Doubt that, Karnak. There isn't enough to distinguish WB from AH to make it worth the price difference IMHO. WWIIOL doesn't hurt WB mainly because its flight aspect is so terrible, but Target Rabaul is on the horizon, Il-2 is already here, and well... I kinda feel like WB's window of opportunity is sliding shut.

IF TK/TR ever sees the light of day. A lot of doors are going to slide shut.

I wouldn't go that high, but the AW vets easily equal the WB vets in any event. I'm not exactly sure what Elfie means by the "average" AH pilot. I may have been here longer than most AW players, but AW still spawned me.

An ancient sim created by the Chinese Mandarin Polygonists in the FuManChu dynasty. The ghosts of Old AW artifacts are rumoured to still wander the Flying Sim community to this very day in search of skill and decent graphics.

to go along w/ TR & TK, there is now target berlin - those guys should complete at least one project before starting 3 new ones - the screen shots & planes sets look great tho...

I still find the occasional seal.

They taste like chicken.

...but I can't resist. Give me your top-5 AW players. I would pit them easily against the likes of:

Drex
NathBDP
Citabria
Zigrat
Hblair

Honorable Mention: Torque, Fatty, Hristo, Hangtime, Cobra, Apache, AKDejaVu, Towd, Easymo and a few more that pop into mind...

THAT is a rumble worth watching!

That hurts Kieran, I don't even get an un-honorable mention.

I hafta admit the ex-AW player % is prolly pretty high, many like myself did AW then transited to WB, before settling here after the break up of ICI/iMOL.

I shouldn't be in that list, but thanks anyway.

I think you've missed the point. That's what makes the TW series a bit different from your average flight sim.

Target Berlin, Target Rabaul and Target Flanders are all player-produced projects and they use the same graphics engine as Target Korea. It's not like duplicate work is being done. The Target Korea team is not involved in the work going on on these player-produced projects, other than in a consulting role.

It's also extremely different in that Targetware is not a brick-and-mortar company. Some things take longer than expected, but Targetware has the advantage of not depending on a huge cash flow to stay in operation. (And I'll remind you that some brick and mortar companies have missed their ship dates by huge margins as well)
