Don't like this one actually, fairly meh air and land races in it and sick of people in the Besra race at the end lowering their plane on top of you and sending you crashing while they just fly on.

Great fun tonight with CM Jc trying to snipe down two fighter jets in the airport. The absolute chaos taking place in the airport the last few days is incredible.

Kenjataimu · 23-08-2014 10:34PM

Having problems staying in sessions tonight.

That was a good laugh alright! Before I got that connection error there was only the one jet flying around but by the time I got back there were people hopping into Buzzards, the two jets and I think for a short time there was a tank outside too. Like some sort of a war-zone, I dunno why they were all trying to get us though. Pity I was kicked that second time.

I was having fun at the Airport too in my session, there were 6 others and it was just us all flying around with choppers killing each other, seems thats where all the action is though a lot of the time everyone is gunning for me since there isnt another Crew member on there

It seems like Rockstar didn't really fix things at all and just benefited from the smaller volume of players online before the update. I was having problems earlier as well.

What headsets are people using? I hear some of the boards crew with perfect clarity(sorry can't remember names) I got this gioteck piece of **** from argos the last day.

Gonna go buy a different one. Any suggestions?

Same here. Had a few connection issues last night and haven't been able to sign in all day.

Fecking double cash on those flying missions too, typical!!

On another note managed to find a Bravado Duneloader in Sandy Shores. I've two of them now! Cool glitch where players can stand on the flatbed and not fall off when the truck is moving

Does the new plane spawn in multiplayer mode? Am on level 50 ..

TacoMan · 24-08-2014 06:17PM

PSN down again? Sorry Proco, I left right after that survival to watch the match so never sent an invite. Can't sign in now :mad:

Billy86 · 24-08-2014 06:20PM

Mine has been working fine this morning and for the last hour or so, wasn't using it in between though (PS3).

Touch wood!

PSN was getting DDoS attacked on and off today.

Is it back on yet?

I don't think so, no dlc vehicles appear in the game unless you own them AFAIK.

Yep. I was able to sign in earlier anyway.
Actually no, just tried again and I'm getting that 807... error.
Tried again and got on at 8.25.

TacoMan · 24-08-2014 07:26PM

It seems to be back now, will load up GTA and see how it goes.

My name is URL · 24-08-2014 08:41PM

Has the event finished already? Just managed to get online and there's no option for it on the loading screen

I was chasing him around the map earlier for maybe 5 minutes, he was in his Adder & me in Turismo R. Just chasing, no shooting or sticky-bombs, just an innocent hassling =] I follow him up to the golf club where he jumps into one of the import/export cars for Simeon & takes off towards LSC with the cops chasing him. The car is the Hummer type thing so I catch him easily, lob a sticky-bomb on the back and leave him to disappear into the distance. He was just about to get the car resprayed when I set off the bomb. He wasn't amused.

I park up on top of the building overlooking LSC, he respawns, calls for his Adder, and is hovering nearby when he goes off radar. I put the foot down & started driving towards the racecourse. When he pops back up on the map he's chasing me now. Fair enough, I'll play - but he's useless in the car. Can't drive a block without crashing, can't take a corner without knocking chunks out of the scenery & he's slow as hell. I have to basically park up every few minutes to let him catch up. He eventually gets tired of chasing my shadows & I see him head off towards the heliport on the mini-map, so I wait for him to take off, go off radar myself, drive to the heliport & cover his parked Adder with sticky-bombs. Then it's quickly to the carpark under one of the skyscrapers before I'm back visable.

He's not much better in the chopper. I dart from tunnel to carpark etc around the city teasing him while he tries to shoot missiles under bridges & around corners. After about 15 minutes (seriously) avoiding his chopper I send him a message "Kaboom" & blow the stickys on his car. Again, he fails to see the humour.
At this stage I'm parked in the car-park near the movie studio, he crashes the chopper trying to get it into the carpark & kills himself. He starts sending me messages calling me a coward for running away from him, although I'm about 85% sure if I was parked stationary in the middle of the airport runway with flashing lights on the roof of my car he'd still have failed to hit me with a missile from the chopper. He gets his Adder back from insurance and drives up to the 3rd floor of the carpark where I am. I was writing a reply & didn't see him coming til the last minute but he took too long deciding what to do & I drove off down the ramp into the carpark. I threw a couple of stickys behind me & sure enough he followed right behind - kaboom take 2.

Right about here you joined the session. I'd been chasing him & been chased for about 20-25 minutes at this stage - I wasn't going mad or anything - killed him twice, blown his car twice & I think he killed himself once when he crashed the chopper. He started getting into it with you then too, but you were destroying him. Constant messages, just trying to rile me up I guess. The whole time we were in that session with him he was sending me messages, so that was another 5-10 minutes at least. All I said back was that he wasn't good enough to catch me, which was true. He got me a few times after my car mysteriously exploded (!) and then went into passive mode, walked up to me & started taking photos with his phone! We left the session soon after that.
