Boxart on the upcoming Graphsim F/A-18 sim... No detail yet, but they've got a page up finally. http://www.graphsim.com/operation-iraqi-freedom/

Agreed, this will definately be on my "must-get" list. I'll be following this one closely. :D

Looks like a big DL, weighing in at 297Mb. I'm DLing it now on a T1 but the DL is a little slow at 61Kb... I'll post my thoughts on the demo later this evening.

Crap! I'll get it on the front page...

Here's some shots I have not seen before: http://www.gbase.ch/index.asp?zone=pc&targ...=shots&id=11694 This were just posted today: http://www.gbase.ch/index.asp?zone=pc&targ...=shots&id=11765 Here's a couple of the better shots:

Sweet! LvP, you have got to quit teasing us with these shots and release it... :D

Have you created an account on the main site? Unfortunately it is a seperate database from the forums. :D

Now that my move is over and things are getting back to normal, I want to get this article done. So get those questions in! :D I'll probably wrap up the questions and add my own, then talk with Vlad this weekend.

Ranger, 800x600 or even 1024x768 are fine. What I do ask people is not to post 300dpi 1600x1200 images. :D

Snap, did you ever try wiping all your cookies?

Argon, can you submit a news article for the front page, I'll post it there as well. This is front-page news... :D Go here: http://www.biohazcentral.com/modules.php?o...News&file=index

Another excellent job Hawker! I'll move this to the weapon mods area tonight. :D

I deleted yours, since mine has pics... :P ;)

I think there will be some limited modding, such as support for skins. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.biohazcentral.com/viewtopic.php?t=1877 You can see that there's been some skin tweaking goin' on there. :D As for mods making or breaking a sim, as we've seen from recent events, moddability does not a sim make. 8) To be honest, while I love to be able to tweak skins, add aircraft, etc, I don't want it at the expense of an unstable or incomplete package. Worse yet, I don't want to see UFO's when I MP either. There has got to be some good middle ground.

Matt and the gang came through with some new pics and a vid to kickoff E3. This new video shows the first look at the new missile trails and explosions for air-to-air weapons. Object self-shadowing and engine heat blur effects are shown in this series. Grab the new 7.6Mb video here.

Haven't waded through their forum in a week or so, looks like there's some more great shots: Thread here: http://forum.lockon.ru/viewtopic.php?t=140

Picked this up on the Russion forums this morning, a few new shots: Formation flying with a cruise missile... Evidence of skins support?? :D If you read Russion you can see the threads here: http://forum.lockon.ru/viewtopic.php?t=149 http://forum.lockon.ru/viewtopic.php?t=150

Shacknews has a great review with pics of the upcoming HL2 FPS. They are looking sweeetttt! Best of all, they are actually talking about a released date of around 2 months from now. I'll believe it when I see it on my desk... Half-Life 2 Preview at ShackNews

Found the thread, it's here: http://forum.biohazcentral.com/viewtopic.php?t=1234 Looks like Jag won the auction. Jag, am a little embarrassed to ask, but I never did get a check from you, did I send you my address? It's been so long since then I don't remember.

I'll post the details this week, but you can follow the link on my first post to get the skinny as well.

What's the URL? =)

damn, now it's working. Weird...

They have posted their new web layout and are working on stuff, so they'll be up and down for the next few days I assume.

I've been trying to hit the site the last week from work and it keeps failing, has anyone else been on it? I know they were having money/bandwidth problems and were looking for some emergency cash to pay the bills, but I was hopeful Frugal would stay afloat. Anyone know what's going on?
