by SimHQ Technology Editor Joe Keefe Reflections by Chuck “Magnum” Ankenbauer Reflections by “Chunx” This is my first year as SimHQ Technology Editor and the first year I’ve had the opportunity to go to E3. The SimHQ staffers that have gone in years past did a great job of prepping me for the show; I knew […]
Today was the final day of E3, and for the SimHQ team that meant it was “clean up day”. No, we don’t mean that we finally took a shower on Thursday morning — rather we revisited the various exhibitors of interest and filled in any of the missing items on our checklists. Overall the tone […]
On Day 2 at E3, we continued our pursuit of in-depth hardware/technology information, focused our land combat research on specific titles, and dug into some air combat goodies. Air Combat (yes 214FG_Mastiff, there are flight sims at E3Expo 2009) IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey As reported last month, simulation developers are starting to branch out […]
E3 is back and so are we. This week, five SimHQ staffers — Chunx, Magnum, 531_Ghost, Joe and guod — will bring you daily and nightly reports from the show floor. Despite the crowds, noise, and hectic schedule, we look forward to the surprises and excitement typical of every E3Expo! “Chunx” LA is my old […]
Today was a good day. Magnum and Joe finally made it to their first E3Expo. As the SimHQ team walked up to the convention center, a Ghostbusters car was parked out front, building-sized posters plastered on all available surfaces. Once we got our badges we entered the building to see the Battlefield 1943 andNeed for Speed: Shift displays, […]
Back To Page 4 Where Are the Promised Downloads? Wow, it’s been a long time since SimHQ has had a files downloads area. Much too long. What was hoped to be available for the rollout is still under construction. The gateway is sitting there waiting for the nearly 5000 files to be linked to […]

Back To Page 2 Forum Changes… Again!? A Brief History SimHQ started with it’s forums back in 1999 based on the then very popular UBB Classic product. While the appearance changed over the years, the site had built upon the Classic database, and finally when we had pushed the Classic software farther than just about anyone had […]
Back To Page 1 Why Mess with the Current Site? The SimHQ design that has carried the site for the past 5 years was created by guod for the previous owner, Bubba Wolford, in 2003. It was launched on May 19th just-in-time to be premiered at the E3Expo to interested fans and potential advertisers. Back then, […]
-or- Alligators and Swamp by Tom “20mm” Hayden Doesn’t Time Fly… One year ago to the week SimHQ was celebrating it’s 10th anniversary. A stellar event if for no other reason than announcing the site’s survivability over ten years. We were not alone. Mark Bush’s Frugalsworld and Doug Helmer’s Combatsim also hold records for Internet longevity. We wish them the best, […]
2008? We’re Ready! Introduction Aviation and Air Combat Land and Armor Combat Naval Combat Motorsports Technology 10th Anniversary 2007 was a transitional year. Those who thought the overall simulation market couldn’t sink any lower, found out this year they were wrong. Everyone is waiting, waiting. It’s been the “year of the mods” for years, […]
Introduction Aviation and Air Combat Land and Armor Combat Naval Combat Motorsports Technology A Look Ahead to 2008 Looking back, it all seems so easy. Funny how just a few months passage of time. can do that to you. SimHQ’s 10th Anniversary. All the work and the preparation that went into making that happen. Gathering […]
