    Hmm we really need someone that's good at flying a helo and doing a pinnacle landing with a Chinook.

    I think my GI PA name would be simply, "Gambler" given my name of CasinoGhost. An apt name for a ground pounder, I think.

    You also need a silly quote. :P

    as long as the flight controls have gotten a nice overhaul in ARMA2, i definitely wouldn't mind looking into flying something when i'm not running as a grunt. i have a nice setup with a Saitek x52 + TrackIR, so theoretically my control/visibilty should be optimal.

    I really want Arma 1, but I can't justify spending $20 dollars when the sequel comes out soon. Maybe I'll dig up my copy of Operation Flashpoint.

    Edit: krylon, you'll be the man if you can exfil us in a chinook by doing this. (I'm referring to the top images).

    Or you could be Fruitcake.jpg given your name of Computer Generated Faggotry. It's all good.

    me and my brother spent an hour trying to drive a jeep into a chinook in battlefield vietnam. It was pretty much like the chinooks on the site, I'd hover at the end of the runway over a cliff so the jeep could drive in. It seemed like the jeep was too wide to fit, but we finally got it. Damn thing was so heavy that it would tip the chinook forwards or backwards as it rolled around inside.

    I can't even play the ArmA 1 demo right now. Apparently they never updated it beyond 1.06, so there's a nice bug involving 64-bit Vista and 4 GB of ram. And I'd rather not limit my ram to 3 gigs just to try it. Oh well, Friday shall bring good times.

    Also: PAJ_FP2.jpg

    I know, it could use some scratches, scorch marks, and bullet holes. It'll work for now.

    If you apply patch 1.1.4 it fixes the vista 64 incompatibility issue. Worked for me.

    However, I assume you just want to try the demo.

    I don't know if I want to be the bus driver with my joystick setup, I have the knobs to control a chinook but I also want to blast some fools with the A10 cannons. Hmmm.

    Man, I'm gone for a few hours, and you guys have posted like three new pages about codenames. I need to get in on this, quick.

    I always enjoy using AT weapons, so I'm thinking something like Smoke-Trail or Smoke Screen. or if I use the Javelin a lot, Fire Control.

    Yeah, I like Fire-Control. The quote would be "You can't shake my missle lock" or something to that effect.
    The only issue is that I possess neither photoshop, nor the skills to use it, so it would be greatly appreiatted if someone could whip up one of these sweet banners for me :mrgreen:
