Thanks m8.... To be honest...I forgot how old I was until I read this...I thought I was 35 for some reason, so that was a good surprise!

7zip is great. Amazing compression

LOL! Kevin, you crack me up

The A-10 is actually a pretty lethal air to air killer, if you keep it's capabilties in mind while at the stick. It's ability to out turn just about anything, heavy armor and rather large gun make it a pretty tough cookie. Through a few Sidewinders on the outside hardpoints, and you are packing some pretty some serious cans of whoop ass. I wish that place was still around. They went out of business a few years ago. They had a big 12 inch woofer mounted right under the chair, and when you opened up that GAU-8....OH MAN!

OK...so my buddy and I used to go to this place in Seattle called "The Other Side". They had these pods they built that were kinda like those old sit down arcade machines, and they had a full compliment of CH flight controls....throttle, stick rudder peddles with a 33 inch screen and headset for communications. They used to run the old "Jane's Fighter Anthology". We would go in for 2 hour sessions and fly a mission. Usually we would finish up early and the "Mission Controller" (he was the dude that sat in the room where all the computers were running the game) would let us do whatever we wanted for the rest of the time....that time was always spent dogfighting each other. Here is a recount of one of those encounters. The mission controller first asked my buddy what plane he wanted to fly and he choose his fave...F/A-18. Then, he asked me. I had a knack of choosing odd planes, so I called out "A-10". I heard chuckles over the radio from both the controller and my opponent. We started with a head on pass. I called out "Guns, Guns, Guns". The Hornet replied "Roger"...what an idiot. I lit up my cannon, filling the Bug with milk bottle sized shells. I scored my first kill before we even completed the pass. 2 other times he tried the head on, this time rather than coming straight in, he tried bobbing and weaving. Same result. Then, on the fourth round, we tried advantage Hornet. He was BVR, about 8 miles out but coming up fast. I ducked into a cloud bank. I popped out too soon and he found me. I dove for the deck and pulled up with about 200 feet to spare. He lost me in the dirt and I scored another guns kill on his underbelly as I came back off the deck. Score so far....Warthog 4 - Bug 0 The fights went pretty much just like this until he discovered he had a serious vertical advantage over me. Once he went vertical...it was game over for the A-10. Out of 10 engagements, the A-10 came out on top 8 times.

In fact, with the new system I have been forced to re-evaluate my opinion of GRAW. It is actually quite good as well. It will never replace the original Ghosts, but still pretty good. Looking forward to really delving into ArmA though....The depth of the game is amazing. I read a blurb from one of the game mags that was nearly spot on..."Think Battlefield 2 on a MUCH MUCH larger scale"....You can pretty much do anything.

Frenzy was a metal Jar Jar Binks. The Transformers sucked harder than Spider Man 3 That said....it wasn't totally worthless....it did provide me with 2 hours of staring at Megan Fox

The Mariners are doing much better than I anticipated this year...They aren't in the basement, so that is a plus!

Even if they are hot....I think was should pack em all up and put em on a deserted island with enough food for 3 days....and tell em the boat will be back in a month. See how hot they are after a few days of no makeup and spa treatments and no more living under daddies roof with the million dollar allowance.

I absolutely suck at ground pounding. Basically, if I have an unguided weapon onboard, it is probably going to be there when I land.

Well, I decided it was time for a total all around make over. I am rolling a Athlon64 3800 with a GeForce 8800GTX now. ArmA runs great now!

I'm going to be offline for about a week while I move into my new house....perhaps I will study some and try my hand at the mission editor.... Seems like a fun game, I am still searching for the right balance of performance versus eye candy....my system is pretty close to the recommended specs (over in many cases), the Geforce 6600 being the exception and it runs like poo.

at least the bike never gets a head ache! or.... Save a whore, ride a bike

I broke down and picked this one up today. I wasn't a big fan of OFP (The original GR blew my mind), but I have been jonesing for some good combat....GRAWF just didn't do it for me.... So...any "Must have" downloads? Also, I have heard tons of people talk about the MP mode....how is offline play? I got BF2, CS and DoD Source, so my online is covered....

Hey...do you have the right to use the word "YAP" like that? Have you secured the licensed right to use that term?

wow...very cool

Got it figured out....it was the editor...just downloaded a fresh copy and it worked fine

Blasphemy! Repent Sinner!!! To echo Sparkers earlier remark...Tomcats Forever!

Could be...it's what came in the last weapon pack I downloaded

PM sent!

Well, I hex edit them, and then fire up the editor and follow the step's USAFMTL listed in the knowledge base, and then when I start the game and go to the load out screen to check out my new tanks....there are no weapons at all....no missles, no gunpods, ECM devices...nothing. I have to restore my old weapon pack install to get them back..... I will pack everything up and PM you a link, thanks!
