I have max flying skill and the flying still sucks. In a way I understand what rockstar was trying to do but it makes flying almost useless and not very fun at all.

You can fly any of the jets at the airport, even the 747. You just don't see the animation of getting in when you enter them. I have a fighter jet parked in my hanger now. One thing that bothers me about the jets is they don't seem that fast.

I didn't know that. Drove by them a few times with cops in tow but saw no doors so figured they were static.

Flying is pretty awful, at least for helicopters.


Made some clever market investments and now have over $1 billion on Franklin. I am going to start buying up property now and probably a boat. I've finished the main story. I found the best way to invest was to crash a stock (blow up their planes, rob their stores, whatever) then invest when they are very low; wait a few days (go into the save menu to pass time quickly, you don't have to save) then sell when the stock rebounds and normalizes (everything but LifeInvader recovers). I went from $25 million to $1.14 billion in like an hour last night on Franklin and over $400 million each on the other two.

I will do that as I definitely need some cash. What are some good companies to target and where are their assets?

The ones I found work the fastest was buying up one of the Postal companies (both have Post in the name, can't recall the actual names though). Buy one, steal a jet, and blow up the competitor's cargo planes. Sell your stock, then invest in the one that tanked. Wait a few days and resell. The least I've made on a tanked stock was 99.7% profit (yes, it is very lucrative).

I am sure there is a list on what competes with each other. I know the fast food places compete and there is the two banks (though I haven't targeted either of those types yet to manipulate the market).

There is also another stock (but the name escapes me) that goes up when you blow up police helicopters and such. That would be easy to exploit. I tend to just look for stock that has dropped 90+% as well, because it always recovers for a great profit.

Easiest is airUS. There are lots of them at the airport. Fly away come back and they come back.

Oh crap, damn I need to try this. I've died a lot so lost tons of money.

Hey, I ve been playing for around 10 hours. 9 hours just exploring the sandbox. Anyway, Last night I decided to start some missions and/or sub missions. So, I found this asian guy and he leads me to a street race. I start the race and win only the mission doesnt end. The other races keep going through the same old race route, I cant exit mission as there is no exit mission option and I cant do anything else in the game except dive around. Very frustrating. There are so many glitches. Like my mother exiting the house every 2 seconds. The street is lined up with my mother clones! Fun game overall, hopefully they will patch it. I dont want to go to deep into the game only to have my save game corrupt like Fable 3 did to my save after 30 hours of play.

I'm at about 20 hours now and I haven't seen a single bug, except for the one time I had a car spawn on top of another car in the garage.

I glitched out in that mission too. I just drove off; after I got about 5 blocks off course, they told me I'd failed the mission for leaving the course and I got the option to retry. I've used that in other missions as well where I end up missing a turn and get stuck; just die and you can restart the mission with no penalty.

I blew up a dozen Los santos transport trucks but its stock didn change. I went to safe house and saved three times but after neither did its stock change, either... How long should it take?
Hmm, now I wonder if it's an online stock, I think it is on bawsaq.

I only try to manipulate stocks on the other exchange.

They are stunt challenges. You have to go a certain distance or land on a certain platform or jump over a specific obstacle.

I'm stealing that fighter jet today

There's a trick. Go in the back road and then head left after you enter tand get the ones in the small hangers because they are harder to shoot (you have some cover). When you get off the ground, quicksave from the phone. When they start shooting at you just climb straight up and the missile should miss. If you get hit, quicksave real fast again and reload that save. When you come back the jet will have taken no damage after the hit. This works to repair any vehicle as well.

That's how I got it

If you see Franklin's mother, It would be quite the bug.
He lives with his aunt.

The only glitches I've seen are the cars disappearing from the garage, which it seems like everyone is seeing and there's probably a 0% chance Rockstar didn't know about it prior to release, and I had one police chase that wouldn't end. The stars would flash, the stars would disappear, the cops would keep looking for me.

Another thing I think is a bug. When you find Clinton the vet talking about the war and you are instructed to talk to him, Trevor says how you doing and nothing happens. Clinton just keeps rambling.

There's lots of random encounters like that. Trevor gets one with some guy dressed as Uncle Sam and rambling about immigrants and such. You say hi or whatever and the guy just keeps babbling on. I think they are just supposed to be persons of interest with funny dialog, not missions. I found one guy with franklin who said he had the inside path to getting rich in the recession and when the banks collapse he will still be rich. He never tells you anything more, just stuff about capitalism being corrupt but he can play it to his benefit etc.

A silly "glitch" I found was on
the mission for FIB when one needs to stash a getaway car. It never told me anywhere to put it in particular, so it turned out I put it 1.3 miles from the actual gun fight. I did the gun fight until it told me to get in the garbage truck and take off, at which point all the cos were dead anyway, so I had a leisurely drive in garbage truck to my infernus, got in the car, the mission ended. Was silly.

Had no luck with stock market. The only company with concentrated assets in one location is the airport, and straffing the runway taking out planes became more of a hassle than it should have. For the other companies taking out their vehicles is hard because after I see one truck, take it out, I'm already two stars most of the time, and running around finding another of the same brand takes forever. I did focus on the industrial area.

I upgraded Franklin's car completely and then it reverted back to stock on a certain mission... Oh well, I just upgraded it again. Not like I need money. >_>

So, I bought the golf course, and apparently there was a dress code (which Franklin can now ignore, being the owner and all). You only make ~$250k a week though.

I keep hearing ads on the radio about a 150 million dollar house, but I can't find where to buy it. =)
