Back to Page 3 Now we get to Jane’s F-15 II… wait, I mean Jane’s F/A-18. Actually the initial thought was that we might do another F-15 with full co-op multiplayer with probably front seat/back seat as well, assuming I could pull it off. This is what I was working on while others were thinking about […]
Back to Page 2 Jane’s Combat Simulations – Baltimore I didn’t work out the transition time as well as some others of the team. I remember there was something like I could have put in my two week notice and would have gotten paid for it, even though they had us leave or since […]
Back to Page 1 Fleet Defender Well after a few more games Coin-Op was closed. Mike McDonald and I were picked up by Andy Hollis and the guys working on Fleet Defender. It was a little quiet when we first started since most of them went on a field trip to crawl around on a […]
by Scott “Elf” Elson When “guod” initially asked me to write up some anecdotes from when I was doing flight sims at first it was just going to be a collection of short little unrelated bits. As I wrote them down though it felt fairly dry and I wasn’t sure how interesting it would be […]
General Aviation & Air Combat Best Commercial Flight Simulation WINNER: DCS: A-10C Warthog Not much of a surprise here. Even though DCS: A-10C Warthog arrived in 2010 as a Beta, it was not released in the final version until 2011. For the best in switchology, A-10C can’t be beat. It may be a long time before we see another […]
A Year on the Forums by a Forumite by Guest Writer James “Ajay” Russell As a demonically handsome and extremely likable fellow, I can hear you screaming at me, “Why Ajay?! why are you posting so much on the forums and wasting your time chasing pixels on a screen, charging infantry through trenches, wiping the Luftwaffe […]
by Erik “EinsteinEP” Pierce Since I live in the same town as Tom, I was able to meet up with him recently and see how his recovery was going. He was happy, cheerful, in good spirits. Maybe it was because of the great weather we’ve been enjoying in Tucson the last few weeks. Maybe it was the […]
Or, welcome to the multiplayer follies by Chuck “PFunk” Bellows Recently, the executive producer Sion Lenton of Codemasters’ Operation: Flashpoint was interviewed by PC Gamer about the removal of player vs. player multiplayer from the latest iteration of the OFP series. You’re familiar with Lenton. There are varying notions of what his place in history will be, […]
Introduction Although pundits and historians will no doubt mark down 2010 as a year of hard and stagnant economic times, high unemployment and sagging console game sales, the simulation gaming community actually saw the year as a bit of an up-tick in terms of new content. Perhaps driven by a need for developers to stand […]

But we went several steps beyond just hosting the images. Here are some FAQs to introduce the new capabilities. Q. So we finally have image hosting on SimHQ, huh? A. Yes, you can now […]
Back To Page 1 The Treatment Session The doctor began… “Now just relax, let all that tension go. Good, that’s better. I’m going to ask you some questions, you just respond with whatever comes to mind and then we’ll go from there. First, how often did you used to sim and for how long?” […]
Or, Have You Recently Lost Your HOTAS? by Tom “20mm” Hayden Prologue I’m not sure when it happened, but it happened. I began feeling morose, disconnected, as though something was missing.
