Eagle Dynamics are taking pre-orders on their E-Shop for Belsimtek’s DCS: MiG-15bis. The beta version is due for release in February 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCukxxppGF0

Thanks Dave but I wouldn't disrespect you or this site by just venting. I have posted my criticism and thoughts based on what I've seen and it was enough it seems to end up on Jason's 'haters' list :)

Well done on getting the site back up, it can be a frustrating time for site owners but every site has its periods of downtime but it's good to see CA back

I'm disappointed to hear of one of our MP's jumping on the FOX News bandwagon. I'm surprised at Liam Fox making these comments, its something I was more expecting to hear from New Labour or one of our wishy washy Liberals. I've read other stories about this where sites have asked real soldiers for their comments and the response has been "so what its just a game". As gamers we play a wide variety of roles including 'the bad guys' such as Nazi's etc. I took part in the beta for this game and saw no glorification made by the game to play the Taliban role. What irritates me most is that Liam Fox is our Defense Minister, there are far more important tasks for him to complete such as making sure our troops are properly equipped, have the body armour, the safe transport so if politics is soo slow this week that he has time to pontificate over these matters perhaps he could double his efforts to ensure our real soldiers are safe.

Amazon.co.uk were taking pre-orders at £349 IIRC but then the product was de-listed by them. At that price it puts it at around £100 more than I paid for my Cougar when it was released back around 8 years ago? I don't think £100 more than the Cougar is an unreasonable price taking into consideration inflation and the extra features. Saitek launched their X65F at £329.

I don't remember seeing another brand before my first set years ago which were Thrustmaster Elites but CH Products were not very well advertised or easily available in the UK in the early 90's. I replaced those with CH Products Pro Pedals for the added toe brake capability. Perhaps rudder pedals will be a future product

I'm surprised they have yet to come up with a successor to the old Thrustmaster Elite pedals. They seem happy for the likes of CH, Saitek and Simped to fight it out there for standalone pedals. Saitek have just announced a new set of pedals: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/compedals.html

First images have surfaced of the gunner for this new laser weapon

It would be no good for Exxon's hostile take over of BP if US subs helped stop the oil flow weeks ago. Especially after Obama has laid all the groundwork with his continued attacks which surely helped lower their share price even further. Good on those oil lobbyists!

According to Gizmondo Apple are holding a press conference Friday 16th 10AM PT regarding the iPhone 4. Perhaps a product recall or an explanation of the software fix that has been talked about.

I've mainly used nVidia for the last few years but on my next upgrade I think I'll go with ATi as they seem to give more bang for buck particularly the 5850 and the 5870 models.

Fabio Capello walks into the changing room at half time and finds a big stinking turd left in the middle of the changing room floor. Furious, he asks the squad "who's s**t on the floor!?!" Heskey stands up and says "me boss but I'm not bad in the air".

Rumour has it that a fix will be released on Monday that involves a simple software update. Hopefully this is true. I've not had any issues using my phone, perhaps I've always held my phones in the official Steve Job's style or perhaps <shock> he copied me! I can however replicate the problem on my handset by holding it the same way as seen on other internet sites covering this issue. This is my first iPhone and I'm loving it! the screen is absolutely fantastic, very crisp, very clear and very responsive to touch commands. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/25/death_grip_hysteria_may_end_monday_with_ios_4_01.html

I'm not so sure its him because he's posted nothing on the forum he's most active on - Targetware. His behavior has been the same across every forum he has every visited so why apologize only on SimHQ?

Yes I remember that one, good times

Someone having a laugh, Stiglr never apologizes he just goes off in a huff to the next forum he can find and complains about censorship at the last one.

Mine was Gunship on the ZX Spectrum, my first taste of Microprose games that started a long addiction to those big boxes and glossy manuals. The video below is from the Commodore 64 version.

I'll wait and see what the subsidized price will be with Vodafone. According to The Guardian Vodaphone leaked their iPhone 4 prices and if true they look very reasonable. Prices below are for the 16GB model with the 32GB costing roughly £90 more on the same plans. I think I'll go for the 32GB if true, you can never have too much space for apps and music and if the HD video recording is as good as they say that will eat up huge chunks.

I've registered my interest with my mobile provider in the UK but no news as yet on pricing :(

Kim Jong-il the man most people would like to see go down with terminal flatulence

I'm sure the tech's they have at the airforce are eminently more qualified to repair a PS3 than most.

The media really need to stop giving oxygen to this fire though. During the election campaign Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 and Adam Boulton and a colleague on Sky interviewed Nick Griffin and although I'd never vote for the guy I almost felt sorry for the badgering and baiting that went on. The presenters came across very poorly and on occasion he out smarted them all which only serves to raise his profile and call more to his cause. The media has to stop the reporting, the baiting but above all the government needs to address our immigration issues and stop giving people a reason to vote for such a political party.

Yeah the update is only required if you want to log into the Playstation Network to buy things on the store or play online so the Airforce will still be able to use them for the purpose in the article. I don't think the class action suit will stick though as the terms and conditions are clearly stated that Sony reserves the right to add and remove features to maintain the quality of the service. One idiot hacker has caused all this, if people are so mad then go hunt him down and break his fingers.

Yes it is a possibility that in future if soldiers see anyone trying to plant IED's there will just be a shoot out and no prisoner, thats not so much because of this courtmartial but because of the way the Afghan police let him go without charge. I still have faith in our soldiers to follow procedure though despite this farce. The personal side to this story is that Sergeant Leader has not only lost his job but his pension rights too. He has a family to support and so through a battle over political correctness he cannot do that, I can only imagine how bitter he feels after giving 18 years of his life to the service because just reading this story disgusts me.
