Tapping the button is quicker than holding it.

 

Yes but creating a DIY tapping mechanism is more difficult that an elastic band and clamp :laugh:

Tapping the button is quicker than holding it.

I'm painfully aware of that, thanks to the tortuous 3rd triathlon that required 30 minutes of solid tap-tap-tapping (and then I got passed less than a meter from the finish).

Haha yeah i've been avoiding them :p

[TCA]

This is how I felt about them...

(For those who don't yet know what they don't know...

during the lengthy Epsilon quest you must run 5 miles in the desert while wearing special robes. Even with the controller fixed like this it takes about 25 minutes.

)

From the starting point...I just made him run in circles lol I may boot up online here in a few mins. Sucks I'm the only one that is doing 1-2P, I need better friends.

How can I install the "Play" disc to a USB flash drive I have connected?

EDIT: Figured it out:

 

Highlight Play Grand Theft Auto V on the home tab and tap X (Game Details). Then you can install. It still requires the disc to be inserted, but the disc drive usually s'stfu after a minute.

As stupid as this sounds, how do I use the air strip you get from from

The Lost

?

I stole a plane from the main airport and flew it there, taxied it in, and it said I could store any plane I landed and taxied there, but didn't do anything to the plane I did have.

It functions as a hangar for Trevor.  Franklin and Michael can buy one at the airport.  Any planes or helicopters you buy as Trevor get shipped there.

There was a new patch 1.02 to 1.03 last night. If you haven't gotten that update, DL it and see what happens. Also, don't make a temp character go back to Story mode then re-launch online and see if your character is there.

 

Just letting ya'll know, that the whiny twats online have risen from the pool of stupidity...Basically the ones that when you go back to "Free Roam" they start acting like 2 year olds with PMS. I was loaded into a room and some dude shot me in the face and killed me, after I helped him by taking out 20 cops surrounding him. I respawned he was blocked by 6 cruisers, I killed 4 then while his car was still block he was trying to get in so I returned the favor and flipped buckshot in is ass...and left with their kind words of "We don't want you here, ******" I told them it just put me here...before I killed him then left to solo to work on my 2nd charcter. I have a feeling nobody is going to like Laughingman119 soon LOL

 

I've been trying to jack a harrier jet online from Zancudo but I didn't see any. If anyone here on PS3 wants to lend a hand or join the crew I'm in it's open enrollment atm...to try and get one? I'm in solo right now building my stats and money, PM me or add me on PSN if anyone here wants to missions etc. I'm open 100%

Will do! I have a female character and male, she is higher rank then the other when I was testing out online yesterday Mine is Laughingman119. I don't have a headset atm, I use my phones Bluetooth. Needs charged now though.

I was playing as Trevor at the time, I didn't know if it only allowed specific planes or something (I flew a jet from the airport there)

[Shaun N.]

Wow, I took a few days off from GTA and logged in last night. Found a few American's that were just spamming online races and it was the most fun I've had in the game so far. No online issues last night.

A few days ago we found a guy with a helicopter picking up random people around and dropping them at Trevor's and Zancudo to grab flying stuff  :laugh: it's weird to see someone collaborating, maybe the first time I've seen a character approaching other players for anything other than killing them.

 

We only managed to get one jet though, the friend I was playing with couldn't find another one.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

 

 

It looks like the method they use eventually works pretty well, flipping the jet over and flying out over the hangers shortens the time you're over the airspace (And flying low helps too)

 

Edit: Around 8:15

[-T- Member]

Those guys were terrible at that, also there's a much easier way into the base

[TCA]

Helicopter or jumping from the mountain.

[Lingwo]

I usually jump off the mountain and then head straight into that hanger, most times i get the jet and then usually get hit on the way out. Then it is just waiting till the engine cuts out.

The looping out the hanger looked effective but i don't know why he still flew around the base after he managed to get away.

If you've played GTA Online over the last few days, you might have noticed that things feel a bit better than when the multiplayer portion of GTA V first opened its doors. It takes patience to stick around during a launch as creaky as the one GTA Online had. So Rockstar wants to say thank you by throwing wads of in-game cash at players logging in during the service's first month. $500,000 pays for a lot of lapdances. P

Starting as early as next week, Rockstar will be depositing half of the $500,000 amount into players' bank accounts. 

 

• • You must play or have played Grand Theft Auto Online at any time during the month of October 2013 in order to qualify for the GTA$500,000 deposit in your in-game bank account.
  • Players will first have to install a forthcoming GTAV title update which we expect to happen next week. That title update (1.04) is expected to fix the remaining instances of issues that have caused vehicle purchase loss and will also enable the functionality through which we?ll be providing this GTA$ stimulus cash to players.
  • We will announce at the Rockstar Newswire when each deposit is made.
  • Each of the two GTA$250,000 deposits will be made by Rockstar and should automatically appear in the in-game GTA Online bank accounts of eligible players. Beyond downloading the forthcoming title update mentioned above, there should not be any additional special action required by eligible players to redeem.

I don't get the whole fly low crap, when I steal one, I just take off and fly straight up and always get away without even being shot at.

Exactly. I get hit a lot more if i fly low. Plus it is more tricky to move around as the ground is just below the plane.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Because there's AA missiles tied to the radar, fly too high and they shoot you down.

 

It's mentioned in single player and happens in multiplayer as well.

[Shaun N.]

Ooo, I got a world record on a race! I'm really not that good. People must not do that race too much :P

I keep hearing so many good things about this game, but once again, I get to my house where I go to bed, wake up, and then have no further instructions. How do you follow the storyline when you don't have a mission?
