“Good morning, Cornerites. On behalf of Tally-Ho Corner Tours I’d like to welcome you aboard this chilly (Get the heater on, Roman!) bus-based Train Sim World diesel multiple unit. Very shortly, assuming ‘nodding donkey’ number 142033 plays beach ball, we…
One of the advantages of being completely independent is that I no longer have to persevere with games I’m not enjoying. Back in the days when I wrote for PC Gamer I would have had to play Last Train Home…
Want to turn a green lane into a brown lane, tow a Gulaschkanone across a snowy field, or roam the Western Desert trashing Axis airfields? Get a 4×4. Want quick introductions to games of interest to realism relishers and old…

Tally-Ho Corner is fortunate to have two approachable professional pilots amongst its readers. One – James Fielding – flies RAF Puma HC2 helicopters daily, and shared fascinating details about his life in a two–part interview in 2021. The other –…
A minute’s silence in memory of the demo disc, if you please. Coup de grâced by broadband, the wafer of wonders* that once clung limpet-like to the front cover of almost every games mag is no more. Denied these monthly…
Revered race sim Grand Prix Legends turns twenty-five today. To mark the occasion I’m publishing an Open October submission from long-time reader Colonel K. Beyond the break you’ll find the good Colonel’s step-by-step guide to installing, configuring, expanding, and modding…
