I look forward to the racing editor so I can make a start just outside the airport, and a single ending waypoint up north, and let people figure it out for themselves. Grab a plane? A fast car? Steal a dirtbike when you reach the boonies? Everything's fair game!

So if I can save photos and access BAWSAQ that means the cloud is up right? And if my character isn't there then it's gone?

I assumed as much so I started yet another new character (but in slot 2 in case the original returns) and encountered a strange issue when I returned after a break and loaded her up.



Maybe my old male character is still alive somewhere in the cloud and has possessed my new female one? Another reload should sort out this issue.



Hmmm.



OK getting killed returns her to normal.

Survival is cool for the weapons and all (even though they only last as long as the ammo doesn't run out), but it's a really poor time/payout if you're looking for cash. We get $25,000 per Base Invaders and we got that poo poo down to like, a 2 minute science. Banking half a mil after a fairly short play session? Yes please.

Unless you know about a glitch I don't you're being a little hyperbolic here. It take 2-3 minutes just to play the cargobob back.

Off road point to point rally races on ps3 are loving dumb. No one has mics and theres no clear path to follow. The entire concept is pretty frustrating.

It should only let people with mics be the copilot, I've only done one and was lucky enough the guy had a mic.

The impromptu races from the select/back menu are amazing for this. I've done a few cross-state quick races with people before and it is exactly as you describe. Each participant just has to be near each other and I think it's only one-on-one though.

Only on missions. In free roam you still lose money, which is intended.

I don't believe this is as intended. If you die while carrying actual money, the game still deducts the money from your bank instead of the cash on hand (I had like 1800 in cash). I am pretty sure this is still bugged and not functioning correctly.

If it is functioning the way rockstar intended it's still hosed up as it's to expensive to have fun in free roam.

You aren't supposed to lose any cash on hand unless you have more than $5000. The hospital fees are a separate thing from that, whether they are an intended feature or a bug.

Seems like you were just unlucky, there are usually a couple around the base. One behind some fence just off the runway and one by a hangar.

I've seen a bug a couple of times where two copies of my personal car spawned, but the second one was locked. Happened when I was returning to free roam after doing some races.

You have to be closer to them than you'd expect for them to pop in. Like, 5 meters.

I was able to clone my car accidentally when changing the status of who is allowed to use it, but the original became locked. So they might had fixed cloning cars by making one be unusable.

I've had jets disappear while my character was on top and kicking the canopy open. Boy that was fun! Canopy opens, jet disappears, I fall, run around for a while in panic, and I get filled with lead.

Yeah that mission was a horrible pain in the rear end. The only way to do it is to know the way the guy is going to go and just ram him before he gets in a car.

Okay, well, is there any easy way to reseed cars then? Sucks when the expensive ones don't spawn.

Is "hosting" a game hosting in the sense of "all these people are relying on my lovely internet connection" or "The host gets to choose all the option"

Also, people need to get some drat headseats/mics. Its so hard to try and coordinate a group with goons when I have to use the lovely Xbox keyboard.

I've had a host leave mid game and the session continued without a problem. My internet connection is pretty bad, and I haven't heard any complaints, I host all the time.

Good times with the 1009. Sgtwheelman & another goon (hector something?) were fleeing from some random hostile up on the north east coast highway. It was the coolest thing following the chase from above (playing news copter) as I watched them throw sticky bombs at the guy. Eventually I met up with them in the northwest town & we killed the guy a bunch for spamming us with text messages.

I managed to accidentally clone my personal car by getting killed while in it, then I re-spawned right next to it and a new copy of my car spawned with me which was my new "personal car" but the car I died in was still right there, same license plate and everything and I could get in and drive it. It was pretty silly but it might have just been some glitchy cloud magic.

Not only is it a 4 door car, it is the best 4 door car. Lampadati Felon is 2nd best but the best one that isn't premium.

According to that link the Ubermacht Oracle is faster and has better acceleration than the Lampadati Felon and the Dewbauchee Exemplar. They have lower handling, but it's quite managable. It can outrun most (if not all) 2-door cars that aren't bought online. It was pretty hard to find though, and it took me a long time to find one. Once I found it, I tracked and insured it, and haven't seen any more since.
