Guess who got a hangar full and ready for this 2x event?  Somehow I knew this was coming soon.

 

I should still have my 2x bonus from the first sale post the Criminal Enterprises update, coupled with this 2x plus the permanent 3x update they did for air freight this update...Thats a 12x multiplier, a good 6 millions for a sale on a invite only session(no f*cking way I'm risking it all on a public session) before Ron's cut.

 

Problem is going to be finding help for the sale, most of the sale missions on air freight are downright unwinnable to do solo.

 

The double bonuses on first sales post CE only apply to the businesses R* improved on in that update (special cargo, biker drugs, bunker weapons & nightclub goods) but a 6x multiplier for selling air cargo is still f*cking insane lol

 

Shame that some of the source missions take forever though (who knows if the current snow will prolong that) and like you said, the sale missions aren't exactly convenient either.

Holy fark, the payouts for Air Freight Cargo this week!

 

 

 

[AUScowboy]

Air cargo in the snow is kino as sh*t, just use the mini map lol. It’s my favorite activity in the game so I’m biased, I wish they would have added two new air cargo missions with CE..

The Powersurge really is just an electric Reever… I wasn’t expecting much as most EVs are as boring in game as they are IRL, and somehow I’m still disappointed lol.

After getting multiple VI-hicles in the last few updates, and the newer guns like the Service Rifle and Precision which were seen in the leaks, it makes me wonder what else we’ve gotten from VI that we may not have figured out yet. I’m thinking the Pat Mil Spec is probably a safe bet. The Shinobi maybe. The recent Pegassi supers. There’s probably (hopefully) a bunch at this point.

they expired

 

Nah they haven't, the limited bonuses on MC Contract/VIP Work & a couple other things are the ones that expired when Drug Wars went live.

The Broadway, Eudora & Panthere from this update seem like they were taken straight from VI.

Yeah this one is likely a VI one, we haven't had a brand-new vehicle brand (Toundra) in the game for ages, gotta be some brand they're using in VI.

[AUScowboy]

neesforsuv, it means crunch has begun on VI lol

 

as for handling, it’s super simple, just revert Tuners to their day one/release day handling data and remove the rev flags and bouncing flags from the AW/AH/SSASSS cars. PC players could translate this a bit better, but just like, remove all of the flags people rightfully bitch about? They came close with CE, I really hope they listen and sort this out with the summer DLC… sadly 8th gen will likely be stuck with a bunch of ruined cars from 3 DLCs..

Air Freight is still no that much worth it solo, imo.

 

If you source from the 2 of the 3 categories that give you 12% bonus each 10 cargo stored, here's what you can get:

 

60.000 (value of cargo unit) * 10 (number of source missions) = 600.000

600.000 + 12% = 672.000

672.000 * 2 = 1.344.000

 

So 20 source missions = a bit more than 1.3 million dollars.

 

Remind that air freight source/sell missions are some of the worst and longest missions in freemode. Doing them in that damn snow/foggy weather is just making them even harder...

[Spider-Vice]

Honestly though considering how long and difficult they can be, it's a lot more worth it than before, that's for sure.

 

If you can manage to fill your hangar with one of those, and are able to sell everything, it's probably one of the best business bonus weeks for a good good while.

The bonuses on first sales post CE are a different set of non time limited bonuses.

I'm really surprised they didn't do this tbh. Especially with Ron showing up in this update, it's clear his VA is willing to voice a little bit more. I would have loved a mission involving flying to Cayo Perico to steal some cargo at the airfield. Maybe have a path on the mini map you have to follow to avoid the SAM turrets

They should be at minimum $100k a crate because of the tedious missions, especially when you can make $50k for a a 3 minute drive delivering export and Ammunation goods. The full sale number seems high until you realize it's going to take most people 8+ hours to fill because they have no help, and are worse pilots than they are drivers.

