Recently, the legitimacy of FLYING's runs have been questioned, and after further investigation his runs have been found to be illegitimate. It's unknown if it was intentional or not, as some problems appear only in one stream (see first comparison) while others are consistent throughout his runs (comparisons 2 and 3).
For anyone wanting proof, here's some comparison videos made by Powdinet:
As a result of this discovery, all of his runs on both the SA board and the Category Extensions have been removed.
EDIT: Apparently it's been fixed already, so this thread can be ignored.

"There is a new glitch since 1.44 dropped where there is an instant death area above the seas at certain places. This can affect:
- CEO warehouse sales with the Tug
- MC business sales with the Dodo (and apparently boat ones too)
- Humane Raid - EMP
- Hangar sourcing (and probably sales) that are over the sea
- I/E sourcing with the barge and cargobob
Especially don't bother if you are doing Criminal Mastermind."

Just thought I should post this for anyone that'll want to do OG Heist runs.
As the title says, our argument (the side that wants to ban GInput) is that it gives an advantage over people that don't use it allowing switching between autoaim and free aim on the fly (something which you can only do by going to the menus in a vanilla game).
So the options are as follows: a) Ban GInput b) Don't ban GInput

And a video as to why most people think this should be banned:
Because of influx of photoshopped images claiming to be WR, I've added a rule that requires times below one second to have a video attached. Current times won't be removed, but future submissions will require one.
Other categories may have such a rule as well if there's a need for it.
As the title says, could that be done? They're basically perfect as an IL.
I've been wondering, would the usage of translations of the game that weren't included in the game itself count as modding the game? For example, the copies of GTA:SA sold in Poland contained 2 discs, one with the English version of the game and the second with an installer of a Polish translation made by the publisher (Cenega in this case).
I feel like an All Tournament Races category would be fun (for me at least). There's already an 'All Horseshoes' category that almost no one runs.
What do you people think?
I've been trying to do a 'The Ballad of Rocco' and I've been wondering if the use of the Railgun is allowed in those runs. What's the opinion on this?
The answer is probably a 'no', but here it is anyway!
I started work on this back when I first saw the GTA III Winter Mod race like a year ago, and I noticed there's no winter mods for VC with cars sliding all over the place, so I though I'll make one!
Let me know if something's broken, I didn't have time to test the whole thing completely.
