I only started playing again recently and kept forgetting how to swim upwards, had some pretty close calls getting into a panic and almost drowning.

When i got back into playing, I had forgotten the swim controls and was doing the Humane Labs heist where you gotta swim out the tubes and almost drowned.

These are all really good stories and are bringing a lot to the thread that it was sorely lacking.

More importantly, does this new update mean we can paint buzzards and the like in a beautiful mixture of hot pink and bright purple if we have a hangar and the upgrades?

Because that's not AS important as some goon having a physical reaction to their dumb character "almost" drowning, but it's important to me.

Yes.

I made a cargobarbie, it's hot pink with a white stripe and pretty much the best thing ever.

Motor Wars would be a fun mode if there was a reason to use anything except half-track + trailer.

Every other vehicle is useless in comparison. The weapons are double useless.

A lot of the Pegasus planes only take one paint color which is pretty disappointing. I was hoping for some liveries for my Hydra, but alas no. The new planes are much better on that front but it was definitely some low effort poo poo for everything you've bought over the last 3 years.

Also, the spacebar is how you dive underwater. Learned that.

And there's a thing called "stealth mode". Who knew? (It's left Ctrl, and it's a toggle, so you don't have to wear your hand out.)

How the poo poo do you start golf? I keep going to the club during open hours and theres no circle or any place to start it

You can but you have to summon it using the Personal Aircraft, or grab it from the hangar. If you just summon the CEO or Pegasus version it'll still be stock

Shutting down business will zero out any product you have, and you stop getting charged daily costs, but noooooooooooooooooooooo can't sell the building. bonus: if you still have supply when you shut down, you should stop getting calls from LJT about the business

You can't start it if there's a freemode event going on (like "steal the most cars" or "open a parachute as late as possible"). But you should be able to start it even at night -- the hours are meaningless.

So how exactly do you select different planes in plane races? I did Burn Your Bridges earlier and everyone was in a Mallard, except the winner who was flying a Z-1 and obviously beat everyone by like 30 seconds. I couldn't select different ones. The wiki page even says it's locked to Mallards. Is this just another mod, or...?

make sure you didn't hide golf when you cleaned up the mess of icons on your minimap goonbro

if you accidentally golf off your minimap icon selection it will literally take it from the game world too :eng101:

Anybody know how much $ in sales I need in each biker biz to max the clutter in my MC clubhouse? I own all of the businesses upgraded and want to max everything out. They're currently shut down but I'm through being reasonable and want a crazy goal

I did 3 full sales of all 5 businesses and didn't see any additional clutter come in from the 2nd sale to the 3rd. I stopped at that point sensing I had max clutter.

For strength building there's a custom job that sends endless waves of clowns at you to punch. I went from 20% strength to 100% in 30-45 minutes. You'll need a second player to do the game mode. Apologies I can't recall what the name of it is

It's confusing because the controls are different if you're underwater (shift moves you forward) versus above water (WASD move you)

You can also start up a Gerald mission (so your alert level will never raise) and then go somewhere busy like the beach front and punch pedestrians for an hour.
Supposedly you can also make a deathmatch in the creator and when testing it (against NPCs) it will still level up your stats.

This is the proper way.

There's just so thing viscerally satisfying about walking down the street and belting people upside the face. The running hit is likewise deeply enjoyable.

It's fun to do in the game as well.

I was going to start a heist, but it required another person and apparently somebody had to be "lookout" and I didn't know what that involved and I didn't even know how to chat at that point so I gave up. :blush:

The game usually makes it quite clear what you're required to do in your position.

People still gently caress it up

badly

The most obvious example is the start of prison break.

Game: "okay, you're all going to completely different places"
