the window.

 

MAYBE we get that added to last gen since consoles got the LAB station and now current gen is getting the Rockstar Editor.

PC now doesn't have any exclusives so the same might happen with the Luxor Deluxe.

[Van_Hellsing]

Smoking cigars and drinking champaign becomes boring. On my rise to criminal mastermind I had to make a feeew sacrifices. Like long term friendships. But anything in LS can be bought.

 

We need hookers. Good looking ones, not those Meth heads.

 

 

Not for the sex service, just to party. R* is advertising the Rent-a-friend services on the radio.

Can someone verify that? Can you go passive in the golden Swift on the PS4?

[Virtual Pancake]

I have both, but I also have 85m+ so no, I don't regret purchasing them, and they also get used quite frequently, whether it be for me or someone else who wishes to fly it.

I'm pretty sure last gen is not getting the animations because they would be too complex for last gen + they would need to make textures for the cigars and champagne glasses

[SoDank_ItPainsMe]

When they came out I had many millions of money and did not buy this useless 10m flying coffin plane because it will waste space scrolling in my Pegasus list, however I did buy the 5m Swift because it is actully faster than the other Swift and the fastest helicopter AFAIK, so I considered it worth it but only because I had so much money.

 

If i was not rich I would NEVER buy this gold swift over the original one, IMO the black one looks better.

There are already wine glasses (with animations) in old-gen Online. Is the cigar animation different in movements than the cigarette animation?

[Shadowfennekin]

I still haven't bought one. And why should I after the 50% sales. Whose to say the day I buy one my usual sh*tty luck doesn't come to bite me in the ass with a "50% sale on ALL aircraft"? I may have 31 million but I'm not throwing it away

 

Plus Passive is disabled. I know you can do the "Park T20s" trick, I do that with regular aircraft and bail at the last second at the marina pad a lot as it's fun getting jet greifers big bills but flying is still not safe.

[Giantsgiants]

Honestly, if I was still on last gen, I still would have bought them. The main purpose of these aircraft is to show you have money and status and to make your fellow GTA Online players jealous.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm so jealous as I watch your golden coffin explode and slowly careen into the earth.

I was gonna buy it but as I'm on 360 it's pointless. You can't drink at the back or w/e and that's all that makes it somewhat worth buying.

i got no money....who even has 10m to spend on a plane.....

People who are so addicted they have no life outside gta v, people who spend a bomb on cash cards and have more money than sense, people that save up for ages, people that are bloody good at heists or people who know their way around cheats and glitches.

[JuanG12]

I was gonna buy it but as I'm on 360 it's pointless. You can't drink at the back or w/e and that's all that makes it somewhat worth buying.

Story on that:

 

I bought both and I'm on PS3. I asked for a refund, since that's the main reason I bought them. Rockstar said they would remove both and give me $15M. I was going to take a $150K loss, but I was cool with that. Rockstar gave me $15M, but only removed the Swift. I hadn't noticed till about 3 weeks ago when I spazzed out and bought every Pegasus vehicle. I told Rockstar about it on Twitter, but they said it was fine, my ticket was closed and to keep it moving.

 

TL;DR: I PAID $150K FOR THE DELUXE LUXOR!

 

I've never called for the Swift and have called for the Luxor once. It was when we had free gold paint-jobs, I wanted to take a pic of the fresh out of LSC Adder and Luxor together.

 

[Genuine]

Bought the Luxor the Luxe and did the Criminal Mastermind. Feels like I have beaten the game. Got about 40 million and there is nothing else to buy anyway.

 

The autopilot trick is funny. Somebody go sit in the pilot seat and others hang out in the back. You call a mugger on the pilot. NPC turns into a mugger, yanks the pilot out and the NPC flies off. Works with a Stretch and the Swift helicopter as well.

 

R* is really quiet lately. All free roam activities as the smuggler's plane are nuked again. Only regret is that you can not call hookers in the Luxor.

 

 

How do you get the mugger to fly off mine just sits in the cockpit without taking off

[PS-GTAIVplayer]

I bought one, but only every ride in another crew member's one. The non gold private jet always spawns in one of the hangars. Sort of pointless, but worth it for the poor people's tears,

[King Rossey]

I've got about 45 million in the bank and I'm debating on buying one until I see what is added in the next update if it turns out to be garbage then I will most likely get one and also the helicopter cause you know .. why not right?

[MrRyanMcCall]

I'm sorry guys, I gave in. Bought the gold luxor yesterday plus my 10% discount so only cost me 6.75mil and then bought the swift for a hair under 4. So both vehicles for around 10 mil ain't bad so I don't regret it. Yet.

Right now, you cannot. Hopefully it's an error on R*'s part and they allow it with the next update.

[zoso80]

The 25% off thing off on Friday got me to bite on both them.

 

2 profiles, 4 characters, just around 21 million lighter on each profile. Phew.

 

Never thought I'd do it, lol.

 

Do I regret it? Naw. Gotta spend money on SOMETHING. Been hording bucks for along time. Hell I didn't go after a T20 until I could get one at severe markdown, lol.

 

I'll buy them when I can get rid of my current swift and luxor.

[Schumy7]

Both the golden aircrafts. Not use them often but i want to have everything

[DaGambler]

Bought them both for both characters and don't regret it because I'm at the point where there's nothing left to buy. Really need some new expensive stuff or some big house in blaine county or something, even being able to buy businesses like in story mode would be cool.
