I've been playing a good few hours now, and I'm still not sure how to get missions.
So I have Franklin and Michael, and they both have a number on their icons, so they have missions available I get that - but the missions screen on the start menu says I have nothing, so how do I know where I need to go in order to start them, or trigger more?
Have to admit I find the menu system incredibly confusing. And the phone is too, so I get text messages, so what - can I delete them once I've read them, do they trigger missions too, I don't see any option to reply?

If there are numbers, maybe you're looking in the wrong areas on the map? Or is it when they need to lie low? Go burn some time doing activities.

What is on the map that tells me where the missions are?
There's the map, then a list of things down the right hand side are these missions? They seem to be things like 'Fairground', 'Franklin', 'Petrol Station' - Are they missions or just sights to see?
Yeah I too have played the game for a little over 70 hours so far, on single player alone.
And wow those 70 hours have really flown by. I don't think I've ever played a game where the hours have gone by so fast.
If I had spent 70 hours on a JRPG or WRPG I would be fed up of the sight of it by now, but with GTA V I feel like I've barely scratched the surface.
Yes. You know the first mission involving all 3 characters.
I bought the downtown cab company as Franklin, but for some reason, after I accidentally cancelled a plea for helping out, i got some mail from them not being happy, and ever since all calls to them end up busy and I get no property management missions from them anymore.
Anyone else had that too?

Where does one get a taser in this game? I killed some one star wanted level cops, but to no avail

That triathlon was nuts. I thought I was committing myself to another 4 min race. I also found the opponents much more competitive throughout versus the other races. If I had lost that race that would have been it, no way I'd be redoing it.

You have to do the first border patrol mission with Trevor. After that, you'll be able to buy the taser gun.
Green Icon - Franklin Mission
Blue Icon - Michael Mission
Orange Icon - *Redacted*
Blowing my mind that you cannot find a mission.

Right thanks. The map system and briefing missions screens just seemed to go against each other. The map has things marked on it but doesn't tell you if it's a particular mission or just a place of interest (like a barbers etc), and the missions briefing page says no missions - It's not very intuitive to me at least.

20 minutes in a stupidly long triathlon, asshole makes me go wide around a corner on the bike and I hit a pedestrian. Race forfeit. 20-fucking-minutes.
Hold me.

This, in a gigantic open world where in literally any other game, these assets would have been completely static.
Christ almighty, the detail in this game continues to shock me.

How do you control the camera when it goes into first person view? Like in these timelapse videos. Whenever I try to do that, the camera never stays in one place, it keeps rotating.

You have to use a flat nose truck in first person view to do it.

I was terrified of that on that piece of shit race. on the run to the finish line the computer started doing one of their magical speed bursts, thought I was going to get passed. came first, yelled 'fuck you rockstar'
also, you know that 20 minutes you lost? that was 2/3rds of the race. you still have a full 10 mins after that.
Literally the only part of the game I didn't like and I really didn't like it. I fucking hated that stupid triathlon god damnit.
after big score if you've still got all lester missions, you'll be able to afford a golf course don't worry. you get mad rich. I think I had.... one lester mission left and ended with 70 mill or something on each character. with 5missions you should have LOADS.
EDIT: Also I discovered one random event about getting a banker to the airport. he gives you a stock tip. I flubbed it because I had all my guys invested in a lester mission already waiting on the stock market
it's essentially a whole extra lester mission, works exact same. If you realise you have that guy in car and it's not a good time, crash the car and kill him, mission would respawn later.Brucie gets mentioned on a radio commercial for bullshark testosterone -- a product he's selling.

edit:
Returning Patricia to Madrazzo the tune of Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" is quite possibly the most hilarious scene I've seen in a game in years. Absolutely sublime.

And since my Trevor found love, he decided to make himself a new man.

You don't use the pause menu for anything mission related, stop going in there and confusing yourself. Missions are the coloured markers on the map, they should be always present on your minimap. Go to them. The white markers on the map are optional stuff like barbers etc. The colours are your key though.

each character has a colour, things specific to that character are in that colour
franklin - green
michael - blue
trevor - orange
points of interest are just black/white icons. it's pretty intuitive because you can tell really quickly which character to switch to. on the character switch they even have an icon for how many individual missions each character currently has available.
not true, you can go to the map, click on the icon for a mission and have it set a gps co-ordinate that you can follow on the mini-map. you can also set your own 'points of interest' (up to 10) with the 'y' button (useful for finding things if you have items)

So how far out can you fly? I went on a 'trip' with T in a cheap Plane (I think it was the cuban) and at some time the engine broke down. So to try and safe myself I turned around and luckily was high enough before to basically fly back only "on air".
Including a parachute jump it was just enough to avoid any water and I landed safely on the beach (except the plane, it crashed before), which kinda felt pretty amazing.
Also regarding Planes:

Do I have to buy the regular hangar with T? As apparently the modern planes/private jets cant be stored in T's airfield
They stored just fine there for me.
Nothing you steal get stored properly in these goddamn hangars. I stole a fighter jet from the military base and had to change to another character while in the hangar and back to my character who was driving it in order for the jet to duplicate itself and be able to save. Tanks you steal on the other hand cannot be saved no matter how much you try. It's ridiculous.

Why arent helicopters spawning for me!?! Ive finished the main game and am now finding all the space ship parts, and I need a helicopter to get one underneath a bridge, but none of them will spawn for me.
What the hell is going on here? I looked up a YouTube video to find out the locations of all the helicopters but they arent spawning for me. Big story spoiler:
so I cant use his helicopter. Help?

Weird, I tried to purchase any of the modern planes, and got an error that they don't "fit".
Yeah I experienced this with cars already, but my issue here was firstly with bought planes (or let's say failed purchases)

Oh shit. I edited. Anyway, I think I'm completely screwed. Not sure if it's a glitch or what...

question regarding the massive ending spoilers
it's actually possible to completely murder either michael or trevor and have them forever unavailable? I thought that would be a sort of failed attempt or something, why would anyone take that option? Doesn't it essentially fuck your save over if you've got missing missions?
