I was thinking about the trucking missions from SA too. I miss doing that :/

 I for one didn't try it on cinematic view, but I will try it on my second run of the game soon. Just only thing is the ending kinda sucked. Has anyone found the club where the lost hang out at? I found it once with Franklin but, don't remember where it exactly is.

 

Their base, or the Bar on the highway?

I found the one near the taxi company, and the airfield (from earlier missions) are there anymore then just the ones i found? I like Johnny he was fun to use in TLAD...until T had to make a country hot dog with Ashley and killed him....now the lost get on my nerves. I just wanna hunt them down and kill them! ALL of em'

I just hit the 74% completion mark, and I am having a blast with this game so far. Looking forward to the online coming on tonight at 9PM AEST.

 

Just a quick tip to anyone on the last mission and I won't spoil what happens but 

when asked to choose an option on your phone, please in the name of all that is holy choose Option C

Those were the only one's I've found also, apart from the random spawns on the highways, sorry

oh okay I was just wondering if there was, respawns are okay with me haha

i'm at the 80.2% mark still tying up loose ends and doing replays since i had to get used to the controls.

Im loving it and at like 16%, taking my time don't want the story to end.  Do a bit of story, off to do random stuff, bit of story.

Yeah same here really. I like to polish things off as i go along so it'll be a long time before i get to 100%. Currently sitting at the 42% mark.

One thing I was wondering with the Online launch already under way - If I kill or am killed by another player, what happens with my money? Do they get it all, a percentage or nothing?

 

Apparently if you're killed and you haven't deposited what you're carrying, then it will remain in your wallet that falls out on the street and others can steal it.

It's happened to me and I just got an impound notification when it did, now one vehicle I had for Michael was in his garage, I had made completely chrome just recently disappeared. Same went for Poppy's car I jacked after she crashed, in Franklin's garage and it turned into the same one but just a normal version not hers(this was before I read about the garage glitch).

Since that happened to me I haven't had any issues with them disappearing in that short of time either. Didn't know yours was being eaten within 5 seconds, so yeah that is a bug.

 

You try to steal as much as possible in a target area and aggregate all the car together to blow them up. That's my purpose but when you try to find more car by walking further and come back to add more car to the road some car will disappear roughly 2-3. Because i count it and it's freaking me out because i want to use RPG to shoot and continuously cause explosion together with approximately 10-12 cars. However, you can't do it...maybe there is a limit. So i still pondering what's the reason...it might not related impound at all. 

Finished main Storyline with 1.7 billion in every character's bank.

Still at 60%.

 

Forgive me for asking... legitimate funds? Or cliched funds? (well as legitimate as robbing banks can be, you know what i mean :p )

 

I'm finding most of my earnings come from massive investments in rival companies before i do a mission that would greatly affect a business. You can make mega bucks like that!

Since GTA:Online is still have issues (I had to make a new character, initial race marker was starting the race when driven over etc) I hopped back onto solo play. I haven't messed with this much, but I am curious. If I have purchased a car via a website, if I take it out for a spin, leave it or it explodes, will be in my garage or at my house next time I choose the character or will I be out $650,000?

 

Also, do water vehichles at the dock act like a garage? Multiple boats can be docked and chosen from, and returned on their own if left behind?

 

Lastly (sorry guys/gals), tanks & helicopters? Same deal? (and where are these parked?)

Legitimate funds. Not used a single cheat so far and plan not to use it ever. 

 

Anyway, this is only possible if you complete Lester's 4 assassination missions after main story line. But you have to complete the first Hotel Assassination mission from Lester for the story line to progress. Then follow the guide posted on gtaforums and it's pretty easy to dump all money in stocks and watch them double or triple. It's a domino effect. The more you have to invest, the more money you make. It is possible to max out at 2.1 billion dollars per each character depending on how much you make in final heist.

Helicopters purchased by Michael or Franklin are stationed at the Helipad near the docks in the south part of the city map -- Trevor's are kept at the airfield in Sandy Shores.  Water vehicles are kept all at the same dock, you can choose which one you want when you get there.

 

If your car explodes, it'll come back to your garage -- where people have issues is taking the car on a mission and it gets lost or loses mods.

Thank you for the response.

 

How is everyone finding it so far? Stable?

It is incredibly unstable as far as my experience goes. Jobs crash, if you time out sometime you have the exit the game completely, and timing out is 50/50 at this point, so it is incredibly frustrating. Really rather annoyed, barely making it to lvl 5 with a few things done but overall, due to the amount of people on (I assume) it is a really ridiculously inconsistent experience. This is what it'll likely be like as a PS4 user with games like Destiny/The Division for a while unless their online infrastructure plans ramp up. Not trolling but this does make me (anticipatory) excited for Xbox One's 300,000 servers compared to its current... 10k or 30k servers..

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
