Re-opening soon!
Farewell note from Heinkill:
Dear readers! Thanks for all the comments and messages over the last couple of years, it has been a lot of fun being a gossip and news hub for my favourite flight sims but life is too busy now for me to keep up the work of this blog, so I have chosen someone who will take it in a new direction, to a new audience, though I hope there is some overlap.
James Halliday is a nice Irish chap who is deeply into what I would call sim-lite games: War Thunder, World of Warplanes etc. But this new MMO flight game genre is the new wave in flight sims, and will be the saviour of more hard core sims, as players of these MMOs look for something more challenging and realistic. So I have decided to support this new genre by handing BOBGAMEHUB over to James.
All the best for the future, whichever digital sky you may roam!

But why? Details please. I get all my sim news from here first!
ReplyDeleteHello I have an interest to step in for the blog. WWII flying is my big interest, and I am specialist in all marques of the Luftwaffe fighter. I have made many mission in IL2 and want again to start mission making. I follow close all modern simulator development, from IL2 to CloD and Battle of Stalingrad, plus the DCS titles. I am what I think as 'hard core' sim fan, and would look at the subject from that view. I would hope you would keep contribute to the blog after I join? Anyway I would like to volunteer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest! Can you go to the SIMHQ forums and send me a PM message there with your contact details? That will be the best way to continue the conversation. For anyone else interested, pls do register your interest. It would in fact be valuable to have a couple of people taking over the blog. We have always had an open door policy here and several contributors over the years, and that is what seems to work best.
DeleteSorry, send a PM to 'Heinkill'
DeleteThanks for all the work, and the unfettered opinions, reviews, tips, news etc. I will see you in the sky somewhere, but not in an MMO or point and click iOS-based game pretending to be a simulator.
DeleteCheck six, and may all your rounds land on target (unless you're shooting at me lol).
I have been a longtime reader of BOBGAMEHUB but I believe it is time to take it in a new direction. I have recently been captured by the wave of players moving to War Thunder, and I am one of them. There are a few fan sites dedicated to this type of game, but none of which are specifically focused on supporting players who like to play Full Real, or Historical. These modes are now available to restrict players to both historical maps, and historical plane sets - no more German aircraft carriers in the English Channel! I would propose to keep the existing content on BOBGAMEHUB for traditional sim players, but expand coverage of the War Thunder and World of Warplanes to meet the needs of this growing sim community. Please consider.
ReplyDeleteYou are joking right? War Thunder players can't even read, they just point and click.
DeleteI would rather see the site devoted at iOS flight sims of those there are many more and less good coverage
DeleteNope, I'm outa here.
DeleteGood, maybe the next owner won't be a DCS bashing IL2 loving fanboi
