Congratulations Nils. wink

A good bunch of deserving winners, congrats to all!

Two nits to pick:

1) The link to the DCS website is the same as the link to the SimHQ review of DCS A-10C. I hadn't checked in over at the DCS site in a while and saw a handy link, so clicked it. I was mildly amused to see I had instead returned to SimHQ.

2) The folks with the canvas and wood aircraft and the castor oil lubricated engines deserve (IMO of course) some honorable mention. That would be the folks at 777 Studios with "Rise of Flight". No, it's not a new release, but just for sheer growth over it's life span so far it could be considered all new. It's certainly *much* different from the original release. Call me a fan boy, but I believe RoF deserves some (additional) love from SimHQ's end of the year "best of" round up.

A honorable mention for the RoF dynamic campaign maybe...

I agree with the vast majority of the awards (at least simulation wise).

However, I do have one "nitpick":
-> SAM simulator was forgotten and IMO it should receive an "award" wink

Like all the winners but was kind of suprised there was no RTS/Historical catagory, especially with several games released in 2011 confused

Nice selection of games/sims/addons.

Orbx New Zealand looks really nice. Might have to try that.

Back to Karkand dlc is really cool. I got it "free" with limited edition, but it's well worth it.

By the way, it's not really that important and just a nit pick....for the Battlefield 3 section, the images are reversed. The image with the crane in the background is actually in the Back to Karkand dlc. The desert screenshot is Operation Firestorm, a map in the original Battlefield 3 game.
