I've got it, took me 3 ****ing hours to get it, wouldn't have even bothered if I knew it would be so difficult but once I started I couldn't let it get the better of me.

Did it on the runway at the airport, there's a decent bridge on the 3rd island that it's possible on too. Vids of both on Youtube if you want to see it being done.

I gotta say I do like the random English peds;
"Bloody hell I'm tryin' to have a slash 'ere" and other stuff I've had shouted at me

Same here, not just peds though....
Yesterday the female GPS actually said "Bing-bong" when I should turn, lol.
Also saw some guy get run over, he got up and dragged the passenger out of the car and kicked the crap out of him lol.

Has anyone got the 5 rolls achievement? I spent an hour trying to do it at the jump location mentioned above but could only get 4 with a turismo anyone know anywhere better to try? can't seem to find any good jumps that you can go half on half off, most of them seem to be closed (wall at the sides)

Go to the airport and hit the little yellow things on the grass by the runway. I think I did it in a cop car, took me about 15 minutes though.

Wow, Snow Storm was a good mission, I am glad I had full armour and lots of ammo before doing that mission and for some reason it took along time to get rid of the 3 stars as they kept on spotting me, I had to swap cars three times as they kept on shooting the tyres, finally I got a Feltzer and booted it on a straight and made it out of the circle, it was great fun

That would be the Annihilator, and it looks nothing like an Apache

I'm with be and looking at the forums it's a problem with the Bebox :'( Users that replaced it with a netgear say it's working perfectly.

Yep, replaced mine with a DG834N. My Bebox wasn't forwarding ports properly.

Is that the game name for the Blackhawk that I've seen flying around?

 

[Dutch Guy]

At the moment I have three contacts I can do missions for, B, X and Fm but does the small 'm' next to the 'F' indicate that that is considered to be the main missions?

AFAIK all missions accessed by going to the letters on the map are all story(main) missions - dunno why they show him as Fm, is there another character later with F as an initial?

On the 2nd island there is a contact named Francis (not Faustin from the 1st island) and as said he has a small 'm' next to the 'F'

Yep, thats the one.

Ah yeah I forgot about Faustin, thats why Francis has the small m (Francis McReary), it's just so you can tell the difference.

I do have a list of Story Missions I can post, but I guess it should be in the Spoiler thread to not upset people

I've got an ANCIENT Netgear lying around at home, looks like I'll have to ship it up to me then.

Faustin

 

[ScarySquirrel]

The small M is to show that it is McReary and not Faustin.

Faustin

I think I answered them two or three post previous
