Back To Page 3 Sound In a word, good. Two words, very good. I found the sound in WOV to be one of it’s very best features. It’s atmospheric. The radio comms are well done, not over done in most cases, and they seem to be adaptive to the individual mission you’re flying. No “You’ve […]

Whirlwind Over Vietnam Page 3
Back To Page 2 Ready for takeoff. Graphics WOV looks very good on balance. The helicopters and especially the cockpits are wonders. You turn around in the pilot’s seat and look over your left shoulder at the door gunner, he’s sitting patiently, waiting for something to shoot. But hey, there’s a M134 mini gun sitting […]

Back To Page 1 Setup and Installation Being the instant gratification hound that I am, I popped CD1 into the tray (after carefully removing my BoB 2 CD, and stowing it in behind my ArmA CD, both in the same paper wrapper (When will I ever learn? How come I can’t find that friggin’ […]

Back To Page 4 Day 4: Friday, April 20, 2007 There was no noisy low-level sleep interruption activity this morning, so I slept in to the wickedly decadent time of 7:30. At that point there was no reason to stay in bed, because every other human being in the campground was up and getting […]

I was already enjoying my […]

Back To Page 2 Day 2: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 A Yak-7 I fell in love with back on Monday turns out to be a restoration after all, misleading data plate not withstanding.

Back To Page 1 Day 1: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 My second full day at Sun ‘n Fun is the official first day of the show. Until now it’s been all buildup. A DC-3 functioned as everyone’s alarm clock, doing a very early video shoot that included low passes down the runway and loud, […]

A Day-by-Day Report from the Show by Guest Writer Jim “Woxof” Hart Monday, April 16th When I told folks that I was off to spend a week at Sun ‘n Fun, even my mother-in-law thought it was something kinky. No! Not at all. Kind of the exact opposite, really. In fact — and this really […]
Over Flanders Fields Phase 2
by Guest Writer Rob “Zundap” Harris I am usually more of a reader than poster at SimHQ, (still under 100 posts) but I haven’t enjoyed a flight sim so much in years, and felt it’s worthy of much praise. If Over Flanders Fields Phase 1 deserved the 2005 Best Air Combat Freeware Award from SimHQ, then Phase 2 […]
