http://isthattrue.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/501128.gif

While fans are still waiting for the highly anticipated Heists update to be released, they can at least now enjoy some added aviation fun, with Rockstar also teasing an upcoming weekend event to celebrate the new content.

Launching today on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the Flight School update brings new jets and helicopters to San Andreas that can be used in new aerial solo challenges.

Two Planes and one Helicopter have also been added to the Elitas website, with players now able to buy the Buckingham Mil-Jet (16-seater), Western Besra, and the Buckingham Swift.

Fresh parachute designs are also now available, along with a new land vehicle, the Invetero Coquette Classic.

The update gives players the chance to purchase and equip a reserve Parachute at Ammu-Nation, with different canopy designs for their primary and reserve chutes can be chosen.

Air force attire has also been added, with the fighter pilot flight suit purchasable at all clothes stores.

The new jets and helicopters will also be available in Races, Captures and Parachute Jumps co-op jobs.

Rockstar released a statement revealing the extent of the new update: “Acquire Targets is a kill-the-carrier style mode where opponents fight in P996 Lazers to control one flag; maintain control for as long as you can to rack up points.

“In G-Rating, compete against other cadets as you fly to pick up 15 flags in both weapons hot and cold environments.

“Try out Air Force Zero, where the defending team must protect an aircraft against an attacking team as it flies to the safe LZ.

Rockstar have also revealed other adjustments and fixes for GTA Online, which will see a rebalancing of how players make money from missions.

“All Contact Mission GTA$ and RP awards have been rebalanced so that more difficult missions will earn you greater rewards, GTA$ payouts on replays are no longer reduced and all rewards are now time scaled,” the statement read.

“The potential cash payouts have increased significantly overall, although some specific missions have been reduced as a result of the rebalance.”

The world’s 10 riskiest sovereigns

The model, which uses data from Euromoney’s Country Risk Survey, shows Bosnia-Herzegovina is one of the more alarming prospects with a default probability of 27.4% over 12 months. Surprisingly, the country still commands a stable B-rating from Moody’s and S&P, unlike other, similarly high-risk bonds mostly C-rated or on review for a downgrade. Still rebuilding after last year’s devastating flooding, the country’s high unemployment rate, corruption and continuing political uncertainty make it the most likely country to default on its debts. Belarus, reliant on Russian philanthropy in the absence of other creditor support to bolster its dwindling reserves and avoid a balance-of-payments crisi...
