Initial impressions after only 30 mins of flight time:

1. Graphics appear to be 640x480x256 colors

2. Gamma is very dark

3. Calibration of devices seems to be easy enough. Although the F4F Wildcat I'm flying drives like a brick. Not sure if my Cougar is calibrated correctly or not. Just seems "off" right now.

4. Communications via the text buffer work and is easy to use.

5. After connecting to fly online, I tried to choose to fly for the IJN, but that request was declined(by the host?), but it let me fly for the US. Interesting way to keep the numbers even, I guess.

6. I could open and close the canopy on my Wildcat, that was neat. :)

All-in-all, it's hard to give this sim a fair test with the graphics at the level they are. Unless I missed the menu to enable higher graphics res, it's too hard to read the instruments of see much of anything with the gamma so dark and the res so low.

Bax, i think you have to use the "TW Config. Utility" to get your display right...

Although I haven't seen it in over 7 months, pretty nice docs for those that will take the time to read them. ;)

Cabby's right (far-right? ;)), the config file will let you change the graphics settings.  And I agree, the game is somewhat dark.

BTW, if you use the F3 key, you can get a head's up display of sorts.  It'll help although I don't think they plan on leaving it in there permenently.

Ah, ok. Thanks Cabby, I'll try that. I seem to have missed all that nice TW documentation, too. I'll have to RTFM then come back with more comments. :)

1600x1200x32@85hz 4xAA 8xAF  3.0 Gamma =  WOW!  :)

That config.txt file is pretty darn nifty.

Does the Rabaul mod start in the air like the Korea one?  Haven't tried Rabaul yet but so far not impressed after trying Korea.

Bah. Screw it.

I justed wasted 2 1/2 hours trying to get my all CH USB Hotas(Pro Throttle-Pro Pedals-F-16 FighterStick)to work in TargetKorea. I tried using 3 separate controllers, tried combining them as one controller, even loaded my CH ControlMgr WBIII file to see if it would at least control the various axis.

As soon as i try to "fly" in a offline mission i get my view shoved into the cockpit floor, the engine won't respond, no pitch or roll control, and i have to Ctl Alt Delete outta the game 'cause I AM GOING TOO SLOW TO BAIL OUT.

I screwed-up my joystick txt and input. txt files(i failed to back them up like an idiot) trying to rename various controller assignments and axis outta frustration.

If someone can email me a CH CntrlMgr file and how i can restore my config and input files before i hit "Uninstall Targetware" i would appreciate it. I searched the TW Forums and couldn't find anything.

One other thing. I selected "Highest" Graphic Settings, used the TW Utility and ticked off all the compression and texture setting boxed and the game crashed. I de-selected some of the compression settings and the game would run but i hated the look of the game, particularly the flat-as-a-pool-table terrain.

ASUS A7N-8X Nforce 2 Mobo
AMD Barton 2800+
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
WinXP Pro
512 MB Corsair PC3500 RAM
DX9.0a

All latest drivers and runs every game i play from WBIII to RavenShield to NR2003 at the HIGHEST settings flawlessly.

P.S.

Configuring gamecontrollers with the "CH ContolMgr" and for FlightSims in general is a royal pain in the ass.....
