Any existing aircraft you own can be stored in your hanger and can be painted. The new aircrafts also have performance mods.

Out of curiosity I sold two crates of stock and my god, it took me about 15. Minutes to deliver two crates using the cargo Bob and all for 20k.

No thanks

 

[rallymorten]

all for 20k.

No thanks

Exactly.

I believe Ron said something about the more you have of one type the bigger a bonus you'll get and so on and so forth, but that'll have to be one heck of a bonus to make it worthwhile beyond getting the trade prices.

Which is, as I say it for the second or third time, quite a shame, because the missions themselves aren't too bad.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

👍 on the new business findings.

It will likely be next week before I can get a complete picture on the overall update and business, as this weekend is vintage racing instead. Hopefully I will get some time between prep this week to at least get into the hangar and spend some time with the new aircraft.

• Fixed an issue that meant players could be run over/hit by the Bunker caddies.

That's it. Worse update ever.

FoxySnaps has released base vehicle prices for the hidden vehicles:

Warstock
P-996 LAZER: 6.5 millio-WHAT?!
FH-1 Hunter: 4.1-3.1 million
P-45 Nokota: 2.65-1.995 million
Vigilante: 3.75 million
Pyro: 4.455-3.35 million
Mogul: 3.125-2.35 million
RM-10 Bombushka: 5.918-4.45 million

Elitas
Seabreeze: 1.13 million - 850k
Howard NX-25: 1.296 million - 975k

Legendary Motorsport
Coil Cyclone: 1.89 million
Dewbauchee Rapid GT Classic: 885k

Bottom names are released earlier. My main gripe is the price of the LAZER, seeing that it's the boss of the lot and has no trade price.

 

[STI9]

While that may - to an extent - be true (except it isn't),


Yes, this has triggered me beyond belief.

Ok. Fair enough.

Considering that a real life F16 Fighting Falcon C/D had a unit cost of $18.8 million, I'd call the Lazer good value.

 

[Sage Ages]

Considering the easy accessability of Lazers at the military base, and the fact that the Hydra is half the price, I doubt anyone beside the top 1% high k:d players are going to even bother.

 

[SkyArkz23]

im glad it's that high, less people i have to worry about having it.

btw how many planes can you store in large vs the small hanger?

I'm surprised that the Lazer is so expensive. The Hydra is cheaper, faster, and has VTOL capabilities enabling it to operate practically anywhere. The only place a Lazer has superior capabilities is when it comes to dogfighting, since the Hydra can't turn or climb to save it's life.

 

[Vic Reign93]

I have a theory as to why they are selling the Lazer when obviously you could just steal one.

It's either gonna be a novelty purchase like the Luxor Swift Deluxe and just a showcase of wealth(except this one is equipped with cannons and heat seekers.) or it's gonna be even More capable with possible upgrades and countermeasures and making quite possibly, A greifers ultimate weapon.

If it gets the same sort of customisation as the new planes do, (Big IF) it'll be even faster, tougher to kill, more destructive and way more agile than anything out there currently.

The muffled propeller for the microlight is a joy. Just flying around without acceleration makes you go off radar. I love it

 

[Crumpet]

There's a livery you can apply to have the Alpha Z-1 resemble the dotted plane from Come Outside.

I think this is my favourite update.

I know what I'm cruising when I get home!

At idle, the engine gives enough power to fly around happily all while keeping the speed just right to remain off radar.

All in the microlight costs a cool 1 million

 

[rallymorten]

In significantly less negative news from this side of the planet, the Retinue is actually good fun - as one would expect, given the vehicle it's based on - and totally hasn't made me consider the options for a rally event even though I already know it's destined to end up a waste of time even thinking about that, and the personal Cargobob seems to not suffer the same problem as regular Cargobobs, i.e. random deaths while you're inside your Vehicle Warehouse. Granted, sample size on that is still small, buuuuuut unless it ends up being a case of R* having missed a 0 in the smuggler values, there's plenty of time for testing that theory.

How is the engine out performance? Can it glide for long distances?

 

[rallymorten]

Downforce is now even greater than before Gunrunning, soooo the RE-7B is back below the minute but beaten to the punch by the Vagner.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Ron's cutscene for your hangar is very Wizard of Oz-ish lmao

That looks fun as hell and it's cool that we basically have a mini AC-130 gunship, but I'm worried about how it'll be used for griefing.

 

[Phoenix]

Are there any differences in the hangars at Zancudo? Except the price of course.

It's $1.2m difference between the cheapest and the most expensive. Is it worth getting the expensive one?

I have the one near the highway, the only thing that I can tell is the expensive one will be closer to your Pegasus vehicle spawns, and when you exit with an aircraft from the hangar it will be near the expensive one.

 

[Dan]

Do any of the new aircraft prevent you from entering passive mode while flying them?

 

[Crumpet]

The missions are fun.

 

[gnomefromnome]

Just went from 7.5 mil to 2.2 mil....and didn't buy any cars or expensive aircraft.

One of the supply missions was a 'stunt show'. Fly Under Bridge and Knife Flight for, as Ron put it, tweens. Then I got to drive a slow ass Mule from Grapeseed to Fort Zancudo.

I had that source mission too. I just blew up the truck and took the plane back to the hangar.

my runs in a nutshell

>leaves hanger for sell
>dies within 5 seconds by a person in a hydra or Oppressor
>cargo is destroyed
>Sale failed

or better yet....
>gets killed by npc helicopter
>Shoots down said copter
>Said copter crashes and blows up cargo
>Steal failed

currently have a 45% steal sucess rate....yeah mtu going to be at 800 for this....

 

[gnomefromnome]

Yes, set my MTU to 800 prior to starting this Smuggler's Run. Free Aim, low MTU makes for small lobbbies and surprisingly non aggressive players.

Mission - Maverick went down, recon the area and retrieve the supplies. Easy enough. Location was by the saw mill, and the AI Buzzards can't fly in the forest lol, easy run.

Another was a parachute jump into Humane Labs and 'stealth' kill the guards. I was mostly stealthy until I got close to the source Buzzard lol.

 

[SkyArkz23]

So anyone on PS4 up to doing I/E, GU, SR runs later tonight? I figure if we're gonna grind might as well do a rotation of all 3...

[i'll edit this once i get exact numbers but for anyone wondering]

Also it appears you can store about 12 small planes or 7 Medium planes in the cheapest hanger at LSIA and I guess 1 large one as well....not sure how many you can put in storage though...so in theory the Hanger sizes increase the number of "Active" planes you can use.

of course this is just a theory....
