What's the easiest way to steal a jet?

Steal a flying vehicle from Sandy Shores, preferably a vehicle you're most comfortable with. Approach Fort Zancudo as low as possible over the fence. Land close to the jets but don't block your escape. Do a 360 and pop anybody close nearby who may have a carbine. Get in the jet. You don't need the runway to take off, just from where the jet is parked and the far edge of the runway that you see. Gun it and remember to retract your gears. Fly high and escape, dodging stuff if necessary.

The bars aren't super accurate.

A sports car starts with it near maxed, and turbo with a few other upgrades can max out other care bars but their acceleration and top speeds will not be equal.

I'm shocked they removed Nitrous

I just put a mask on, robbed a store then took off the mask. Now my character has no hair... And I'm past the point where it gives you the one time chance to change your character.

Head for a barber shop and they can glue some hair on your head.

I got mine in East Los Santos near the LS Customs shop on Olympic Fwy. They're surprisingly rare, but they're also pretty quick and unique. I've yet to find another person online that drives a Futo as their main.

You may need to progress a little bit, if you haven't done very many of the story missions from Simeon/Gerald. I seem to recall it taking a few ranks/missions before all the businesses and poo poo possible became available.

Well one thing I figured out, just kinda stay in the middle of an alleyway in the city, find cover and stand still. Whoever is feeling murderous will come to the person who is standing still on the map then ice them as they approach.

I had some pretty hilarious moments come of this, including one guy who was inching a car forward trying to find me.

Honestly I'm a little sad that I have to wait until rank 45 to unlock the retro racer flares for the Futo.

Same idea, different location. Head south down the Freeway towards the base, and as the tunnel comes up, hit the hill about 15 feet to the right of the tunnel entrance. You'll ramp over the fence into the base, drive to the open hangar and get in a jet.

For those of you that want to recreate the glory of your pasty-white Northern European heritage in GTAO:

Typical, Semi-Good Looking White Guy Generator:

a)Custom Grandma and Grandpa
b)Mom's side: Grandma 1 Grandpa 1
c)Dad's side: Grandma 1 Grandpa 1
d)Put all the mom/dad resembelance sliders in the middle (doesn't really matter too much)
e)For the 'Your appearance/resembelence' slider, make sure it is nearly all the way over to the male side.

Add hair, beard, sparkly aviator glasses, and done!

Also, for anyone wondering how the 1 time character appearance change works at level 6:
a)Hit level 6+
b)Log out of game/turn xbox off
c)Next time you login you will be forced to either change your character, or keep it as is. There is no way to 'save up' your character appearance change token for a later date which kinda sucks. (Unless of course, you decide to keep your Xbox on 24/7 and never logout of GTAO at least until the servers crash.)

Secondary point: Illegal Activities affects your look, and gives you that 'Meth Addict' vibe the higher it is. The effect first appears at 7 hours of Illegal Activities, so if you want to look normal whilst getting those sweet points in Driving & Shooting, 6.5 hours is the way to go.

Also helped us that we'd picked fast cars as our starters, of course. My friend has Sentinel and I have a Schyster Fusilade.

Is the Fusilade probably the best non-premium car? I tried a Sentinel and it doesn't seem as good as in previous games.

Nobody commentated on the fact that when I made my new character, my Dad was John Marston from RDR. I could not change this.

Also, my character now has no hair after wearing a mask, and the haircut she had is locked for another 20 levels or so, will that ever come back?

I spent ages last night looking for a car to sell and could only find SUVs that sold for $3000, what are the best areas to get cars to sell to LSC?

You change it by selecting John Marston, then at the bottom right it'll give the option for 'Y - Custom Dad' which changes it back to the standard Grandparents option.

As it turns out, the most expensive apartment has a fairly mediocre view. For some reason the second most expensive has what I consider to be the best view of any apartment in the game. I have no idea why Rockstar made it this way apart from trying to troll players who *must* have the most expensive apartment just cause. Or maybe I'm crazy and the 400k apartment DOES have the best view. You be the judge:


South view, of downtown.


East view.


Further east view, including the Vinewood sign.


Bedroom.


Main living area.


Bonus pic of the modern gangster in his new apartment! I still wanna get that retwo looking car and I hope Rockstar add Tommyguns.

Now a question: I registered a custom license plate as soon as the iFruit app came out but still don't see it in game. It's not in any options at LSC either. Anyone know how I can apply it to my cars?

What level do you have to be to get the option to send Merryweather hit squads after other players, and how much does it cost? Do they keep sending them until the player dies? Can't wait to try this.

Not sure about the level but it is around 30 somewhere, maybe 31? It costs $7500 and if the squad for some reason fails to kill the player you get a refund.

Sounds like a bug, on the 360 I have delivered several cars from 1 text. Although I have seen his text disappear after returning from a job so that I'm unable to deliver the rest of the cars.

I honestly thought this was going to be an option. So there's many little houses scattered around the desert and country that would be perfect for safehouses.

More car customisation questions: are the top speed/acceleration/traction etc meters absolute across all vehicles, or relative to each car? In other words if I get a Dominator and mod it so that its speed maxes out the meters, will that have the same top speed as an Infernus or whatever?

I'd test it out myself but haven't the scratch to do so. The GTA wikis I've found so far seem pretty empty on info, too.

I use this info for vehicles and it seems to be accurate when compared to the in game bars and generally how they perform.

The B.F Injection is in online for sure, seen it several times around sandy shores. The other vehicle is a special vehicle that can't be modded in singleplayer so I'm not sure it exists online, sorry.
