It kinda don't work like that, you'll still run into invisible barriers trying to fly over a gap between areas. As far as I know you can only fly to other areas as long as there's a bridge connecting the areas together and you have to specifically fly over the bridge in order to go to the other areas, fail to do follow that and you might just start randomly die trying to go through the invisible barriers repeatedly because the game might save a checkpoint the moment you die.
For all who are asking if this has been patched, it hasn't. You just need to be VERY quick and grapple onto the FOB pole to enter the cockpit before the saving checkpoint message disappears. It will most definetly take a few additional tries but as soon as you get in wait a second or two to end the game and re-enter. I'm writing this comment 1.24.2022, I used FOB Juliet, really hope they dont patch it.
If anyone can verify which fob he is using please let me know because I’ve done it 3 times now and it doesn’t work. The pelican doesn’t spawn after reload after getting a checkpoint in the pelican
You will spawn in without the pelican but look around I did it several times and didn’t notice a pelican was laying upside down near the fob just end game after checkpoint like he said and look for it
It's been over a week now and I'm running into this problem now does anyone know if they patched it? I've been flying a pelican for days doing it at any FOB only until today it didn't spawn after I saved and ended my game. After 3 more attempts at 3 different FOBS I realized they must've patched it. Idk if they did but I hope not.
Don't bother trying to uninstall then reinstall offline. 343 anticipated "patch dodging" and made sure the disk alone wasn't enough to complete installation so gotta go online and update to play.
You need to get in and you won't be able to drive wait a second or two and end game then when you restart it will be on the ground and just hit tab or x and done you need to jump on it as soon as it gets close before it drops the car or you will die
