Apologies if this has already been posted (It hit open Beta while I was away on holiday).
If you thought Target Rabaul & Target Korea were unfinished don't even go there.
But If your into WW1, fancy something different to DOA or RB3D or are just waiting for "Knights over Europe" and want to get in on something close to the beginning give it a go (Much smaller download than the other Targetware offerings). A much smaller team than TR & TK and only 5 flyable planes at the moment (Gunbus, BE2, Eindecker, Albatross & Bleriot). Each at a different stage of development. (Some don't even have moving control surfaces yet and non have working instruments). The terrain etc is also pretty unfinished at the moment with simple "Place Holders" for airfield features but the guy who did the OTE terrains for RB3D is doing the work so should be good eventually. The Target Flanders forums remind me of the AH BBS in a previous life and the community is encouraged to submit skins, objects etc for inclusion. (I hope this doesn't extend to the FM). Having said that the FM is still very much Targetware.
It needs work, You can't even fly in the arenas until you have proved to a trainer you can haul a Bleriot IX into the air and do a few circuits without breaking it. (But I gather they don't get many "How do I start the engine", "How do I take off", "What's the key for....." type questions on the radio either). Once in the "MA" it is all mission based. Each running for a few hours with limited lifes. Once you die you can only fly Reconnaissance (sp)? die again and it's back to the "TA" till the next window. Having seen some of the tiles & skins produced by the AH community I reckon your should get on over and show em how it's done.
Rival to AH? not really.... DOA, RB3D? possibly given time & support.
