So, where is the (already old?) news that xplane (www.x-plane.com) is only $30 now? (All 6 dual-layer dvd’s of it…)

The Battle of Jutland was a major naval engagement in World War I. The HMS Hood was sunk by Bismarck in World War II.

Confusing, I know.

I don’t think they’re dead at all. I think they just left the mainstream like elves departing for the West.

@bill:

Oleg Maddox has already hinted at a Korean air war game on this engine and that it will probably be made by RRG Studios who made Pacific Fighters (and the other expansions) and are working on an undisclosed project called “Project Galba”. Reading between the lines this looks very likely to be a Korean War title. I believe Oleg confirmed this in an interview at some point.

Oleg’s announcement and some shots of Korean age aircraft in the SOW engine (presumably):

If this is the time when we talk about IL-2 as a classic or the only fun simulator someone has played, then I think another something is going wrong :(

Risingson, who never understood the demise of simulator games

Speaking of Jutland, is Koger’s one good? I fiddled about with the demo for a few minutes, but never really gave it a try. I’ve been in the mood for some big guns, though.

The world needs more Fireman games. Infact, now that I think about it, the world could do with more ‘Emergency people’ games in general. I’m not sure if they should be in the form of a hardcore european-style simulation though. (But I suppose that’s better than the “buggy-but-enjoyable-mess” genre that the emergency games & Fire Chief sat in)

Yes, yes, it boggles (even) the (german) mind.

Forklifts, cranes, excavators, public buses, firehose-management… you call it labour, we call it excitement!
