I find the choppers fine, very easy to control except for the excessive wobble, the planes have the same problem at times. Just left stick full forward at all times and hold right trigger all the way down, then vary pressure as needed on the left stick to vary speed or altitude.

Oh I know, I'm able to fly them but they're no fun. There is an excessive levelling of the helicopter that you always have to fight against, you can barely roll them. If this was done to make them easy to fly, it hasn't, and they should add a toggle to allow a more realistic flight model. Older GTA games let you switch to proper pitch, roll and yaw controls from the basic set for example.

Check the police impound. If you've not done it already, purchase the garages for all characters. Cars stored there don't disappear.

Yep I've now maxed out a Adder 3 times (bought once) and I cant find a single one now

I think it occurs towards the end of the story if not after, but when you zoom in on Michael, one of the cutscenes is him dropping his wife off to do some shopping near the Ponsobys nearest the golf club. In the cutscene he opens her door to let her out before proceeding to walk around to get back into the car. Across the road there'll be a free Adder 100%.

I know there's one for Trevor near the Ammunation in Pillbox.

That's due to the RAM limitations I'd imagine, I'm sure the first GTA on next gen will be amazing.

Where is the impound? I didn't even see a police station yet, other than the same one from being arrested.. mostly killed though!

gnfnrhead · 02-10-2013 1:43pm

I don't think I bought any garages, yet I have the three?

It appears as a white car on your map. If it's not there, they don't have a car for that character.

firestarter51 · 02-10-2013 2:53pm

Every safe house had a garage for saving cars but they were going missing before the patch haven't tried them since, my Bugatti wasn't in the car impound oh well off to the spawn for another

Pillbox garage works every time no missing cars

I like stalking randomers in GTA games, in 4 they always had a job a place to eat and then home(some even cheated on their OHs). I would watch them carefully for days then murder them and follow their replacement and also murder them. All the AI had a purpose a place to go or something to do, even the gang bangers.

5 doesnt have that, the AI go in circles I have yet to find one with a purpose, even scooter buddy goes in a circle.

I dont like that

They had to sacrifice some in order to have such a large map etc. I doubt many even noticed a change, that's how minor it was.

Did they? Seemed like everyone just walked or drove around.

That's what they do in GTAV too but at least you can interact with them by holding the right button.

Perhaps they lost their jobs, their homes were repossessed and they have no money for eating out. They are doomed to wander about aimlessly....sounds familiar, maybe the recession has hit Los
Santos...

Darkest Horse · 03-10-2013 9:30am

It's only a small(ish) gripe but the GPS system in the cars has prevented me from suspending my disbelief in relation to the supposedly huge, sprawling Los Santos. A lot was, and is, made about how big the city is but if you travel to the edge of LS and place a waypoint at the direct opposite edge and drive to it, you'll see that the points are roughly only three miles apart. In my estimation, in terms of area, that ranks it somewhere between Mullingar and Dundalk in a list of the world's largest cities (or towns). There's no reason to believe that LS is larger than any other GTA city but not knowing the actual size of the city might have helped to create the opposite impression, hence ditch the distance metres next time.

On a related note, what's the story with every major American city being an island so far? Aren't there ways to finally get a GTA city on the mainland?

The city/airport/docks is pretty much the same size and GTAIV Liberty City. And that's only about a third of the whole game map.

As for GTA being on the mainland, unless they revert to GTA1's idea of having a huge wall along the edge of the map (which would be negated anyway with all the planes and helicopters), I can't see it happening. It'd be far too hard to explain in any way that wouldn't be more ridiculous than the cities just being islands.

Unless the next game is "GTAVI: Under The Dome"

Yeah but all the Elder Scrolls games are pretty much mainland settings. Anyway, they still must have to do something similar in the current GTA re flying off the map. What's stopping me flying or boating to Liberty City? Island or no island, it's all the one.

that would be a nice easter Egg.

I'd like to find a games shop where you can play a short version of GTA1 or something, that would be sweet.

You can only fly one at a time :pac:. Besides which, if a plane/jet is stored in your hangar it's always there even if you crash one. Just go back to the hangar and you'll still have one. I've destroyed dozens of fighter jets as Trevor but there's always one in my hangar.

krudler · 03-10-2013 4:04pm

Finally stole the fighter jet, wheeee! I fired a load of rockets at some stuff and then got away from the police choppers, lost my wanted level, dove out and chuted into the playboy mansion.

Like.

Shoreside Vale in GTA III was mainland. You just couldnt get past the wall without the almost impossible to fly dodo, or using cheats. Even then, you couldnt land anywhere as it wasnt solid. Personally, I'm happy enough with islands as it means more detail. Infinite land would lead to cuts elsewhere.

They may be able to do it on Next Gen consoles, but I doubt they will waste the resources.

Optimalprimerib · 04-10-2013 5:46am

Not sure if this fits into arrgh but I think I prefer far cry 3. The gunplay and stealth was much more focussed, it was just as pretty, and there was better, more productive things to do outside the missions. In this, away from the missions I get bored just driving around

It's a great game, it's just the cops that drive me mad, the one star is simple too lose but once you get a helicopter after you your fecked, I had a 3 star wanted level and after 5 minutes of mayhem I found a spray shop and it said "lose the cops" wtf use is that!
I also thought I was a genius taking out a police helicopter by shooting the pilot with a sniper rifle, it did work but they sent 2 helicopters after me then!! And with a 4 star wanted level I eventually got killed!

Its practically a cheat, but if you head back for grove street, you can lose the cars easily enough in the horrible traffic they will send your way, then bail into the railway tunnel, stick on the left track, and head for the hills. There are 2 long tunnels, so all you have to do is lob some nades at the close pursuing cops, and then ease back on the speed until you get rid of them.

For online, I nicked a patriot as my first vehicle, turned out to be a very arsey call. I can evade 3 stars almost every time by heading out through the oilfields and over the hills. Its a little tricky to control on the downhills, but even with 3 tires shot out (ant-burst still locked) it still goes, and goes and goes. I've had some 20 min. plus chases with that vehicle, still haven't gotten away from a 4 star in a land vehicle though.....

gimli2112 · 04-10-2013 9:05am

Installed this yesterday.

When I tried to download the patch the screen just went black & had to do a hard reset.

Installed patch but then game froze twice on a loading screen (where you adjust the brightness)

Reset again. *murderous thoughts in mind*

Worked fine. Started SP. I hated GT4 (think it just got overhyped) and wasn't going to buy this. GT5 looks like a massive improvement. Really impressed. Just played the first two missions & can't wait to get back to it.

getting it out of the airbase without it being shot to crap is a game in itself, first one I got barely took off and then the engine died before I made it to full altitude, so being Trevor I turned it around and sent it sailing back into the base as I jumped out :pac:

I find the best method is to fly low over it from the south side and then parachute out and you are in the hanger nearly before the alarm goes off.

In single player use Franklin to drive through the gate of the base. As you are about to hit the barrier turn on Frank's special ability and drive in and follow the road to the right and then on the left is a hanger with the jet parked.

You wont get a wanted level until you step out of the car or run out of special. You then have a bit of time then to get into the jet before the army show up at the door.

Just as easy to parachute in, don't need to use special ability.

First time i tried to get the jet it got shot to bits and then blown apart by SAM missiles. Tried a second time and found a jet not in a hanger as such but parked in the open surrounded by these red and white barriers. Managed to get away with taking minimal damage and land at the airstrip before the engine gave out. I read on another forum that using the afterburner too much causes the engine to stop working altogether. Maybe that's what happened because I was flooring it from the get go.
