I've never had any luck leaving a Felon or Baller with an ignition bomb near LSC; to be honest, I have no proof the ignition bomb works at all.

Erm... that recording you made last night. I hope you didn't capture my buzzard mishap on the first attempt at Out of Harmony. Cheers for the tank assistance; that made the final bit much easier in particular biggrin

I did.
Couldn't quite make out what you were saying but I believe I heard "that's embarrassing" hehe
I'd only hit record to get a pic of my funky t-shirt. Crazy game had overlaid the print (just the print??) of another t-shirt. Bizarre.

On the subject of leaving cars places.. has anyone tried putting an ignition bomb on a car you have a tracker and/or insurance on?

The trouble with ignition bomb cars is unless it's something shiny the chances of someone getting in are low, but if it's something shiny you have to buy it to get in LSC at all, but I doubt you get it back if it's insured (or more likely can't install a bomb in it if it's insured).
I've gone to the lengths of nicely modding an old muscle car and parking it up but no one ever got in frown
Back in the Billionaire days I used to ignition bomb my "spare" entity all the time and leave it at LSC.. used to get quite a few suckers with that! now if I do it I tend to use a Weasel news van! Its a good laugh! ... remote bombs are also fun, it makes them think they have got away with nicking a car then BOOM! .. it gets expensive though.. you can fit bombs to insured cars.. you just have to pay MM when it goes boom!

On pegasus vehicles? With sticky bombs rather than LSC fitted bombs I guess?

But you don't have to buy a new one each time? Saying that, I think the collector's vehicles are free to order, just mods you pay for, so actually cheaper to reorder a stock one than pay the insurance.
May start leaving bombed Khamelions, Hotknifes and CRSs lying about evil

You can fit bombs in LS Customs to pegasus vehicles, or you used to be able to anyway!

Should be possible to fix it without losing your game; have a look here: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/communities/p...

I'm getting a bit sick of the players that you can't kill. I mean what is the point of making yourself invincible even if you can? Getting shot by a random is part of the game.

Just people that can't play the game without cheating, similar to those why relied on tanks so heavily!
The constant issues with idiots fking things up in sessions is getting annoying now.
I'm hoping the PS4 version puts an end to it all

My trick for the vehicle bombs is to just get some random car off the street, drive it into my garage so it has a tracker (but no insurance) and then fit it with the bomb, and leave it outside the Vinewood LSC. Obviously when people drive in to sell a care and then leave, all the parked vehicles despawn outside LSC... unless it has a tracker on. If it's nice and simple, most people won't believe that it's fitted... it's how I've got most of mine!

Also I may have found Franklin and Lamar working in a UK dealership... http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hockleytradecars/m.html?...