The worst part is knowing that besides the Viseris, none of those cars ever had any speed glitches due to their geometry clipping to begin with, they are all just fine without them and there's nothing busted or broken about them at all...The Tyrant might have been class breaking back when it was released, but nowadays it would just be high-tier.

 

And if Rockstar, really, really wanted to curb kerb boosting once for all, they could just implement the anti-curb boosting flags from the open wheel cars for all the other cars.

besides the Viseris

all that needs is more suspension travel and the stock tire clipping flag enabled (which also stops damaged cars doing more speed)

Sourcing and selling air cargo in the snow

I'm excited about the payout, and I like the missions, but snow...

[Crateman]

The snow is going to be live in los santos until 11th January.

Some people here Will be pissed for sure 

I just love this extended period

According to some people, we got that, it's Cayo Perico. 

More than Cayo Perico. 
 

We got a well-informed journalist in France (Chris Klippel) who talked about this map many times, and I like his content because he only gives informations when he’s sure of himself. So it’s not a fantasy to imagine it coming later. Until now he said that :

- The players know this place

- It should be bigger than Cayo Perico but of course smaller than LS (for a reason of density I guess)

- He thinks it could be released for the E&E version only.

 

So, as the idea of an expansion map is one of the only things that is exciting me in this game with cars treatment, I keep an eye on it. And I really hope that the Drug Wars pt. 2 will be the last DLC to be supported on old-gens, so we can move on and see what happens next.

Journalists words when it comes to leaks and possible future GTA content are worthless, because they will just spit ball a bunch of nonsense without any actual basis for their arguments besides wishful thinking, or they will just talk about what the leakers have already talked about.

Man's been repeating different versions of that for what is years now honestly. He has no track record lol.

 

I doubt we're seeing any significant map expansions before GTA VI Online, the game that is indeed rumoured by journalists with an actual track record (Jason Schreier) to be the game where R* wants to add maps over time. And even with that out of the picture, it makes more sense that this kind of effort is put onto GTA VI. Despite the fact that the current-gen versions of GTA V exist, I feel like cramming ye olde GTA V RAGE (despite its improvements) with too much content at once will start exhausting that version fast too.

[GTA_FAN_NL]

Played air cargo for the last two hours. A mix of fun and frustrations. 
 

Probably will play some more the coming days but never again after the current bonus ends.
 

So I would conclude the current ‘6x’ should become the default payout.

The description

“A French lightweight sports car might seem like the automotive equivalent of a slimline cigarette, but don't let that put you off: This revival of an old classic still packs a killer punch. Stripped to the bone, she'll get you from zero to sixty faster than it takes a Frenchman to try and sleep with your wife.”

You're so sure, that you haven't done any research about him. Which does not question what I say in my previous post.
 

On the other side, I totally understand your reaction, because of the amount of people who come preaching anything and everything on internet. Which is not my approach, bc I only relate informations that seem interesting, reliable, possible and I'm not 12 years old.

 

So I understand the surprise that it generates. What I don't get, beside of that, is that I give a source, and people for whom the topic of an expansion map is raising questions could document on the guy, see his work with GTA and Rockstar in general in addition of his job, but nobody does. 

 

I'm not here to recite his resume, making a cock contest and I'm very comfortable to trust him for a lot of reasons. In the end, only time will tell if this information comes to something or not

He really started when the E&E was announced. But nothing excludes that things change internally too. 
 

[Gaffa]

Reminder that sourcing Air Freight Cargo with other players allows you to acquire up to 4 [? could be 6 or 8] crates at a time. The more people in your Organisation or MC Club, the more you're able to source.

Having said this, Rockstar could perhaps give us the function for players who own the Hangar Mechanic (or something) to go off and source crates for us every 48 minutes like Lupe and her crew, and if they'd paywall it by requiring the Hangar Mechanic as an example, make the sourcing Air Freight Cargo via the Mechanic free of charge or $3750 - half the cost of Special Cargo sourcing. Just an idea.
