Here at SimHQ, as the name obviously implies, we cover sim gaming and sim related content. However, on occasion, I like to take a look at games that fall slightly outside the genre of simulation. While these off-topic looks usually don’t stray too far from the mold (usually soft-sim / strategy), I do enjoy my […]
Remember those dark days when German wolf-packs nearly brought Britain to starvation, and incredibly brave merchant sailors crossed the Atlantic under the guns of mighty battleships like the Scharnhorst, Bismarck and Tirpitz, who were in turn hunted by British battlecruisers such as Hood, Renown and Repulse? And remember the good old days when a sim […]
Windows 10 has finally been certified ready to be released to the greater public, but is it really ready for prime time? A glance around the internet gives mostly positive ‘reviews’ of Microsoft’s new operating system, but reviewing something as ubiquitous as a Microsoft OS is tricky at best and pointless at worse. Unlike iOS, […]
If you’ve been checking SimHQ regularly then you’ll be familiar with our coverage of ArmA 3 Marksmen. Now that the long awaited DLC is finally out, it’s time to take a practical look at all the hype. First, I’ll take a look at the free features, and then we’ll examine the paid features of the […]
Well, the Titan X is finally here, and I hope you’ve got a Band-Aid for your wallet because it’s about to take a hit. Nvidia’s beastly new GPU is retailing at $999 USD / £879 in the UK, but is it really the “most advanced graphics card on the planet?” In short: pretty much. As […]

Released on Steam’s early access channel this past January, BEAM Team Games, the Brisbane, Australia based team behind the game, have been quickly making a name for their survival based endeavor. After spending some time with the early access version (at the time of this writing […]
If you ask me, the tablet PC was created for one purpose and one purpose only: mobile wargaming. Steve Jobs may not have realised it when he and his team were rolling out the first iPad, but what he was creating was the most convenient, compelling and easy to use platform for mobile wargaming that […]
“During six days of fighting from 14 October 1942, the Luftwaffe maintained relays of aircraft attacking river crossings and troops. There was hardly a moment when German aircraft were not overhead…by that time, the 8th Air Army was down to fewer than 200 machines of all types, of which only two dozen were fighters.” – Antony […]
Introduction Some administrative details before we get to the fun stuff: this preview article is based on a limited pre-release beta that is believed to be a fair representative of what may eventually become the retail product. With the understanding that some features may be added, removed, or modified prior to the release, we give […]
Here is our video review for the Wheel Stand Pro for the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Deluxe V2. SPOILERS: I dig the stand, but there are a few minor issues that are worth noting. While a text review could give you the information you need, for the investment that is required for this beast, it is […]
A new breath of life for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover “Keeping the dream alive” is the slogan of the modders Team Fusion, who have just released a major update to their IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover mod. Dreams aside, the reality for those who aren’t already flying Cliffs of Dover is whether or not […]
Introduction As a long time digital aviator, I’ve had a somewhat tepid relationship with Yaw. Frankly, it’s not the most exciting input one can make to an aircraft.
