The two ways to do it is to parachute in from high altitude and land near the parked f-16 or to try ramming through the gates in a car...hijack a tank then drive the tank to the jet.

Ive rammed the gates and made it to the F-16 in a car and got away fine, engines stopped and i crashed within less than a minute though, assume i ran out of fuel? 🙁

Expensive game this.
Game £38.
24" TV for the bedroom to persuade the Wife to relinquish her control on the one in the lounge...
£130.

I managed to get a jumbo taxying towards the runway but couldn't get enough speed to get it up before I exploded.
Story of my life really.

Got to the start of the missions with Trevor, quite amusing. Plus blowing trailers up is lots of fun 😀

Started off quite slow but it is growing on me. Loving the radio stations too, but then they have been excellent in every GTA.

Anyone know when this will be available?

I flew into the military base, everything seems fine, touch the ground.... About 5 million soldiers in jeeps all come after me. Despite rolling to a stop right next to th f16, I was dead before I touched it.

Finish a week of nights in the morning, then a week off. This coincides, somewhat fortuitously, with those splendid folk from Amazon delivering me a shiny new copy of GTA 5. It goes without saying that MrsMitch will be sadly disappointed with regards to any chores she has lined up for me. Let the car stealing and ho shooting commence!

Not found any spaceship parts.
Not found any of the bail-jumpers Trevor is to find.
Not found any bits of the letter.
Not found the Veyron nor any keepable boats, helicopters or planes (escaped the airport with a plane as Trevor and parked it in the hanger next to where he kept the helicopter. But it disappeared, and now the helicopter has disappeared too).
Only found three stunt jumps.

There's a letter right at the top of the big yellow crane at the construction site. There's also a parachute and a big drop.

I was hurtling along the freeway way up North, when I happened upon a car trasnported full of sports cars. Spent ages driving back to that Solomon geezer, thinking he'd give me a good price. He was shut.

There is a scrap of paper, possibly part of this letter at the top of the cable car.

Anyone else had a go in the F Type yet?

Sorry...should have posted all of these as one!

How many flying under the bridges have folks done? Having some very spectacularly bad endings...need to try in an f16 for even more hilarity.

Found the 2 parts of the letters mentioned no others.

Found a Veryon a couple of times but it's suffering from bugs which means stored times get lost.

Ok. So who else run the cheapest crew for the first heist?

RIP Weapons guy 🙁

..also, why the **** did I buy loads of Lifeinvader stocks after completing Lester's headexplodey mission?

I lost the cheap weapons guy when his bike crashed, but somebody else managed to pick up his cash, so there was more for the survivors. Every cloud....

I used the cheapest crew for the first heist, lost one guy in it. Went rather well overall.

Flown under a few bridges however I couldnt help but giggle when the plane hits the bridge and is reduced to a smouldering wreck with no wings and the outcome is "Mission Failed - the plane landing gear is damaged"

Used the cheap weapons guy thinking no weapons would be needed...cue lose a wodge of dough.

I followed Lester's advice for the first heist, expensive crew but cheap gunman - he crashed his bike and got caught, the dozy pillock.

Im finding myself really enjoying the missions with Trevor in the desert, took me a few goes to do the meth lab mission though.

Plenty of big explosions which is always good 😀

The weapons guy on mine died and his share of the take was still picked up. Might do it again and see if he dies regardless.

I did the meth lab in 3 goes. I didn't think it was very hard, really. Just tricky to get into the house, but I was trying to lob grenades in the windows which didn't work and ended up with me getting shot a lot.

I was just behind him with Franklin. Cue special ability slow down and scoop up the cash 😀

By the way, if things are going too quickly, like during a race...go to the character select section and time slows right down. Useful.

Took me five as I didnt realise the van would move getting rid of 3 of them.

Getting in to the house was pretty easy courtesy of the barn.

Doubt it. I keep finding myself in the strip club or walking the dog on the beach.*

*Walking may also include setting chop on people.

What van? I just took loads of them out with the sniper rifle - there's an easy two for one with the lads rolling out barrels - and then stood off picking the rest of them off from a distance with the assault rifle.

I definitely favour stealth rather than the Rambo method.

I wish I had a second PS3 to bring to the hotel....

I like the way that, for really big explosions, the explosion slows down a little first, then speeds up. Think I might have seen that effect in a movie one time.

What van?

If you dont shoot the barrel guys they come back out with one other and drive off in a white van leaving 6 left to snipe and then the contents of the house.

Something of a first tonight; a shortish session (just over an hour) with not a single act of violence. Death by shonky landing but only for me. Nobody else suffered.

I'm really warming to Trevor. Sure, he's a psychopath but he's the most fun. I switched to him last night and he was chasing strippers out of the club in his pants.

Is that meth lab mission the one with the o'neill family? Where you burn it down? I did that first time, no trouble. Likewise the earlier one where you defend Trevor's lab.

The Michael mission getting out of the hospital was giving me some grief!

Yeah, I thought the meth lab one was very easy. Shoot everyone you can see from a distance, then move in hide behind the barn, shoot most of the rest, then charge in using special ability and kill everyone else.

[i]Is it me or is it impossible to blow up the car youre driving in. Half my cars look like skeletons when ive finished with them...but they still dont blow up! [/i]

I've no idea what you're doing then. I've lost count of the number of times I've died in a car explosion. I've even died when one of the massive dumper trucks from the quarry I was driving blew up. (Although admittedly, I may have been driving over a lot of other cars at the time)

None of my guys died sadly. I used a decent crew but the cheap hacker, if I had spent more on a hacker I might have got a bit more cash but I got enough. I'm waiting until I can use Michael again so I can buy some more Life Invader shares with his take.

I need to get that alien task done with him too.

I thought you were supposed to buy LifeInvader shares. Wasn't that the whole point in that mission?

Whuch shares are you supposed to buy after *that* mission as I am being a bit thick, as they tank but I couldn't work out who went up?

I bought them just after that mission in the hope that I'd be buying when people were panic selling and would cash in when things settled down. I've not gone into profit yet.

I've bought PostalOp shares (cheap) with all my characters and am spending most of my time going round blowing up GoPostal vans.

I hope it works! Probably about $50k of shares altogether...

Leicester tells you that you are killing Jay Norris so he can make money buying shares when they bomb. I think you are supposed to sink as much as you can into Lifeinvader shares.

Yes, but after they've dropped.

I waited for the missions with Franklin and Lester - you make a killing on shares for Debonair Cigarettes and a pharmaceutical company. Make sure you switch to Michael and Trevor to get them to do the same though.

Yes thats what I meant. You buy the shares when they bomb not before. That would be foolish if you knew what was about to happen.

I will try and get some Debonair shares.

I bought loads of debonair and twinkle shares but the BAWSAQ has been offline since doing the missions so can't cash in.

I sold a load of others though and made good money, still nothing on Lifeinvader.

Can you park it in Franklyns garage, the big one on the main road. You should be able to get it in there if you can land it, and of course if you are Franklyn.

Nope. Concrete barriers, and no invitation to store it.

FairPlay for even landing the thing. Finally managed to steal the fighter unscathed from Fort Zancudo then blew up trying to land it on that airstrip where Trevor has that big hangar. Forgot to put my undercarriage down 😳

Did anyone manage to use a fighter jet successfully in the gang wars in San Andreas? I thought strafing the opposing gangs with a harrier would be really effective but it was impossible to do.
