What's wrong with handling flags?

 

I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

Maybe the flags themselves might be OK, but then again, the sole fact that only newer vehicles have them configured, making them less competetive by a huge amount in the process should be reason enough to demand readjustment.

 

Sill don't know exactly how this works though, from what i've seen, several new flags where introduced, where 2 are problematic if active at the same time:

 

- one causes the vehicle to shift up earlier

- one causes the vehicler to hit the rev-limiter longer before shifing up at all

 

And somehow, the RPM of the engine are connected to the stress of the suspension?

Do you know something the rest of us don't?

I just want a mansion, mainly because I imagine it would come with garage space.

Just got my $300k for logging in last week, looks like that is being handed out now

I'm all for adding the advanced flags to all ground vehicles if they improve them first.

 

In their current state, applying the advanced flags to all vehicles would make more harm than good.

 

In the meantime, R* could remove them from the few vehicles that have them.

 

And while we're at it, either add a downforce value to all cars or none, either add the "tyres can clip" value to all cars or none; add a higher offroad loss value to sports and super cars so those are worse at offroading than actual offroad vehicles and add proper crash deformation to all DLC vehicles.

Can you maybe perhaps think about adding molotovs to Ammunation after 5 years? You can even dripfeed them if you really want to.

Don't forget the Golf Club, Baseball Bat, Crowbar and Flares too!

*screams in PostOP* If this gets even slower it will drive backwards when climbing the hills.

It's just a typical R* move to introduce new mechanics without rebalancing existing content which is affected by it.

[AUScowboy]

If it means never being able to midrange speed boost, or "double clutch", then I'd rather see the flags removed. How about if you see somebody curb boosting, kick them from the next race? Not impossible if your not constantly playing with randos. 

 

Nothing good has come from them besides curtailing curb boosting, they absolutely ruin the way the cars feel to a day one player like me. I've sold every single car that has them.

Full heartedly agree with this. They might just have added them for typical collector's cars that were not supposed to feature in competitive context anyway.

Or they should introduce more diverse racing set ups making it possible to divide the two different "car pools" better.

Any way, I do like the handling flags from a pure "driving experience" point of view. The Swinger is fun to drive, you have to read the street and learn to actually apply the brakes once in a while.

 

-----

 

With surprisingly neat additional custom option addendums for that badge of cars (Prairie, Mamba , etc.), do we know already if this is a thing for the future, and R* will revisit more vehicles in that fashion for next DLC's drip feed? Maybe even give older aircraft more Hangar options and such? The old credo "Rockstar never improves older content" has just been broken, after all …

I wonder if those liveries for older vehicles was kept in store for a future "Midnight Club" DLC which they have now discarded...

There's still plenty of other older vehicles that could use some love

It definitely sounds like a possibility to me. And if it was true, it would be criminal of them to do: scrapping a DLC that many people have clearly asked for.

Midnight club is just around the corner. All good folks. Besides it's also a nice way to rejuvenate our car collections. Add on a hefty price tag for adding NoS to ANY

 preexisting vehicle and maybe a few other things. Barrel Mags for MK2 Rifles? Vehicle interior lighting? I dunno.

Nitrous Oxide would give GTAO a huge boost in popularity!

[Black Terminator]

Please enough with the flags on cars Rockstar. I beg you..no pleasing with you. Don't have it on the next batch of new cars in the next dlc. 

[MGgames100]

As much as I want Midnight Club styled update, I don't think it will come this year. We will get Christmas DLC and possibly something else with it, of that I'm certain, the thing is, RDR2. I actually strongly believe that update like this MIGHT steal the spotlight from RDR2, believe it or not. I think that there was a big chunk of the people that were more interested in Jester than the rest of the stuff that DLC had to offer. IF executed properly and with enough hype around it, it could have an effect similar to Heists. It's most requested update afterall. My money goes on the Christmas DLC and some kind of Throwback DLC with some either Vice City cars or GTA IV cars or both (which is in my Top 3 updates I want).

 

 

 

inb4 Midnight Club will have Jester Classic Mk2 with Rocket Boost, invisibility cloak and Hydra cannons.

It's some weird idea of balancing the game, removing curb boosting, something like that. But it doesn't work since old vehicles don't have it - old vehicles just beat the new ones, basically, and feel better to drive from what I've heard.

 

Kind of like when people say the B-11 gun is bad to be balanced, but you have the Lazer and Hydra with much better guns - meaning it's basically just outclassed by old stuff.

As much as I'd like to hold my breath for the future update(s), I have to remind myself that we haven't gotten a good DLC since I/E. I'd love to see some Midnight Club inspired update as much has anyone else, preferably with vehicles that wouldn't be your typical sports and supers, but maybe some hot hatches (VW Scirocco, Audi S2 and S3, classic Golf and Civic, etc.) and some racing classics, from rally ones (Polonez Lancia Delta Integrale, Renault Alpine) to street racing monsters (RX-7, Silvia, 180sx). And a classic, stock Comet - we already have two modern ones looking identical, and two Hot Wheels toy cars everyone rightfully hates. It's time for a normal version.

 

So when you think about it, to a degree my wishlist would make basically Cunning Stunts: Part Deux DLC, since that was a very diverse update. Preferably with some freeroam activities and a connected business.

I'm impressed how back in the day R* managed to release a DLC focused around vehicles manufactured by in-game companies with very little other models, like Obey or Emperor. Most of the time we're getting Vapids, Declasses and Benefactors almost exclusively. At least it feels like it.

I don't own any of the new cars and never will. They are all ass. Changing the old ones to that sh*t would be unacceptable. Kerb boosting is the scourge of the racing in this game though... But that wasn't the right was to deal with it.. It was however the typical Rockstar way to do things.

I doubt the Christmas update will be anything huge. It'll probably be something easy to make, like ported cars from GTA 4. Which tbh, I would prefer over some of the other ideas I've seen recently.

 

And they'll drip feed the Christmas liveries to some of the cars that didn't get them last time.

Not at all the b11 can literally out turn all aircraft except the starling and maybe the pyro, and killing ground targets the cannon works but i recomend using the barrge first then the cannon not to mention bombs, although i would like a savage mk2 and an sr71 combine with a stealth bomber cockpit and a f117 nighthawk but i doubt were getting any of those in the next dlc, im going with midnight club euros, zr350 and alot of ported gtaiv cars uranus, turismo, bobcat short version, the coquette, hakumai, df8-90, feroci, vincent, admiral pmp600, presidente and a two door chavos

If they add the hakumai and vincent i would lose my sh*t, that will complete my tuner section of the office garages, and BTW the elitas big sales could be a hint for a new hangar spaces

Hopefully, just don't put on the high hopes tho

I'm not expecting much aside from the speculated mansions; They will be adding an expensive cash cow after all. Gotta get that shark card money kiddies will want for Christmas
