I'm so glad I bought the 900R upgrade when benny's upgrades was half off last week
 
Hmm... I guess it's time for me to buy the "PacStan-apartment" now...and maybe a yacht. By the way, wich one is the "PacStan-apartment"?
Los Lagunas Ave I believe
 
The armoured (CEO upgrade) Cuban 800 is a beast. I'd pay more than double the price of the normal Cuban for a Pegasus version of the armoured one.

Today I did a CEO crate sale in the Cuban with a friend and I tried to land the plane on the Maze Bank Tower after the mission. I failed twice and clipped the tower with one wing at a time and the plane lost one propeller but I didn't notice the difference until I saw it. The third time I landed it just below the helipad, something that I could never do in any other plane because it'd blow up instantly. My friend poured gasoline all over the plane and set it on fire, which left the Cuban unscathed. He then parachuted to the street, spawned my Buzzard, flew up to the top of the tower and started firing missiles at the plane. 6 missiles later it was still going! :drool: Eventually it exploded after 8-9 missiles. Jesus Christ, this plane is like the flying child of the Insurgent and the Kuruma, only more durable than both of them combined! So worth the 190k for the armour upgrade :D

You know what? I'm buying one anyway, even if it's the regular version.

@Flash_Sweden the PacStan apartment is 0604 Las Lagunas Boulevard and costs $126000 ($63000 this week). 👍

I've only done a CEO mission once, and this story makes me want to fly an upgraded Cuban immediately. Can you only fly it in missions?
 
Well. This have been an ok day in Los Santos

I made $357k by selling crates. By changing the MTU of course. ;) I also realized that that doesn't make you go into a "private" public lobby. Crewmembers can still join. The same should go for people on your friendlist.👍

I got the easiest daily objectives yet. Participate in an air race, fly under a bridge in an air race and watch a movie :lol: And when I did them, which I thought was the daily objective needed for the weekly $100k-bonus, it turned out that i got the monthly bonus. That's another $500k. :sly:

I finished the night by purchasing the apartment for the Pacific Standard-heist. I had to trade in another property (the 6-car garage on Route 68)though, so I only paid about $30k for the apartment. And thanks to I've used the old property for storing and selling Sandkings, I can honestly say that the new apartment was free :sly:👍

I'm still considering buying a yacht, but I'm skeptic. I don't think I'll use it enough to make it worth it. But I've got a week to decide.
 
Which property should I buy for Pac-Stan? 0604 Las Lagunas Blvd, Apt. 4 or 0605 Spanish Ave, Apt 1? 0604 Las Lagunas is closer and provides cover for teammates, but 0605 Spanish Ave is a straight shot to the street.

Las Lagunas is next to the bikes. Spanish Ave. is out of range
 
@Sting Apparently you can get a metallic purple Combat MG. Paint MG pink then buy etched gun metal finish. Pause and find new session. Go outside and equip said MG. Video said it worked with other colours but does not work with all guns.
Also you can get into the back of a Mule and shoot out. You get 2 people in a Mule and park it so the right side is hard against a wall. Driver gets out (passenger goes into drivers seat) go to back and hold triangle. Combine with 'off the radar' for good times.

Do you have any photos of this? I'd like to see it before trying.

Edit: Like I said I'm not sure how it works with other colours and what other guns it works on. I do know it doesn't work on the special carbine.
Does the glitch go away the next time I fire up the game or does it stay on the gun forever until I change the tint?

I think it stays, I haven't tested it. Even if it didn't, wouldn't the purchased tints still be at Ammunation for free?

Edit. I'm gonna boot up GTA soon so I will test it and post back within half an hour or so.

All weapon tints are free after purchase I believe. I think this glitch has been known by the community for quite some time as I believe I've heard about this tint glitch before so I'm not sure what are the chances of Rockstar patching it.

Ok the tint does remain after closing app and re-launching. It remains after viewing the weapon in the gun shop (even though the one on the wall has no tint).
R* said a while back that they weren't bothered about patching these types of glitches (visual stuff like hat/mask) and that they were focusing on glitches that affected the games economy etc.
The glitch has been about for a while but I read it on GTAF just there and thought Inwould share it here. Going to have a look and see if there is a list of weapons colour combos that work.

Thanks. I'll try this today.
 
I did this with my special carbine rifle just now. Done using the gold tint. For some reason, it didn't work when I tried to do this with the pink weapon tint for the Special Carbine though it did worked with the gold tint.

I can't stay in a public session for more than two minutes. How do you have this much money to spend, yet you can't put any of that towards stable servers? Anyway, yay, purple LMG!

Because employee bonuses.

Because the employees are the ones buying the game twice, along with a shark card or two.
Yeah. A bit of bull, but it's still better than some games.
