The first public appearance of the Maddox Games successor to the IL-2 Series by Doug “guod” Atkinson Oleg is presenting some of Storm of War starting today at the “Igromir 2010” exhibition held in Moscow. SimHQ is fortunate to have exclusive images of the show that Oleg has taken himself with his new Nikon D7000 (!) camera. The images […]
Back To Page 2 Doug: How do you determine what effect you’ll use in post-production and processing? Cato: That really depends. If there is some specific “visual” effect I need, I bring the shot into After Effects. An example is the scene in the “Speed 2 Final Trailer” where the jet flies by and the window […]
Back To Page 1 Doug: Any interest in branching-out to other simulation genres like naval, racing, or land combat? Cato: Actually, yes. I wouldn’t mind trying to, say, make a movie using ArmA 2. When it comes to PC games — while they may not be “sims” — I love action and arcade games as well. I […]
The gentleman behind all those fantastic videos by Doug “guod” Atkinson People who frequent our forums know who “Glowing Amraam” is and the astounding video productions he has created. We probably all have our personal favorites. Glowing Amraam’s real name is Cato Bye. He is twenty four years young and was born and raised in […]
Back To Page 1 DCS: A-10C Warthog comes with brand new campaigns as well. Right now, there were only two campaigns available: “Georgian Hammer” and “The Shore”. I didn’t get to play either, but am really looking forward to dropping an LGB on Snooki and The Situation. The Mission Editor in A-10C Warthog is greatly evolved from Black […]

Pre-paying not only guarantees you a digital copy of DCS: A-10C Warthog once it is released for sale, but also gives you access to pre-release […]
Back To Page 1 The autopilot handles the flying quite well (it was recently patched in a revision to the product) and captures altitudes, speeds, and tracks NAVAIDS with no problems with the exception of getting on course. At 1300 knots the autopilot tends to overshoot course captures while enroute and then it can go […]
Designed by Ramzzess for X-Plane 9.x by Chris “BeachAV8R” Frishmuth The Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ) has long been a fantasy of aerospace engineers and business executives alike. For many decades designs have been floated, but for one reason or another, the projects have withered and died on the vine. Currently there are half a dozen or so aircraft […]
Back To Page 2 “Bloody hell! That thing is turning us into Swiss cheese!” “Not for long. Mark him, Vanya, so I can see when to let him have it!” I switched into rocket mode and dialed up a salvo of four. Tipping my nose almost vertical to the ground, we picked up speed. Vanya […]
Back To Page 1 I turn on the wiper and watch as it becomes the one place of clear visibility for just a second, as it wipes each way. The wingman falls into an easy trail formation behind me, and we proceed north. “Do you think we will have this rotten weather the entire […]
An Enemy Engaged: Comanche Hokum v1.13 Story by “Cat” All praise and kudos go to “arneh” for the Mi-24V cockpit used in this narrative. Any similarity to the Animal Planet television show Whale Wars is entirely intentional, and done entirely tongue-in-cheek and in the spirit of honest satire. I had an experience lately that I must tell you […]
Read It – Do It Back To Page 1 After a long and exhausting low-altitude flight to the target area, all eight Israeli F-16s put their bombs into the reactor site with only one pilot slightly missing his mark. The Iraqi defenses were caught completely unaware and while they put up a significant amount of […]
