Q: Can you get a HVY Dump onto a train and do a lap of Los Santos?

A: Yes and no. Yes, you can get it onto the train, but no, you can't do a lap.

Get a HVY Dump from the quartz mine, and drive it to the entry to the tunnel near the hippie camp. Park it across the entryway and wait for a train to come. Nothing can stop the train, but the truck can't fit through the tunnel. So it will get written off and flung into the air. If you're lucky, it will land in the train, and if you're quick, you can board the train. I managed to ride it around to the bridge where Trevor crashes the trains in the story, but the truck wasn't sitting in the flat carriage properly, so it hit the outside of the tunnel and got thrown out and over the edge of the bridge.
 
So a little while ago I was moaning about how the random events stopped spawning in my game. Well today I finished all of the stunt jumps. I have completed each stock race once and got all of the prize cars in my garage.
I noticed something new though, the duke o death doesn't spawn in either of the 2 locations it should, after completing the random event or on warstock. Also cant get the "all's fare in love and war" trophy as property missions no longer work either.
 
Is there any advantages for playing with the default reticule? I typically use the larger one with the circle around it, while most of the people I watch on YouTube just use the small dot.

Simple just shows where you are aiming while complex shows bullet spread.

The default reticule just feels cleaner. Less stuff in your face.

Gotcha.

Another question: Why can't we change the color of any sniper rifle's reticule? A white dot is almost impossible to distinguish from a very bright background (Sand, fog, concrete in direct sunlight, etc).
 
I've never had any problems with that. Even if you can't see the dot well, you should still have an idea of where you're gonna hit.

It's frustrating if you're trying to go for headshots in a mission, so you won't alert half the enemies.

Good point, I mean a real sniper's retical is black isn't it? I think because the default reticle for all weapons is white

I had a 5 star wanted level the otherday in a dump truck (Not the massive thing, picture of it below) and saw that the Duke O' Death was nearby so I got in it and after a 2 hour police chase throughout the city I bolted to the airport to escape, I got in a Velum and blew up the Dukes to get rid of evidence. Then the choppers shot the engine to ****, so my only option was to dive to the ocean and swim. I crashed the plane and swam for the beach, hiding under the boardwalk. I hid there for the 5 minutes until the police called off the search and I "borrowed" a red Canis Mesa parked on the beach. I then got hit by a police car and got a wanted level. AND THEN I got hit by a bloody delivery van and died!
 
Glad the Xbox One patch dropped yesterday. I hadn't played since the New Year snow and the graphics definitely had become terrible, most notably in the handling of depth of field more so than textures. It's all looking rosy again now, thankfully.

And now we wait to hear if the PC port isn't complete garbage...

Considering the delays it has had and the fact they have had 2 years to work on it, I doubt it will be garbage. Most of the stuff R* has done, especially in recent years, has been high quality, apart from the main culprit, GTAIV's PC Port.

It's PC, it can be fixed with mods. :D

In reality, probably won't be able to play online and have mods, but that's ok with me. Mods it is....

For me it's PS4 for Online and PC for mods. If the modding community can keep the mess that was GTAIV alive for 7 years then I'm sure they can keep this going until GTAVI or whatever the next GTA will be.

Yeah the mods on this one are going to be insane, I can feel it.

NEW Duplication Car Glitch after Patch 1.26 Plus after the Hotpatch.

And then everyone who uses that glitch will get banned or some other punishment. Did you not get the message R* sent us with the last patch?
