Never had any trouble finding businesses through GPS providing I've entered the information properly.

I think one of the coolest things about RP, especially in games based in a real-life setting like GTA is that everyone can genuinely be almost anyone they want. From a homeless man to a pompus rich brat, a criminal to a crimefighter, a drug addict to a drug dealer, the opportunity and means of roleplay are only limited by what the server can provide you with and your imagination. Like @Valeriya mentioned above, everyone has a different way of seeing things. I think one of the most important parts of RP is forming your own idea of what you want your character to be. From their backstory, to their current situation, to their goals for the future. On a side note; Some more drug addicts would be nice. ?

I'd suggest placing those test driving a vehicle in a different dimension to those actually actively roleplaying. Giving them a 5-10 minute timer to drive and test out the vehicle before teleporting them back to the dealership (Have the test drive end automatically when they step out of the vehicle, ect). Limiting the distance they can drive the vehicle, e.g - only letting them travel 1-2 blocks before the car despawns due to distance limitations would also help out a ton. It would be a headache to deal with, but I could see it actually being of use to some. If the proper precautions are in place to stop it from being abused, I think It'd be a good feature.

@Airforce - Try disabling your anti-virus and updating your graphics drivers if you haven't already. Also, try going through the RAGE:MP troubleshooting guide found here:

This ^ A newer or more expensive vehicle doesn't equal more fuel consumption.

+1. This or the smartphone weather suggestion, or both!

In the future, please post stuff like this in the support section or game suggestion section. Currently, there's no info available to view on the vehicles at dealerships besides pricing and an image. You can find a list of vehicles and where they're available here: Clicking on the vehicles names will redirect you to a third-party site, which will allow you to view the vehicle's stats along with some other info.

If it can actually be supported in RAGE, I don't see why not.

As long as you're slowing down/stopping at intersections and giving way to those with right of way, you should be okay. Traffic lights aren't entirely synced up for everyone.

They require a 'taxi license', which just basically involves learning to take and complete fares. You don't need an actual driving license surprisingly lol.

Realistically, a taxi driver would need a license to... you know... drive. Supported.

As many have previously mentioned, it's a really great idea in theory but the implementation of it will just cause undue stress and headaches. All I can see is a miriad of /b arguments and a bunch of reports relating to stolen and lost keys. The current system, while a tad unrealistic, is still passable and easier to deal with.

Entry fees are required for many businesses to end up making a profit, especially places like clubs and bars. I do agree that having to pay that entry fee every time the server crashes is a little silly and the server should probably account for that. No one wants to spend $400 to re-enter a club just to crash again moments later and have to repeat the same process again and again. Some of the suggestions here are genuinely good ideas. Having the government pay the salaries for the workers instead of the club owners would help mitigate the inflated entry fees. Generally, most of this stems from the current server economy and it's an issue that really needs more thought/discussion/ideas. You can't lower the entry fees or the club will be out of business, while on the other hand the club isn't going to get much business if their entry fees are overly high and people have to re-pay the fee every time the server crashes.

I always feel like it's too complex for me. Any tips?

Stole two jellybeans from a bowl on the doctors desk when I was 7. Still regret it today.

Try following both of the methods in this guide, it's helped a lot of people experiencing the same issues.

In theory, It'd be a great addition and allow on-foot pursuits to have a logical ending besides the use of a tazer or just outright shooting someone. However, I feel the implementation of a system like this would prove to be extremely tricky. You'd need cooldowns in place and a bunch of other things in order to appease both criminals and police. It's a good idea, though. I just feel like it'll cause more trouble than it's worth.

Super useful, I'd love to see this implemented.

This is an awesomely detailed guide, thank you!

Congrats everyone!
