When are these people going to release their Korea game? All I have seen them do in the past year or so is add two extra projects , rabaul and now flanders to take even more time and resources away from Korea, and redesign their damn website. Lets see these clowns with no product are simultaneosly trying to build THREE different sims covering thre different eras with completely differnt types of aircraft - I bet the next thing we'll see from them is a WW2OL stle game ANNOUNCMENT and of course no actual playable game. These guys are a joke - they seem to have no focus whatsover.

When is the Korea game coming out... WTF whos running that company, Voss?

Wow... you may want to stop by their web site and actually read up on Targetware cause it doesn't look like you have a clue what you're talking about.

cc straffo.

But still, whether thay are really a commercial effort or a volunteer venture I think they are needlessly out of focus by spreading the total developer pool resources across three games instead of focusing on one project and getting it done.

Ok, seriously this time. I suppose your point of view depends on what you're waiting for. I *was* looking forward to Target Korea, until I heard about Target Rabaul. Then I was hot on that until they announced Target Flanders. Since I'm a WWI afficianado more than any other war, I've shifted my desire to wanting them to take away resources from TK and TR and put them into TF.

You have to admit that being a totally volunteer outfit, this was going to take much longer than a regular shop to produce.

We love you too, Groinhurts.

Grunherz, grab a clue

The "Target" people working on Korea are not the people who are working on Rabual, and are not the people working on Flanders, and are not the people working on Hanoi, and are not the people working on Madrid/Tuerel..... ooops did I let something slip?

Its all community donated time and effort (except for Sick who is the one full time programmer). The people donating time to one mod, most likely would NOT donate time and effort to the other mods due to their areas of interest. So there is NOT any "spreading themselves out".

Wanna bet?

And that still means that three or now four

different part time teams are working on four different projects istead of pooling their resources and getting Korea finished. Now of course they are free to do what they and wish but it seems to me that it just means nothing gets done...

When will any of these games be out? One more year, two three?

Thats my point Grunherz. The guys working on WWI bipes, have no interest in working on jets for the Korean war, and vice versa. So your not getting any lack of focus.

Ummmmm..... Two weeks?

GRUN

No one team works on any other project, I did work on the ki-45 model and skin. I did no work on any other area due to no interest.

As far as vaporware, it is flyable and quite nice BTW. Just sit back and well wait...they have no intentions on releasing an unfinished product.

And if you were in such a rush for it to be released, how about volunteering some of YOUR time.

My take on it is the pool of people with the neccesary skills are running around doing whatever they fancy instead of there being some directed effort. Having flanders and rabaul and the new spanish war one doesnt not mean most or all people working on them would not have any interest in working on Korea - it likely means they prefer doing those over Korea. And frankly since they all draw resources from the same rather limited pool of flight sim enthusiats with appropriat programming/drawing skills and (in)sufficient free time any cool new target: (instert personal fantasy combat flight sim area) project just reduces the number of people and time available to work on any of the others. Now I'm for freedom of choice but I fear with new variants and mods popping up that the talent pool will be diluted and none of this will ever come to frution for outsiders to see.

I might be wrong and maybe this is all going great, and I hope it is, but hell how long has Korea been in the works and what do they have to publicly show for it...

When will the show us the goods?

I'd like to help but I have no skills to program computers.

I've been on the beta test for awhile. I've flown both games. Some of the aircraft like the F-51 and such could be ported over to a WW2 game. But each game has it's only group that want to work on a certain period. There is the cord code that Sick is working on and then there is the differant games.
I know, I've been waitting for about 2 years for the open beta. And from what I gather, they are almost there. They are putting things up so everyone can play the games. That means more work on the codes. But from what I can see, they are just about there.
