The cars in GTA5 will take one hell of a beating and keep going, this is one i used to escape a meryweather attack chopper across off road terrain







It started off looking like a db9 clone, surprisingly it still drove in that state

WOOHOO! After 2 or 3 goes last night I managed to steal a jet fighter with the use of a HALO jump and a load of body armour... good lord you can raise hell with that thing! It locks onto police cars as well as helis! It is now stored in my hanger for later shennanigans!

There is an easier way.

Play as Franklin, steal a fast car. Drive at the front gate of the base and just before you hit the gate activate the special power mode, take the first right and then turn left and you will see a giant building. You will be able to drive in to the hangar just as your special ability runs out.

The base alarms do not sound until you get to the hangar.

There's another way.

Steal a fast car, approach the road tunnel that goes under the base at high speed from the north. leave the road just beofre the entrance to the tunnel. If you've enough speed, the earth ramp will launch you over the fence. When you land, turn left and hare around to the hanger where you can get the aircraft away before the guards can react.

Can you store it in the hanger if you play as franklin? I liked my way as it was dramatic!

I'm not quite sure, but I think it might not appear until after you've done a certain story mission.

It is worth us setting up a second PH PS3 crew? I'm still sat on the Xbox one and have been trying for days to get onto the PS3 one but to no avail.

just another glitch, all the modifications have dissapeared from franklins car, had it fully modded, spent thousands on it, nows it just back to standard
I had that happen to Trevor's pickup last night, all the mods I put on it have gone but it does now have poor Mr Raspberry Jam stuck to the front of it.

Isn't it a bit weird that Trevor can get away scott free with murdering two people in their own apartment but not for shooting at his own truck way out in the desert

Don't think it's possible. Tried it everywhich way on that mission.
Bought one in the end.
Scared to drive it now though tongue out

I'm not quite sure at what point MrRJ appears on it, probably after what's in the spoiler, but yea I expect that's what's deleted your mods. Programming fail silly
Odd that you get stars so easy considering shooting cans/old trucks in the desert is a standard 'murica pass time. Yesterday I ended up on 4 stars, my car got mullered and I had to run on foot to a jet ski, ended up going halfway round then down a river and then another river, two helicopters on me the whole time, able to see when I stopped or turned under a bridge, what's more I'm jet skiing up a river miles from any kind of civilisation and cop cars are coming at me from every which way, like they just happened to be parked up all along the river waiting on the off chance someone happened to do a runner up that river. The law enforcement budget in SA must be huge.

Go to Crew Management then the Hierarchy tab, commissioners and leaders can highlight and kick people from there.

I will have a look when i get home from work, i just don't want to kick anyone without knowing for sure that they are Xbox players, The only way is using the Wiki page to find out the user ID under xbox tab etc

ah ok I think I get it now, you have to click to select then click the kick button at the top, rather than click on member > popupmenu > kick option.
because that pop up menu has a block button but no kick button. cos that makes sense thumbup

on one of the later missions I managed to grab one of the super lambo's. Bit like a Gallardo (buyable from the dealership). Not seen one on the road at all but it was in the car park, I stole it and went via my house in a mission.

Quick question re this if I may folks..

What's the difference like graphically between the PS3 version and the XBox version, or are they the same / on a par?

Eurogamer always answer this exact question in more detail than I ever care to read about.

I think the TL;DR is that they're very similar and you're unlikely to notice a difference while kicking over cows and crashing planes into police cars.
