There is no mechanism to get rid of it as far as I know, and you can't choose to not accept it.

Banning someone for having something they cannot decline and cannot get rid of would be hilarious.

How do you unlock another insurance policy for a car? I have the cheap two car garage and one car that is insured. Every time I take another car to LCS the Full Coverage option is locked and doesn't say when it unlocks.

Some dick was chasing me around in the chopper that has guns only(?) and doing a pretty terrible job of it.

For some unknown reason he swooped down and bailed onto the tarmac - he survived that but not the impact of my car into his face. Great.

Then I saw that his chopped her somehow landed itself a bit further down the motorway. Score!

But it wouldn't let me get in :(

Where do people get these attack choppers?
Why do I suck at making money?

It's the Annihilator and it's a piece of poo poo. It only has guns and has terrible, terrible, absolutely terrible accuracy. Some dude in a C-130 was flying around doing barrel rolls and I spent 15 minutes trying to shoot him with the Annihilator and I only hit him a hand full of times. I managed to kill us both by flying into him though.

It starts spawning and replacing the buzzard at around level 60 (it did for me anyway).

No. That screen has "confirm" at the bottom and then you get a screen where you can press play and have all the invite options. I only get "play" on the first screen, so I can't get to the second screen to do invites. At no point do I get a screen with the option to invite.

I'm also told that I can't be invited to jobs by others for some reason.

So everyone says hopping into a Lazer during Base Invaders is a terrible idea. But you don't have to take off and try to strafe the targets, you know! I just hopped into the Lazer, taxied around the tarmac and blew up all 3 targets in about 15 seconds.

Then it blew up when I taxied into the cargobob hanger a little too fast

No no, the buzzard is the final helicopter spawn (at least it still is at level 102), but the Annihilator will be the only spawn at the Vespucci Beach helipad.

Just watched some pubby try to steal my ride, and then spend a minute (and several clips) trying in vain to ventilate the tires of my Oregon Ducks colors Ratloader (which has bulletproof tires like every car I own).

Then when he went around and got into his car and I shot him in the head from 2 blocks away. :getin:

edit: Can you not kill the Merryweather heli pilot to steal the chopper anymore? I've tried all kinds of weapons and he just flies away like nothing.
Yeah I did it earlier, 3 shots with a pistol to make sure he dies, otherwise he can and will run away.

Hmm no that shouldn't be happening. The Annihilator replaces the Cargobob in the 30s and then the Buzzard replaces the Annihilator in the 40s and that is the final helicopter in the progression. Once you see buzzards spawning for you, you will never see another type unless a lower level player goes into the spawn area first. You definitely don't need to buy a Buzzard, that's for sure, even in missions you can call Lester to locate a helicopter and it will be a Buzzard once you are high enough to spawn them.

Haha this happened to me last night, with me in passive mode a pubby tried to shoot me a whole lot, when he failed he tried to steal my sandking XL, when that didn't work he tried to unload at least 4 clips into the tires. By then of course I'd turned off my passive timer and blew him away. Got in my sandking, found his respawn where he tried to shoot me a whole lot more, he wasn't aiming high enough so I just ran him over. Thanks sandking!

Also I was hooning down the road with it another time at max speed (it can go a fair speed with upgrades) and someone decided to run in front of me. He flew a LOOOOOONG way. Those bullbars are excellent.

So can we fast-rope down from any helicopter/just the maverick or can it only be done with the Merryweather chopper? Because having all passengers of an Annihilator or Maverick roping down and taking action would be pretty sweet.

This patch had to have changed something with helicopter spawns because at level 51 I am almost always getting Air Ambulance helicopter spawns at the hospitals. This changes to a Buzzard if I leave then come back. before I would never see the Air Ambulance at all.

It's all a ploy to make you buy more GTA$ to get a Buzzard. Also on Lester missions you can't call him and get anything unless they changed that in 1.04.

Speaking of which, 1.29 million and counting, yes I do plan on getting one. It will be my new ride for always and forever.

I'm not much for killing people in this game namely because you end up spawning too close so it ends up being a circle of one-on-one scenes until you get bored or the police heat becomes an annoying factor in who wins or dies.

Not like there's much else to talk about to be honest, other than observing the GTA forums having experienced a period of peace when they thought the fabled patch 1.04 was going to solve everything and then it turns out way worse and they all suggest the darndest things (You should be put in prison Age of Wushu style for being a bad sport when you destroy people's cars, it's a wanted level that will never go away until you're being anally raped by other players, no seriously) or return to old topics (Glitchers beware!!!!1) :v:
