nah mate, just the way Mike said ca$h money.. idk it made me go all silly.. I've been in a very silly mood the last few days :3

On other matters, headset no worky last couple days and really can only hear muffled chatter, but I think I made out "Sydney what are you playing at".. like, oh my gosh, really?
Finally got a Feltzer, always kinda wanted to but was always either space or money limited. Maybe not that fast but nice and pointy on initial turn in and power slide on the way out driving
Also the sound, particularly good in tunnels and multi-storeys.

Steal and sell a car first thing you do when you start an online session, then accept any missions you get offered from other players.
You can sell a stolen car every 45 mins or so real time, so remember to do that between missions and races.
Certain cars are worth up to 9k, so its well worth keeping an eye out for those
Specifically the Ballers (Range Rover) and Felons (Jaguars) and the F620 (Maser) are the most worthness you can sell. Dem bare swag cars you no can't sell.
Best fer ca$h money is do dem missions wit fi you bredren, man gotta accept dem invites ya feel me?

Not if you seek out the gang cars. Hit up Grove St from 11pm-3/4am and drive around, you will find the specific gang cars which can sell for up to 13,000

Indeed - and if you can find a green one, they won't shoot you. Can be a bit hit and miss nicking a yellow or purple one!

I tried to steal a yellow BMX the other night and failed frown

Anyone got a 12GB PS3 (that's the superslim without built-in hard drive, I think?) Anyway, you won't be able to play online after the 1.17 update if so; unless you add a hard drive anyway. As simple as storage limitations. Wonder how big the next update will be, then?

I've just bought a 12gb as my original fat model had its final YLOD (ie i couldnt be arsed to fix it for the 5th or 6th time as the period between fixes was getting shorter and shorter). Whipped out my upgraded 320gb hdd as i knew 12gb would be too small.
Note to all who may buy the 12gb model, you have to buy the hdd cradle seperately (£1.90 off ebay).

Tried the flight school online last night. Gold on most up to the low level flying one. After an hour of trying only managed to get to the finish line once with a poxy average height of 26m - not even close to bronze!

Just watched a video on YT and they make it look so easy!

I managed a gold on that one but struggling to get gold on a couple of the other ones. my avarage height was 7.4m.

I think the trick is to not use your thruster at all, let the plane fly at its normal speed. or if you do have a small straight just tap the thruster.

I haven't completed the low level one either - however, I've seen a tip that you keep the brakes 80-90% on (i.e. L2 not quite fully pressed) with R2 pressed for thrust. Can't say that I believe it yet...

I'll give that a try!

Worked out the zero thrust thing to slow it down but still ham fisted and useless when it comes to precision!

Because its worked out over an avarage, when you have a level straight, try and keep the jet as low to the ground as possible. Also with the no thrust thing for a large portion of the course, I just used the tail rudder to control the turns, with very little tilting, only when needed for flying over the non flat bits. Hope that helps a bit, its not easy though

Hi Guys, I found also, lower the landing gear, you can actually roll along the ground without failing, also it gives you a bit of safety if you do get it too low.

When you come down over the water pump station after the dam, aim for the very lowest part of the circle, not the middle.

Took me a while to figure out you don't have to go through the marker but can go very under it, meaning your average before the pipes can be 0. Can't remember if it goes negative?
Warning on the wheels thing, if you go too slow it fails you for landing.

Yea I keep forgetting about that smash
Are there any 10 car garages near there? Could be worth filling a garage with them while they're spawning kind of thing.

The Alta St apartments with 10-car garages are quite near Grove Street, but the cheapest 10-car garage (South Shambles St) is almost opposite the non-affiliated gang car spawn point (spawn location marked by the camera icon on map below). Having said that, I've only once found one of the non-affiliated gang cars; the green, yellow and purple ones seem to be much more common spawns.



Here are the other gang car spawn points:

I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's session of missions and races with a few others last night (I'm cheshire_cowboy) - I must get myself a working bluetooth though!

Best bit was the mission in the army base, some superb teamwork between myself and A.J.M at the end and I have no idea how I survived 5 minutes of 5 stars in a stolen police car with no tyres!!!
Funniest bit was AJ's reaction when I finally nailed him with the Lazer in the hunters/runners match, shame I flew into a tree about 0.002 seconds later hehe

Never really thought of that one as a gang car. I've found it's a bit hit and miss on that one spawning. Does it sell for >9k?

My step son has the 10 car garage near the scrap yard, he said he's seen a few non affiliated cars there but not many.
At one point he had each gang in each colour, some take a lot longer to find than others
