I have no idea what could change that. Tested in two different game modes. I think it worked a week ago.
Weapon_mg, weapon_combatmg and weapon_combatmg_mk2 works.
Sniper rifles can't be used from back seats of helicopters, tested Maverick, Polmav, Frogger, Savage
Works fine for me, maybe an issue with one of your resources?
Tested with only default resources.
This has never worked for me in the base game either. @Scott_UK has this really worked for you? If so, could you post a screenshot, and state what game version, platform (steam/retail), vehicle, and weapon you used?
Game version, steam/retail won’t matter. You can in stock GTA even from the PS3. You do it in a few missions. One being the IAA heist.
Doing it in a heist isn’t the same as being able to do it whenever. In those missions, it’s not a real sniper weapon, it’s all simulated. A scaleform for the sniper scope, the bullets are fired by a native, PTFX for muzzle flash, etc.
You are trying to prove that players were never able to snipe from polmav?
did anyone find a way to use sniper on helicopters?
This is fixed in the next release.
