I'm quite glad it was brought up in here as I'd left the session before any of this happened. If @odnomre hadn't brought this up, I wouldn't know about it. Perhaps a PM to me would avoid cluttering up this thread, but I don't really mind. At least now people know that killing crew members without permission is certainly not allowed.

In this situtation, I am glad it was brougnt here as well. However, I would hope that most disagreements can and will be taken care of in the moment. I believe that we are a rather mature bunch, and hope we show it to others in the crew. I would hate to see actions like these becoming comman place. That's all.

As far as the rules go, I would hope that we all already understand them the moment that we asked for an invite.
 
So I spent ages playing through that flight school playlist, only to realise that it's the new one that gets you the parachute bag. :grumpy:

EDIT: Aaand I just played another stupid mission identical to the one earlier, and I was so busy trying to avoid missile spam that I couldn't try to go after the guy with the target...

I hate the new playlist.

I hate missile lock. I hate people who spam missiles and then think they've got 'sick pilot skills' because one eventually hits you.

Since R* brilliantly decided not to give players a way of breaking missile locks (Like dropping flares, etc), your best bet to shake a missle is to aileron roll while holding one of your rudder buttons (L1/R1). Keep rolling until the missile detonates. If you're doing it correctly, the missile will follow you and spin behind you, and detonate close to your plane, but it won't damage your plane.

I'm terrible at flying the Lazer and I go into a panic mode where I just spiral around in the air trying to avoid missiles and just punching the button at any moment I can and hope that works. Most of the time when I have a missile coming after me I end up panicking so much I dive into the ground.
 
I'm meh at flying Lazers but when it comes to landing I suck. I try to land it like every other plane and then the plane dives straight down and less than ideal things happen.
 
Many years of flight sims on the Commodore Amiga has helped me dodge a fair few missiles. I'm pretty good at getting behind bogies, then comes the cannon :trouble:.

Don't. Stall. The. Jet! Reduce power when you're on final approach and about to land... but don't shut the engine off!

I did learn on my own recently that if you don't give any throttle or brake input the jet will just cruise. I don't know if it does that in other planes or not.
 
So, I need some advice. The wife person decided to get into my GTA online account and purchase a shark card for me. So, now I have $1.25 million and I'm not sure what to do with it.
 
I love the moment where I thought a missle had exploded a bit behind me, and that I came out of it undamaged. Only to wonder why I didn't have control over my jet anymore. The missle had blew the rear flaps off :lol: (I always fly in 1st person)

It does that in all planes. Cutting the power entirely on the Lazer will send it into a nosedive, while most other planes sort-of glide.

Go to a strip club and make it rain. :lol:

I have started using the lock-on missiles to help with engaging targets. Fire off one or two, then when they start to manoeuvre, you can get close, and bye bye Mr Badguy. Plus, if they're really crap, you might even take them out with the missiles. :lol:

The Lazer is a lot easier to stall than the other planes though. If the engine completely shuts off (i.e. stops glowing at all) then you're probably going to take a nosedive in the next half-a-second.
 
@Lister_Storm; Sorry for leaving the room! My dog decided to turn off the surge protecter that my PS3 was plugged into.

A missile lock sound and subsequent missile firing sound are pretty intimidating in their own rights. :lol:
 
What I usually end up doing when using a lazer/buzzard in combat is switch to the cannons and spam them while flying around in circles. I'm bound to hit someone..
 
Imagine an F-150 like this with camo

And a nice, mounted M2 Browning

Also, what if we could add huge flags of ALL (not just 15) countries to the side of the truck right next to the windshield, especially lesser known countries?

Why not use the Rebel? I mean, this is what it was named for.:lol:

Why don't I see more people with a granger? It carries people on the sides as well, and they said the performance was bumped, I remember someone saying it can keep up with a turismo r.
